More of South Wales in Mumbles

Here are a few more pictures of our first evening in Wales. This is just across the road from where we stayed. The Bay is big and it has one of the biggest tides in the world. The tide here is coming in but has a ways to go.

This is looking to the West as the sun was setting. Lots of people were fishing.
We walked past the large pier that is shown in the 2nd picture and walked down a long flight of steps to this rocky beach. In another hour it will be covered with water. When the tide is out, you can walk across to the large rock in the distance. We walked up a large rock face and looked over the top where the waves were crashing onto the rocks. Oh yeah we found out that Catherine Zeta Jones grew up in Swansea, the town just to the North of Mumbles. Her picture was in the local paper. She had come home to attend her Nana's funeral. Here I am walking back down the rock wall. All of the beach area in front of me will be covered with water in an hours time. You can see the water line on the wall behind the people.
