Keeping with the theme of returning our hire car on vapors, we decided to do a day trip out to Cardiff Bay to see two things:
- The Doctor Who Experience (cheesy tourist thing with a Dr Who Museum type thing attached with lots of props from the show).
- The fountain under which the rebuilt Torchwood institute lies (shut up, it’s real).
Cardiff is a real mash of different buildings…there are the old ones, the newer ones that almost but not completely fail to match the old style, and then there are contemporary things that are different again. However it does have a tear in space-time.
The Doctor Who Experience cost us 15 pounds each, and was a guided tour for the first 25 mins and then we got to roam through the museum at the back with all the props and displays of the different insides from the Tardis (super cool). The guided tour bit was loaded with lots of stringy fatty cheese, but it was way cool!! They had Matt Smith record footage just for us as Doctor Who, and the scenario was that we had been picked up by the Tardis (we got to fly it too!), captured by Daleks and beamed aboard their ship (they were all around us shrieking ‘EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!’..so exciting we almost wet ourselves!). Very cheesy, but omg…even Isaac wants to marry Doctor Who. We’d be his companions anytime.
