The weather here has been about 12 degrees C and today was not exception except that it was very windy and looked like it would rain.
Leanne had some training to attend at the Leisure Centre and had to be there at 7:30am, so we were up super early. While she did her training we waited in the pub.
We drove off to Caerphilly castle in Caerphilly. This is the biggest castle in Wales and the second biggest in Europe. It was started in 1268 by the powerful Lord of Glamorgan but was never finished in his lifetime and from the 15th century was allowed to decay. Most of what is seen today is restoration work from the 1930’s, carried out by the 4th marquess of Bute, who then owned the castle.
From there we drove to Brecon Beacons National Park to see the Glun-Gwyn waterfalls. The weather was freezing cold, the wind was blowing and it was raining, so we only managed to walk down to see one of these waterfalls. On our way down, the rain stopped, but the wind was still blowing! This was spectacular and Bart decided to get closer and walked almost to the edge to take pictures. We were rather concerned and shouting for him to move, but with all the water falling, he could not hear us!!
On our way back to the car we spotted some sheep with their lambs who walked away from us when we came towards them but then when we stopped, they came closer. They were really cute. All in all we walked about 2km down, then up a wet and rocky pathway. 
We then went to Pizza Hut for some lunch. Dereck and Leanne had eat as much pizza, Bart had eat as much pizza and salad and I had eat as much salad – delicious!
We then drove back to Cardiff and went to the main street and looked around at the shops. I must say I find them rather interesting and found some nice brads at a book shop that also stocked a few craft items.
We headed off home atabout 6:00pm and we made toasted sandwiches for supper and just sorted out photos and watched TV.
It was a long day and we eventually got to bed at 10:30pm.

Ag man those sheep are so cuddly. Its sad to know that your fantastic experience has nearly come to an end. But I am sure your friends and family can't wait for your return home. Hugs from Desire
Love those sheep! So cute & furry - pity they have to mark them down the back though - would think they could come up with an identity method a little more discreet! Thanks for all your comments - you are a very committed Blogger to be blog hopping on holiday! Wow, you have had such a great experience I'm sure you wish it could go on forever!
Where are you now? Are you on the way home?
