My one full day in Cardiff was spent at Cardiff Bay, which has a fascinating history. It was developed as docklands--supplying iron and coal from South Wales to the rest of Great Britain and theもっと詳しく

This was the final day of performances of the play based on Neil Gaiman's book "The Ocean At The End Of The Lane." I attended the matinee and arrived in the theatre quite early. It is an absolutelyもっと詳しく

The performance was delayed by "a technical problem." It sounded like a bird had gotten into the theatre and was up in the acoustic baffles! TBH, I found the play itself very hard going and the giant puppet Thing was terrifying. As intended, of course.

I had two reasons to go to Cardiff for the weekend. One was that I'd been watching a Welsh TV series set in the parliament there and it is such an amazing building. And the other was that a Neilもっと詳しく

To get to Paddington, I took the Tube to Earl's Court. Loved this ad in the train carriage. I was supposed to change at Earl's Court, but as I stepped off the train an announcement came over the station's PA system saying that everyone had to evacuate the station because of "an emergency." I stepped back into the train and continued a couple more stops to transfer to the Circle Line.

I had tried to buy my ticket online a few days before, but there was a strike planned for June 2 and 3, so they weren't accepting online reservations. Instead, I bought it in the Great Western Railway ticket office on the platform at Paddington Station. The station is huge and apparently has a statue of Paddington Bear, but I didn't have time to look around. Really nice modern train! The strike reduced the number of trains running and meant there was no refreshment service on the train but, other than that, I think everything was the same as usual.

Once we got into Wales, signage was in two languages with Welsh being the predominant one.

Today was a ‘people’ day.
Birmingham does not appear in any of the guide books under the title ‘Places of Natural Beauty’ as do some of the locations we have visited.

📌 We had both planned the weekend off to go and see the wombats on their home soil and they were down in Cardiff. Chloe made her way to Neath and we headed off to explore Cardiff for the afternoon.もっと詳しく

Tout compte fait, le patron du camping nous a trouvé une place pour une nuit de plus. On en a profité pour faire notre lessive. L’après-midi on est allé faire un tour à vélo jusqu’à la Marina.

The Pierhead, Millennium Centre in the distance, and the glass-enclosed Senedd Cymru. The sculpture is the Merchant Seaman's Memorial, made using the traditional shipbuilding method of riveting metal plates together. Not seen from this angle is the bottom of the hull, which is shaped like a sleeping face. It commemorates local merchant seamen lost during times of war.

In the late 19th century and early to mid-20th, the area was known as Tiger Bay. Post-WWII, the demand for coal and steel faded and the area fell into disrepair. From the '90s onward, much of it was redeveloped into a tourist destination called Mermaid Quay.

View of Cardiff Bay from the little cafe in the Mermaid Quay area where I had breakfast. The bay is actually fresh water because a barrage was built prior to redevelopment and it formed an estuary for the two rivers that flow out to sea here.
