We arrived on Saturday in Heathrow Airport, were picked up by my brother Andy and his wife Sian, and after a 5-hour drive across Britain we arrived in St. David's, the smallest city in Britain located in Pembrokeshire, South-West Wales.

The ocean resembled a mill-pond on our first 9-mile walk yesterday. Needless to say, our jet-lag added to our aching bones last night, but a good bacon sandwich, a couple of good pints and the sunshine will send us happily into our second full day.
I'm going to edit photos and make a special album, which you'll be able to view here soon. Here are just two examples (I took these yesterday) to give you an idea of the beauty of the region:
