Pictures: South Wales (Newport, Gwent, Cardiff...)

The house I stayed in while in Newport.
"Croeso" is "Welcome" in Welsh, and the second word is Welsh for "Cardiff". This was outside the Cardiff train station.
A Welsh bumble bee!
Greenhouses at St. Fagan's.
At the gardens at St. Fagan's.
Castle at St. Fagan's.
Dovecote.
A gazebo like structure, now a sitting area at St. Fagan's.
The first is the fish house exhibiting all the equipment used over time to fish, and the second is the boat house, which has boats on display.
At the wool mill.
Outside of the wool mill.
Thatched barn. Looked like it was made of wicker.

Looking from the wooded area toward the castle and gardens at St. Fagan's. This reminds me a lot of the Van Trapp's house in Sound of Music. Doesn't it look like their yard?
From the castle/garden level.
A tiny part of the gardens at St. Fagan's.

Millenium Stadium, Cardiff/S. Wales pride and glory at the moment. (Though, not to be mistake, Cardiff is known for more since it is the capital and has the castle.)
From the "basement" part of Cardiff Castle, up to what I assume would be the ground level, but we weren't allowed to go up there.
The "basement" tunnel. You can walk this around a great deal of the perimeter. I chickened out after ten minutes... very creepy after a while.
A good picture of the setup of the watchtower at Cardiff Castle. You can really get a feel for the whole moat situation.

Cardiff Castle from inside the watchtower.
Looking down at the walkway from inside the watchtower.

Walk up to watchtower (from exiting the tower.)
The watchtower!
Moat!
Inside Cardiff Castle the walls were amazing. I took many pictures, so it was hard to choose. There is incredible detail in every part of the castle, from the mouldings to the fireplace to doorknobs.
Stained glass.
Yes, that's a castle at the end of the road in Cardiff city centre. No big deal.
USA nails... I had to take a picture.
A castle off in the distance at Newport (not Cardiff Castle).
At the cemetery next to Dasha's house in Newport. Supposedly the oldest cemetery in the UK.
At cemetery.
Room I stayed in at Dasha's house.

It is so hard to choose which pictures to post. There are so, so many. This is a mere hint of the whole thing.
