C a r d i f f

Our holiday took us from Manchester, England to many places in Wales, where we visited several castles. Today, we arrived at Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. For the first time, I was looking forward to seeing concrete jungle.
 Well, not exactly concrete jungle but at least modern and crowd infested buildings.
Pierhead Building at Cardiff Bay dates back to 1897. It is now a major landmark ,with its distinctive red-brown stone, clock tower and turrets
 The clock tower here is unofficially known as the Big Ben of Wales
 Nice sunny day to be out at Tenby beach, but where is the water?
 Another part of Tenby. It is a beautiful town with many quaint and eclectic shops.
 The Mumbles. Don't ask me how the name came. I have absolutely no idea. Perhaps they are soft spoken folks there.

From here, we crossed back to England via the Severn Bridge over the Bristol Channel. Our next destination is Bath, another World Heritage site known for its hot springs.

And another travel trip awaiting....
