We drove and drove and drove into what seemed like empty hills sides and endless grass where there couldn't possibly be a town or anything out there. And the further we drove I kept thinking that "were never actually going to get where were going," but eventually we did. The Gower Coastline and Rhossili Bay, is a small remote area which is a very popular tourist spot.
Today was the first day where it was actually hot; we have had lots of nice, sunny days but never hot and today was hot. So it felt really good to be out in the sun in my summer dress. The heat and the sun brought out lots of people to the coast with the Rhossili Bay beach that goes for three miles long. An interesting feature that is a part of this bay is something called the Worm's Head; it is a small tidal island that is only accessible when the tide is low. So there are only certain times when people can walk across the bare rocks to the Worm’s Head. And if the area called the causeway begins to have the tide come in then people are meant to stay on the small island because of how fast the tide comes in. Luckily while we were there today the time was good for us to walk across the causeway to the Worm's Head. I didn't think I would be doing activity like that today; I was wearing sandals to, definitely not the best shoes for climbing over steep rocks. But I did, it was hard and easy to slip into the tiny pools of water ever where but I managed not the fall. And once you get the other side you see how far you've walked and how pretty the view is. Then the walk back, since you've already done the trip once isn't as bad anymore. I would have enjoyed myself a little more if I was wearing my runners or something but by the time I got back I really felt accomplished, just like when you finally reach the end of the Grouse Grind.
