This was to be the fourth and last cache of the day whilst out caching with the whole family for the first time. We were considering doing the 'Church in the Sea' cache today as well, but when we got to the Tea Rooms in Aberffraw they were closed. As we were all desparate for a cup of tea or an ice cream, we decided to just do one last cache and then head off back to our caravan at Plas Coch. This would also make my 60-up caches since I've started.We know the bridge at Aberffraw very well, as we've passed it many times on our way to somewhere else in Anglesey. We've even stopped here once or twice and have walked to the 'Church in the Sea' on a previous occasion in our pre-caching days.
The history of the place is very interesting - it's almost unbelievable how places change through time and go from being important centres of settlement or trade to quaint little outposts. The bridge here is a fantastic shape although it must have been reconstucted and rennovated many time over the last 300 years.
Cathy found the cache quite easily and completely forgot that there were loads of muggles about as she started opening it in full view of everyone - thankfully, nobody seemed to notice though. We took a nice geocaching keyring Travel Bug and left a trackable supermarket trolley pathtags coin.
I don't know what it is about those tea-rooms though - they always seem to be closed when I come!. They were even shut down altogether for a while and I'd thought they'd gone for good. One day I'll get a cup of tea in there - maybe that's what the village vexation is !!!
