Family Visit

When I was at Carreg Cennen Castle I decided to visit my family as they live near-by. It's a nice cosy cave, especially welcome when there is such heavy rain outside. I put the self timer on the camera so we could have a family portrait. I've noted which is me as we look quite similar.

Carreg Cennen Castle

I'm visiting Carreg Cennen Castle. It's in Carmarthenshire just on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. It sits on top of a steep hill, one side is a sheer drop - I just flew up, it's easier. It isn't in great condition but there are still plenty of things to see. Unfortunately the day I was here the weather was terrible, I suppose it added to the dramatic view of it on its hill top.

Swansea

Having had a wander around the Gower Peninsular it's back to Swansea. Going to stay here a couple of days as a base for touring. Will have a look round the city as well. First though off to visit my hotel. It has a rather nice statue of me above the door.

Worms Head

Still at Rhossili, this is Worms Head. Worm in this case from the old word for dragon. Don't think I'd like being called a worm. The walk over is very hard going, lots of sharp rocks. When the tide comes in it becomes an island. There are warning signs about it because people can be stranded. I could just fly though.

Rhossili Bay

This is Rhossili Bay on the Gower Peninsular. Its a very popular area as it is so nice. Not so popular or nice on a day like today though. There are the remains of a ship wreck sticking out of the sand. The ship is The Helvetia and its been there since 1887.

Cardiff Hotel

Last day in Cardiff. Quick look out the window. Good view of John Lewis, so a short fly to the shops. Can see a bit of the Millennium Stadium and in the distance mountains. Next stop Swansea.
