Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th August 2022

 Wednesday 10th August 2022

As the city of St David’s is only two miles from our campsite, we walked in. We could have got the minibus, which drives round the area hourly with a £3 day ticket, which is a really good (and popular) way of getting to the beach and to and from various campsites, but the walk was nice. 

We first came across Bishop’s Palace and the Cathedral - both impressive. Bishop’s Palace has theatre performances in the evenings during the summer. We tried very hard to organise a way home by taxi, as As You Like It is scheduled for tomorrow evening. However, no taxis are available and it will be too dark to walk home at 11pm so we won’t be able to go which is a shame, as it would have been a great location to have seen a play!

We looked around the city and had a picnic back in the Cathedral grounds, in the shade! After spending a few hours in St David’s, we walked back to the campsite.

This evening, we went to watch the sunset on Whitesands beach! It was still busy, and so nice to watch the sun go down whilst talking about our roadtrip. It was one of our favourite evenings of our roadtrip, so we will try and go to Whitesands tomorrow evening too! The moon was also magnificent. 

Thursday 11th August 2022 

It was due to be hot again today, so we went out for a walk during the morning, so we would be back at the campsite and out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. We walked up a hill which we could see from the campsite, which had stunning views of the sea and coastline. Although the top was covered in flying ants so we didn’t stay up there too long! 

The walk reached the Wales Coast Path which we had followed on Tuesday, so we ended up walking back to Whitesands beach and then back to the campsite to do some laundry. As it was so hot, it dried very quickly! 

This evening we went back to Whitesands beach to watch the sunset whilst eating chips. Being honest, when we first arrived in this area, we weren’t quite sure whether we would like it as much as it is very busy. But we have really enjoyed being here! We travel again tomorrow, the past three days have gone very quickly.
