More Photos of Wales and England

[puckrobin]

And here are some more photos of my adventures.



Here are a few more of Roald Dahl Plass and Cardiff Bay. The "scenic" entrance to Torchwood is a secret lift by the shiny pillar/waterfall.





For another Doctor Who site, here's the Queen's Arcade, where the Autons attacked in the first episode of the new series. Oddly, there doesn't appear to be a London Underground station at this Cardiff shopping mall, despite what the TV series suggested.



Here's the keep of Cardiff Castle, although the really nice looking interiors is the Victorian splendour in the outer parts of the castle grounds.



The view from Cardiff Castle, including the lavishly decorated Clock Tower, and in the distance, the Millennium Stadium -- which played home to the last Dalek among other Doctor Who locations. My hotel was just across the river Taff from the stadium.




Here's another Castle View, this time of Bute Park. Those are supposed to be "Druid Stones" in the clearing.




Another picture of my friends at Gregynog. I think I'll hold back the photos where sorne is emphatically flailing about whilst explaining her master plan for private distribution.



On the way back from Gregynog, we saw a lot of flooding in the Welsh Marshes -- sometimes forcing us to take alternate routes.





But it didn't stop us visiting Tintern Abbey.







And here in London, the Thames is very high. But none of the thousands of people I saw while walking its banks appeared to be fleeing. Apparently, they don't trust the Evening Standard.

Yay Tintern! Shame about the scaffolding.

So it looks like you were able to walk around Roald Dahl Plass second time around? I got your postcard this morning - thanks!

Yikes! I can't believe I missed this. My mom was talking about the big flood in an email, so I thought I'd send her a link to your England and Wales photos. That was when I found this subsequent entry! D'oh! Anyway, the second batch of pictures are great! I especially like the Doctor Who/Torchwood location shots and the flood pictures. Oh, and it was cool to see Cardiff Castle and Tintern Abbey again! :-)
