Cardiff was an underrated tourist destination, and we preferred it this way. Tourists were at a minimum so the city felt like it was for locals only.
The red dragon was everywhere, even on top of the city hall. That was so awesome! Sorry no photo because there was no way I could take a good one.
We went from Bath to Cardiff. Because of construction, the train went by Swindon. It took double the time and distance.

Cardiff Castle: what a dominant presence with a red dragon flag. I learned so much history here. When we were there, they were setting up a music festival. How cool was that, attending a music festival inside a medieval castle.

We really liked the shopping arcades. That was smart city planning. It was raining when we were in Cardiff; we were able to run from arcades to arcades without getting too wet.

National Museum Cardiff: what a great museum. Nobody was here! Dinosaurs, Rodin, Monet, Picasso, oh my! Beautiful inside and out. And FREE!
