2nd Caravan trip - Llandovery
Getting there
Second outing in the caravan was to Llandovery and Erlwon Camping and Caravan park. The site was jam packed for the bank holiday weekend and the weather was absolutely cooking. We didn’t have a great journey there - it was supposed to take about 2 hours but we got stuck for about 1 1/4 hours in a queue due to a broken down lorry on a roundabout - darn. Since we left about 17:30 we didn’t arrive until about 20:40.. late.
Straight into sticking up the awning and getting things so the kids could sleep - we still put them to bed about 8:30ish but being holiday it was going to be later than that.
First surprise of the stay - “we’ll send you an email for the pay-as-you-go electric” the management lady tells me on arrival… hmmmm - I didn’t read that but going back and looking at the sites booking page you pay £3 for access to electric then pay for usage”. Once we’ve setup the awning I stick on £5.00 begrudgingly paying an extra 54p for the pleasure.
Awning goes up well - being sunny really helps - along with being on grass. Much easier to punch in the pegs into the ground rather than smacking the metal ones with the hammer.
Day 1
Antique shops - Jacob was desperate for going to the one he’d seen en-route in Trecastle and we managed to convince him he wanted to look in the one on Llandovery. The campsite is literally 7mins walk from the town centre so really nice to just wander in. A Co-op is 2 minutes walk away from the site which was super handy. Town didn’t open till 11am so had some coffee and cake in the Craft Centre - really nice. Then wandered on through to the Llandovery Antique Centre which was great, lots of stuff found and the owner was great!
Day 2
Beach day! Abigail had decided she didn’t want to see the local carnival and demanded we go to a beach instead.
