| Finally there!! |
When we were in London my dad and I decided to go to the Who Shop (a Doctor Who themed store). I am a big fan of Doctor Who and thought it would be an enlightening experience. On the tram from Gatwick Airport I met a kid who said that the Who Shop was great yet he had never been there.
Our route seemed easy… we would take the Hammersmith & City tube line to Upton Park and then walk ten minutes. Unfortunately many of the tube lines were closed for maintenance and we ended up taking four trains instead of one! I was so excited when we finally got to Upton Park I speed walked to and even ran the last few hundred feet to the Who Shop.

I am sorry to inform you that the Who Shop was a bust. I had watched the 10th and 11th doctors (like James Bonds) but the Who Shop was focused on the first nine. Posters, pens, key chains, and action figures all irrelevant time interests. That huge journey seemed pointless.
There was a Doctor Who museum with a TARDIS for an entrance (pretty cool!!) but even the museum was focused on doctors 1-9. I did like the cool space blasters and awesome guns. Even though the shop a bust the museum helped made the journey marginally worth it.
After the Who Shop we walked dejectedly to a Tesco Express (English equivalent of 7/11) and got wraps and sodas. That was probably the best part of the morning
It was quite an adventure and I am glad that I got to spend the time with my dad but I would not recommend it to any one who has not seen the first 9 doctors!

Dear Jacob,
Great to hear about your day straight from you.
Hope you'll write some notes about your life in Barcelona (in English, please, I don't speak Spanish).
love
Anita
