Anglesey, Wales to Peak District, England
I'd planned to get up early and take some great sunrise pictures. I did get up early, but the weather had other plans.
We were sad to leave the chateau,
but more Castles awaited us.
Our stop this morning was Caernarfon Castle, only about 20 miles away.
This one you may be familiar with. If you've ever seen the video of Prince Charles receiving his investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969, you've seen Caernarfon Castle.
This is where all the Princes and Princesses of Wales have been 'sworn in' since the early 1900s. Presumably, Prince William will receive his investiture from his father when Charles becomes king and appoints William as Prince of Wales.
By the looks of all the construction going on, they must be speculating that the event will happen sooner rather than later.
Making our way back into England, we found our England and Wales border signs and stopped for pictures to prove we were officially in each country (never mind the several thousand pictures we took).
Back in England, we drove to the Peak District.
Since it took a lot longer than we imagined to get to the hotel, almost missed out on dinner again, but the manager of the hotel's pub was kind enough to keep the kitchen open until we ordered,
proving there is a lot of truth to the term 'British hospitality'.
