I know, I know, I suck
yeah, whatever
Anyway, I'm in Cardiff. Finally, at last (possibly reason two while I came over here - #1 being the West End. My priorities, they need work). All things considered equal...
I think a city that has FREAKIN' DRAGONS all over it is pretty much the place I've been looking for all my life. And it turns out you can buy soft toy dragons. My life is over. I die happy.
A bit of drama getting here. And when I say 'a bit', I do mean a bit. I was meant to leave London Victoria at 9:30am, but the bus broke down (or something), so they transported us to Heathrow where we had to wait 45mins for nothing. There was meant to be another bus load of people joining us that didn't. It was annoying, but not too bad. ESp as the delay actually meant that I arrived on time to check into my hotel rather than having to wader the streets of cardiff with my suitcase in tow.
Anyway, checked it and then went wandering, had lunch and bought a guide book and a map. And another book. I really shouldn't be allowed to wander in book shops unattended. It's lucky that's all I walked away with.
I took a tour bus around the city - one of those open air ones, and I was quite lucky because it's been raining off and on all day but it didn't rain while I was on the bus. Took some pictures which I will upload at some point that is hopefully faster than the pictures from...well, all the pictures I've taken so far.
And that's pretty much it. Don't know what I want to do tomorrow, it'll depend on what the weather says.
