Sheep and Waterfalls in Brecon Beacons
This is going to be a short post, consisting mainly from pictures.
I'll spare you more seashores and castles and skip to the Brecon Beacons National Park. One of the things we really missed and wanted to do was to walk in a forest. Not a KKL carefully measured with a ruler planted forest, but a natural one. The Brecon Beacons gave us such chance. Besides the usual forest stuff there are some beautiful waterfalls:
There were also thousands of bluebells:
On the park territory there are a lot of private areas, where sheep are raised. Those areas are surrounded with fences, some of them have doors and passages of different anti-sheep designs and you can pass freely between them. This is one of the passages. You have to climb over it to pass, but there are some steps there to help you:
And we could only guess what kind of services this company provides:

No Whales in Wales
Actually there are some whales in Wales, but we didn't see them.
I feel that I owe this blog a report about our visit to UK, so here is the first part.
As every time we go to UK (second), we had a little transportation adventure: our flight to London was delayed and we almost missed our train to Swansea. Swansea is a city on the South Wales coast, where my cousin lives. In fact, the main purpose of our visit was to attend his wedding, but of course this was only one day. On the rest of the days we traveled around.
We started from the Swansea area. The city itself has nothing much to see, but the Swansea bay is a nice place:
Some invisible worms produce those little sand piles on the seashore.
There are a lot of castles in the area, this is Weobley Castle:
Rhossili Bay is also a nice place:
There is even an old shipwreck there, "Helvetia" shipwreck:
So, as you can see, the first part was mainly walking and views (also some nice pubs on the way ;) This is why I'm mostly posting pictures with only few words.
