Hollies Cruise 2016

Hello! Hollie and I are back again! She did enjoy her holiday very much and so did I. Here is a post about her adventures. Note that pictures of Lifou and Mare will be coming next post since they are on a different camera and I am unsure how to get them off it. Now I apologise for the bad pictures but we had no window and when doing pictures in an artificial light, it is hard to make them nice and clear.

Hollie is in the car and ready to board the ship!

Here is Hollie and she just found a good place to make her bed.

Now just roll out the sleeping bag…

There we go, bed is made and Hollie and I are ready to explore and the ship is just about to leave port, gosh, we were both so excited!

But first, life jacket drill, Hollie has her jacket on and is ready to go to Muster station B. I will do a tutorial on this later on but at the moment there are so many things to post.

“Yes, water, water and more water, water is everywhere, no land as far as this thingey can see.”

Hollie and I decided to do a nice jog after breakfast, unfortunatly I had to carry her most of the way because after five meters she was very puffed!

Therefore, we agreed to lie down one one of the deck chairs.

When coming to our room, we found an elephant!

After a cooking show, we got to visit the kitchens, escalators brought you down there! Also there were lots of carvings and bread displays, a boat and even a fish!

Snorkling mask, Hollie coulde not understand that I needed a mask that big!

IMG_0888 (FILEminimizer)

Yipee!

IMG_0889 (FILEminimizer)

Arrrrgh! Emily, help me!!!!!!

IMG_0891 (FILEminimizer)

What will we do today?

IMG_0892 (FILEminimizer)

These look friendly!

IMG_0893 (FILEminimizer)

Or maybe not, RUN!!!!!

IMG_0863 (FILEminimizer)

Every morning Hollie had the problem what to wear, yellow or red? Patterned or simple?

IMG_0864 (FILEminimizer)

Once she had finally chosen something, there was the accesories. Thin beaded or thick? Gold or silver? Ribbon or beads? Both? Handbag? Headband ot bow?

IMG_0866 (FILEminimizer)

Also there were the jackets. Crochet or fabric? White or with silver?

IMG_0867 (FILEminimizer)

Sadly, Hollie did not much have a chance to wear her dresses above.

IMG_0861 (FILEminimizer)

Time to get organized and go home…


Hollie and I are safely home. You know what? The toy store had specials before my holiday and I bought myself the cottontail rabbit family. As well as that, the thing I won on trademe, 7 rabbits and 1 mouse like Henry Doormouse have arrived and my next post will be about them. They are stainded (2) badly and one baby rabbit has no fur on his face =(. The mouse, out of all of them is the actuall thing I wanted but I got the whole lot. Luckily, Tibitha had no stainning, a tail, staight whiskers and all of her fur, one of my favourite figures ever!

Well, tell me what you want me to post first, cottontails or  dirty and dusty figures which I have cleaned. Not my mouse story though, it is in parts and I do not want to put off introducing new figures.

    Oh Emily! thank you for sharing your cruise with us. I really enjoyed your post. So many pictures! Some of them made me laugh, like the one with the towel elephant , the one with the origami birds and the shoe slide:) Those food displays were awesome!There´s no doubt you and Hollie had a good time.I´m glad you did.

    I am so overwhelmed by the cuteness! It looks like you and Hollie had a wonderful cruise. I love all of her fabulous outfits and all the sweet details (sleeping bag, life vest, purses…) And your photos of the various shipboard activities are so clever! <3

    Wonderful- so thrilled to see all of the amusing pictures. Hollie has such beautiful outfits. I can only imagine that a five metre jog was probably a full marathon for little Hollie. She did very well.
