Pembrokeshire Part 1

I was lucky enough to get out of town for the weekend, and with all the stress thats been coming down on us these last few weeks before spring break it was worth it to clear my head for awhile. We left Cardiff at about 5 pm on a bus to Swansea on the good graces of the bus driver. If it wasn't for him letting us on we'd have missed our local bus in Haverford West and not managed to link up with the car from the hostel in Fishguard until very late. We did get lucky and despite quick turnarounds made it to Haverford West. It was a pretty town but it seemed more full of boutiques than the usual stores that make up a town. Its castle, high on a hill overlooking the town, took my breath away as much as any coastal bluff would for the rest of the weekend. Our group (Jackie, Kristy, Margaret, Caroline, and John M.). After getting some take out we wandered the town until we were picked up by the owner of the Hamilton House Hostel in Fishguard. We chatted about how distinct the stars were and pointed out constellations as we bumped to the hostel.

The hostel was as nice as most any house I've ever been in and since we were the only guests we had the run of the place. It was like the six of us had a beach house for the weekend. We didn't stay up long though but quickly planned our route and went to bed. We had a very early morning ahead of us.
