The Doctor Who Experience

General 

Elliott was mainly good today. At a few points he did get upset about having to stop playing Pokemon Go which led to some chats about how it's good to other things and how he can't play on a phone all the time. He did apologise after the chats, after some stubborness, and by the end of the day was telling us that he liked Pokemon Go but he liked lots of other things too.

Activities

In the morning we had cereal for breakfast in the Youth Hostel and then walked to Cardiff Bay. We had a spy trail activity to do in the Bay so we walked around the Bay searching for clues in the landmarks there including the Norwegian Seafarers Church where Roald Dahl used to go and the Millennium Centre. This was good fun and we did some Pokemon hunting during our search for clues, although this was the first time he got a bit upset when I asked him to stop hunting after about half an hour playing. After we'd done about two thirds of the trail it was time for lunch at Pizza Express where Elliott had dough balls, past burro and a brownie for desert:

After lunch it was time for the Doctor Who Experience:

The first part of the Experience was an interactive adventure where we (and some others) helped The Doctor defeat some time stealer mosters (that looked like obstacles). At first Elliott seemed a bit scared but as soon as we went in to the second room (which was the Tardis control panel) and we had to help fly the Tardis he started laughing and really enjoying it. We had to walk through a trail with Weeping Angels and then we ended up in a room with Daleks where we say a 3D video and we helped collect all the crystals needed. After the interactive part we went in to a museum part where there were lots of costumes and monsters from the show and also some more Tardis control panels:

There was also a video showing how to walk like a Scarecrow monster and a Cyberman and a Dalek to control:

After the museum we looked around the shop and bough a toy Tardis. After we left we finished the spy trail in the wetlands area of the Bay. This was the second time that Elliott got upset about Pokemon Go as after he'd started hunting the phone battery ran out. But after a chat he said sorry again and we got on with finishing the clues and the trail. Then it was time to talk back to the Youth Hostel and we bought some bread and ham on the way back so when we got back we could make sandwiches in the kitchen there for our tea. After tea he brushed his teeth and went to bed.
