Cardiff Weekend

Nath and I traveled to Cardiff where we had a fun weekend in the Welsh capital.  After checking in to our BandB we walked straight to Cardiff Castle, stopping to look at Millennium Stadium along the way.  It's central location within the city is very impressive and yet it is still easy to get too.  Would be awesome to watch the All Blacks play there one day.
The Castle was OK by Castle standards.  Not overly impressive, but not totally drab either.  We spent a couple of hours exploring, climbing up the tower, checking out the castle apartments and walking the fortress walls.

After that we met up with Laura, Boz and Anna to take a bus to Cardiff Bay.  This area wasn't too great. There was a habour with some franchise cafes and restaurants.  Our biggest disappointment was not being able to find a pub with sky TV so that we could watch the All Blacks game against Italy.
We headed back to our BandB in order to get ready for Emma's 30th party - the reason we were in Cardiff in the first place! At the party we caught up with Liz and Tim (who we last saw at Oktoberfest) and they announced they were pregnant.  Had a fun time dancing to 90's music at a club before heading to bed.

After a sturdy Welsh Breakfast Nath and I headed back to London.  We figured we wanted to spend an afternoon at home after being away for the previous two weekends.
