Flowers and Pirates

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 2, 2011, 12:08 AM


Last week :iconaquaassassin: and I went to the Fortress Kijkduin and the Oranjerie of Den Helder for a visit to both attractions (attractions? well... it's not overly huge but still fun to visit) We've seen a lot of local history, sight seeing throughout the most boring town ever to be built and spend a particularly good time getting our faces kissed by the tremendous winds from sea.

---

Every Tuesday I will join the local attraction of Den Helder in Napoleonic militar uniform for the tourists and kids, to see if they can aim a little bit. Damn... I want to copy that uniform, if only to have it XD Aqua gave me the most beautiful compliment yesterday, about the pic at my FB: she wondered who that guy was...

---

Yesterday :iconaquaassassin: and I went to the Dutch Navy days, where we've seen stunning demonstrations such as "anti-piracy demo" and "apache demonstration" along with "a landing in enemy territory" and the showing of the latest beauty of the Dutch Royal Airforce: the NH-90 helicopter. Brute thing tried to drown my camera with the spray generated from hovering above water >.<

We've spotted hawt soldiers (especially the Russians... damn they're hawt) With their pancake hats and got spotted by equally hawt soliders (with and without shirt) The arms.... the chests... the bums XD *girly hormones kicking in* We've fraternised with the officers and had a particularly good time joining in some exorcises such as being passenger in a caterpillar and abseiling. I hated the last, but it was below my dignity not to do it, if Aqua did it as well. The man had to shove me off the tower... *scared to death. Where's :iconblastebird: arm to hold on to when you need him? Far away in Down Under Land.... >.< *

We even had our own dogtags made, FF7 style of course XD

Afterwards it was particularly good pizza with Tangled and making more cosplayplans  of course, before Aqua went home once again... *sniffles*

See you soon sweetheart!

:iconsamhawkeye: I hope to see you soon too! :glomp: You graduated student you!
