Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital of Wales.  We will be spending three nights there.  The hotel we will be staying at is very cool and has an indoor pool!

The flag of Wales is a dragon and they speak both English and Welsh.

While we are in Cardiff we will be going to the Doctor Who Experience.  This is next to the studios where they film Doctor Who and has costumes and props from the show.  Including the TARDIS!

When we went to Wellington to see the Doctor Who show we got to see a lot of aliens and monsters up close and my mum was so scared of the cyberman- she was actually shaking!  I can't wait to scare her some more!



Also in Cardiff is the millennium centre and Roald Dahl Plass.  A lot of Doctor Who was filmed here.  Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors and he lived in Wales.


Just outside of Cardiff is Caerphilly Castle. 





It was built in the 13th Century and is surrounded by a moat and has a drawbridge.  It is in ruins but they have working catapults and have repaired some parts of it so people can walk through.


We found a very good website that has more detail about the history of Caerphilly Castle including lots of pictures.
