what type of places toy want?

posh upmarket type places where the yupies drink?

or just pub type area's?

or do you want to eb bouncing around with a glow stick till 4am?

or gay bars where you can just go look at lesbians and have a nice night

as fopr activites, as lognas you got a car to get to you to places, theres karting (outdoor) and paintballing just about 35mins up the road from central town

or there's off road on quads in pontypridd

thats where you want to stay,, cheap,,, 2 mins walk from central station, above a nightclub

if you want to go upmarket, theres a few options

http://www.hilton.co.uk/cardiff?WT.srch=1
which is 2 mins walk from everywhere

http://www.thestdavidshotel.com/
5 mins taxi ride from the bars, but a very nice hotel! and normally where the stars stay if in cardiff

not the yupies pubs or the glow stick places but after a few you never know where we end up. did see there is a lap dancing club open till 5am

And for the gay clubs.. could be worth it to watch the girlies as long as there is no man love aimed towards me.

top one looks good just going to give them a bell.
we are all aged between 25-30. if we stayed at the travel lodge in central cardiff would it be easy enough to get a mini bus to get to the go karting track.
have they got a web site?
thanks alot for all your help.

best go-karting track in wales! outdoors, book a minibus would be no problem to take you to llandow

theres also an indoors one within walking distance of the travel lodge on st mary street, but it isnt as good as llandow


you would enjoy this aswell

Yeh paint balling is always good one. might worry the preety boys in the group about the bruises though.
