Sunday 7th August 2022
The trains weren’t running until later today so we got to Swansea at 11.30am. Quite a few of the roads are shut due to Iron Man taking place today. This is a triathlon event, where the swimming took place in the dock, the cycling around the Mumbles and the running along the sea front. We saw the first two female athletes cross the finish line, and it was great to see the support and crowd cheering everyone on! We arrived too late to watch the first male athlete win, but found out later that it was Alistair Brownlee who won.
After watching a bit more of the event, we headed to another cafe! I realise it sounds like our roadtrip has really just been a food trip - we have prioritised walks and other things as well!! I tried tofish for the first time, which was actually quite nice, Mum had satay noodles.
After our lunch, we decided to try and hire bikes. Swansea University have a bike rack for the Santander Cycles so we headed there. It was fairly easy to hire the bikes, and worth it! I struggled at first as its been a long time since I have last ridden a bike, but it soon came back. Swansea was the perfect place to hire them - very bike friendly and a beautiful sea view the entire way! We’d like to hire them again tomorrow!
Having done a lot of walking and cycling, we were so tired this evening.
