Cardiff Castle

Breakfast at The Bristol was one of the best we’ve ever had. Trays of berry smoothies, perfect poached eggs, their own granola. Yummo. And a view right out across the quay.

Off to Wales. Lots of traffic on the motorway towards the new Severn Bridge but it eventually cleared. Al had forgotten to get his printed directions to Caerleon …

Musical Room Hoping

Having a weekend holiday in Wales. Decided to use some of our hotel points and have a free weekend at the Hilton in Cardiff. We had hoped to take the Doctor Who tour over here but they aren't running it again until Feb. We did walk around the town after getting here and found quite a nice big shopping area, some cool …

Entry containing 2 photos titled: Cardiff Castle

Upon arrival in Cardiff, we made a beeline to Working Street, to see if we could find any trace of Noah Rees and Griffin, but unfortunately this is a very built-up modern street, so we took some photos of the street signs at either end (so you will know we were really there!), and we also captured a photo of the shop on Working Street where Dave …

So originally I was just lookin for a couple day stop between warrington and London for a couple of nights. I decided to visit wales. I was interested in experiencing the welsh culture and wanted to visit this small country of great Britain. Here was my opportunity! I chose to Go to the capital of wales, Cardiff. After some research I found that it …

It's such an amazing feeling to know that you accomplished something that you wanted to accomplish before your time in this world is up. I don't have a huge bucket list, but being at the Olympics was definitely on there. As a kid growing up doing gymnastics, it was my dream to compete in the Olympics one day. Of course when it became more of a …

"The red dragon will lead the way" is the motto of Cardiff and everywhere you go you see depictions of said red dragon!

Our day stated very early with me waking at 2am and Megan joining me around 4:30am. Really brain, did you forget I am on holiday? Anyway I took the time to review all the photos from the previous day and write my blog. < …

I imagine my last post received quite a few blank stares. So for those of you who have no idea what I was on about.. an account of our travels to the capital of Wales that is more of this time and space.

Though, come to think of it.. there was quite some time traveling involved..

Of course, our journey towards Cardiff started with …

Thank you megabus for your crazy cheap fares, we finally made the effort to get to Cardiff (for about £5!) its only about two hours out of London! Even though its right next door it took me almost a year and a half to make it across to Wales, meaning ...

... seen in a very very long time. The best part was it was only 11:00 AM in the morning. Beyond this Cardiff has only two true sights. One is a castle, which we didn't go to, as we were a little castled out. The second was the bay, which was ...
