On the third day, we went to different beaches to investigate the effect of longshore drift and to evaluate the usefulness of the coastal defences. Which means measuring beach profiles, doing both the qualitative and quantitative measurements of the pebbles and rocks. We went to Saundersfoot first to carry out the fieldwork. At lunch time, we had a nice little walk around the town.
Saundersfoot Bay! The magic of iPhone panorama haha.
Aren't the colourful houses so adorable? Haha. And oh the fact that the red mail box was out of focus (I shot with a small aperture and focused on the houses instead) is really bothering me so muchhh.
My friend and I shared a packet of Nuggets & Chips. They were really yummy and really oily. But hey, who cares about healthy diet or not when you're travelling! And yes, I didn't get Fish & Chips because I'm not really a big fan of fried fish filet haha.
We then continued our journey to the town Amroth, which was hit by a huge storm years ago. (If I remembered correctly on the information sheet) By the time it was in the afternoon and I was literally burning in my long-sleeve shirt.
Pebbles! But they were actually placed here by man to prevent erosion of the beach...not natural at all :(
I got bored.
These wooden structures slows down the erosion brought about by longshore drift :) I was quite excited to see them (weird, I know.) because you'll never find these in Singapore haha.
And that was basically Day 3 in Wales. After returning to the Field Studies Centre, I had my daily dosage of nature photo taking. Here are just some of them :)
Dandelionnnnnn.
Oh and one thing my friends and I do a lot in the late afternoon during our break time is to sit at the benches that are in front of the main house. And we'll just take out whatever food we had and share the food. It was sort of like a picnic, and Juliana and I would dance around (post-concert syndrome). We would also take photos, or simply just laze around and soak in the sun (it was getting chiller in the late afternoon hahaha) I miss those times so terribly :(
And yeah, this is the end of this relatively short post. Have a nice day everyone!

P.S. I think I'm the only person who blogs about her trip 6 months later.
