The recent series of Dr Who was filmed in Cardiff and memorabilia is everywhere. We visited the Dr Who exhibition this afternoon...not a lot of information, but lots of special effects. Tom has decided he wants to be the person who finally answers the question about whether there are living beings on other planets. Hamish keeps calling the Daleks "garlics".
Later in the afternoon, we drove across to Penarth. After looking across at the town with its gracious architecture for so many days, we needed to satisfy our curiosity. We walked along the pier and part of the "beach". Hamish shouted "rocks" in surprise when he caught his first glimpse of the beach. We found a great pub serving the traditional Welsh cawl, a tasty stew. It was cheap and very yummy. They also had a selection of health conscious menu selections for the children.
I've been surprised at the availability of good food options...I was ready for stodge, but we have been enjoying some great food - not always cheap, but plenty of really healthy options and very good nutrition labelling systems.
Today was the first overcast day we've had in Wales. The cloud cover made it quite warm. I was beginning to think the stories of rainy Wales were a complete fabrication as we'd had nothing but sunshine since arriving.
