Day 3 in the United Kingdom


The day began with a long drive to the famous Pembrockeshire national park at 6:00 A.M., we were forced to leave early in order to be able to stay for the six hours our tour guide suggested. All of us were very excited after we saw and heard about the park from the tour guide, except for Stephen. We all tried to cheer him up by stopping at his favorite place, the candy store, and got his favorite, chocolate truffles. While we were stopped we decided to eat breakfast at Burger King and we each had a croissant with an egg and sausage on the inside. Once we reached the park we were kind of lost even with the tour guide, we couldn't seem to find any beautiful places like we heard about from her. However, once we were about twenty minutes into the tour we began to see the true beauty in the park. There were so many places for us to stop and take pictures and believe me whenever we got the chance to take a picture we took it. After the amazing tour we decided to eat lunch at 2:00 and got one of the most delicious meals we had ever tasted. Scott got the world famous fish and chips, which he said were salubrious. After we finished eating we went back to see the scenery. The scenery was much like that of a farm at first and it was very rural. The scenery started to get much more tropical by the end of the tour, with a shoreline that was breath-taking. The water was a nice cool blue that looked like water from the Bahamas. Everyone was astounded by the scenery, with all the rocks that made the park look like an oasis. These gorgeous cliffs were something that not even Stephen could ignore. We also saw that penguins all looked great, but it was almost odd seeing them first hand in warm weather and on rocks. It was almost like something you would only see in fantasies or movies. After we were finished with the tour we paid the tour guide 190 pounds and we said goodbye. Afterwards we started to head back to the hotel at 6:00 P.M., after a good six hours at the national park. Once we reached the hotel after six hours of driving all of us crashed and fell asleep. This was one trip that will never be forgotten and we only hope that we will be able to have this much fun on the rest of our trip in the UK.
