| This is what my dreams are often about; me floating in a blue box above Denmark... |
One word to describe the Doctor Who Experience: FAN-tastic! It was the best exhibition I have EVER been to! If you're not a Doctor Who fan, I suggest you leave my blog at once! Shame on you! This blog entry will be PACKED with photos from my enjoyable day out at the DWE! Geronimo!
So let's start from the very beginning! It was my Autumn holidays and I've been dreaming for a long time to visit the Doctor Who Experience. I know a lot of my Australian friends would love to go to it but because it's on the other side of the world it's pretty impractical (unless you own your own Tardis- but in that case the exhibition would be rather pointless...) so this was a real dream come true!

| That's funny... I don't remember anything being behind me when I took the photo ;) |
It's difficult trying to explain to people in Denmark what Doctor Who is about. Telling them that it's about a time-travelling alien flying around in a police box with a screwdriver doesn't exactly help them understand it... Anyway! I found my way through the city of London alone pretty well, including the many different overground and underground trains to get there- and I made it all in one piece! I get so proud of myself sometimes :)

| The authentic interior set of David Tennant's Tardis! |
The first 30 minutes was a real experience! You were a part of the adventure, where the 11th Doctor talks to you and guides you through some big screens! The Tardis magically appears and you enter it where it really is bigger on the inside! It looked identical to the Tardis used in the current show! You then get to fly it and the floor actually moves around! It was amazing! Then Daleks come towards you, threatening to exterminate me and you also had to walk through the forest of the Weeping Angels! It was creepy but I loved every moment of it! The adventure was very well made and I smiled through the entire experience!

| Here's a handful of the many great monsters I saw :D |
Then came the big exhibition where you can get up close with many of the monsters! There were SO MANY to see and I could have spent a whole year there! There was also all of the 11 doctors' and the latest assistants' clothes on display, and a lot of small props used in the show too!
 |
| Probably my favourite monster- The Silence! They're deliciously creepy yet stylish at the same time ;P |
My wallet certainly became lighter after I visited the Souvenir shop! As I left the Doctor Who Experience, I imagined a camera tracking into a close-up of my face, with Vale Decem being played in the background and where I would take a brief pause until saying "I don't want to go!"

| The Olympic Stadium for the 2012 London Olympics! |
My trip to London wasn't just spent hanging around with Daleks and Sontarans (though I wish it was!)! I saw a few other things, such as the brand new Olympic Stadium which will be the centre of attention of the world next year! I'm looking forward to when the entire stadium's crowd vanishes, and then reappear again ;)
I also got a photo with the Countdown at the famous Trafalgar Square! My English relatives also had a surprise for me- they had booked tickets for me to see the musical called Les Miserables at a theatre in London. That was certainly a different experience compared to taking a ride in the Tardis!! Pretty sure which one I preferred too ;)
I visited my wonderful English relatives and met some people I've never met before who are in fact family! My English relatives took me to the near-by "beach". I wrote beach in "" because technically it's more an inlet. I laughed so hard when I discovered this sign at the beach!!
An award winning beach!!??! According to who? The tide was out, the sand was in fact quicksand-like mud and made the whole thing look filthy and grey and in the horizon you could see factories polluting the air! It wasn't exactly Noosa Heads!
So that was my Autumn holidays! It was a whole bunch of fun!
