Best Easter Egg Ever...

Firstly Happy Easter everyone :0) I've been a little down in the dumps recently but today I've made a decision to be happy and smiley from now on...I promise (until the next time something gets me down haha!)

Anyway, I got this egg for Easter:

Isn't he just the coolest??? I'd like to say the Easter Bunny knows me well ;0) I just don't think I'll be able to eat him...he looks far too cute and penguins are my favourite animals! 

Here's a silly picture of me with my bunny ears on (it's Easter, why not???)

Cruise Ship Dress...

I bought a lovely dress on the Cruise ship made by a gorgeous lady called Shuna...

Here is a picture of me on the cruise ship and also back home:

I think it is something a bit different and I love my dress/skirt :0)...I wanted it to be a bit versatile so being able to wear it with leggings and a long sleeved top is as important as wearing it in the summer with some pretty sandals...

I hope you like my dress/skirt and maybe check Shuna's website out, she is also on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/shuna.marrison.9?fref=ts...she is a wholesaler but I think she will make things if you email her I believe...:0)

Canaries Cruise March 2O13...

Well we got back from our Canaries Cruise on the 12th (Tuesday) and we had a fabulous time...I took well over 600 photos so here are a few of them and you can see the rest here: Canaries Cruise 2013 I am going to let you know what we did (the brief version and I think the photos tell the rest!!!)...

~ our lounge...

~ our bathroom...

We were staying in a suite (so we had a little bit more room) and this meant that we had a butler, concierge and we were shown to our room when we first arrived :0) we also had our own designated area in the theatre and got delivered treats every afternoon...wow!!! We were not expecting any of this kind of treatment but it did make our cruise that little bit more special...

An example of the treats we had delivered to our cabin!

Our view from our special seats in the Theatre!

We were meant to cruise out of Barcelona, have a couple of sea days then go to Madeira, Tenerife, Lanzarote, a sea day, Malaga, then a sea day back to Barcelona to go home...but there was an area of low pressure in the Atlantic so our captain changed his route to make the 2 sea days a bit more bearable, so instead of heading for Madeira we headed for Lanzarote instead...good thing he did because we rolled about enough, by the time we reached Lanzarote I was fed up of bouncing up and down!!!

Our beautiful ship ~ the Norwegian Spirit...

Can you see our cabin???

Okay so in Lanzarote (our first stop) it was a bit overcast as we got off so we headed out for a bit of a wander and neglected the suncream thinking we would not need it! Boy were we wrong, about half an hour into our wander the sun was shining brightly so we went off back to the ship to change into more suitable clothes (shorts and t-shirt) :0) and I went back to the town to buy a charm for my Pandora bracelet (a mini cruise ship!!!) it was beautiful to see the sunshine...

Little Boats in Arrecife...

Our second port of call was Tenerife...we went whale watching!!! This was a whole day tour (or seemed like it) so we didn't see much of the island...I did get some good pictures from the ship though!

Some views of Tenerife!

Here's a couple of the best photos I got of the whales we saw...

My Mum & me on the boat!!!

Our third port of call was Madeira ~ this was my favourite island and I took a LOT of photos!!! 

In Madeira we went on a tour bus right round the city/town. We went up really high amongst the hills and once or twice we thought the bus wasn't going to make it up the hills they were that steep!!! I'd visit Madeira again on holiday I think, I thought it was a lovely place...

Then we had a sea day before arriving in Malaga, Spain. It was raining when we arrived!!! Mum and I got off for a wander when there was a break in the weather and wandered a short way into the town. It was a Sunday so there wasn't much open...

Flower Market...

Then we had a beautiful sunny sea day on the way back to Barcelona :0) it was a pity that we didn't have enough time in Barcelona before our flight so we could explore but never mind. I've been to Barcelona once before so I would like to re-visit there one day!

So as well as the beautiful sunshine we had a great cruise on board the Norwegian Spirit (apart from the bumpy ride out to Lanzarote)!!! I would highly recommend them as a cruise line to anyone...the crew are fantastic and friendly, the shows are magical and the food is divine!!!

Crew portion of the show on the final night...

Well that's a little bit about my holiday...we did so much aboard the ship that I couldn't possibly sit here and tell you all about it! It'd take hours...so go have a look at my pictures (link up towards the top of this post!) :0) I can't wait for my next cruise...Mum & Dad were talking about a possible cruise down the Panama Canal next year for Dad's 65th and it'll be my 30th next year too...cruising is so much fun and you really get treated well :0) it's the perfect way to see a few places all in one holiday! Gives you a bit of an insight into places that you could visit for a bit longer another time if you liked...

I hope that you've enjoyed reading about my holiday...thanks to you if you did!!!
