Hello everyone I hope you have a great time. I was in Cardiff (eventually)last Sunday for a reunion. I advise you to check if anything is happening at the Millenium Stadium. It took us 2 and a half hours longer than we anticipated to travel there from the Midlands. On the return journey we queued for nearly an hour to get onto the motorway. What a nightmare- but Cardiff Bay was so interesting to see.

sue, not taking the boat then? LOL if those who are coming give me a preffered date for them, i can start putting things into place. will post directions to those who need them. and parking arrangements. lynnxx

Hi again, When we go to Swansea we usually park in the docks area and 'do' the Dylan Thomas museum and eat in one of the pubs there. When you've decided on a venue let me know and I'll look at Multimap. Gwynne

gwynne, park at the docks, planning mumbles, pier, museum, dylan thomas centre, resturant at marina, watering hole LOL and if you know of any other place you would like us to visit, put them on the thread. lynnxx

Nope, you seem to have everything covered.............. although I do intend visiting the Egyptology exhibition one day. Gwynne
