]]> Comment on Liverpool and North Wales: Day 9 (Last Day) by Susan Clark https://stevepalmertheblogger.com/2025/05/09/liverpool-and-north-wales-day-9-last-day/#comment-21262 Sat, 10 May 2025 07:00:40 +0000 https://stevepalmertheblogger.com/?p=64920#comment-21262 ? Like you, it’s somewhere I’d always fancied going. I remember watching The Prisoner with my dad, a wonderful memory and last year, I was dropped outside by Roy, as our Evie wasn’t allowed in. I spent the day wandering around, in awe of it all. Also, like you, I had wonderful weather, which I’m sure helped? I had a delicious lunch outside, in the square. I felt the staff there were really friendly and attentive. Sadly, I didn’t have the afternoon tea that you had 😍. That looked incredible. It wasn’t packed with tourists on the day I went, just enough people. Photographic opportunities were everywhere. The architecture was wonderful. The colours! The connection with dad🥰, he would have enjoyed it, too. Wow! A feast for the eyes and one which I will always remember. There were places on the outskirts of the village, I didn’t get to see. There was just so much. I would go back and do it all again, in a heartbeat. It was one of the best and most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. There were so many walks around the village and lots of amazing vantage points for more photography, too. Are you sure you went to the same place Ann? 🤣. (I’m going to look at my photos of it again now😉).]]> I’m really surprised at Ann’s reaction to Portmerion😳?

I did an overnight boat trip that went out to sea and back. It was so wet and foggy you could barely see the waterfalls and I missed seeing the penguins which was the point of going that far!!!

Good point! It probably has some significance, but it’s not obvious. I know the room letters eg c123 relates to past ships ie Canberra
