So we took him to Cardiff Castle for a treat. If you have never been there, then while in the city, this is a must see. Well worth the entrance fee and the tour is brilliant. The only down side, is that if you have difficulties with stairs, this is not for you. As we are residents of Cardiff, we were entitled to the Cardiff Key which for a small price will give free entrance to the castle and parts of the house and tour.
The only issue is if you have walking difficulties as there is a lot of stairs up and down on the tour. But it is very interesting and of course the guide are extremely knowledgeable. Well they would have to be or there would no point in doing the job! The tour is just under an hour and then you are free to wander around. One of the highlights is the Castle keep which is the second highest in the UK.
And then there is the Welsh regiments museum underneath the visitor centre. You can also walk through the walls of the castle where people sheltered from the bombs during the war. All in all a very interesting day and young Lewis loved it.
And then yesterday we went out to a pub for lunch that I had not been to before, the Oystercatcher just outside of Penarth. It is one of the 'hungry horse' pubs, and serves large portions! I had a burrito, and just could not finish it. All in all though a very nice meal and I would go back again.
It was a very hot day though, as in my car it read 27c and even at home I had 22c, and this in early May. Extreme for the UK, but that will ease off by this week. Us Brit's simply are not used to that heat this early.
