Day 38: Sat 23 Jul – Cowbridge to Cardiff

Ride: 23km

Woke to the news that 59 people had been killed in a bomb attack in Egypt; when will it all end? Besi rang to say hi and that Phil had been in an accident at Vets but was OK, others were hurt badly though. The ride seemed longer than the 14 miles it said on the sign. The road was very busy, especially the last 5km. Got into the city and saw the Castle port area. The city was busy and dirty with a lot of rubbish laying around, and the seagulls don’t help. Looked at a few hotels before settling on the Travelodge in the city, situated above an Australian Pub. £65/night. I’ll stay here until I have to return to London on Monday. I have a nice big room with kettle, etc. Went out at dusk for photos and a look around, but there were too many drunks, it was too cold and there was not much to photograph so went back to hotel and watched a movie.
