The Long Ride Home

Well I've just about reached the end of my time here in Europe.  Today I took the bus and went and saw Wales for a few hours.  The Cardiff Castle was kind of neat and then I walked around the city a bit and also saw the museum.  I got back here to Bristol at about 4 PM and will start making my way to the airport tonight.  I'm flying out of the Gatwick airport at 9:50 AM tomorrow (I flew in to Heathrow) and it turns out the cheapest and easiest way to get there is by taking the train.  Only problem is that the cheap train leaves at 8:40 tonight and gets me to Gatwick at about 1 AM so I'll get to hang out all night in the airport before spending the whole next day on a plane, oh well.  I'm flying first to Philadelphia where I will have a 2.5 hour layover before catching my final flight to San Fransisco.  I'm meeting my Dad there and we're going to see the Giants play the Atlanta Braves.  After spending the day Thursday cruising around in the Bay Area we'll head back to Reno Thursday night.  All in all this has been a really fun trip and I'm glad that I did it.  Hopefully next time I come to Europe there will be someone that can come with me.  Here's some pictures:

The SS Great Britain, I took a tour this is the first Steam Powered ship that crossed the Atlantic, it made the world smaller and they have a jet engine from the Concode aircraft in the museum too which also made the world smaller.
