You've seen my photos of the street art I found in Cardiff, but the real reason for our trip was to visit the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay.
I LOVED it! You go on a little adventure, where you 'drive' the TARDIS and get terrified by some weeping angels, then you're free to look at lots of the original sets, props and costumes from the series. I was disgustingly over excited, despite having a horrible cold for the whole trip (I had to keep going for lie downs in our lovely, comfy travelodge bed!).
The first two photos are of Roald Dahl Plass and the Millenium Centre, where lots of Doctor Who and Torchwood are filmed (they're not part of the Doctor Who Experience, but they're on the way as you're walking there), the rest are of the collection of Doctor Who stuff you see after your adventure.
My favourite characters, apart from the Doctor (my favourite Doctor is David Tennant) are River Song, K-9, Madame Vastra, Captain Jack and Strax, so I was really happy to see lots of their things. Also Matt Smith's Doctor's cool bow tie!
Lovely to read more of your day in Cardiff. I've not done the Dr Who Experience yet.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun! We felt a bit silly on our 'adventure', especially as it there were no kids there while we were going through, so us adults had to awkwardly take part in stuff that was probably designed for kids to do, it did mean there was enough space for us all to have a go at driving the TARDIS though! :)
