take note of interesting places and share, please? We'll be in Cardiff in less than a month :)

I am actually bringing a travel journal, so notes will be taken! :)

Have fun sweetie. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Be safe. Try to get to the Sherlock Museum if you can.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Pfft! Now what does that leave?!

mallyns August 22 2011, 21:27:41 UTC

Lots of things, if you are creative. :)

If a guy in a blue box shows up make sure you come and pick me up.

Have lots of fun, luckily most of the galleries and exhibits are open in Cardiff National Museum now as they've done lots of fab upgrades recently.

Thanks - I'm really looking forward to seeing the galleries - there looks to be a ton of great stuff around. :)

Plus the museum has been used as a set for Dr Who so much over the last few years - it's fun to recognise bits of it from tv.

Have a great time hon! I can recommend some good places to eat in Cardiff if you're interested.

Do wave hello to the Rosetta Stone for me, it's been to long since I've been to the BM *sigh*

Thank you - if you get this anytime soonish, please rec away!

I will wave away to the poor old Rosetta, and maybe offer a casual hi to the stolen Elgin Marble. ;)

They're mostly Asian - there's a Yo!Sushi in St David's food hall, and a takeaway called HotWok on... I think it's Carlisle St it's called, near the Castle. There's quite a few decent takeaway places along that street actually. There's a few nice cafes in St Davids centre, nearer the market entrance and one in the market too. Personally I like to just buy some fresh bread and bits from the market and take a picnic somewhere :)

If you can get a table there's Jamie Oliver's place and there's the usual Wagamama, Pret a Manger etc that you find in most big cities.

I love the Chinese buffet at Mermaid Quay... damn, can't remember the name for the life of me, but it's good, and cheap, all you can eat chinese, japanese and other asian cusine.

Um, that's about it really, no hidden gems I'm afraid!
