Picturesque towns lookout over sandy beaches. The area reminded us of Capitola at home. It helped that when we reached the beach towns the sun was shining and summer was in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-4634\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/P1050473-01.jpeg\" alt=\"The Pembroke Castle is surrounded by dense urban housing.

We cut our time in Wales short by a few days, but I think we made the right move. The roads are busy enough without a bunch of people on holiday zipping around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We arrived in Ireland with enough light to roll to a nearby holiday park. Already I can tell that tourism is a lot bigger in Ireland than in the UK. Road signs for accommodation dominate intersections. Our holiday park was also nearly full. Compare that to the ghost town holiday park we stayed at the night before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the day we bid goodbye to the UK and hello to Ireland.
