Our arrival in Fishguard Port was unspectacular. The ferry experience was the same as the trip over to Ireland, so nothing new...(how fickle we are). We searched a while for a Hertz counter, which proved fruitless as there was none. A local told us that a representative would be waiting for us, and he was right. So after eventually finding our hire car we began the last leg of our road trip.
Carew Castle was our first stop which also had a Mill nearby on the lake. Immediately, I noticed that Wales has what I expected castles to be, as opposed to Ireland where the ones we saw were really only tall stone towers. We spent quite a lot of time exploring the grounds and imagining what life would have been like.

We then went in search of the Coast and found it near Tenby and started along the coast drive... which was a single country lane edged by high hedges. So, we decided to forgo the "coast" and head straight to Cardiff.
We investigated Cardiff Castle and then drove to the border with a brief stop at Tintern Abbey (also near the first place brass was made). We just had time for one more castle (Chepstow) before heading to London.

In London, we met up with Hannah, who we had met in Africa, and had a dim sum (yum cha) lunch. There, she suggested a couple of places we hadn't been to and we spent the afternoon visiting Covent Garden markets and Harrods.

Hello,
Hope you are having a fabulous time, wherever you are at the moment. I was just having a look at your photos from Paris - Paris in springtime - beautiful - you lucky thing. :) The days here at the moment are extremely long. It doesn't get dark properly until after 11pm. I hope you are enjoying glorious long summer evenings too.
xoxo
