After a lovely breakfast at our B&B, we got back on the road and headed out of Bath. We went straight to Cardiff Wales and spent a hour or two wandering around Cardiff Castle and the city of Cardiff.

However, of course things don’t always go as planned and on December 22 I found myself sitting on a coach to Tenby, Pembrokeshire; a fishing town on the West Coast of Wales.
