Pembroke Castle After Ben and I decided that we wouldn't rush to catch the ferry that was supposed to take us over to Ireland, we decided spend a few hours in the town of Pembroke before eventually continuing on towards Fishguard and taking the ferry the next day. This gave us a chance to not only hang out in Fishguard later in the day (and drive across more of Wales), but also gave us time to explore Pembroke Castle. As it happens, Pembroke Castle is the site of where Henry VII was born (that's 7, not 8, by the way). It turned out that we got one of the very nicest days of weather they had seen in years. The place was almost empty and all of the staff was telling us how we must have been good luck charms or the like as they couldn't remember the last time it was bright and sunny in Pembroke. Suffice to say, we had a lovely time exploring all of the castle. We eventually found the highest overlook in the whole castle, a site that required a lengthy set of stone-made spiral steps to ascend and just camped ourselves at the top for quite some time.
