Last weekend I visited Cardiff, and being a Doctor Who and Torchwood fan, I was extremely excited about having the chance to go to the place where they filmed it. Unfortunately it was pouring down with rain and my friends and I walked from the town centre to the bay and we were absolutely drenched. I looked and felt like a wet dog, plus the wind was so strong, so hair was flying all over the place and umbrellas were blowing inside out and rendered completely useless (hence why we were completely soaked).
But despite that downside, we made the most of the day, walking down the main street where there was a German themed Christmas stall market, which was adorable and made the terrible weather look less terrible. Christmas just makes everything seem better.
For lunch, we had burritos which were delicious, especially since I've been craving burritos for weeks and hadn't done anything about it until then. I love Mexican food so much! And that gave us enough energy to brave the elements, which led us to...
The most bizarre part of the day was walking along the water and coming across the Ianto Shrine. For those who don't know who Ianto is, he is a character from Torchwood who (spoilers) dies in 'The Children of Earth' mini series. It was strange coming across it because I had no idea that they had created it, which I thought was so sweet, even though I thought Owen and Tosh's deaths were sadder to be honest. But that is an example of how much Doctor Who and it's spin-off's mean to people.
Afterwards, we went into a shop that sold freshly backed Welsh Cakes which were really nice. It was sort of like a shortbread biscuit and mini pancake, with sultanas in it and others with chocolate chips. It was a good day and even though we had to travel six hours in total to get there, as a Doctor Who fan, it was totally worth it.
