Cable car and boardwalk

Llandudno  reminds me of Atlantic city in the late 40's and 50's.   It is Sept so the kids are back in school  The town is Victorian and the Promenade along the shore reflects that.  It even has a long Pier with rides and shops.

From what we have seen so far , Wales or this state is very green conscious.  There is an award that goes in their window if they meet a certain standard.   We see lots for 5s.  Perhaps those who get less prefer not to advertise.

Quite a distance off shore is a huge wind farm.   It looks like possibly 50 windmills.

Our first day we took a cable car to the Mountain top called the Great Orme.  It was one of those perfect days with sun shining and not too hot or cold.   The views across the Irish Sea were filled with Isles,  boats,  Mountains.




                                  There is also a tram but it doesn't have nearly the view this is where the up and down trams pass each other

                       There is a board walk all the way around the beach which is about 2 miles
               This is a dry ski run for summer and winter as they don't get much snow here.  There is even a lift for it.
 See explanation for these in the picture below.

                                             The pier.  We will go out on it tomorrow
