went to Cardiff, Wales last wkend with the stevenage gang. We took the National Express bus service there.. 4hrs bus ride from London!! - BIG BIG mistake. gg there was alrite, but the trip back was soooooooo horrendous that we all declared we would never ever take National Express again. Imagine being stuck in a stuffy (no windows) bus filled with people, breathing in purid air for 4-5hrs.. the entire bus just stunk of urine! arghhhh.. the journey was so so painful.
anyways, that aside.. Cardiff was.. alright. loads of drunk party go-ers yelling & gg ard hugging ppl on the streets. it's pretty boring reli.. apart from the cheap (& awesome) food & shopping =)
Welsh Cakes - dainty lil pancake-like stuff with raisins & dusted icing sugar.
our favourite bakery stall in the market!! everything was so cheap we went mad & bought tons..
we bought the day hopper bus ticket & ventured off to the neighbouring lil towns..
Cosmeston Lake - we got conned! it was supposed to be reli huge & pretty. but it turned out to be just a puny lil lake. seriously - the lake near gsk tonbridge is much larger & has got many more generations of ducks & swans..
Barry Island (off Cardiff)
sandy beach @ Barry Island..
FIsh & Chips & ice cream go together for seaside towns in UK. if you're at a seaside town, u simply MUST have fish & chips & ice cream.. else ur trip just won't be complete. (Actually, that's all they sell at sea side towns)
but anyway, i had both!! =) my fat awesome cheesy fries.. (somehow i suspect this lunch clogged up my arteries enough to raise my blood pressure for good.)
Welsh ice cream's reli good! - very very creamy. apparently their ice cream's different from the rest coz they make them using double cream.
@ Penarth Pier..
Cardiff Bay/ Mermaid Quay.. this place's quite pretty. loads of restaurants.. kinda like our esplanade.
standing under the world's largest Welsch LOVEspoon. haha. they have got different designs & symbols that signify different stuff.. say for example, if u get someone a lovespoon with a lock, it means u wanna love them for life & blah blah blah..
finally, my favourite pastime again! =) everyone were queuing up for this!! (& so we joined the queue.. - typical Singaporean style eh) we weren't disappointed. the tarts & choc eclair were divine =)
yup! tt about sums up our Cardiff trip. wish we had a car. the Wales countryside will be so much more worth visiting!
~gone in a moment..
