We got thoroughly lost in Cardiff but with some excellent navigation from me (yeah, I know I'm supremely modest *g*) we found our way to where we wanted to be, only to find that the Cardiff Food & Wine Festival was in the process of being set up - right where I wanted to stand on THE Paving Stone!
DRABBIT!
However, we did the Dr Who Up Close & Personal exhibit after drinking the weakest and un-foamiest capuccino's we'd ever had. Seriously, not a drop of foam on either cup! Plus we thought the waitress looked and seemed rather like Pheobe out of Friends, and they didn't seem to have a till!
Once we'd cleaned out the Dr Who store (yet more for the package to be mailed home!) we wandered over to the Roald Dahl Plass where the water tower is, to find it blocked off and decorated with strawberries
(the theme of the festival apparently). Still, I was able to get photos of the tower and the Milennium Centre and then we walked down to the water's edge and down to the lower walkway.I was convinced that the wooden door in the wall at the end of the boardwalk was the entry into the Hub - Sue wasn't. Until three young girls, all wearing the Dr Who exhibition wristbands walked up beside us in even more fangirl mode than me and started taking photos of the door.
We wandered around some more, found the Cardiff visitor centre which is inside the fuselage of some kind of plane (not sure what type of plane exactly) and found some more souvenirs to buy.
Then we headed back to the caravan park where we are now watching Day Four of Children of Earth - Torchwood.
