Hi everyone.
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PHOTOS. Click on the link at right.
We arrived in Cardiff on Tuesday. Getting out of London and finding our accommodation wasn't particularly easy, but we are settling in quite nicely, now.
Cardiff has a high-tech, modern water-side area with ultra-slick architecture and urban design and an historic city centre a few kms away complete with medieval castle. There's lots of building still going on, transforming the city.
There seems to be an endless list of child-thrilling attractions - most within 2 or 3 km from the apartment. Yesterday Cardiff International Pool waterslides and today Techniquest Science Museum. We have stocked up on books and audio stories from the local library.
The apartment is not large, but it has the most beautiful view across the bay to a place called Penarth. And the sounds of gulls are relaxing. There are sailing boats that go out each evening. We watch them during the long twilight. Still quite light at 8pm.
We've heard that the weekend we were to go to Cornwall is Bank Holiday weekend and we've been told the roads can get quite clogged leading to huge travelling times. We are considering postponing the Cornwall trip and heading North instead.
More later.....
