West Wales Diving

I thought it was about time I added to the blog as I have not written for a while.


20/8/15

Dave and I made our way up last night, staying at a Travelodge to break up the journey.  I have to say it was better than expected and I had a comfy night sleep.  On our way again stopping a Cobb’s Farm and Kitchen for a delicious breakfast – including gluten free sausages!!!

 

Finally we reached the youth hostel.  I have to say a first for us.  Not bad, was our first impression.  We’d booked into a private room – snoring and talking in your sleep does not bode well for a restful sleep when you are worried about other people hearing you. It’s bad enough that Dave has to put up with it. 

 
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as we would have liked and we were welcomed to Wales with rain L.  Nevertheless we decided to venture down to Little Haven where the plan is to dive tomorrow.  Seems to be a nice little bay so hopefully will be a relaxing dive.  While we were there we stopped at The Castle and had a lovely steak!!  Delicious.

 
Next stop back to the YHA for a relaxing evening, or so we had hoped.  As we pulled up there was a coach there!  Walking back in the place was full of children. I love children but if I am honest I suppose I only really enjoy the company of children of friends and family, not a crowd of loud children who I don’t know.  Sitting in the communal area trying to relax was not so relaxing.  We decided an early night was in order and retired to our room. At least it would be more peaceful.  Hmmmm or maybe not, windows open and young teenagers running around outside, echoing corridors with doors being slammed.  Not quite the experience I had hoped for but I am managing to cut it out a bit now.  On a positive note the staff here are lovely and friendly.

I think I should add here, the children were not being naughty in the slightest, they were just kids being kids.................I think the issue is Dave and I are getting old :-).
 
Well that’s it for now, I’m going to have a read and then hopefully some zzzzzzzzz.

Night all.
