The temperature dropped quite a bit too and the wind was blowing making it particularly unpleasant out there.<\/p>\n<p>We did manage to do a few things, swimming, windsurfing, museums, Techniquest, crazy golf etc.\u00a0 which I shall post about later. We were going to go to Dan yr Ogof caves and dinosaur park today but thought better of it thanks to the weather and just headed home instead.<\/p>\n<p>I then got soaked again unloading the car and guess what? As soon as we were unloaded, the rain stopped and now that we are home the sun is shining and there is barely a cloud in the sky!<\/p>\n<p>So, I can only apologise for the recent weather.
