The King Arthur Hotel Swansea

Back at the St. Brides Spa Hotel in Saundersfoot.<br>Unfortunately, winter doesn't make this the best place to stay. It's dark when you are at the hotel, so you don't get the views. And the spa doesn't stay open late enough in the winter. At least I will get to enjoy it over the weekend.<br>And the walk along the coast - kind of scary in the dark. But you do get to see a bunch of stars and parts of the Milky Way because there isn't much light pollution out here.<br>

... Lez for remembering the password from last year, how impressive is that, I'd forgotten even making the account, lol! Anyway, the user id is evansholiday, and the passwrord is evans1. Just don't forget to tell us who you are! <br><br>Right, back to synching my i pod.......<br><br>Next report from Vegas or Salt Lake City! <br>

... exactly helped; how inconvenient! Anyway, everything is now booked; flights, cat into cattery, rental car to airport, Gatwick hotel, car hire in the US, 4 US hotels, 2 US houses, 1 US condo, and rental car from airport. Now I have to think about packing.......<br>

... that in itself is enough to convert me... however, metal cutlery, glasses made from glass, our own personal trolley dolly with all the snacks and wine and juice and food and films and leg room and reclining seats and a little pack of essentials and even a china house (dont ask!) was what really tipped the scale.<br><br>So in summary<br>Great wedding.<br>Brilliant surprise honeymoon.<br>Business class - GOOD!<br><br>

... t comfortable signing off on us riding on the beach. But we could go for a hack through the woods. Figured that was better than nothing.<br><br>Man it was a miserable day...raining and cold all day. Pretty much from when we entered Wales, it was raining on us...maybe Scotland will be better? The forecast calls for no rain, but it's still supposed to be cold, so wish us luck<br>

... excavated as well as the museum which had some interesting things in it. I wouldn't want to stay in this town for a really long period of time as there is not really that much there. It was very cute and quaint though.<br> <br> We then set off for London and arrived late afternoon where i said good bye to all my new friends and headed off to Fulham to stay with Jade for a few nights before setting off again.

So our first stop this morning was yet another castle ruins.This was set in the middle of nowhere with lots of sheep about but was quitenice and had good views of the surrounding countryside. The castle was verymuch like all the other castle i have seen before (the name for this one iscastle-y-bere). <br><br>We then went to the Eden valley to have a look at the dams which supply thewater to Birmingham. This was a pretty impressive dam and i wandered down tohave a bit of a look ...

Of course, the ideal way to pass the day after a 100km mountain bike ride is to walk up the highest peak in the Beacons, so after a lovely cooked breakfast at the Canal Bridge Café, we loaded up the car then parked at the bottom of Pen y Fan and set off to walk up. It's not that bad a walk, and the views are great: typically Beacons, with big, rolling, grassy hills.<br><br>Our ...

... a day to get through, and thats sad because every other year -- this was a day I looked forward to. But I'm going to do more than get through. I'm going to enjoy being here and it all being new. Because next year I know I'll think of this Thanksgiving too. I'll post pictures later. Its starting to smell like good things baking. It smells like home. I'll do more than get through today, but I miss you all like crazy - everyday but especially today. &lt;3

I'm down to my last week here now... All excitment has turned to nerves and my bedroom has turned into one huge mess!! Although for those of you who have ever had the pleasure of living with me, you'd know ...
