Pembrokeshire Adventure, Part 2

After setting up shop next to the tepee, we ventured out for a rambling hike along the ocean with Blue Flag Whitesands Beach as our destination. A narrow coastal path winds its way around the peninsula and we frequently squeezed by fellow hikers and their dogs. Three (and a half?) hours later, and long after the fog had rolled in, we arrived. The walk was gorgeous (see slide show below) and Google Earth suggests we went *at least* 7 miles.

After an ice cream break at Whitesands, we took a (relatively) direct path back to St. David's for dinner. I'm not quite sure if it was really a public path or just some flattened grass between adjacent farms, but we made it. The half dozen or so restaurants in town were not prepared for the deluge of holiday-makers and we had to fight for a table at The Bench only to be told that it would be an hour before our food would arrive. Fortunately, it only took about half that time and it was delicious. Spicy pizza and spicy pasta and a salad that had ingredients rarely found in Cardiff like pine nuts(!), and pesto(!!), and shaved parmesan(!!!).

With ice cream #2 in hand (The Bench had peach sorbet!), we hobbled/shivered back to the campsite bringing our mileage count in at about 10 miles. We were zipped in our sleeping bags before 10pm in preparation for the big kayaking adventure to come.
