Sunshine and more Castles

This morning we woke up and again had breakfast served to us with whatever food and drink we wanted. Then our personal chauffeur (the owner of the hotel) drove us to an old celtic cross. Then we went to Pembroke Castle where Dana gave us it's great history which included multiple attacks by the Welsh. The castle was bordered by a river and offered many more towers to climb along with a staircase into the cavern, which was fun to explore. Then we went to Lamphey Bishop's Palace where the Welsh bishops went during the summer to live. Next up was the Manorbier Castle where Gerald of Wales was born. (We are reading his book while we are here.) When we got back to Tenby, we spent alot of time on the beach since this was the warmest and sunniest day we've had yet. Tonight, the owners of the hotel have offered to cook us a special meal: Shepherd's Pie (a meat and potato dish native to Britain) and Fruit Crumble with ice cream made in Pembroke. We certainly are being spoiled here.
Tomorrow, we will spend our day in Tenby and hopefully take a boat to Caldey Island.
