day 2 of our pembrokeshire adventures. having figured out the shuttle bus to whitesands bay we can’t resist and take it again today — instead of turning north, though, we turn south to walk past the isle of ramsay, around st david’s head, and then all the way to picturesque solva — to have a beer there. quite a long way for a beer, but what can i say…
the weather is fantastic still: sun shine, little cumulus clouds, a nice breeze coming in from the sea. the surf has picked up today at whitesands and lots of surfers are giving it a spin. we slowly turn the corner and leave whitesands bay behind us. the isle of ramsay is following in the west for the next two hours or so.
at st justinian’s we watch the giant kodiak inflatables come and go: think rubber inflatable with two 200 bhp motors attached, each boat carrying up to 25 persons. quite a sight — i’d hate to be the one having to inflate one of those, though…
the cliff walk is, for my taste, a bit more exciting than yesterday: a couple of straight drops down to the crashing and burning sea!
eventually we reach solva which has an almost fjord like, stretched harbour. very picturesque. luckily solva is on the main route between haverfordwest and st davids and there is a bus to st davids almost every hour — time enough for a beer back in the beer garden (at the river) of the ship inn.
dinner is back in the bar of the grove hotel in st davids: nice interior, food is good as well.
another fantastic day!
