2011–Dad & Lad Road Trip-Lads Blog 23/4

Day two, the Portmeirion and bridge tours and we are well into our road trip by now. The day started off as if a complete replica of yesterdays weather, quite misty and by some means damp. Thankfully by now, we had left the dump which is more commonly known  by ‘Savannah B&B’. As we arrived at Portmeirion, the buildings looked somewhat different to others i had seen previous, as they were stacked up in some fashion and painted the Italian way. Although they were coloured so exotically, i was not stifled by this and was still intrigued by what this historic place had to offer. Moreover, as we had completed the tour of Portmeirion, me and poppa-smurf soon headed off to try and find a pub with sky-sports, you would think this task is a simple one, but this task proved very difficult indeed and it was only a few minutes before kick-off that we found a little pub in the middle of nowhere which offered what we wanted, live footage of Manchester United against Everton Football Club.

In addition to the football match coming to an end and with Manchester United taking all three points from what i would call a ‘thriller’, we set off once more to try and find these two bridges and a rather long named train station. Once we had found these two bridges, we drove over one with only exchanging a few words on what we thought of them, but once we found the second one, we had a lot more to share, but to my fathers displeasure, the topic of this conversation wasn’t based around bridges, nope, this was based around how adorable lambs look when freshly cut.

One hour previous, we arrived at what was to my amazement. We arrived at the worlds longest named train station.  The viewing of this train-station was short yet sweet as we stayed there for roughly around 10-30 minutes.

Finally, after completing everything on todays list, we headed back to our place to stay and to complete our second evenings visit to ‘weather spoons’ for a delicious meal, one could not complain, cracking day, hope it stays this way, success!
