Pererindod fach i Ynys Bŷr

Roedd dydd Mercher diwrnod hyfryd arall - rhy boeth i ni a dweud y gwir. Adawon ni'r gwersyll yn gynharach nag arfer fel roedden ni eisiau dal y cwch i Ynys Bŷr.

Doedd y dyn oedd gwerthu tocynnau ddim yn credu roedd Nor'dzin pensiynwr. Roedd e'n hapus a doniol - yn sicr syniad da pan ddych chi'n gweithio mewn bocs pren ar ddiwrnod poeth.

Rydw i'n wastad hoffi'r daith i Ynys Bŷr oherwydd ei fod e'n teimlo fel pererindod. Dydych chi ddim yn gallu jyst crwydro i Ynys Bŷr, rhaid i chi benderfynu mynd yna a dal y cwch. Lleoedd fel na yn brin y dyddiau hyn. Mewn ffordd bach mae'n dipyn bach fel mynd i Bhwtan. Mae'n daith arbennig

Pan gyrhaeddon ni ar yr ynys aethon ni yn syth i'r caffi. Pan glywodd y dyn yna roedden ni eisiau te gwan rhodd e i ni un bag te a dau gwpan o ddŵr poeth. Dau am bris un. Roedd y dyn yn hapus ac yn ddefnyddiol hefyd. Penderfynon ni gerdded o gwmpas yr ynys 'y ffordd anghywir' (gwrthglocwedd) oherwydd ein bod ni'n wrthryfelwyr.

Roedd yr ynys y hyfryd fel arfer ac roedd y golygfeydd dros y môr glas i Ddinbych-y-pysgod yn ysblennydd. Gwelsom morloi ar y creigiau a'r gwylanod yn bwydo eu cywion. Ond pan roedden ni gerdded o gwmpas yr ynys roedd yr haul yn ffyrnig ac roedden ni chwilio am gysgod. Ffeindion ni cysgod o dan goeden fach a bwyton ni fflapjacs. Roedd e'n saib croesawgar yn ein pererindod. Wedyn cerddon ni yn ôl i'r siopau a chaffi. Gwnaethon ni edmygu'r adeiladau mynachlog hardd. Byddai'n braf gweld y tu mewn un diwrnod. Prynais i lyfr bach neis am yr ynys - bydda i'n darllen cyn ein hymweld nesa. Cerddon ni i lawr i'r harbwr i aros am y cwch nesa.

Efallai roedd e fy nychymyg ond rydw i'n meddwl bod rhai o bobol wedi bod yn cael eu cyffwrdd gan eu hymweld i'r ynys. Yn fuan roedden ni'n ôl yn Ninbych-y-pysgod unwaith eto. Roedd y bererindod ar ei ben am flwyddyn arall.

Aethon ni i fyny i'r Caffi Llew i rannu salad a phitsa hanner a hanner. Roedd ffordd dda i gael eu pitsa blasus iawn gyda hanner calorïau. Edrychon ni i mewn rhai o siopau ond roedd y rhan fwyaf wedi dechrau cau. Roedden ni'n hapus mynd yn ôl i'r babell ac yn ffeindio tipyn bach o gysgod.


There was another beautiful day on Wednesday - it was too hot for us to be the truth. We left the camp earlier than usual as we wanted to catch the boat to Caldey Island.

The man selling tickets did not believe Nor'dzin was a pensioner. He was happy and humorous - certainly a good idea when you worked in a wooden box on a hot day.

I always love the trip to Caldey Isand r because he feels like a pilgrimage. You can not just roam to Boer Island, you have to decide to go there and catch the boat. Places like that are scarce these days. In a small way it's a bit like going to Bhutan. It's a special trip.

When we arrived on the island we went straight to the café. When the man there heard that we wanted weak tea, he gave us one bag of tea and two cups of hot water. Two for the price of one. The man was also happy and helpful. We decided to walk around the island 'the wrong way' (anti-clockwise) because we were rebels.

The island was beautiful as usual usual and the views across the sea to Tenby were spectacular. We saw seals on the rocks and seagulls feeding their chicks. But when we were walking around the island the sun was fierce and we were looking for shade. We find a shade under a small tree and ate flapjacks. It was a welcoming pause in our pilgrimage. Then we walked back to the shops and cafe. We admired the beautiful monastery buildings. It would be nice to see inside one day. I bought a nice little book about the island - I will read before our visit next. We walked down to the harbor to wait for the next boat.

It might have been my imagination but I think some of the people were touched by visiting the island. Soon we were back in Tenby again. The pilgrimage was over for another year.

We went up to the Lion Café to share salad and a half and a half pizza. There was a good way to get their very delicious pizza with half calories. We looked at some shops but most had started to close. We were happy to go back to the tent and find a bit of shade.
