God, just how awesome is Cardiff Bay?!! ♥ Now definitely one of my favourite places! :-) 
The weather was absolutely marvellous! Blue sky and very warm, one of the finest days of our holidays actually. We walked (!) the whole way from the camping site to the Bay and back (with a detour to the city centre too). *uff* In the Norwegian Church we had drinks and a little snack, which was nice.

We also visited the "Doctor Who - Up Close" exhibition in the Red Dragon Centre. But I will upload the pictures in a seperate post. ;-)
