Day 15 - That morning, we boarded the ferry to Wales but the ship this time is smaller I guess, because we can all feel it swaying and it made me feel so dizzy most of the trip.  In Wales, we drove to Cardiff for an evening of Welsh entertainment.  Cardiff Castle is nice with the guide giving us a short tour before the dinner.  The dinner would've been nice as well but I think they overbooked the night we were there.  The place was packed and the servers who are also performers can't serve everyone fast enough.
