Day 2 Fishguard to Goodwick and Abercastle to Abereiddy

We had a short section of path to do from Fishguard to Goodwick so we soon got that bit done walking along the Marine Drive into Goodwick.

The sea front at Goodwick has three large mosaics as well as a nice cafe which we had time to visit before catching the bus to Abercastle.

 

The weather was much drier today and sunny but there was still a cold wind blowing so we needed to keep on the move. Our walk was shorter today because we had extended the walk yesterday. We walked to Porthgain and then on to Abereiddy where we visited a flooded slate quarry called the Blue Lagoon.

Lots of badger holes on the coast path

We had plenty of time before the bus so we walked back the two miles to Porthgain and had tea and scones in The Shed. It would have been fish and chips but we were there at just the wrong time. All we had to do now was wait for the bus.......and wait........and wait........and wait. Half an hour later  the bus came limping along with one flat tyre at the back. Now we were assured this would be OK as there were four tyres at the back so as long as we went slowly and nothing else went wrong we would get back......sometime! On top of this there was a new driver learning the route who didn't have much of a clue where he was and had a problem finding the right gear. The regular driver Michelle was on board thankfully or we might still be there. We eventually arrived back in Fishguard at 8.15pm.
