29 February, Sunday: We got a late start for Southern Wales, but I was excited about going somewhere new. We worked a lot on the drive, and when we finished I got to enjoy the view.
We went over this huge suspension bridge that spanned the Severn Estuary. It was a toll bridge and cost 4 pounds 60. Between us we only had 4 pounds 29. How embarrassing. And luckily the toll booth operator took pity on us. We were driving a very expensive SUV and must have appeared to be real dopes to not have any money. We both laughed.
Swansea itself is a mixture of pretty and pretty ugly. The city sits on the sea and has an absolutely gorgeous beach and a huge lovely bay. I thought it was lovely. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Swansea, a not very nice hotel. Surprising, since most Holiday Inns are fairly decent.
I watched a little TV and that was it.
