While we waited for high tide in the Dwyryd Estuary, we decided to explore the beautiful Portmeirion Village shops before popping into the nearby town of Porthmadog for a quick poke about. We had been alerted by a local, there was a particularly good antiques shop with lots of well priced items, mum could not get there quick enough😆 We parked for free near the Porthmadog harbour and were just in time to catch the stunning and historical Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway steam train pull into the station.
After a lovely chat with the ladies in the Porthmadog Antiques Shop, we headed off with our purchases, back to Portmeirion to get our gear ready for a paddle out into the Estuary, and my dads maiden voyage on an inflatable kayak😀
The water was high and relatively still, just right. We got my dad first, then set off towards the tidal island of Ynys Gifftan. However, dad found the cramped sitting position and the stronger tide closer to the island made his breathing laboured. Ceri decided it wise to turn back and adventure closer to the mainland. Turned out to be great decision because that is where they discovered a hidden cove and passed over a sunken sip, a rather awesome adventure if you ask me!
Another really brilliant stay in Portmeirion, a magical place. We've made such special memories here and highly recommend a visit💗
Thank you for being here, all the best, Ceri & Kat!
