Afterward, we hung out for a bit and then went on a mission to find cannoli. The city of London is stubborn about not having cannoli, and the mission continues. If you or a friend have any information that can lead us to the apprehension of "cannoli," any clues are greatly appreciated.
On Friday, I met up with another friend, and we went to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for a light dinner. This is probably my favorite restaurant so far. It was rebuilt in 1667 after the Great Fire, and it feels like it hasn't changed at all since then. I had my first steak and kidney pie! A lovely experience overall!
The next morning, I woke up early for Wales. The trip is really easy. The Tube line wasn't running, so I had to grab a bus to Paddington station. From there, it was a 2 hour train ride to Cardiff Central Station and a bus to Queen Street. The theatre was pretty much a few steps from the Queen Street station.
Queen Street was a large pedestrian shopping area full of touristy little shops. Mostly American brand clothing stores with a Burger King, Starbucks and McDonald's interspersed. I grabbed lunch at a buffet style restaurant. It was very inexpensive and the food was good. I walked over to Cardiff Castle, but I didn't want to pay admission if I wasn't going to have a lot of time to explore. I went back to the theatre for the show.
Every few seats, there were binoculars for rent, but I was pretty close to the stage.
The show was A LOT of fun! Totally worth the trip! There was even an ice skating performance in the middle (it was a dream sequence)! My train wasn't for a little while, so I waited by the stage door. A lot of the cast came out to greet people. At that point everything was closed, so I took an earlier train back to London.
Overall, an excellent weekend!
