Holiday to Wales

This is a picture of my view outside the tent on the sunniest day

This is all of us outside having our tea one night! The campsite owner actually took thsi as he thought it was 'cute'!

So, I recently went on a holiday to Pwithelli which is in Wales with my friends. My family and two other families all went camping to a lovely campsite called ‘Llwyn Ffynnon’ and really enjoyed our stay, especially as the owners of the campsite were lovely and friendly! We stayed there for 5 nights from Friday to Wednesday. It was lovely to relax however I wasn’t quite able to get away from revision as at that point; I still had about 7 exams to go!  

On Friday night, we drove down to the campsite which took us about 2 and a half hours! We the put up the tent and eventually got our tea at about 11:00pm! At about 10:00pm we decided we needed some tea and we knew there was a chip van on the site. However, when we got there no one was there! My dad then decided to see if the owner would make us some chip and although this isn’t what they would usually do, they apparently ‘felt bad’ for us and kindly made us some chips. This was the first night of the owners using the chippy van so it took them about an hour to make our enormous order of 9 portions! We all felt extremely bad for them but in the end we did get out chips ate them up like there was no tomorrow.

The next day was Saturday, and we decided to go to the beach as it was a lovely, sunny day! We sat on the beach for ages and listened to music etc. I even got too hot (I can’t believe I’m saying this) and myself and my friend had to take a walk down to the shoreline to ‘cool off’! Most of us got sunburnt that day as we were pretty silly and didn’t put on enough sun cream! I really do advise you put lots of sun cream on, even in the UK as sunburn really is not nice! We then made the drive back and had a BBQ for tea! 

Sunday, wasn’t such a nice day, however was nice enough for us to be out and about. We went down to Pwithelli town and went around a few seaside shops which was lovely! The sun then came out in the afternoon so we went down to the beach for a while. Myself and my friend played ‘bat and ball’ for ages which was really fun and I am proud to say that I came out as the winner (Sorry Matty!). It was my Dad’s birthday on the Sunday so we stopped off at a pub on the way back for a drink out in the beer gardens. 

Monday, it was a horrible, horrible day! It constantly poured with rain from the start of the day until about 2:30pm and then gently eased off to a drizzle afterwards. We went into Porthmadog and found a lovely restaurant to have lunch in. I had a tuna, mayo roll, salad and chips (Mmmmm!) We then went onto the drive on beach which was just down the road, and guess what? Yes, I drove on the beach! I am currently 16 however will turn 17 on 3^rd September and so wanted to have a little practice. I really loved it and I managed to drive forwards and even reverse (badly!) I am soo looking forward to learning to drive now!

Tuesday was our last full day and we went down to the beach! There was an enormous hill to go down and back up again if you wanted to go to and from the beach, however the beach in itself was lovely. Me and my friend made the daring decision to go in the sea. We stayed in the sea for all of about 5-10 minutes as it was absolutely FREEZING! However, we wanted to be able to say that we had been in the sea at least once on the holiday! We then dried off and went to the cafe to get a milkshake. I had a delicious chocolate one with whipped cream and marshmallows! As it was our last day, we then had a Chinese take-away for tea. If you know me well enough they you’d know that I almost always choose to have chicken chow mein, and of course, the night I had chicken chow mein!

Wednesday was the last day *sad face* We packed up our stuff and went home. We really did enjoy our holiday and now I can’t wait for the summer! I hope you all had a lovely half term whatever you did!
