Linda and I checked out of Mildenhall and took the train back to London, then took the Great Western Railway to the western UK, on our way to Cardiff.  While in London a Brit asked me about the 4th of July.  I asked him if they celebrated it over here and he said it was just another work day.  We traveled about 4 hours by train, at speeds up to 118mph. Speedometer posted speeds for passengers.  A very pleasant journey.  We made our stop in Cardiff and checked into the Angel Hotel.  It is located across the street from the Cardiff Castle, a former Roman fort, a former Norman Castle.  A former castle for whoever was calling the shots.  We were excited about exploring Cardiff, enjoying the Welsh culture and tasting their cuisine.

A Day in Germany Continues Part II

As was stated earlier, our plans were changed but we still had a great day. The clouds stated and a little light rain fell from the heavens.  Since the top of Germany wasn't happening for us today, our tour guides Jerry & Linda (my brother & sister-in-law) developed a change in plans.  They took us to Schloss Neuschwanstein (Cinderella Castle) for Pat and me to tour. Jerry & Linda had already did the tour so they visited  one of the local villages.  Here are some pictures at the castle. Our ride to the Castle from the parking area.
