We're in the middle of the Rugby World Cup, and last night the big game between England and Wales started at 8.00pm. I stepped out into the town centre to pick up an Indian take-away just before kick-off, and the previously bustling streets were completely deserted.
The game was exciting, and when Wales jumped into the lead in the dying moments, the whole town burst back into life with lots of harmonious welsh singing coming out of the pubs and hotels.
The ride today was longer (83kms), but not quite as hilly as before. Having said that, the first 5 kms were a steady relentless uphill climb. We went through the ancient St. Davids Bishops Palace, which is at the western-most corner of Wales. They were playing beautiful organ music in the Cathedral.
We are staying at Southwood Farm in a beautiful house owned by the National Trust and built in 1820.
Route: Cardigan - Nevern - Newport - Cilgwyn - Fishguard - Abercastle - Berea - St.Davids - Bryngwyn Newgale.
