Travel and Adventure Journal

I wanted a place to journal all my travels and adventures around the world. I always enjoy going back and reflecting on my past travels and getting to relive them through my words and photos.

Day 38

Since the Rock & Bowl hostel was booked for Saturday night when I was making plans earlier in the week, I had to figure out where else to go. Cardiff, Wales was on my list of places to visit and it wasn't very far from Bristol. I checked and they had a hostel with availability for Saturday night so I booked it.

I made myself a sandwich and checked out of the hostel. I was going to read for a bit in one of the parks but the ground was wet from some rain earlier. I ended up going to the train station where I had a cup of coffee and read for a little while.

Eventually I got on the train and after a short ride I was in Cardiff. The Cardiff Central train station is basically smack dab in the middle of all the action. It was only a few minutes walk to the hostel which is also in the center of everything.

I checked in, walked around the city center for a bit, had a couple beers, then got some chinese food for dinner. I decided to walk down to the Cardiff Bay to see some of the sights there. Doctor Who films quite a bit around Cardiff and the bay area is one place that's featured regularly. Unfortunately there was a big festival set up where most of the scenes were shot so I wasn't able to get a good photo.

I'm back at the hostel now and I'll probably go down and get another drink at the hostel bar and hang out for a while. Tomorrow I need to spend some time figuring out where I'm going to spend next week.
