Trip To Cardiff

Well the winner of the tourism sweepstakes was a trip to Cardiff. I wanted to be where the action was and with 80,000 fans descending on the Millenium Stadium for the Wales vs. New Zealand rugby match Cardiff was where the action was.

I got up early in the morning (6 AM) but mom and dad were still sleeping so I pretended I was going to snuggle with them in their bed but when they brought me to their bed I bounced all over the bed until they got up.

Then I went to the train station and got on a train. I got to ride for free but my mom and dad needed to pay. Because the game started in the early afternoon the train was full of rugby hooligans. Many of them could hardly stand (in fact one was passed out on two seats) and they were drinking something out of what looked like pop cans. Below is a picture of me staring at the rugby hooligans. I wanted to join them but dad made me stay in my seat. Party pooper.



After we arrived in Cardiff we walked to the city center where mom and dad went to a place called Starbucks. Then we went to Castle Caerdydd, which is a castle that is nearly 2000 years old that was even used by the Romans. Below is a picture of me describing how I would of laid siege to the fortress and keep.



After going the castle we went into Cardiff for lunch. Because of the weather Cardiff has built roofs over the alley ways. These alley ways have shops and restaurants built into the buildings and the cover allows a great outdoor/indoor shopping experience no matter what the weather is like. This came in handy because, like it has for the past week, it rained.



I think I'll take my family to Cardiff when they come visit me.
