Rachel's Next Adventure

I have recently got into collecting Funko POP! figures, I don't intend on collecting a lot of them, just the ones I want the most. Right now I want a Magneto, Armoured Baymax and God Goku. My 'Grail' POP! is the San Diego Comic Con exclusive unmasked Tony Stark, if I could only get one more figure for the rest of my life, it would be that. I've collected a few of them before now - the original Stitch, Steamboat Willie, Chococat, Badtz Maru, Sheldon Cooper and I bought my fiancé the Roger Rabbit POP for Valentines day. Since then I have collected these: I NEEDED this set as I am a huge Stitch fan, I bought them from Animez. I had to order 626 from Pop In A Box, it took a while to get here but i'm so glad he's in my collection now. I bought Dancing Groot so he can bobble along on my dashboard, but i've still not figured out how i'm going to stick him on there. I saw this Hiro Hamada on Zavvi when I ordered Gro...

I didn't take many photographs while I was in London, which is weird because I usually take a lot! Here are the highlights from the SeaLife Aquarium. My favourite bits were walking through the tunnel and the penguin area but I loved watching the turtles too, I didn't get a good photograph of them, but they're in my aquarium video. There was one turtle trying to slowly climb on top of another turtle, the other turtle wasn't too happy about it!  The seahorses and jellyfish were fun to watch too, their movements are so interesting.

I've never actually done a haul post before, they're not really my thing but I like to read them funnily enough! I'm not going to show everything I bought (mainly because I didn't take any photos of the things I bought on our last day!) but here is the majority of what we spent our money on over our weekend in London: Namco FunScape Technically, we didn't buy these (or the keyrings and sweets we got on our final day) as we paid to play the games and then bought these prizes with the tickets, but anyway!. These sweets were a nice treat for on the long, and slightly delayed train home. Cyber Candy So we practically bought the shop... There wasn't as much that I wanted this year compared to last year (no Dragonball Z cola, NeriAme or Popin' Cookin') but I still found quite a few things I wanted! A few things in the photo are for my Mam and Brother though so its not all for me! Cool Britannia Cool Britannia is the...

You may have already seen my previous review of this hotel over here , and this trip was pretty much the same so I don't have too much to write about it. I did take a tour video so you can see around the room, you can see that below. The hotel is well located, just a few minutes walk away from a tube station, Tesco, Waitrose, Nando's, Yo Sushi and a GBK. Check in is at 2pm and checking your luggage into storage is free when you're checking in, and 50p an item when checking out. The view from our room wasn't very good, we've never had a good view from the room in this hotel yet. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms have a good amount of space. There is a hairdryer and kettle provided along with tea and coffee, which they top up daily if you use the ones provided. They have vending machines in the lobby way for drinks, snacks and icecream but you'll find your drinks and snacks cheaper in the nearby Tesco (opposite the tube station). At...

We got up around the same time as yesterday for breakfast and then finished packing our cases while we watched Jeremy Kyle - it was a gloomy day and a raining a little bit so we didn't want to check out too early as we would be stuck out in the cold once we left! Our first stop was Tokyo Toys as there is a Naruto plush i've wanted from there for ages but just never got it, but I finally have it now although its still in the Tokyo Toys carrier bag as i've not finished unpacking half of the stuff we bought! Because of the badish weather over the weekend i'd had to leave my photos for the final day as the forecast was supposed to be sunny and no rain, but just as I was finishing my first set of photos by the London eye it started raining! The rain wasn't very heavy though and it soon stopped. While it was raining we headed into Namco FunScape and played a few games, and I of course got a fresh candy floss! it was a lot quieter today than during the weekend ...

We got up around 7:30am and got ready before heading down for breakfast, as it was a Sunday we decided to take things slow as nothing was due to open until 10am. Our first stop of the day was Covent Garden where we headed to Shake Shack for lunch before heading down towards the London Eye to visit the Aquarium as we've never been there before. We had already bought our tickets to London's SeaLife Aquarium at our hotel's ticket office so we went straight to the priority entry queue and within a few minutes we were in! Although it was pretty busy because it was a rainy Sunday, and it was also Mother's Day, it didn't take too long to see everything, although you did have to queue up at each viewing window. Theres quite a lot to see here and there was also a SpongeBob SquarePants movie event going on for little children but that was just a temporary thing and I think its only on for another week or so. After the aquarium we headed next do...

As we were catching an early train from Sunderland to London we had to get up at 4:30 in the morning, that wouldn't be too bad only neither of us could sleep! I struggle to get to sleep quite often, but my fiancé was stuck in a big conversation with a lot of people he went to primary school with after he posted a photo of their year one class photograph. The conversation is still going on now! I'd tell you how many comments the photo has so far but Facebook seem to have removed the comment count. The train ride was pretty uneventful, and boring, for most of the journey we couldn't get any mobile internet and the free wifi on the train is only worth about 15minutes of online time. We had taken comics and the iPad to keep us entertained over the journey but in the end we never took them out of the bag and spent the entire journey talking about a website we've been discussing relaunching. We got to the hotel at around 11am, as usual we were staying at the Roya...
