    We had breakfast at the hotel before heading off on the second leg of our @[92577111088:Manic Street Preachers] pilgrimage to Blackwood, their hometown. The hotel owner asked why we'd ever want to go there and when we told him we were Manic's fans he told us that Nicky Wire lived in a huge house at the top of the hill and that he was a really nice guy.

  2. Checkin at Blackwood Library

      We took my Mum to the library, which she got excited about and imagined Richey borrowing books from.

    We walked down the high street (which was a bit like Cowdenbeath) and went for a hot chocolate in one of the cafes. I bought some pink lipstick from the street market and we jumped back in the car to head off somewhere more exciting.

  4. Checkin at Red Dragon Centre
    1. Edit

      My Mum and Dad are big @[180583785987:Dr Who] fans so we went to the exhibition at the Red Dragon Centre.

      They had all the monsters, costumes and my favourites, the daleks!

  5. Checkin at Cardiff Bay

      We then headed down to Cardiff Bay which is gorgeous.

      We walked in to the centre but there didn't seem to be much there. Cardiff seems to be under a lot of reconstruction at the moment, so we'll have to come back when it's finished.

      We found the "secret entrance" to the base from @[17748594439:Torchwood] on our way back to the car. My parents were really excited!

      It’s weird coming back from holiday to a more exciting city!
