Neyland, Pembrokeshire, Wales: 12 July 2016
Day 12
The southward drive today from Liverpool to Pembroke was slated to be only about four hours so we chose the "shortest route" on the GPS.  Lots of twisty, turns roads that we might have avoided had we been on the "fastest route" but our scenic route led us the King Arthur's Labyrinth". Not exactly a Disneyland experience, but perhaps too close.  An old slate mine has been turned into a dark-ages-like locale full of myth, legend and tale.  I found it interesting in that there is a bit of difference in the tales of King Arthur as told by the Welsh. Next, on to Excalibur?


Ian, Katy's partner, met us to welcome us to our AirBnB: our home for the next 16 nights or so.  Fresh flowers, coffee, milk and Welsh tea cakes were ready for us.  The flat is on the third and fourth floors of a quite old building.  The Neyland Yacht Club is next door and the view from the back of the flat is of Pembroke Dock on the opposite side of the estuary.  Justin and I chose this location to be close to the water.  Ian told us of several nearby restaurants and promised to bring by more information tomorrow.  Justin and I got most of our "stuff" upstairs before we headed out for a dinner of Indian food.
There was a time when we thought we'd be fine sleeping in a twin bed, but now, in a double bed, with Gemma too, there just isn't room for our arms.
