Trains and Company

Yesterday morning after breakfast in Dolgellau our mini bus driver transported us to the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog up in the hill country of the Snowdonia National Park. After our tea break we took the Welsh Highland Railway to Portmeirion, the Italianate village on the coast. We hiked through the countryside to the seaport town of Porthmadog to our hotel for the evening the Royal Sportsman. Last night we all dined at the” Y Sgwar” in Tremadog across the street where Lawrence of Arabia was born in 1888.
