Cardiff

// September 9th, 2007 // Cardiff, Laura, Travel, Wales

I flew down to Cardiff, to visit Laura for the weekend. Cardiff is a nice city, it’s a shame the airport is so far away, and rubbish. Unlike with Edinburgh, where you exit into the terminal building to pickup your luggage, in Cardiff you have to visit the one and only luggage carousal, or face a £2000 fine, as THE MAN kept pointing out, as I stopped on the point of no return.
