Cardiff

This will have to be quick.

The past few days have been nice. We have afternoons mostly free to explore the city and try all the Middle-Eastern food shops and clean. When we first got to our house (which was a very long walk after a verrrry long day), we found out that it had eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. Spacious, right? Not really. We each got our own rooms, but they were dirty and needed lots of cleaning. And none of our sheets fit quite right. One of the bathrooms had no hot water, so it was out for showers, and another bathroom had hot water but zero water pressure, so it was like showering from a plastic bag. One working bathroom for eight girls is not easy.

My bedroom, before I even got sheets on the bed, haha.

Aside from our bedrooms being dirty, our kitchen only had one small fridge. Well, only one that worked. But an entire wall was taken up by two more that were broken. So that was a mess. And to top it off, we didn't have working lights on the first two floors for four days. It finally got fixed yesterday. But we were all afraid to go to our own bedrooms at night, so we ended up all piling onto one person's bed just we wouldn't be alone :)

Now that the power is fixed, the showers are repaired, and one of the defunct fridges is gone, we're doing much better. I'll keep you posted on any further improvements.

Cardiff City:

A pretty park on the way to the grocery store :) Queen Street, the area in the middle of town with really pretty buildings and lots of shops. More of Queen Street, with a little tiny piece of Cardiff Castle on the right City Hall next to the clock tower. City Hall has a dragon, sort of the mascot of Wales, on its top. It's pretty cool. Me at Cardiff Bay for the food festival. It looks cloudy, but it was such a beautiful day for Wales!
