Cardiff - London 2015 - Part 1

Arriving In Cardiff

Friday - May 1st 2015

Claudia and I are big fans of the United Kingdom. Until now we have been to London and Scotland and this years we wanted return to London. We are also big Doctor Who fans and since Cardiff is home to the Doctor Who Experience, we decided to combine a trip to London with a visit to Wales' capital city. Our easyjet flight departed from Munich in the morning and so we had to get up early. After we checked in at the airport, we had a cup of coffee and soon it was time for boarding. Around 11:00am we arrived at London Gatwick airport and collected our belongings before we headed to the National Express bus station. At first we wanted to rent a car, but renting is very expensive in the UK compared to other countries and so we took the bus, which was a lot cheaper and much more relaxing. In the late afternoon Claudia and I finally arrived in Cardiff and walked straight to our hotel. We stayed at the Lincoln House Hotel, which was located about 20 minutes by foot from the city center. The hotel offered a full Welsh breakfast and the hotel staff even got vegan breakfast sausages for us. Our room was very nice and equipped with a TV and a bathroom.

After we unpacked our stuff, we walked back into the city for an early dinner at Wagamama. I had the fried rice and Claudia got the curry. Later we just strolled around in Cardiff, got a coffee at Starbucks, and then we headed back to the hotel, where we enjoyed a glass of beer at the hotel bar.
