Got back from Cardiff last night – honestly 4 hours by bus feels incredibly long and short compared to Paris and Amsterdam. The hostel was in pretty much the best location it could have been: right in the center. It gave us a great base where we could relax after visiting the things we wanted to (the farthest was the bay, a nice and sunny 25 minute walk), but it also taught us Wales knows how to have a good time. People would be out at the pub early and back late. A grand ole time – unless of course you are trying to get to sleep early enough so that wasn’t always pleasant, but when you travel you should always experience the culture.
Everything was in bloom and beautiful – I don’t think I’ve seen so many variation of tulips in one area in my life!
Leaving for Cologne, Germany tomorrow evening, so you won’t hear from me until I’m back on Friday — or Saturday when I recover from the 12 hour return bus ride.
