Doctor Who Experience
Saturday - May 2nd 2015
After we got up, we had a lovely Welsh breakfast and soon we were on our way
into the city. Unfortunately the weather was rather bad today and so we
decided to take the bus instead of the boat to the Cardiff Bay area, where the
Doctor Who Experience
was located. When we arrived, the Experience was already open and luckily a
new tour was about to start. The Doctor Who Experience is divided into two
parts. The first one, the Experience itself, takes the guests on an adventure
with the twelfth Doctor and the second part is an exhibition of the sets,
costumes and props used in the BBC TV series. The adventure with the Doctor
was entertaining, but the exhibition was a bit underwhelming. We were not
disappointed, but we expected a little bit more. Nonetheless we enjoyed our
time there and after we bought a souvenir, we left.

After the Doctor Who Experience we just walked around the Cardiff Bay area,
but since the weather got worse, we decided to have a beer at a pub. Later we
had a late lunch at
Las Iguanas, a Mexican style restaurant. I ordered the tortilla with mushrooms, Claudia
got a Mexican curry and for starter we shared nachos with guacamole. The food
was okay, but a bit on the pricey side for a chain restaurant.

After lunch we took the bus back to the inner city. We got off at the Cardiff
Castle, but instead of visiting the castle, we had a coffee and a vegan cake
at a nearby coffee house called
The Pettigrew Tea Rooms. We spent the rest of the day walking around the inner city and visiting the
local shopping center. Then we got a snack for dinner and returned to our
hotel.
