We left Aberyswyth early in the
morning and today was going to be a full day of driving. It was gorgeous to
drive through the Snowdonia National Park. No picture can do justice to the
beauty that the eyes saw. The seascapes of breath-taking beaches, inlets,
mountains, water bodies and sprinkle of castles were spellbinding. We stopped
at Llandudno and drove around the cliffs of Grand Orme. Unfortunately, we could
not go in the Tram because it was very windy. This is the only cable hauled
tramway in Britain that has been in use since 1902. A little disappointed we left Llandudno
nevertheless the beauty entraps you again and takes you in an awestricken world
of its own.
After getting mesmerized by the beauty
of Wales we reached our destination in the evening – Blackpool. I only wish
that I had come to Blackpool during autumn. During the fall the whole town is
lit up with gigantic electrical lights in shapes of different animals, plants,
and different shapes. This attracts loads of tourists every year to Blackpool.
After a full day of driving we were excited to get the opportunity to walk
along the beach. We headed straight to the Pier where there is Coral Island
which is an indoor family attraction. Although it closed, we had a wonderful
time on the pier. If you visit Blackpool in off season, it’s more like a ghost
town, still we enjoyed the scenic view and went on the Ferris wheel from where we
could see the whole town alongside the golden horizon set by the sun diving
into the sea. We walked around at the sea beach and discovered so many jelly
fishes stranded on the sea shore waiting for the waves to come back and claim
them; seagulls were flying high and low bidding farewell to the setting sun.
With that we wished the town good night and headed back to the hotel to start a
new day.
