Cardiff, Wales

Wales for a second time and already a better trip. Perhaps it's the company, having spent time with my cousin and a few friends. The drive to visit my cousin in Wales was approximatley two hours and 15 mins which is about how long it used to take to visit her on the farm in good ol' PeeA!

 We booked in at the St. Mellon's Hotel & Spa in Castleton just ten minutes outside Cardiff where my cousin was staying. This place was cool. Verra posh table settings for breakfast and we even got to use the Spa. It has a pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna room (I'll let you guys sort out which is which).

 We toured Cardiff Castle (Normans Keep). Took silly pictures at The Animal Wall. Strolled through the nearby park which had a circle of stones- like a baby Stonehenge :)

We met my cousin for dinner at The Crispy Duck- a Cantonese resturant--- VERY GOOD! And chatted away. The next day we toured Llandaff Cathedral  which stands on one of the oldest Christian sites in Britain, with the present building dating back to 1107!!!

We then drove to Cardiff Bay to see Mermaid Quay (pronounced "key") but you feel free to run around calling it "kuway" like I did just to be an annoying tourist. The key has lots to offer from concerts to shopping, dining to boat quay tours, even a wetlands trail to admire wildlife. So get out there and explore or as they say in Wales, "Ewch yn anturus!"
