The Mumbles ... prepare for some glorious scenery

Finally, the day was beautiful and we had some spare time to drive to Swansea and 'The Mumbles'. The Mumbles & the Gower Peninsula is an area along the coast and it is very beautiful. 


Our first stop was Bracelet Bay. 




It was magnificent. It was also filled with some incredible rock pools so we spent some time looking, watching, exploring, resting ... there is something pretty life-giving about the sea on a sunny day.









We headed further around the coast looking for a beach that had some sand for Hannah to paddle in. After a wrong turn down a narrow street that was a dead end (Dan did some magnificent backing up a hill) we found this beach. It is Caswell Bay, and it was lovely. One local told us it was very busy ... there were probably around 40 people there. 




We also found a digger. This was quite a big deal because our delightful niece was about to have her 2nd birthday and it was digger/unicorn themed. No unicorns were seen driving it but we did get to see it go. 






An epic tournament of naughts and crosses also happened. Hannah bet me and then Dan tried to beat her. They clearly think like one another because it was deadlocked. Asher was off taking photos so did not participate. 








By this time we were all hungry, sunshine and walking does that to a person. So we headed back into the Mumbles area to a place near Oystermouth that had delicious plant-based food. We did have to walk along the prominade to get there. It was pretty glorious. It looks directly towards Swansea, but the town reminded us of St Heliers or Akaroa on steroids. You could easily imagine living there.

Before we left the beautiful city of Florence, we had one more place to visit. The Cathedral of the Basilica. So after packing up our gear, finding a place to leave our bags for the day, we headed through the already hot streets to stand in line. And the line was long, and it wasn't even opening time.  Once the doors opened the line moved quickly and in no time we were in the Cathedral. We weren't too sure what to expect, but clearly, they had spent most of the money and energy on designing the outside of the building. It was still very large and had some lovely features. The dome was particularly stunning. There was a whole mass happening in one corner, and you couldn't even hear it. Amazing how these old churches were designed to accommodate multiple things happening.   We discovered that the crypt was included in our pass, so we thought we would head down to discover it. Some of us were a bit nervous at first, however, we soon discovered it...

Packing up and trying to work out what to do with our gear is never that fun, however, our kind Air BnB host had allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment till we left at 4pm. This meant we could still tick off a couple of destinations without carrying 10kg or so on our backs.  Today's destinations were the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The bus ride was easy and the walk through the little Italian streets made it quite delightful. You can always tell you are getting close though by the increase in tourists. And then we were there.  The large fountain towering over us with ... no water.  What?  Isn't it a fountain.  Turns out the thing is being cleaned, so instead we got to see men giving it a bit of a water blast. Fun.  We did some googling and found out that it is the end of an aqueduct, the only one left functioning after the Barbarians destroyed the rest. (Barbarians!) It used to be in a slightly different pl...

Our only full day in Florence. We had a lot to fit in. The first thing was to try our luck at getting into the gallery where 'The David' is. The line was already massive so we paid a little extra and got into a guided tour.  We were glad. No big lines, no fussing over tickets, no audio guides. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the art and the artists. We also could go around the gallery once we were finished our tour. This piece was amazing. It was by Jean de Boulogne. It was actually the plaster cast, not the real thing. When artists created their works they created a plaster cast first then the actual statue. Usually, they get destroyed but Jean didn't because he liked it so much, he kept it for himself.  This is one of the prisoners. They were created by Michaelangelo (photographed below) and were supposed to be unfinished. They were stunning and we loved hearing about their background. m But the real ...
