Another day bursting with sunshine, and a slight breeze. No walking in circles today, we have a plan to explore the Taft Trail to Cardiff Harbour.
First up street art along the river. We find these interesting with meaning, some of which we’ll never completely understand but enjoy the artistry.
The Cardiff Arms rugby stadium built in the 90’s holds 75,000 fans and is rocking during matches. Today it’s quiet and the walking path goes all around it.
More street art across the river
They drive on the left in the UK so we’ve tried to stay left. Often we’re moved to the right with oncoming traffic and we’re very confused which side is correct???? We just don’t want to get run over by speeding bikes…
But first a morning coffee too early for a pint
Mermaid Quay with restaurants and shops galore.
The parliament building
And later there were nurses peacefully protesting for better wages and working conditions
The iconic Norwegian Church Arts Centre is one of the capital city’s landmark buildings, situated in the heart of Cardiff Bay – with glorious, panoramic views over the waterfront. Formerly a Church for Norwegian Sailors, the unique building dates back to the industrial revolution, when Cardiff’s Docks were the greatest exporter of coal globally
Built in 1868, the venue provided a base for Norwegian seafarers.
With a tribute to the Scott Scientific Expedition that departed from Cardiff to Antarctica in 1910-13
Graduation day with happy families celebrating 🙌
Instead of walking back to the city center I spy a perfect ride that will drop us at the Cardiff Castle
Right at Bute Park with the Cardiff Castle
Cardiff Castle began as a Roman fort, guarding an important route into Wales. In the Middle Ages, Norman lords built the stone walls and keep that still dominate the skyline today. In the 19th century, the castle was transformed once again — this time into a spectacular Victorian residence, rich in symbolism, colour and craftsmanship.
Unlike many historic castles, Cardiff Castle is not hidden away in the countryside. Its central location in the city center. Conveniently across from our Airbnb 💥
My lil 🐻 buddy again
Another perfect day to explore Cardiff
Tomorrow we’re off to Tenby a must not miss seaside treasure in southwest Wales…
