Day #9 - Wales

This morning was another early one, mostly because there was no way we could miss the ferry to Wales. They only go every 12 hours, so that would've put us gravely behind. So we slowly moved towards the bus after breakfast and drove to the ferry.
The ferry ride was 4 hours and had spotty Internet, but it was better than nothing! I took a nap and we had some lunch. Then we were back in the UK in Pembroke, Wales. I was hoping to see a corgi but alas, we only were driving through. Honestly, though Wales is stunning, I couldn't tell you half of what we saw because I fell asleep, again. It's hard when you have to wake up around 5 am. 
We got to Cardiff and skipped the castle tour (when you've seen one, you've seen the lot) and went shopping. We were also in search for some homemade local ice cream while we were here but we didn't have any luck this afternoon either. Before we knew it we went back on the bus, to the hotel for awhile, and then drove out to the countryside to ...a farm!
This couple has a beautiful farm and they cooked for us and we ate a wonderful meal. My favourite part was the dessert: strawberries and homemade cream! We didn't get our ice cream, but this welsh cream was amazing. I even had two...whoops.
They also took us around the farm where they had a bunch of animals, including an adorable little pug. There was a hen party in their guest home next door so it deinitely was a full house, but the owners were incredibly welcoming and wonderful. A hen party, accompanied with stag parties, is basically a bachelorette party. Places such as York, Cardiff, Dublin, and other places all over the country are popular destinations on the weekends for these parties. We saw a bunch of stag and hen parties just in Cardiff today, including some guys in superhero costumes, tights and all.
There really isn't much for the update today. Our last day is tomorrow which makes me kind of sad.

Till next time xx,

Sierra
