There can be that push and pull between trying to fit in activities and trying to kick back and relax when you book a holiday. I’m hoping that the latter half of our time in Ireland will turn out to be a little more chilled, as we have been very, very busy for the first half!
After we had been home for just 3 days, we trotted off to Cardiff to see the Doctor Who Experience. Not the easiest place to get to from Belfast, I have to say, unless you like spending loads of cash. We left early and flew to Bristol, then had to take a coach to Bristol Meads, then the train to Cardiff Central. The bus from the station was off due to a festival, so we had to hoof it down to Porth Teigr, down at the bay. We arrived at the museum about 7 hours after leaving the house – but of course, as any true Whovians will tell you, it was so worth it!
This place is due to shut down permanently in September of this year, which is such a shame. I’m glad we got to see it, though. Hopefully there will still be a way for the public to see this treasure trove of props and costumes from over 50 years of the show – if not I’ll be up front and say that I’ll take the Yeti, no probs. It’ll be like having another cat.
