Yeserday we woke up super early and hauled our packs to the bus station in Caernarfon, then we went to the rail station in Bangor. From there, we spent about 7 hours on 3 different trains, traveling to southern Wales. We finally arrived in Tenby and walked to the Southcliff Hotel, a gorgeous hotel a block from the white, sandy beach. Four of us are sharing a family suite with our own bathroom, the other 2 girls have a room with a bathroom and Dr. Lindgren has her very own room. The hotel is four stories and we all have flat screen TVs. We're here four nights and are being spoiled. This morning we were served a huge breakfast, whatever we wanted and as much as we wanted. The hotel owner cooks all the food and the owners have borrowed a van from their church to drive us around in. They've volunteered to drive us to our destinations the next few days, cutting our travel time in half compared with taking buses and trains. Last night, we all had fish and chips at a local restaurant.
Today, we went to Saint David's Cathedral, Bishop's Palace and St. Non's Chapel, all courtesy of our gracious driver. He's allowing us to use the hotel's computer to write this blog, which they've been reading since we arrived in England. Tonight, we walked on the beach and found a few seashells. It was nice to relax and feel the sand between our toes.
