Monday – Coast and Cathedral

Lo and behold, another cloudless sunny day. Brilliant! Breakfast at home and then at about 9:30 we ventured out, headed to Dale Village, a quaint little fishing village. Elaine collected bunches of sea glass on the rocky beach. I helped a little and then walked around a bit as Elaine continued collecting.

We then headed toward our next destination but diverted to Martin’s Haven, noted for its deer park. We saw no deer but quite a few cows, seals way below us on the rocks, and gorgeous scenery. It’s a National Trust site.

Back in the car, we stopped at Broad Haven for our picnic lunch. No seagull encounters today!

Then it was on to St David’s, the smallest city in the UK. Smallest city, mind you, not smallest town. And it is home to St David’s Cathedral. We walked around the magnificent cathedral, part ruin, part active church and enjoyed the organ music.

Then it was back to home base where we stopped at Neyland Marina for a pint and made a dinner reservation for tomorrow night.

Dinner tonight was just down the road from Kiln House, our cottage, at the Ferry House Inn, so it was walking distance. It was good solid pub food. We both had the fish special, a huge amount of nicely cooked plaice.

Easy on the Wine, Elaine!

  1. A superb Christmas card photo indeed!! And the one of Joe was his DiCaprio King of the World shot, priceless!

    How is the weather so perfect? Not sure if you heard how Hurricane Odile destroyed Cabo San Lucas, no Mexico beach vacations or port visits got a long time. That was some rain!

  2. All of these pics of Wales have been really beautiful. And, yes, that IS the Christmas photo. You both look great in front of spectacular sea coast. And Joe is a red shirt and Elaine with just a touch of red. Perfect.

    I especially loved seeing Tenby from the last post. My friends from Wales used to holiday there often before children. They never took a photo! But they both sang it praises. Never told me about the palm trees! Quaint and full of history.

    Onward ….
