I am tired. It's 1:00 in the morning here and I should be asleep but it's been a busy two days.
So got into London yesterday, about an 8 hour flight, and right after we got to the hotel we went out again. We probably should have taken a nap before going sightseeing, but hey, we didn't have much time so might as well make the most of it. Saw all the usual stuff: the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, etc. It's crazy busy here. The weather's nice so I guess it brings out all of the tourists.
But so far, the highlight of the trip has definitely got to be the Doctor Who Experience. :-) The only thing that I can compare it to is the Star Trek: the Experience that used to be in Las Vegas. An interactive bit with a museum section
( Squeeing about the Doctor Who Experience )
And Ten would have liked this: there's a little shop at the end. Full of Doctor Who merchandise. There was a lot of stuff, but I was limited to things easily transportable, so I settled on a fridge magnet. Incidentally, the only magnets they sold were of Four. I think they missed out on a great opportunity here. Where were the TARDIS magnets? And the sonic screwdriver magnets? And the fez shaped magnets? My sister said they should have sold fezzes, too. Oh well. As part of my ticket package, I also got a voucher for a free t-shirt so that was nice. It's actually not half bad. It has the TARDIS in the Time Vortex on the front and it "Doctor Who Experience" on the sleeve. I had to get a large youth's t-shirt since I'm so short, but at least it won't be too long on me.
All in all, it was a fun little detour. I mean, I came all this way, might as well spend the money and have some fun. Tomorrow, new Doctor Who! Oh, and some wandering around Edinburgh, too.
