Sleeperz Hotel Cardiff

Well 7 weeks to GO!!!!


June is still busy buying clothes can't keep her out the shops. We are busy trying to set up all the systems we need in place and staff what they need to do in our absence.

Great finding so many people interested in what we will be doing and where we are travelling to.

Just want to get Junes problem sorted at the hospital they are messing us about. Got heavy with them today.

Watch out for the next update.

What an arrival

Having board the easy jet flight we were told that the wind was blowing at 50 MPH in bristol well whats new its bristol we arrive 15 minuites late after a pretty bumpy decent but smooth landing at Bristol airport

Welcome to wind and rain as the door open follow by a gale blowing accross the runway

... and then going back to bed (tis alright for some). So after a spot of breakfast Dawn took me to the airport and my adventures begun.
In the airport I found my way to the baggage check-in, and guess what? I was the only one there. So I obviously could have stayed another half hour in bed, but the good think was that there was long line to wait in. Once my suitcase was gone I had to head off for customs. Here practically every thing has to come off including your belt and shoes, and put ...

Am flying to Gran canaria today :-D cant wait to go and just making sure i have the last few things..

I went to Bridgwater carnival last night which was brilliant watching
all the floats but made sure was back early to get some sleep.



My flight is at 1:30pm and i arrive at 5:30pm the plan once im there is
to get a bus to our hotel, Josh wants to get a ...

... is still in a ruinous state which allows you to use your imagination really well. We wandered around Cardiff city centre had a look at the exterior of the Cardiff Castle and the sports stadium as well as trying Welsh cakes at the local market. The Welsh cakes became a staple for the rest of our time in Wales. They are really delicious little flat pancake type cakes full of sultanas and coated in sugar.

We headed to Swansea next and were a little disappointed that there ...

... a half hours until we got picked up. It was odd because there was no workers there, no signs from the train company and five minutes after we got to Fishguard, the only communication we got was from the police, and we had to try and figure out ourselves how we were going to get anywhere. But it all worked itself out - and the taxi shuttle was paid for by the rail company and ...

... bad because the part of town we were staying in was one of the roughest in the whole city. This second point was realised when we showed up to the hotel called the Blue Dragon (it even sounds dodgey) in the area called Roath. The final piece of this disaster fell into place when we found at reception that we had only been booked in for one night and not the three we had originally organised and there was no other room for us. At this point in time I had lost all patience ...

So I spent the week in wales. At Cardiff, to be specific. I've photos of a 12th century castle keep, a promenade production of Alice through the Looking glass (which involved actually walking all about downtown Cardiff, following a troup of actors and musicians...very cool experience), and the most beautiful ...

... later I am writing about my experience. Before I do though, a little disclaimer! Throughout the whole time I kept a diary and that is what I am using to write this. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I will try as much as possible to keep to what happened there and then. Also, if what I write is inaccurate in any way, I am sorry. Equally if anyone gets upset over something I say, just let me know, its wont be intentional. Other than that....enjoy!!!!! Love Anna xxx

... doing a tour of the interior and wandering its grounds. Castles have to be one of my favourite things about Europe. Grand, ornate cathedrals don’t do it for me, old Roman ruins don’t usually do it for me, but exploring around grey, crumbling stone turrets and walls set behind a wide moat never feels to arouse my interest. So on leaving Cardiff we very soon stopped at the nearby town of Caerphilly ...
