Made a quick trip back to Cei Newydd to pick up my knapsack and then straight off to Cardiff. The bus driver was astounding today and probably deserved a medal. He maneurvered the bus through the craziest and tightest roads ever and scraped past semis (lorries) that were going too fast. Despite his great driving, I have to say the buses in Wales are generally terrible. They cost too much and tend to double travel time. They are also hopeless on Sundays and holidays. In fact, many stores still close in Wales on Sundays. It's a little bit frustrating.
Melody had set up a level in the fridge just for curries. Awesome. Some wine and laughs. I told her about my weekend.
I walked through the Cardiff market. It still smells the same as the first time I visited here when I was ten. There's a fish market at the entrance (that accounts for the smell) that almost always displays a small shark for sale. It's great! They also sell laver, a tasty seaweed from South Wales. A nice Welsh dish is laver bread. Mix the laver with oats in equal parts, form into patties and fry up. Traditionally, it would have been fried in bacon fat but since I'm veggie, I just use olive oil. It's pretty good on toast with mustard.
