Pembroke

The first trip I took for work was in November to this cute little seaside town in Wales, about a 5 hour journey due north west of London. I could have hired a car, but too fearful to drive on the wrong side of the road, I opted instead for a 10 minute tube ride followed by a 2 1/2 hour train ride, followed by a 1 1/2 hour taxi ride (with a conspiracy theorist cab driver that had lived in Africa for the past 20 some years until recently returning home).

I was only there for a few days, and this was the brightest it ever got while I was at the hotel, but you can still see the amazing views that were probably there during full daylight. Apparently, according to the conspiracy theorist, there is a 200 or so mile coastal walk that you can take all along the western coast of this country. He said that some people come to do about 10 miles a year, and it's quite popular. Perhaps we'll add that to our list of walks to do after the lake district is conquered in June/July of this summer.
