Day 4 – Waterfalls & Wet Clothes

Today greeted us with the familiar patter of rain on the roof—and it didn’t let up. From morning till late in the day, Wales welcomed us in the most authentic way possible: with relentless rain.

As we made our way toward the Gower Peninsula, we decided to make the best of the soggy conditions by visiting a few waterfalls en route. It sounded romantic at first—rushing water in misty green glens—but the reality was more “thoroughly soaked explorers” than postcard scene. Awen and Nessy, of course, couldn’t have cared less. Rain or shine, water is always fun in their book. Us humans, on the other hand… well, let’s just say we were glad to find shelter and warm up with some local comfort food—simple, hearty, and perfect for chasing away the chill.

By the time we arrived at our base for the next few days—a lovely stay in Landimore, tucked into the quiet beauty of the Gower Peninsula—we were ready for a change of pace. A hot bath, dry clothes, and the feeling of being properly indoors never felt so good.

And then… as if to reward our perseverance, the clouds finally broke in the evening. We headed out for a gentle walk across the salt marshes, golden light peeking through the grey. The landscape here is wide, open, and calming. We watched wild ponies grazing, their silhouettes moving slowly across the horizon, a perfect reminder that nature doesn’t mind a little rain. Neither do we, once it finally stops.Les mer
