What a Difference a Few Miles Make.

I have always wanted to visit Tenby as I have always read good reports about it.

We parked up about a 15 minute walk from the centre but as soon as we started walking we had this feeling of this place wasnt going to be our cup of tea.

This soon changed once we arrived at the centre,  wow what a view ...

It looked fantastic ...

Our impressions did a 180 degree turn once we started walking around the place.  It seemed we had arrived in the middle of the UK Chav convention of 2014 which was being held in Tenby.

 Chav is a UK term for What Sydneysiders call Westies

This fella was most handsome  - and large ...

It was quite a nice place to walk around, but the Bank holiday crowds did my head in, and I normally like crowds ...

Perhaps it's a nice place to visit in the winter ...

It did have a very nice beach but it was not good weather for it, as it was raining quite heavily ...

Another nice local ...

Yay, play time!

The most interesting part of the day was when they launched the lifeboat for a demo ...

Dragging it back up the slipway ...

Loved this Lambretta ...

I didn't realised til I cropped this photo but I managed to capture one of the local lads eyeing up the girls!

We had planned to stay the night in the carpark, but this place registered very high on the 'you will not be alive in the morning scale'!

We checked our Britstops book and headed for a pub in the village of Pontargothi.

We arrived at the The Cothi Bridge pub and were met by one of the locals who told us to park around the back next to the river.

What a great spot!  The very helpful staff got us hooked up to 240 power and told us where to obtain water etc ...

Bugger the water!  After the Tenby experience I needed a beer, and what a beer it was - they had Doombar on tap.

There was a hen night going on in the form of a fancy dress 'C' party, so there were candles, criminals, coaches, cruella de villes, crayons, cats - they had all gone to great effort.  The girls were making great use of the karaoke machine!

Because of the hen night the restaurant was shut but they they said they could do takeaway, so we had fish and chips back in the van for £5.00 each!

After the fish and chips we went back into the pub as it was such a good atmosphere.  The girls headed off to a night club about 23.00 so we stayed and were chatting with the oh so friendly locals for a bit longer.

Once the girls had gone this chap was hogging the karaoke ... he was from the Rhondda Valley and boy could he sing!

So our day ended on a high note!

We have such a good 'mooring' here that we will stay another day!
