Breakfast with very good coffee at Tredegar Arms, and we're off to Cardiff. Our first stop is Merthyr Tydfil, where we're following the route 46.

Just as it reaches Merthyr Tydfil, the 46 takes a long detour around Merthyr, so since we didn't plan to spend a lot of time in this town, we decided to get off the route and instead make our own way into the city centre. Unfortunately, the 46 was so pleasant to ride on that we missed our turn. Fortunately, the detour we've taken wasn't bad at all and we enjoyed our ride towards Dowlais.

The High Street in Merthyr Tydfil was so crowded we only had some coffee at Costa and left soon.

The rest of the trip was very easy and uneventful, but definitely not boring because of the stunning views.

We had a lunch break in Pontypridd, a place we both found very beautiful.
