My son went to Cardiff. He's not a Doctor Who fan, so that was not the reason he went. Just out of curiosity, what was the reason he went?

I've been to Cardiff twice, both times I've seen various sights but the main reasons were the exhibition. Same goes for next year, will see other things while we are there but don't see us going again without the exhibition.
Cheers
Tony

He went all over England, Wales, and Scotland during his postgraduate student year at Cambridge University. Also had a trip to Ireland (with our whole family), and a trip backpacking around Europe by himself after he graduated from Cambridge University with his Master's degree.

I only got to spend a week in Europe.

I can't remember how much time he spent, but it was more than a week. It was a good opportunity for him, since he was already on that side of the pond, so to speak.

Ok, so we are going this week (Tuesday) for the last time. Obviously we can't buy everything, or video inside the Experience but does anyone want me to take photos of anything in particular? Maybe a closeup of an outfit, prop, or (for those who've been) maybe a photo of something that didn't come out for you. I can't promise anything but if there's something you're desperate to get a copy of, pm me and I'll see what I can do. Likewise anything else in the Cardiff Bay area (I could probably spend all day at Ianto's Shrine) and we are planning on going to the Diner as well.
Cheers
Tony

Cheers Tony I think I got pictures (including my avatar picture) of pretty much everything there. If possible though, can you steal Bessie for me? That was the Doctor Who item I wanted the most, and for some reason they weren't selling it in the gift shop.

That was the Doctor Who item I wanted the most, and for some reason they weren't selling it in the gift shop. I tried, I really did... I just couldn't get her back end in my pocket After 3 visits, it's nice to see there are still a few surprises. Handprints! Oh my God, handprints! 7 year old was terrified of the Daleks and Weeping Angels this time. It just goes to show how we change as we age (wasn't bothered when he was 5). Being a fan boy I always tear-up when I see Matt Smith, but this time I cried when I saw John Hurt. Yeah, I'm not scared to show emotion! Cheers Tony

I was on holiday and had just arrived as a man in full 6th Doc outfit came out and said
"I'm just talking her out for a last spin hop in"
So I transferred form my wheelchair to the passenger seat and proceeded to be driven through the town.

I just hope you realize that I have never been more jealous of anyone ever.
