It was a delightful November day as I waited at the DLR station, with a vast array of Mortals, both old and young. The sun was shining as we stood on the platform waiting for our carriage which would shuttle us towards adventure!

Upon arriving at the Excel I was impressed by the venue. It was easily accessible from the DLR, with a stop right outside the centre, and I held my breath with excitement as I made my way inside.

The Excel is a huge, cavernous venue, and every inch of it was filled with things to see and do.
