Wednesday 4th.  We have continued to drive around the south coast of Wales going in and out of little villages along the way.  We've been amazed at how many people are visiting the 'seaside' areas, some just totaling bustling with tourists.   The coastline is really rugged and I have found the landscape really foreign and difficult to photograph.   The tides are incredible,   We stayed at Llansteffan and I could see there was going to be some nice colour on the water so walked down to the beach and by the time I got across the rocky area and then across the sand flats I felt I'd walked miles.  You then come across signs in carparks warning that at high tide the carpark could well be covered in water.  We are currently at St. Davids.  It was time to do some laundry so decided to stay two nights.  Today we have wandered around the little village which is just lovely and visited the Cathedral.  This is a massive building built in the 12th century.  It was built in the hollow between two hills so that it was hidden from the Vikings although they did attack it seven times.  Tomorrow we move on further north west. 
Evening - low tide,  Llansteffan

This cruise ship with sails cruised passed at sunset whilst we were at White Sands Beach, St. Davids last night.
