Cardiff – Day Six
We were all packed and ready to check out before we enjoyed one last breakfast, after which we drove to Caerphilly to visit the castle. The car park closest to the castle was full so rather than wait for a space we chose to park in the long stay car park. This meant we had [...]

Cardiff – Day Five
I continued to sample the various breakfast options choosing different items from the hot cooked buffet selection. It was only after I had made my selection that I noticed crusty bread was on offer to accompany the continental breakfast options, unlike the previous days.

Cardiff – Day One
At the last minute we had to cancel our trip to Madeira due to Mr C having an unexpected health issue that required tests and which meant that we were not insured to travel abroad.
Within a few days we came up with ‘Plan B’, a trip to Cardiff, a place that neither of us had [...]
