Pictures of St. Fagans, October 15th - lovely open air museum
previously: Arriving in Cardiff, Bay & Dinner
The morning started with a very nice breakfast. Later we all compared the breakfasts of the different hotels – seems we got the best selection. There was a huge line with eggs and bacon and sausages and grilled tomatoes and mushrooms and black pudding and hash browns. You could also have toast and different jam or different kind of cereals, there was a selection of cheese and salami, and I especially loved the fresh fruit. One day they even had Marmite.
At 10 PM we met with Giotto and Ranvaig at the central bus station and took bus number 32 to St. Fagans. At least we intended to, but we were there a bit early, and the driver of bus number 320 offered us a ride there also, so who are we to refuse?
Why St. Fagans, you ask? First, there is the Museum of Welsh Life, and second, the Doctor Who episodes “Human Nature” and “Family of Blood” were shot in there. Here we are standing on the front stairs to the entrance.
( Collapse )
I need to do a break here, as I have so much more to show you - come back for seeing some lovely old fashioned shops, little houses the Welsh lived in, their gardens, a cute school and post office, the place where the Doctor threw the racket ball, the barn where the TARDIS was hidden, and the dance hall from the Big Waltz!
