featured place in Gib: the Gibraltar Fair 2011

its that time of the year again. the Fair is an awaited event here in Gibraltar. where families enjoy the sultry summer nights with a little entertainment for everyone. last saturday, on a whim, and because it was a very nice night, the mister and i decided to take an after-dinner walk and check out the whole she-bang.

bokeh effect...or my poor attempts at it

this ride is called "Pirata", which is very reminiscent of one that i took with my sister back in the Philippines ("Anchors Away" in Enchanted Kingdom) that we swore to ever NOT take EVAH again!

care for some Dora? or SpongeBob's friend perhaps?

this looks fun! how i would love to do some Zorbing (the adult version of this) in Marbella

tweeners waiting for their turn in the middle of the razzle and dazzle

i am in love with this fake coconut :) is it maybe because its so reminiscent of home? or maybe its so kitschy i can totally see this in my balcony?

the mister just can't wait to try this booth out

and so he did...of course i know why

not bad dear! he said he would have aced it but the target was too small

well, i also found a booth i like :D £1 for 5 lucky dips and i won 2 lovely plants! score! this is probably a variegated specie from the Alocasia family

we had one like this in our front yard in Iligan. my mother called this one "manaw" or the Bird's Nest Fern (scientific name Apslenium Nidus)
