Whitemill to Aberdare (53.96 mi)

A change in plans today. We decided we needed a hotel for a night so we headed in a more direct route. It turned out to be a really great day with lots of paths and although it was cloudy not a drop of rain! All the signs here are in Welsh and English. 

While we had stopped for a moment to check directions, we noticed that google maps listed a primate sanctuary that was only 0.3 mi from where we were at that moment. It didn’t take us long to decide to take the detour. All of the animals there came from really terrible circumstances. Its always sad to see any animal in a cage but they seemed well cared for in their current home. We recommend a trip to the Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary. This is Toto. 

Made it to our hotel in time for a shower and dinner than went immediately to bed. It was great.
