Wales Millenium Centre

Here I am in front of the Wales Millennium Centre. It has writing in English and Welsh on the front, English behind me on the right Welsh on the left. They are lines from poems by a Welsh poet. The letters are windows in the upstairs bar. I would like to visit the bar to look out those windows, must be fun.

Quick Refreshments

It's warm and sunny in Cardiff and that boat trip has left me exhausted. So I've nipped in here to have a bite to eat and a drop of water. Taking the opportunity to catch up with friends on the phone as well. Once I'm refreshed I'll have a wander round the harbour.

Cardiff

I'm back in Wales. It's a nice day in Cardiff so I thought I'd go down to Cardiff Bay by boat. It used to be called Tiger Bay, pity I would like to have met some tigers. Behind me the copper coloured building is the Millennium Centre, which is an arts centre.
I got on the boat near the Millennium Stadium in the centre of Cardiff. The boat goes along the River Taff and takes you to Cardiff Bay where you can get off. It's much better than walking from the town centre to the bay.

Kastrup Airport

On the way back home now. Sitting in the lounge at Kastrup Airport. I've got a nice coffee here. No sign of champagne, but after a search I did find the wine, looks like they were hiding it . Expect the nice people on the plane will rustle up a drop or two though. It's been a nice few days in Copenhagen, fun to meet up with lots of dragons.

Rosenborg Slot

Off to the Rosenborg Slot, or Rosenborg Castle. It's a royal castle in the middle of Copenhagen. The Danish Crown Jewels are on display in the basement. Around the walls on the outside were a number of people. There weren't any name plates. I had a chat with this one, it seemed rude to ask his name. He has lovely views across the park apparently, but it gets a bit cold in winter.
