Cool Beans

Day Trip to Wales :)

Taylor and I arrive at Cardiff Central train station in WALES!

Full British Breakfast for 3 pounds - absolutely delicious (and cheap)!

Award-winning vegetarian sausage, baked beans, fried eggs, hash browns, roasted tomato, button mushroom, toast, and mocha :)

Posing with the tourist guide book in front of Millennium Stadium

Cardiff Castle - our first stop

Inside the wall!  There's a moat!

She made a new friend :)

The Dragon of Wales

Beautiful blue skies.  We had gorgeous weather!

This used to be a wall

We're in Wales!

Going up

Original graffiti found in the bunker

This used to be a toilet - leading directly into the moat below

Through a spider web

View from the top of the gorgeous countryside

Then we went inside the living quarters:

Yes, that's a ceiling!

Depiction of a fairytale

Very unique cupcakes

St. John the Baptist Cathedral

Delicious salted caramel cupcake!

Beautiful colors of fall!

War memorial

Back side of the castle

It's like the picture I found on google before leaving!  But I took this one myself :)  

Cardiff is gorgeous!

Brains Brewery

We walked along the River Avon to get to the bay

The Beautiful Cardiff Bay

National Assembly

Delicious dinner!

Homemade roasted vegetable lasagna (with butternut squash!), salad, garlic bread, and locally brewed Brains Gold beer.  Perfection :)

Finished off with a wonderful oreo sundae!

Where we ate dinner.  Right on the water:

The Bay at sunset

Walking back to the bus station at night.  I love the color of this stone.

Taylor and I had an absolutely perfect day of travel in Wales on Saturday!  We did lots of walking, viewing, and laughing around Cardiff.  We had wonderful weather and wonderful food.  The train was smooth and easy.  Couldn't have asked for a better day trip or a better travel partner :)

Cardiff is gorgeous!  And the people are SO nice.  Seriously.

(Explanation of the title just in case you were curious: Taylor and I say "Cool Beans" all the time, we had beans for breakfast, in the guidebook Cardiff was listed as "Cool Cardiff".)

The end.  Cheerio!
