Amanda and I slept in again this morning just because we could. The first thing we did was to get some food and shower and get ready for the day. We then went down to campus and I showed her around where I had classes and that fun stuff. We then went and found me a Swansea sweatshirt from one of the stores on campus. After that we came back up to the flat and got ready to go out to the Gower. The Gower is the peninsula that Swansea is located and it is some really pretty country and has some really cool beaches. We went out to Rhossili which is a really small town at the end of the peninsula that has some really cool cliffs and a nice beach to watch the sun set on.
We took the bus out and on our way out we went through some areas that they just allow sheep and cattle to graze along the road and there are no fences or anything. We were in a little town, and there were lambs sitting in the bus stop, it was really cute. I also felt bad for the bus drive because some of the roads that we had to drive on to get out there were just two lanes wide to where the bus had to stop to allow cars going the other direction to pass. It was very interesting to see how the area was out there, very pretty. We made it out to Rhossili, found some information on the area and walked around for a while. It was really pretty out there and was nice and quiet to just walk around and enjoy the beautiful weather. We sat out on one of the cliffs for a while and then we went and got some food from the restaurant that sat on one of the cliffs.
We ate supper and then went and walked down to the beach.
We watched the sun set until it was about 10 minutes from setting and we had to get on the bus to make it back to Swansea. When we got back we just went back to my flat and got ready to send Amanda back to Leiden tomorrow.
