Day 2 - Haverfordwest to New Ross

After a quick visit to Morrisons to fill up with fuel, we went to Haverfordwest parkrun and then back for breakfast.



 

We left the Premier Inn and went back to a small welsh bakery that we had seen the night before as I wanted some barabrith.  However it was closed and we noticed it was up for sale.  We asked at the post office but they didnt know of any others in the town - amazing!.  Then made our way to Pembroke Dock, where we had about an hour to spare before checking in for the ferry.  It is a very small town but also very floral with hanging baskets everywhere and lots of other flower displays.  We couldnt find a welsh bakery but there were plenty of hair and beauty salons and dog grooming salons but not much else.

Ferry check in was easy and it left and arrived on time.  We were lucky with the weather and the seas were very calm.  

Finding our accommodation was also easy on nice roads.  The postcode took us directly to the house.

It was just about still daylight at about 8pm when we arrived so we just had a pizza that we had brought with us and went to bed.

Day 13 Howth Head to Llandudno

Image
We went for breakfast at 8 am but were still there at 9.15.  They were so slow getting our cooked food.  We packed up and drove the short distance up the hill to the car park for the Howth summit.  We walked for about a kilometer but Paul was concerned about the car as we were the only ones in the car park so we turned back.  The scenery was really good and the paths were well maintained.  We didnt see any goats but did see a alpaca   Howth Head Cliff Walk   Howth Head Cliff Walk    Howth Head Cliff Walk    Howth Head Cliff Walk    Howth Head Cliff Walk    Llama on Howth Head Cliff Walk On the way a lady told us there was a pod of dolphins a bit further along.  Sure enough there was and we watched them for quite a long time.  More and more people were starting the walk and the route was quite crowded now.     Dolphins around Howth Head   Dolphins around Howth Head   Dolphi...

Day 16 Conwy to Home

Image
Our last day started with Conwy parkrun.  I won a box of chocolates at their weekly trivia quiz where we had to guess the length of the Conwy River in kms.  I was spot on with 55kms.  Really loved this scenic parkrun and got a good time of exactly 29 mins.   Conwy parkrun   Conwy parkrun   Conwy castle from parkrun start   We went back for breakfast and left for home.  Our lunch stop was at Attringham National Trust property near Shrewsbury.  It was very hot so we just walked around the grounds and had our lunch before continuing home.   Attringham Grounds   Attringham Hall   Attringham Walled Garden   Attringham Grounds - River Tern   Attringham NT

Day 14 Llandudno

Image
After breakfast we headed to Llandudno. It is a lovely traditional seaside resort with a wide promenade, pier and Punch and Judy.  We walked around the town and then to the pier.  There are a lot of tourist shops and kiosks all along the pier but plenty of seating as well. The cable car wasnt working, presumably too windy, so we tried to get the tram.  However there was about a 90 minute wait and the queue was right down the road.  So we walked along the tram route to the first station then headed off over the cliff We found a rock to sit on for our lunch stop and were joined by a female Wheatear. We went back to the town via a different route which took us past a toboggan run and a very nice park. The Punch and Judy show was in full swing. We returned for Fish and Chips in the evening at the excellent "Fish Tram Chips" restaurant opposite the tram station.   We had a drink at the nearby Kings Head and then walked around the town and the seafront before goi...
