Yeah, I suspect we'd only stay a night or two if we go there. It'd be neat to see Cardiff Castle, and pretty cool to hang out in that place (I forget the name) that they feature so prominently in Torchwood, but other than that it'd just be a matter of experiencing the city (and all the crazy Welsh words
). Sometimes it's great to "do" lots of things, but other times it's nice to be in a place where there may not be that much to do. Both times I went to Austria, we spent I think 3 or 4 days in Kitzbühel, and I think after two days I had walked around the entire city (it's a small ski town). Yet, I don't think I ever really got bored of it, because it was an interesting experience. That said, it's good to know that about Cardiff because it makes me feel less bad about the possibility of only spending a day or two there.

You can get across the channel a lot more easily by ferry rather than train: but if you want to use the tunnel you need to book into a coach trip and they take you on a fright train, the passenger trains are pretty pricey.

Good point, I hadn't thought of going by ferry. How long does that take though? And how do you ride on a freight train?

I dont live that near London, 75 miles away, but if you get together a meet up in London I'd be up for it.

Cool...that's one...anyone else?
Some people have mentioned places like Oxford and Cambridge...aside for having world-famous universities, what's special about those places? (Forgive my ignorance.)
