Nereid in Cardiff

Another visit to Cardiff. I met this Nereid, she wasn't doing any guided tours to the city - dragon or not. She seemed a bit occupied with that bird on her hand, so I sat on a fish and posed for the picture.

Nereids are sea nymphs from the Aegean Sea -this one's a bit lost. They are the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris (sounds like they might really be from the East End). The Nereids would go to the aid of sailors in heavy storms. This one looks like she goes to the aid of birds as well. I didn't spot any of the other 49, nor Doris. Though she was probably having a knees up round the piano in some pub.

Cardiff Hotel

Last day in Cardiff. Quick look out the window. Good view of John Lewis, so a short fly to the shops. Can see a bit of the Millennium Stadium and in the distance mountains. Next stop Swansea.

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.
