Holiday - part 2

Our second stop was at Chester where we were met by Dave who had promised us a tour of the city. So we made use of the park and ride and arrived in the city centre.
One of the best ways to see the city is to 'walk the wall' and this is one of the many joining points with its ornate clock tower
By coincidence there was a singing festival on the day we visited and there were spots in the city being visited in rotation by various music groups. This group of youngsters sang well arranged 'spirituals'.
Also coincidentally it was race day and the city wall takes you past the race course giving as good a view as some paid-for places.
The next day we set out to explore Llandudno (passing the Belmont where Nana has stayed with the MinToEs), taking a 'tram' ride up the Great Orm and visiting Conwy with its impressive castle

Mark asked me if MinToEs stands for Miniature Trains of England?! :o)

I assume Nana was on holiday with the church group and hasn't taken up train spotting? If she has I think she would see more if she went for big ones rather than miniatures :O)
