Arriving in Wales

An uneventful flight to Manchester, then the easy train to Crewe and on to Cardiff.  The Angel Hotel is substantial and centrally located.  We had sandwiches and the local Brains ale, then walked down to the Tic for info and to Waterstone’s for books (Alan Garner’s Weirdstone of Brisingamen for me).  Then a nap and, much refreshed, back to town for dinner at Bella Italia after a lovely walk in Bute Park along the River Taff (top and below).  And so to bed.
