So Ruby and I are the worst tourists ever. I mean we did the castle and what not on the first day but after that everything pretty much went to shit. Today we had to wake up earlier then we would have liked to given the time we went to bed last night but that's cause we had to check out of the host…

we went to Cardiff, went to the shops, and decided that we should have gone to Millenium Bay instead.  when I get around to that, I will be able to take a picture of the fab sign with a dalek on it, but it wasn't safe whilst I was driving! 

This is a wonderful city, but unfortunately most visitors miss it in their UK trip ...

The capital of Wales has its own personality being proud, strong, polite and hard-working. The jewel of the crown would be its famous Castle built since Roman Times as a fort, enforced by normans with a wall and enriched with a victorian palace by powerful family Bute. A worth and interesting destination for travellers.

Cardiff is the capital of Wales and situated in Southern Wales.  This is my first trip this year to start the New Year and it's a damn shame that I live and work in England for the past 3.5 years and I haven't been to Wales until now.  LOL!  Cardiff is about 1.5 hours …

Thankfully the worst part is over, all the tickets have arrived. Booking three trains seperately, I was a little worried that one set of tickets might have gone missing in the post or have the wrong booking time, but they all turned up one day after another. First Monday, super fast delivery of my …

november 2006, traveled to the uk on a whimsical invitation by a kiwi friend of mine to see the game we both love the most. met up in london where he was living, then drove to cardiff for the weekend to see the rugby game, wales vs. new zealand. didn't get to see the haka, but nz won, plus i met the welsh team and drank an obscene amount, though not compared to my kiwi friends - they are still champs when it comes to that! :-)

So in my leaving I'm trying to see all my relatives before I go, with little success. But I managed a quick trip to Wales to see my grandmas cousins, John & Ave who I'd stayed with in June. I left Lori's at 8am with her and made my way to Victoria Coach station. Sat around for an hour as …

Argh! After postponing the trip with Matrilla, the car failed the MOT, burning a little too much fuel to be allowed on the road. The car will now be handed to my trusted expert and Lotus specialist to get the emissions sorted as soon as he has time in his diary. With Matrilla talking of liquidising…

I'm sitting the office at Ty Hafan where I work, feeling stressed about all the things I need to finish off and dreaming about South America, where life is a beach and every day is about having fun and doing what I want to do.

Hannah, (hvwoolley) had a birthday on Aug 28th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a ph…

So here I am, just over two weeks before I am due to fly out, AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!!First, I'm going to a town/city called Vadodara (aka Baroda) in India to do a hospital placement so I'm praying that I'll get the weekends off to explore the local areas, maybe make it to the beach, to Rajasthan, and …

My journey to Peru was far less hassle than everyone, every book and the Foreign Office had warned. My 6am shuttle flight from Cardiff got into Amsterdam slightly early, giving me time to be urbane and impressive as I casually popped into one of the airport newsagents for a pile of newspapers on my…

I'd only ever stayed overnight in Cardiff once before and as it happened it was in the same hotel - although I had forgotten that fact.The journey down from Sheffield  is a long monotonous one broken up by a change at Bristol Parkway station.  That place really has to be amongst the worst…

    After a long week of tests and hard work, I was definitley ready for a relaxing weekend ecape. So this time, a bunch of friends and I shot on over to Wales for a couple of days. The people were mostly the same that I hung out with last weekend, and the plan this time was to see a…
