There was one slight complication to the plan though. Nik and Nia were inside one of the pet shops looking at some puppies and rabbits, I think while I waited outside with Rhiannon who was asleep in the buggy. It was around midday and the light suddenly faded. It looked like it was about 8 o'clock at night. Then the rain came. Oh my word did the rain come!

We decided it was a good time to have lunch. One problem! The nearest restaurant was on the other side of the road. Nik was a little apprehensive but with my childhood in Wales I am very certain skin does not rust so I shouted' lets do it' and across the road we went. This was not a wide street I would like to add but the rain was so heavy we looked like we had been swimming in our clothes by the time we got to the other side. This amused the waitresses in this little cafe no end. They hurried and fussed around us (only because we had the children of course) and within minutes of entering we were at a table with menus, tea and hot water on our table. I will come back to the hot water thing later.

They had kindly given a menu with some English translation so it was easy to find a few dishes we wanted to try.
