Hello Cardiff

Hi again!

I went for a day trip to Cardiff yesterday for my sister's birthday. It was an impromptu visit as initially I did not have any plans. But I had to get her away for her housemate to prep for her surprise party.

We arrived Cardiff around noon and started walking around the city area. We started with Cardiff Market and bought some Welsh cakes. It's like normal pancake but thicker and sweeter.

Then, we head to Cardiff Castle since none of us have been here before. Entrance to the castle costs £12 for adults, £10.50 for students and seniors, and £9 for children between 5-16 years. The fees come with audio guide, so you can learn about the history of the castle itself. Quite a good deal right? Usually you have to pay extra for audio guide.

Depending on your pace, it might take about 2-3 hours to go around the whole castle. If you walk faster, it may take less time that than.
