After running from place to place in the city centre of Cardiff, trying to stay out of the rain as much as possible, we got into a taxi and headed for the waterfront. We were ready for some food, which we found among the too-many-to-choose-from restau-rants at the Mermaid Quay complex. I wholeheartedly believe that this area surrounding the lake commonly called “the Bay”, is a terrific place to spend a warm summer day. Easily pictured. But this time, with it being off-season, and the rain was coming down, hard, it was a sad sight. Grey and quiet. I wouldn’t be surprised if we were the only ones there.

Cardiff looks like an amazing place to visit! To bad it was raining. I can only imagine what it would be like on a warm sunny day! #TheWeeklyPostcard
I imagine it would be a lot better, because in this state, it wasn’t 🙁
It’s very disappointing when you get rained on while traveling. Cardiff’s waterfront surely looks beautiful, but if it rains hard you can’t do any sightseeing. #TheWeeklyPostcard
I hate it when my travels are washed away 🙁 I bet it is a nice place on a sunny day.
I haven’t been to Wales yet but a friend has just returned from 3 weeks in the UK and her favorite part was Wales. I hope to make it there someday! #theweeklypostcard
I am thinking she moved beyond Cardiff, because there was not much there… If there ever is a next time, you’ll find me in the countryside 🙂
I haven’t made it to Wales yet, but hoping to soon. I will make sure I go during the summer. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard.
Would like to go back to explore the countryside, in better weather 🙂
Cardiff’s waterfront looks like an amazing place to chill! Thanks for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard!
On a warm, sunny day, I think it has to be a good one.
