Finally I made it to little west of South Wales after living here 19 months. Little emberassing for someone who loves to travel but you all know how it feels sometimes you got sick of doing everything by yourself and getting lazy. During 19 months I been to couple of times Spain more than 10 times to London once to Manchester couple of times to Scotland and to back home to Turkey but never had the chance to go to further than Cardiff.

My partner and a very good friend ( we know each other for 25 years and he is living in Brussels lately ) visited me during the long weekend and we had monday & tuesday 17th & 18th of July full of travelling. We did some timing mistakes but we did not want to plan everything and decided to drive along the coast after Cardiff. Penarth was a great spot just outside of Cardiff with a nice marina and a lovely pub beautiful building I should say and the sunset was great. After that we arrived to little towns sat down on the coast benches watch the sea finally made it to Barry & Barry Island.

It was getting late so we got back to M4 to arrive Swansea before midnight. When we arrived there finally it was around 11:30 at night we did not know anywhere so wondered on the streets and by chance we found the nice bar Eden. As you can imagine it was empty only couple of people were playing pool but we liked the place also the staff was very helpful.

After a round of drinks we looked for a hotel but all the hotels we checked was full sadly we went back to the car and drove back to Newport which took around 45 minutes not too bad at all. I always thought it will take hours to go to Swansea.

This is a photo which we found very interesting to keep the streets clean they make board like this for the gums...

Next stop will be London next weekend for partner's bbq party... I am already hungry...
