Our last piece of paradise. Snowdonia, Part 3.

Before we knew it our final day in North Wales was upon us and we were begrudgingly thinking about heading back up to London and reality. However, with one full day still ahead of us we wiped away any thoughts of tubes, bosses and the rat race and packed up the car ready to set off to the beach.

Amy and Will didn't tell us much about where we were going other than it was on Anglesey and always seemed to have it's own micro climate. They weren't wrong! The weather through the Snowdon mountains was dreary, grey with great splodges of rain, however, on arriving in Anglesey the weather was warm and the sky mostly blue.



Dogs on their leads, we headed off in search of our last piece of paradise.










We passed all the crowds of beach goers and climbed through the sand dunes, along the first beach and then the second, until finally we had reached our destination. One beach, entirely to ourselves - and the doggies of course.


Setting down on the soft sand, we delved in to our picnics before the boys decided to brace the water!



Amy set to making Daisy dog a nice shelter from the sun as there didn't seem to be any shade anywhere close by.



P dusted off the cover and Will collected some sticks....


And voila.....Amy's shelter for Daisy! Not only an incredible designer of Plas Curig Hostel but a dog sun shelter creator extraordinaire too!


P played fetch with the dogs on the beach after a quick dip. Unfortunately during his "paddle" he managed to get stung by a jelly fish. Being the "oh so macho" man he is though he didn't complain. . . too much!




There were lots of Jelly Fish dotted along the coastline and with morbid curiosity and out of respect for my poor, stung fiancĂ© I had to take a closer look (a large prod).



Exhausted from chasing the dogs back and forth and some beach gymnastics we all fell asleep in the sun. We woke up just as the sun was starting to waver and set so we quickly packed up, took some much needed group shots and set back all along the coast line back to the car park.



Finally our magical time in Snowdonia was over and we were heading home with the most incredible memories with two of our dearest friends.



Snowdonia is such a special place and it was amazing to think that in three days we had been wild swimming in a lake, a river and then the sea- all in total tranquillity from any other visitor. If you would like to have a similar experience then I cant recommend Plas Curig Hostel enough, an unforgettable experience.
