the country mouse goes out to the big city.

Last night I and my two best friends went for an evening down Cardiff bay.  It was for my friend’s birthday.  We went to a restaurant/ bar called Tera Nova. It was amazing. From the outside the building looks like an ultra modern establishment. But within it’s a completely different story. It’s like as my friend Katie described a castle. It’s huge. I swear they have used the same technology that the Doctor uses on his Tardis. (What do you mean the Tardis isn’t real? of course it is you silly people!)  The decoration is exquisite and we walked around it a few times just so we could fully see what it was all like. The food was okay, nothing special, but then again not ridiculously pricey which I was expecting from the bay. The wine however... Lovely! And very strong. After one bottle I was texting my boyfriend things that I am now mortally embarrassed about and deny all responsibly or memory off.  By the second bottle me and Katie were happily outside playing in the rock pool, while Becky looked on willing I believe for us to fall in. 


 I am glad to say I wasn’t as bad as Katie who quite happily walked into the centre of an outdoor stage and preformed ‘I am little tea pot’ to everyone who walked past.  I have never laughed so hard in my life.
It was a lovely evening. The bay is full of fascinating places and people, good for someone like me who enjoys people watching and making up stories about their lives. Good for people like Becky and Katie who happily stared at some guys all the way through dinner. Though I have to admit the guys were also staring right back (go girls).
I am not one for going out clubbing, as I find all the people crushed together a little bit oppressive. But I do like the bars they have in the bay. Enough people for it to be interesting but not so many that you forget where your body begins and the other person’s body starts.
I hope to have many more nights down the bay with the girls.
