Wales Wicked Van Tour Day 1

We set off nice and early to beat the London traffic which we where told was going to be horrible. It wasn't so bad and we made it to Cardiff in a few hours, we stopped just near Millennium Stadium for a look around Cardiff Castle and the surrounding areas. After that we set off for Tenby along the coast, the Satnav took us along some very scenic routes and laneways that only one car at a time could travel down. Lucky since its an obvious tourist car everyone we came across coming the other direction reversed and let us through.

After a couple of hours we arrived at our hostel which for some reason didn’t open till 5pm! It was the perfect opportunity for us to take in the sites around the cliffs and walking trails. We sat around and had some beers then made our way into the hostel. We asked the guy behind the counter where the nearest pub was and it was about a 20 minute walk past the military artillery range. We headed over pretty much straight away since the hostel didn’t have a bar and the people staying were all families and not the partying type.

The pub was great and the people where really friendly, we stayed till close and made a couple of Welsh friends.

Fanatics Tour: Wallabies Vs Wales in Cardiff

We did the Fanatics bus tour to the Wales vs Wallabies game in Cardiff on Saturday as you might already know. It was a huge day, we started by boarding the bus at Shepards Bush Walkabout in London at 7 am with a few roadies and were in Wales by 11 am. We had a few hours before the match and spent it having a few beers with the locals. They were very friendly and there are some great bars and pubs.

We eventually made it to Millennium Stadium and it was one of the best that I have been to. We had great seats behind the posts and our section was singled out on TV during the national anthem and after a Wallabies try. It was a pity that the game was a draw but it was a great game to watch.

Here are the links to the video footage from channel 10 if you missed the previous posts:

Video one - National Anthem

Video two - Conversion

The ride home was pretty painful but we managed to get some sleep. About half the bus was missing so I hope they found a nice park bench to sleep on and had a jacket since the next bus wasn't till 10 am the next morning.

The game was a draw 29 - 29, you can read the highlights from Rugby Heaven.
