Millennium Centre
Our final cold, rainy day in Wales we took a long walk around the bay, starting at the Wales Millennium Centre and William Pye’s reflective Water Tower, below.
All Hands

Hotel Elevator View
At the beginning of September we spent a few days in Wales sightseeing. More pictures to come over the next few days.
