There will be a few things we take away from Ireland when it comes to TV. But likely tops in this category will be Dr. Who.
For those that don't know, Dr. Who is a BBC series that has been running since the sixties and is about a time lord that travels around the galaxies saving everyone and everything. I could try to categorize it but wouldn't likely do it justice. Just imagine every sci-fi show you've ever seen combine with every time travel show you've ever seen. Now run the series for 50 years.
Well in Cardiff, they have a venue where Dr. Who fans flock to. And our kids are fans. (their parents are fond of it too). So we planned a day in Cardiff. Ok, it is kind of like a star trek museum, but they also have a 30 minute piece where you are inside a Dr Who scene which was very neat. Pack in 50 years of props, costumes, and a gift shop, and you come out a couple of hours later fully entertained with some t-shirts and a Dalek Christmas ornament.
We had an impromptu picnic on the promenade and made or way back to Cardiff castle by water bus for some more traditional tourism where we saw another example of how extreme wealth/power and a desire to build something kept designers and architects busy since the days of Stonehenge?
All of this occurred with sunshine and highs in the no coats or no jumpers range. Beautiful.
How do you top off a day like this? How about a little Iron Man 3? Exhausted, but had a great day with no head butting incidents.
