After a really good night's sleep and a good breakfast we started our first day of walking from Amroth to Tenby. Although a short distance, it was quite steep in places, as the photos will show, and I have no love for hilly, steep bits or steps. I didn't count them but I am fairly sure we climbed at least 500. Or possibly more. The knees were protesting and I think I was oxygen deprived but the views certainly made up for any pain. As we say in spin class, pain is weakness leaving the body :)
Naturally sister #1 and B.I.L #1 clambered over the hilly steep bits like mountain goats. Were they even puffing?? I'm not sure - I couldn't hear them over my Darth Vader gasps.
We passed through a little coastal town : very pretty and a good opportunity to buy some stamps and a few postcards. The views along the coast were spectacular.
Tenby is beautiful as the pictures will show and obviously attracts a lot of tourists. Being a Saturday there were quite a few out in force. When we arrived we looked around some of the streets, with quaint names like Upper and Lower Frog Street before stopping for a bite to eat - cornish pasty and cake, which the seagulls and pigeons were eyeing off.
Our accommodation is the Clarence House Hotel. They have a 2 star rating but my room, although tiny, is ok and the bed seems comfy. It is located on the seafront but my view overlooks the garden - more like a beer garden by the sounds of it.
We are heading to look around and find a place to eat a bit later. We've already made pit stop at a supermarket passing some interesting people hanging about with their numerous babies in pushers outside a toilet -must be the place to hang out if you have nothing else to do. :)
Tomorrow we walk from Tenby to Manorbier, another small walk of around 12 kms.
The interesting thing is that we walk through a firing range at Giltar Point but it's safe, unless red flags are flying and then there is a chance of getting shot.
