Cardiff Bay and other stuff

The bus in Cardiff is very good.  £1.80 one way or £3.60 all day hop-on hop-off.  And Cardiff offers free Wifi all over the city!

Cardiff Bay would have been better had it not been raining but who knows when I’ll be here again?

The Pierhead Building was once home to the Cardiff Railroad Company and is now associated with the National Assembly next door.

The BBC films Dr. Who here and for true diehards there is a Dr. Who Experience for £17.  I’m not that big a fan.

Beware the Weeping Angels.  One of the Doctor’s more terrifying enemies.

Gabion walls are seen everywhere as both retaining walls keeping land spill off railways and motorways and as simply walls.  Strong metal grid  2mx3m boxes filled with stone  and clipped together, their sheer weight allows them to be quite high sometimes. This one aound 20ft/ 6.1m

The  Millenium stadium along side the river Taff.  Taff is slang for someone from Cardiff, although not in a bad way.

And lunch at The Goat Major with lamb pie, the lightest of pastery topping, fries, peas and a Brain’s Dark for £7.50! finished this day’s wander.
