Day 5
Today was a shopping day. We went into Cardiff (about a ½ - ¾ hour drive from Merthyr). It is the capitol of Wales and sits right on the bay. I absolutely love it. We went to Saint David’s Arcade and Queens Street. I was finally able to go to the Apple store and have my iPad2 checked out. The good news is- they will give me a new one, the bad news is they don’t have Version iPad’s- so they offered to check in Des Moines and see if I can get one shipped to the UK.
After hitting the two Welsh shops we drove down to the Bay area for dinner. After dinner we took a walk around the Bay and over to the theatre (Canolfan y Mileniwm Cymru/ Wales Millennium Centre) where Emma worked. Luckily, Emma talked to a security guy and he let us tour the building. It is made from Welsh wood and slate- it is impossible to describe how beautiful it is. I can see why Emma always loved working there.
Friends of Luke’s and Emma met us for a drink and a chat then back home to Merthyr.
