It's irrelevent where I live.

However I am eternally grateful that I don't live in Newport. Where as New York is nicknamed 'The city that never sleeps', Newport is rightfully known as 'The city that never wakes up'

You will be blown away by the delightful views of the crystal clear unpolluted waters of the river Usk bordered by neatly manicured swathes of lush green grass from your luxury railway carriage as you glide effortlessly across the river bridge on the 8:30 Aviva Trains Wales service from Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.

Newport is truly a modern day garden of Eden.




If anyone is considering staying in Newport for Millenium Magic I have just one word for you.

Reconsider.

My old man is coming down and wanted me to find him a room last week and it was proving fruitless, he even suggested Newport as an option. I hence doubled my efforts and managed to get him a twin rlhererl for £50 per night. Not bad I thought.

Gets some excellent reviews too.

I was surprised it was so cheap and still available. It usually hosts weddings and teacher courses, within walking distance of a two for one gastro pub too. Will have to get him to buy me some grub.

Decided just to stay Sunday night now instead and managed to get a premier inn room for £29 2 miles outside of the city centre
