Day 28 - St Fagan's and Newport

This would have to be one of our best days for a while, weather-wise. The day broke sunny and cloudless and the four of us decided to go to St Fagan's in Cardiff. Although the cloud did come up it was still sunny and almost hot at times.

First though we were taken to Newport's best known landmark, the Transporter Bridge. Wiki will tell you all about it and scroll down to the images. Transporter Bridge

St Fagan's is an open-air museum about Welsh life in the far and near past. It is a much grander version of our Jondaryan Woolshed. We spent all day here.
