First, our weekend started off Friday at noon. The entire group of FIE students gathered at Foundation House where we got a short talking to about being responsible and careful, and then we made our way to Paddington Station through the tube.
The six hour ride consisted of farms..
and more farms.
After that we took a combined six hour train right, with a connecting train during hour three. Finally we were in Wales and hopped on a bus for another 20 minutes through a maze of twisted roads, but we arrived relatively quickly and were welcomed with homemade veggie lasagna so it didn't seem so bad. Since we had been traveling all day we relaxed for the night and got to know students from other schools.
The Drexel group was split into three groups so that we all weren't doing the same activities together. The group I was with went hiking first.
First activity of the day, hiking along the Welsh coast.
One very helpful sign along the way.
Almost the entire hike was along coast like this, there were cliffs to our left and sheep to our right. Of course there was a fence to keep the sheep in, but no fence to keep up from falling down the cliffs.
A long way down...
The hike was fun, although there were a few times when I should have been paying attention to where my feet were going instead of the view. Lets just say my sneakers are show signs of a few trips and falls.
We also had the fun experience of accidentally trapping a sheep in between a fence, a gate, and cliffs. As a group it was decided that he had a death wish since he escaped by running on the very edges of the cliffs.
And finally the rocky "beach" that we were told was at the end of the hike.
And in the afternoon, coast-steering!
