Wales The Land of The Welsh

Cardiff Castle
A street in Bath
As I awoke this morning and stepped out the main door of The Suresh residence....I felt the cool crisp English wind on my face and I turned to David and said it will be a nice day to go for a long drive. So at the spur of the moment he said we will drive to Wales which was about 2 hours drive from Wokingham. So after a quick breakfast and a short stop at the local Tesco for some bites to eat we were on our way in our car...a Proton Gen 2 Ecologic...compliments of Proton UK.

The drive was such a pleasant journey...cruising along the beautiful M4 highway....with sights of sprawling hills and large fields of yellow rapeseed....what a sight to behold. As we were passing some small English towns I noticed a sign pointing to Bath , a city that became a heritage site in 1987. So David took a detour and we were amazed at the beauty of the colonial buildings of Bath which was breathtaking....after some photos....and breathing in the beauty of this city...we moved on with our journey to Wales. And we were welcomed into this country by the beautiful Severn Bridge that connects England and Wales ....and signboards that had English and Welsh..the language of Wales which I did not realise existed.

Upon reaching Cardiff...I realised that the first time I heard about this city was when my oldest niece Sangeetha came here to study law and she met Alvin her husband in this very city. We passed the Cardiff University and it was great because this is where Sangeetha studied and graduated. Well we drove around and then we parked the car...and went for a walk around this beautiful city...and shops in The Hayes...the markets...and then you come to the awesome Cardiff Castle. And after looking for a fridge magnet to add on to my collection..we drove around a bit and headed home.

A day well spent in the Land of the Welsh...the land where the beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones is originated from.
