Day 21 –Fishguard to Broad
Haven

Sunday 21st June Distance: 20.12
Lovely
breakfast as usual with an extra surprise. We’d been talking about the garden
and growing asparagus. Our host had noticed 4 young stems that morning he
cooked them especially for us. We were already full but we greatly appreciated
their kindness and they were tasty. As with all the bed and breakfast and pubs
where we ate there was only one with Welsh owners at least where detectable
dialects were concerned. Andrew and Therese came from Sussex.
We
left later than usual at 10.30. It was less hilly but we had decided to miss
out the coast covered by our bus rides so we set off a little inland. It was
rural with high banks to the sides of the fairly narrow lanes.
At
Newgale we were back at the coast at The Lord Nelson for a crab sandwich and
steak baguette washed down with real ale. We seem to be doing quite well for
beer in Wales this time! A Japanese lad cycling on his own took our photo and
we chatted to somebody who had been snorkelling with his son and spotting manx
shearwaters. It turned out he was friends with the proprietor of the next B and
B. We are coming to realise it’s quite a small world and perhaps we should be
more guarded before we pass comment as you never know who has connections with
who.
Passed
an Eco house built into the grassy land and you could see straight through the
house to the sea beyond. Afternoon tea was at a disorganised hotel where they “lost”
our order and we had paid. We saw the paddle steamer which always runs on
Father’s Day from Milford Haven.
Our
room wasn’t large but it had an excellent view across the bay and the sunset
was spectacular. Despite being told that our American host was friendly we
found her really hard to talk to, in fact she was rather robotic and I had the
feeling we had offended in some way though she was ultra polite.
Our
cheapest meal was at the Galleon Inn at £4.99 a meal and it was perfectly
satisfactory.
