A Short Break to Cardiff

Another time I'm away from Bournemouth...this time my destination is Cardiff...

Taking a train from Bournemouth is just 3-4hours approximately
I woke up in the early morning to find out one of my flatmates was ready to go
while my mom just woke up not too long before I did.
We planned to leave around 6.15 but finally we're late so we took a taxi instead.

The city was nice in its way, not many people like in other cities. I believe this is because it is not a weekend or a holiday. So, the city belongs to the locals...

We've visited MIllenium Stadium...one of the most popular attractions of Cardiff...
walking around trying to find the main entrance...but...where is it?

We moved onto the castle...Cardiff Castle...where I have no idea about its story
the castle is nice in a way..but what is interesting to me is its prison
where someone from a royal family had been jailed...I even cannot remember who he was

the story seems to be interesting to me...

After leaving the castle, I walked around the city with my mom & my friend
having had our lunch near a church in the city centre...
then we walked through a local market...where attracts me the most...
I can feel the life of the locals here

one that I found it is very nice to try...Welsh cake...
I assume it should be eaten with tea or coffee in the morning or afternoon
but I cannot drink both tea or coffee so I had some with drinking water instead!
the taste is nice..very nice..
it is like a normal cake but I don't know how to describe...
it is just nice to try!

the day almost finished...
after a long around the city, we found this is a huge shopping centre
where we should come when it is a sale season!
we dropped by several shops & decided to take a train back to our town

exhausted...
