We have been real laid back this trip. We usually are in no hurry to get out of bed. We usually make it to breakfast by 9:00 am and are on the road by 10:00. Not this morning. We had to be at the ferry at 8:00. We were to breakfast at 7:00. I had a few Euros left and as we were going back to the UK where they use Pounds I stopped and bought gas. Still $7 .00 a gallon. We then lined up for the ferry. The ferry ride was 3 ½ hours. I roam the ship and Jan reads. We found some big lounge chairs at the very back of the ship and watched the water churn as the huge ship leaves it behind.

After landing we immediately turned down a narrow back road heading for some small towns along the southwest coast of Wales. We drove south to the very furthest tip of the British Isles. The roads were mostly one lane so we have always be prepared to slow down and move to the left or wait in a wide place in the road so oncoming cars, trucks and tractors can pass. We went through several beautiful small villages. They had wonderful beaches. The sun was shining and the fields are all a bright green. What great photo opportunities.



We went to the last town before the end named Dale and then continued out to end of the land. We then turned around and headed toward Tenby. It is a larger town along the coast with more beautiful beaches. It also has its original ancient walls still in tact. There was a narrow road going through the wall. Jan reminded me that I couldn’t drive there but I got through fine. We ended up going very slow down a narrow shopping street clearing the people out of our way.



We are stay tonight in Swansea in a Best Western across the street from the ocean. We both had fish and chips.
