Swansea

Cemetary en route

Took a trip up the east coast, making a number of stops along the way.  Spent the night in Swansea, which is a pretty town with several problems that may or may not be there to stay.

The first issue is rotting seaweed, which has produced a sickening stench that apparently is much worse this year relative to others.  The second problem is that it hasn't rained here in four years, so the water supply has become stagnant and unfit to drink (or wash your hands or shower).

Oh yeah, don't stay at Swansea Holiday Park (if you come to Swansea at all).  Our caravan compartment was poorly laid out, had beds that did not  accommodate my ordinary 5"11 frame, and it was overpriced.  Plus the proprietor bitched at us for driving on the grass!
