To the lighthouse... and beyond!

We all like to be beside the seaside, right?  Well it took our convoy a while to get there, by a range of routes, but before we all knew it we had enjoyed a Swansea ice cream or two and were parked up in the ferry departure terminal, waiting to roll on.  Roll on we did, and headed for the deck to enjoy the magnificent spectacle of the Gower sliding by, complete with the Worm's Head glowing in the sunset.  We all thought that we should go back and walk that one day (and we did, even if it took us a few years).

'Not shouty, this photo - it Mumbles
The Polish crew of the Swansea-Cork ferry ran an interesting onboard restaurant in which we enjoyed overpriced but edible pizza washed down with a 'snipe' of wine each - the entire party were baffled by this terminology, although subsequent exhaustive research suggests that it may have been a thesaurus-related collision with a 'shot'.  To sleep, surprisingly restfully, in our cabins below.
