Sunday 19th May 2002

Destination: Madoc's Haven, Wiston Castle, Llawhaden Castle, Swansea
Weather: Dry, mainly cloudy, evening rain

The cottage is well situated, being only a few metres from the coastal path and so Simon and I made the most of the dry morning and walked south to Madoc's Haven. We saw a Raven and stone chats along the way. The tide was in covering the sand so we sat on the pebbles before walking back to the cottage down the lane.

Sarah & Andy had been to visit tourist information in Haverfordwest in order to find a suitable cinema showing Star Wars. We decided on the 8 o'clock showing at Swansea.

We though we could drive to Swansea, visiting cstales along the way and so we went to Wiston Castle, Llawhaden Castle and Camarthen Castle (there was nothing left of the latter castle, I think we'd been thinking of Caernafon Castle in the north). We still arrived at Swansea at 4.30pm with little to do escept look around Toys R Us and eat Pizza. Sarah & I took on the chocolate challenge but it defeated even us.

We managed somehow to kill the time until 8.00pm and watched Star Wars. It was good, but not outstanding and I think it should've been outstanding. At least we've seen it now and can get on with the rest of our holiday.
