Day 4 Continued, Cardiff Castle

This is a cut and paste of the itinerary:  Our Itinerary reads: Explore Bath, a city of elegant Georgian buildings in a distinctive golden stone.  Tour the wonderfully preserved Roman Baths.  Head to Cardiff, where you'll take a sightseeing tour of the city before touring Cardiff Castle, a medieval castle fabulously renovated in Victorian Gothic style.  Dine in your hotel this evening.  So, we are inside Cardiff Castle.

The ceilings were gorgeous.
One of the walls in the nursery.
Cardiff Castle is one of Wales leading heritage attractions.  From the Roman occupation, to the Norman Conquest, through Civil War, The Victorian transformation and the terrors of WWII, there are 2,000 years of history in the castle right in the heart of the city.


Picture after picture.  There's so much to see on every wall, on every ceiling you hardly can take it all in.

Murals and symbols throughout the castle.
Even the rooftop area was gorgeous.

The Bute family left their mark transforming the house into the opulent Victorian Gothic Home it is today.
After departing Cardiff Castle, we headed Mercure Hotel, were we lodged just for 1 night.
Once again we were super rushed to check in, get out luggage and change for dinner, so no time to take our own pictures of the hotel, so these are from the hotel's webpage.

In the morning we'll head north from Cardiff.
