This Sunday is the last day of "RHS Show Cardiff", this is a fantastic show in Wales, lots of people across this country rush into Bute Park for this show, however, most of them are old man and old woman. Actually, I have been to this park in Friday and Saturday, I didn't go to the show, you know, the ticket isn't that cheap for a international student, plus it's not like a proper event for the people in my ages. I just walked around the show, and enjoyed the sunshine nearby. It's so nice that we have so clear weather here in Cardiff when some of European cities are suffering from the terrible volcano ash.
But today, I don't come here just for joy, I have a weekly run programme, every week I run for over half an hour, about 5km in the park if weather permits. Today, after I finished my run, I followed some people who just come out from the RHS show, some of them carried plants in their hand, some of them chatted about the interesting things in the show...they are really so happy! When we walked near the back gate of Cardiff Castle, some guys in front of us just walked into that gate without tickets, although there are two gate keepers sitting there! A couple in front of me talked about this, the wife said, we don't have tickets, can we come in like them? The husband said, of course, just walk with confidence. So, I followed, walked with confidence as he said, I successfully come into the Castle! To be honest, it's my first time to be in the Castle, it's amazing, no matter people say,"Cardiff can't be Cardiff without its Castle".
I don't want to teach the history lesson here, you can get this kind of information from it's official site or Wikipedia page. I would like to share the experience of this trip. Because we come into the Castle from the back gate, so it's not like a normal way. I first went to the "The Norman keep", I can get a great view both of north and south, the city is so beautiful in such a good weather. Then I come down, and went to "Ladies Walk", a long story here, however, it's under construction now. The next site is the "main building"(I don't know how to call that), I come into from the exit this time, wrong direction again. So, the first room is "the library", there are many old books in this room. Then I went to the biggest room(I forgot the name), the furniture and decoration are amazing here! I can't believe it. Then I went to a smaller room, for family meal, I think. After 10 minutes, I come down to "the entry hall", next time I should come here first. Here is a nice trip log from a Chinese visitor.
Anyway, this is an amazing trip for me, and it's free. My suggestion to some
