    Thanks for coming to Cardiff! That pub that you had a pint in at St Fagan's Museum was at The Vulcan pub, which - like all the buildings at this great outdoors museum - was taken down brick by brick and then reassembled on the museum grounds. You had a unique tourist experience sitting outside Wetherspoons all afternoon getting drunk! We'll have to give you honorary Cardiff citizenship for that! Enjoy the rest of your tour!

    Fantastic that you got to see the old buildings in St Fagans, and you got to have a pint in the Vulcan Pub, which has not been open for long.
    I remember that pub when it was located in the centre of Cardiff,near the city's prison.
    It was very popular with football fans when the FA Cup was held in Cardiff for a few years.
    Spencer, when you were sat outside Wetherspoons, over your right shoulder was the famous Caroline Street, otherwise known as chippy alley, next time in Cardiff, make sure you go out on a friday night and finish off with supper in chippy alley.

    I still can't believe you're in Wales. I was a teacher and took my class to St.Fagans every year. They identify historical buildings, houses, churches, schools, farm buildings, etc. from different centuries, purchase them, then dismantle them brick by brick and rebuild them in St.Fagans Museum as a way to preserve them for the nation. They film a lot of tv programmes there, eg. Dr.Who, Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), Poldark, plus so many more, because of the variety of historical buildings in such a small, compact area. Cardiff is also great for a night out!

    I'm enjoying the fact you're going for a far more humble and down to earth experience.
    Though the UK for sure has some great posh swanky hotels I'm sure, it's not really the world that the vast majority of us live in. The types of people you meet will give you a better idea of humour, mindset, outlook, attitude etc.
    Despite things a nice cuppa, or fish and chips being cultural staples here, I'm not sure if most of us would actually be aware of things like National Fish and Chips Day so please don't take any lack of heads up as a snub.
    For instance, it's only after moving to my current city about 10 years ago did i discover we have a National Talk Like a Pirate Day. And that i discovered after they brought an 18th century whaling sail ship to the pier dressed up as a pirate ship.
    I wouldn't be surprised if every day of the year was some kind of National day, National Jam day or National Bicycle Day or things like that. In some ways those hidden gems that aren't grotesquely commercialised are part of the kinda understated mentality here.
    Which areas are you headed to? I'll see what kinda sights you may like. Are you looking for military history? Medieval ruins? Cultural history (you visited Abbey Road Studios i saw)?

    Interesting you are going to Beamish, there is a similar place in the Midlands called The Black Country Museum which was used for some scenes in Peaky Blinders. Love how say route, in the UK we say root even though the spelling is the same. Enjoy the rest of your time here :)

    It wasn't just the chips that were loaded by that point.
    Have to admit I feel like going for a pint too after watching that.
