Danial was enthusiastic to see the Principali-
ty stadium so made our way there right after.
There are only joyful faces as we head toward
the stadium. We went there and took some pic-
tures outside. The stadium is an ideal location
with just a few minutes walk from the city centre.
As time passes by, we both head over to Bute Park.
This park in the heart of the city is very tranquil and
peaceful compared to the busy shopping streets of
Cardiff. Very large area for hours of walks through
the fields, woods and rivers. Outside you can find
dozen beautifully sculpted stone animals with
glass eyes. The craftsmanship and care of these ec-
centric animal statues along the wall are very in-
triguing and well worth a close-up stroll.
We were planning to go inside the
Cardiff Castle but time didn’t allow
us. The castle was about to closed by
the time we got there. But it didn’t stop
our adventure there because we head
on to our next discovery – shopping!
Cardiff offers spectacular shopping ex-
perience. Malls and shops was at every
corner of the street. When you’re here
make a point to go to St. David’s Mall.
Lots of eateries, lots of shops and lots
of bargains too. Number one thing
that caught my attention was Primark.
Yes, lo and behold the superstore that
sells all clothes and apparel with very
very very cheap prices. I couldn’t con-
tained myself by the excitement of the
stuff in Primark. You wouldn’t find
Primark at Carmarthen. The nearest
one is at Swansea and here in Cardiff.
Cardiff not only has its new shop-
ping centre but also all of these lovely ar-
cades with small one off shops. There are also
streets of up-market stores, smooth black and
glass exteriors, fancy names in fancier lettering.
I must say, I’ve rarely had more unexpected
fun experiences than during my time in Car-
diff, and this is yet another great example.
