Arrived in Tenby today which is a very pretty town set in old castle walls. This was recommended by Nick and Janet who we met at the B & B at Mevagissey. They were absolutely right.... it is beautiful and has nice sandy beaches, so very popular with families. Quite a holiday spot which relies on the tourists during the summer months.
We found our accomodation through the TI and are staying at the St Oswald Guest House. Interesting comparing how different accommodation is run. The owner here gave us the run down on the 'breakfast rules' and wanted our order on arrival, and our time was 8.30. He insisted we had to try his specialty, fried bread - which we weren't to keen to try. We weren't disappointed and didn't order it the following morning!!

We were the only 2 customers for the guided tour of the town this morning. Interesting history dating back to 500 BC. Tenby was originally a fortress town built within castle walls on 3 sides to keep out invading forces.
We caught the boat to Caldey Island this afternoon. The island was founded by monks who make perfume and chocolate. Frankly, I would not recommend either.... There were lots of people visiting the many old chuches and buildings. We had to avoid the nesting swallows poohing on us in some of the churches.
