Swansea (Wednesday, 15 June 2005)
Nice weather. With the car outside, we decided to make some use of it and leave the flying ùntil the afternoon. Where does the standard tourist go who first comes to Swansea? Correct, Rhossili Bay. Despite our weight restrictions I had taken my swimming cozzy. After twenty years of coming to Swansea I was determined to have a dip in the sea. And I did it. Under the puzzled look of LP and his reminders as to what fish do in that water, I ran across the beach and threw myself into the waves. Later on we heard the water at that time of year is about 7°C. Give over, I don't believe it. I would have frozen stiff if that had been right. I spent a bit of time in the water always making sure that I had ground under my feet. The tide can be treacherous and I have a lot of respect for the sea. Walk along the beach.

Quick lunch, back to the house. Flying?! Well, yes. Hmmm, well, errrhh, bum still hurts. Let's do it tomorrow, plan it properly and go all the way up to North Wales. After all the weather could be better anyway. Ok, alright then. Pint in the pub, a curry around the corner, some more pints. Flying tomorrow.
