"I'm concentrating very hard on NOT peeing on you."

- Is what my boyfriend said to me in the morning a couple of days ago. How very romantic. xD

So we finally came back from holiday! I haven't updated as we've been going from country to country and due to all the excitement I haven't really wanted to, as I haven't had any time for uploading pictures. But that has now changed as I am back! So this post is just a slight picture spam. I took over 350 photos on our little journey, but I'm only showing about 20. (Cos I can't be bothered to resize and touch-up more of them.)

On we go! First we wen't to Disneyland Paris (to acquire a new Stitch) to have some downtime. We'd booked the tickets and hotel on one of their flash sales, so we had two nights stay, three days hopper tickets, and breakfast for less than £400. For two people- so less than £200pp. And the best part is? We stayed at the Hotel New York! SCORE! It's a 4-star hotel, so normally you pay about double of what we paid. We've stayed at Santa Fe and Cheyenne before, which were good, but New York was amazing, especially due to the location-  no need to take a shuttle bus as the hotel is about 5 minutes away from the parks. Buuut anyway- pictures, and then more talk!

Plaza Gardens Restaurant in Disney Park- quite nice. We've previously been there for lunch and breakfast- both of which were very nice, but alas, this time we didn't go there, but I still wanted a picture.




Crush's Coaster - One of the best rides, but no matter when you go, the waiting times are absolutely ridiculous! We normally go to Disney when it's quiet so that there isn't as queuing, but still this particular ride always has at least a 45 minute wait, while other rides you can just run through and not queu at all! Annoying, as that means that every time we visit the park, we go to this ride only once as waiting is SOOOOO boooring!

This is no ordinary bin. This bin... is ALIVE! Very random I have to say- I've never seen this bin around before, it makes noise when you 'Push' it, and it moves around - due to a guy with a hand suspiciously in his humungous bag. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the dude in the same frame as the bin so that you could see what I mean...


My all-time favourite Disney character- STITCH! We've got five of them here at home. x3

Which one was he? And what in the heck were they called in english?! He was funny! The red stuff on his head? He stole some little girls wig and decided to boogie a bit! xD Awesooome! Another awesome character that we saw, happened the next day when I didn't have a camera; Jafar was near Hati's Outpost (was that the place's name, I can't remember), and he made a little kid cry! So amazing! The kid was scared and everyone was just laughing! Gotta love Disney villains.

And here I had a great shot of The Incredibles until Donald walked into the frame. 

It was quite hard to get pictures of the characters only, as everyone always wants to have their picture taken with them, whereas I have no desire to get into the same frame, but only want them on their own. Surprisingly enough this seems to be a picture of Stitch on his own, but in reality, there's a little boy under his hands, as I just framed the shot so that you can't see the little devil... I love the Elvis-Stitch. It's such a shame they don't sell Elvis-Stitch-plushies as I really want one of those.

Strategically framed again, as I didn't want any park-goers in the frame. Therefore you can't see the whole castle.

One thing that I love about the parks? There's so much work that has gone into making them. I really wish you could go on boat rides on the lakes and little rivers they have- see the scenery from a different angle. 

And now to Finland! This is Eetu- the crazy cat. It's torn so much of the wallpaper at my mom's. I actually didn't take any pictures in Finland beside the cat, as I've played the paparazzi there so many times already! xD

I'm not sure if I said it before, but we did the trip by car, so we needed to take a ferry from UK to France, Germany to Sweden, Sweden to Finland, Finland to Poland (where this picture's from), and back to UK from France. A looot of sailing. 

Arrival in Gdynia!

There was a (pirate) ship in the port!

A little pond near where my boyfriends parents live in Inowroclaw (sp?).

Possibly the parents cat. Not sure as it was near the church.

Have to say, the weather was interesting when we were leaving Poland- ahead of us was black clouds, and behind us a beautiful bright clouds and blue sky.

There was a very nice sunset- couldn't get very nice pictures as I was stuck in the car. (For over 12 hours... Over 20 if you exclude the ferry between France and UK)

Lot of roadworks in Poland, which made me play with shutter speeds a little bit. x3 Exposure time 1/8 seconds.

And here 0.77 seconds. :3

And that's it for pictures! Yay! 
I saw the new Dynamic Views! Looks interesting! I don't know if they would work for me, but they look coool and shiiiiny! I'm a bit over excited today I think. And I've only had two cups of coffee. Which I think should be rectified. On a different note, I took my fabric scraps, trims, and random shiny things with me from Finland! So I've got lots of stuff to make doll bits and bobs from now! I just need to brainstorm and not get lazy... I did take my big fake fur fabric as well, which means that I'll be making a couple of fur wigs! We'll see how they turn out, as I wanna try and make couple of different ones. x3 

Off to help with dinner! Onion rings, sweet potato fries, chicken breast, and blue cheese sauce, here I come!
