Our second week in Wales was spent doing a lot of walking and hiking. Thought I'd group together the pics of the 2nd week into themes, so this is the hiking theme.
There is this beautiful trail called the Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail that runs the full western coast of Wales. It goes through farmers fields - with grass sometimes taller than F,
sometimes you have to walk through herds of cows,
sometimes you are a step away from a huge drop to the ocean,
all is absolutely beautiful.
Here are some pics from our first hike the first full day we were in Trefin. We walked straight from the village to the coastal trail...not bad t'all.
The kids were at first eager to tromp along themselves. The monkey harness came in handy for little F as he quickly learned to stay on the path.
Eventually they both got tired and Joy got to find out what it's like to carry a nearly 40 pound girl while hiking.
And here is F and papa with the monkey looking on.
Here we are at the end, smiles again all around.
Both Glenn and I got a chance to spend a bit of time on our own hiking too which was glorious. It's been a while since we've been able to go at our own pace...bc...before children. Here are some pics from our respective jaunts:
Self portrait of me totally enjoying my solo hike:
This one shows how big the tides are in this area. The boats look like they are just stuck in the mud. But when the tide is high they are actually floating in the water. It's a bit crazy to think about and see.
The last day we were in Wales, we did a small hike from a little town called Abercastle. We walked up a short path
and checked out an ancient burial chamber that looks like a mini stone henge:
And we got a family pic on the way down:
More to come about beaches we visited.
