No view from my room this time, my room is at the back, but here's the view from the front of the hotel. Food: seafood pie at the bucaneer inn.

Foggy!





This was what was left of my view this morning, my bike got to rest inside too, next to the boss' '74 yamaha 650. St.david's was great, didn't expect much at first, it being the holiest town in wales, and i saw a lot of dutch families there. But i did as the lonely planet guide said and watched the sun set from the farmer's arms' beer garden. Great welcome there by all the 'surfer dudes.' And i stayed there till closing time (at 00:00, it's still britain). So had a bit of a hangover this morning.

More fish







Moules marinieres, sea bass fillet, and local cheese platter at cafe neptune, fish and chippy downstairs, posh fish restaurant upstairs. Indulge it says on the wall, guess i did

Edit: Actually this post was supposed to be a few days back, in beaumaris
