Rhossili Bay, Wales (Gower Penninsula)


On the weekend of November 15 and 16, while friends and family at home were experiencing an early snow fall in Canada, we were headed to the beach!  And not just any old beach.  This is probably one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to.  Rhossili Bay which is situated at the end of the Gower Penninsula in Wales was voted Britain's Best Beach in 2010!

On the Friday night, we headed to Cardiff, Wales where our friends Kara and Zac are living.  Although my only photos on this post are of the Gower Penninsula, we spent the rest of our weekend in Cardiff, catching up with Kara and Zac.  We had such a good time (though we continually confused both Zack's by not specifying which one we were speaking to... sorry guys) and are planning to head back there again sometime in the new year!  

On Saturday we were given a beautiful day to take a drive out to the Gower.  Though the wind did pick up quite a bit, the sunshine was perfect.  We explored the cliffs and gazed out to what is called "Worm's head" at the very end of the penninsula.  After a decent hike, we were able to eat a late lunch on the beach, and watched the sunset as we sipped some hot tea.  Perfect day.
