Well, actually I went to visit my friend Charline in Cardiff for a weekend. She is staying in a fantastic flat in Cardiff Bay (like the Waterfront), as was keen for me to move in. It was great to see her, but I think I must give London a chance first though.
Did you know Cardiff Bay has the second highest tide fluctuation in the world (after some place in Nova Scotia), so they have an advanced barrage system to keep the tides regular.
Highlights of the trip were:
- The lovely view over the bay
- Caching in the rain
- A delightful visit to the quaint town of Cowbridge
- Trying to pump gas, and nearly driving away with the pump in the car
- Getting completely lost at night thanks to all the roundabouts
- Charline's crazy kitty
- Charline's crazy welsh friends down the pub
- Cardiff Castle (well, it was OK)

There are some interesting rocks on the Glamorgan coast, like this pinkish one. I beleive it's called a radyr stone.
This is the Norwegian church that Roald Dahl was born in.
Interesting art piece
Ex-church, now something to do with parliament
