Part 2 of Swansea is simple, really.
We woke up early in the morning and Britney had already prepared breakfast for us hehe aka American breakfast with vegan sausages, beans and fried eggs! [No pictures cause the weather sucked and we had to eat in the small hut]
Our first destination was supposedly the Gower but we found out that the tide would only lower at 11am and come back up at 5pm. So we headed off to Three Cliffs Bay and spent considerably an amount of time there!
And tas' me giving myself a praise because I made it! haha. Also, I can't justify how tired we were. Albeit the fact that the hike was not as hilly as brecon beacons but because it was such a long walk and extremely rocky since we're actually walking through the sea, just without the water haha.
When we got back to the main point, we got ourselves ICE CREAM because WE DESERVED IT!
We got to the Mumbles just in time for dinner and unfortunately the restaurant we wanted was closed for some reservations or something. So, we opted for an italian restaurant. hehe. Pastaaaa.

After Three Cliffs, we had lunch at a nearby cafe with our packed sandwich lunches!!
We then headed off to the Gower once more! [More hiking for me lol wth]
I swear, we hiked up atleast a 90 degree hill and down as well. Just to get to the 'devil's hole' which we didn't reach in the end because the tide was coming up and it was too rocky for us to hike properly. [LOL, maybe next time Celeste!]

YAY! Got to walk on the pier since it was closed on the first day we got there due to a fire case.
and yes, regardless of whatever people tell me. This, by far is one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in my life. [Apart from the ones I saw in Japan and Sabah]
Pancakes and fruits for breakfast! We got the pancake mix from Tesco hehe cause nobody aint got time to start from scratch. Plus this suits for vegetarians.
Omg!! After forever, I get to finally update my blog. TL;DR: My laptop crashed and it went into the repair shop for nearly a month and a half then it came back damaged -.- so the shop had to replace my laptop with a new one with less storage. So, I will have to wait to get back to Malaysia to upgrade it.
Signing off!
Easter normally falls on the month of April and that's when we UK students get our second holiday because well, you know, Malaysia's holidays are usually for a week or two or even just a day. It's pretty different here I guess, they follow the seasons because UK's a four season country (although their summer is never really summer tbh).
My friends and I decided to go 'Glamping' and we chose Swansea as our destination after much research!! I have never been to Swansea before and was extremely excited to go. We walked around the town centre in Swansea when we reached there since the Glamping area wouldn't be ready til about 4 in the evening.
The town itself is extremely near the pier unlike Cardiff where you would need the train, Swansea enables us to walk around. After having lunch (at mcD because I was craving for it so badly), we decided to head off to the Mumbles!! The main area for Swansea hehe. It's basically at the beach and that's where everyone goes over to eat, hang out etc.
Since the tide was low, we were able to walk on the rocks etc (we went back the next day and the tide was high up, but I forgot to take a picture of it!!! D: sad times.)
The girls slept in the hut whereas TG opted to sleep in the caravan, which was extremely cosy imo. The kitchen was situated in the caravan and since Iman and I had already prepped sardin fried rice the day before, we heated it up by cooking it in the kitchen. Extremely fun!!
Anyway, part 2 will be about our hike and extremely tiring day. HAHA.

A few hours later, after hanging at the Mumbles. We headed off to our destination!!
Me trying to tell Celeste that the kitchen's too small for me to stand up.
So dinner's ready! By Iman and I!
Because the area is surrounded by people camping/glamping like us (Depends on what package you take) but there were alot of families around! So, it didn't feel scary that much. Except the fact that the site aims on saving electricity and on water, so showers close at 10pm and there's absolutely no lights around the site except for the registration area and the toilets. It would take atleast five to ten minutes to walk to the toilet area and you would require a torch light. I forgot to bring mine since I didn't think of the ecosystem thingy, so I had to use my phone, which wasn't really bright, eventhough they had the flashlight function. [AND THAT'S WHY, BRING A FLASH LIGHT!]
and here you go, pictures of what is in the hut, hehe. It's abit small but comfortable enough for 4 people.
Anyway, part 2 will be about our hike and extremely tiring day. HAHA.
