5 days in wales
I will be in Wales a very short time in May--a preview for a real trip next year. 2 of my five days are already booked and I have 3 days free. I'll be flying from Cardiff to Dublin on Day 3 afternoon. With only 2 full days, I'm thinking Tintern Abbey, St. David's, with my base in Cardiff. Any suggestions?<BR><BR>Also, I want to rent a car for the day I go to St. David's. Any ideas on where to rent a car for 24 hours in Cardiff?

I spent four nights in St Davids and three in Cardiff in October 2001. I would be glad to try to help if you could tell me what it is you want suggestions about. I used public transportation so had no experience with driving. If Cardiff is like any other mid-sized UK city, all of the multinational car rental companies have depots within a 5 minute walk of Cardiff Central Train Station(and Hertz probably has one in the station).

Your title says 5 days in Wales but from what I can decipher from your post you actually only have 2 days in Wales since you fly to Ireland on the 3rd day.<BR><BR>There isn't too much for tourists in Cardiff. Tintern is beautiful and nearby Chepstow is a great place with a really interesting castle. and just a little farther is Ross on Wye.<BR><BR>St Davids and the Pembrokeshire coast is really beautiful. <BR><BR>Driving in the area is easy except in Cardiff and Swansea. There are many rental agencies in Cardiff so you have your pick. But Chepstow/Tintern and St Davids are quite far apart so you will spend a lot of time just driving. <BR><BR>If I only had 2 days I would pick either Pembrokeshire / St Davids OR Chepstow / Tintern / Ross on Wye and stay out of cardiff.
