"We move through miracle days, spirit moves in mysterious ways."

I'm back! Wonderful, wonderful trip, the hotel was fantastic and the weather was so warm it felt like summer. Also, lots of cosplayers, and shopping, and even an amazing concert with japanese instruments. On to the pictures!


This was our hotel. I kid you not. A freaking real medieval tower, we were on the second floor on top of a bakery, and you can't imagine the amazing smell of bread that filled the air. There were frescos on the walls, and the windows had stained glass, and it felt like something from a dream.


Exposure of real face alert! Me and my new haircut and my boobs. I gained some weight this last summer and holy crap I got it all where I wanted it. Me so happy.


I got in some kind of crazy shopping fever. Don't judge me, we skipped two years, I had a lot to buy. From the top, from left to right: a Totoro bag, Totoro plushie (soooo soft), Kingdom Hearts shirt, Arrietty Soundtrack, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto (because it was there), Final Fantasy XIII Piano Collection, D.Gray-Man artbook, 70 years of Marvel Collection, first volume of Dark Tower, Totoro artbook.


Didn't want to take these two off the shelf, the Namine one is so amazing I have no words. There are tiny Sora, Goofy and Donald running up the stairs. It left me speechless when I saw it, and I just *had* to buy it.


The Tooth Fairy and Jorgen Von Strangle from Fairly Odd Parents. They even had the Da Rules book. Among the best cosplayers I have ever seen.


These guys were strolling around the medieval streets of Lucca and were so like the movie it was scary.


And here's another movie I used to watch every day as a child. I'm feeling like watching it again right now. :D


Two Doctors and Captain Jack in my country. This is beyond unbelievable. And they had a fucking life-size K9 on a leash, and the Fourth Doctor offered me a jelly baby and it was the tastiest thing ever just before my brain collapsed.


Fem!Eleven and the Tardis. I'm starting to regain faith in my country. We have pretty amazing people here, who knew.


More proof, here's Sheldon Cooper as the Doppler Effect. And the universe shut down because it couldn't stand all the awesomeness.

I've been back less than a day, and I'm trying to catch up with all my series, so right now my brain is a big soup of "they quoted Pulp Fiction on Supernatural and guess who's Honeybunny", "I can't believe there's only one episode of Downton Abbey left", "I'm in love with the Evil Queen and Maleficent" and "see you in hell Sheldon with no commas". And I still have a couple of things left to watch. ♥

Oddio, sono tutti stupendissimi, ma la fata dei dentini e Jorgen Von Strangle e Sheldon/Effetto dopler sono il meglio del meglio! Idoli assoluti! XD

Welcome back!

Gosh, I need you to go to places and take snaps and write blurbs, and I need this to be all you do.:D This post is so awesome, and I haven't forgotten your previous great posts from your holiday!

All these costumes, goodness! Sheldon, as the Doppler Effect, SHELDON AS THE DOPPLER EFFECT! (I don't capslock. You made me capslock.)

I imagine you had the best of times! I'm very glad for you!:)

I should carry my camera with me more often, pictures make for pretty funny lj entries. :D Cosplayers are the best, you see them, squee like a police car siren, grab them and hug them and make them pose for you and they even thank you afterwards. :D

That Sheldon was unbelievable, so much like the real thing except that he was really nice to us. Even when I did the Doppler Effect demonstration. "He's the Doppler Effect! Nyyyyyaaaaaaahn!" XD

Stupendi i cosplayers e tanta tanta invidia per l'hotel: torre medievale e PURE il profumo del pane? Questo è troppo! :D

Questa è la prima volta che non ho incrociato nessuno che conoscessi, stranissimo.

Che bello il nuovo taglio di capelli! :) E che bello il vostro hotel! Posso chiedere dove l'avete trovato e quanto avete speso più o meno? :P Solo perchè stavo pensando di stare due giorni l'anno prossimo, in un giorno si vede proprio poco!


E che bella la borsa di Totoro <3 <3
Haha li ho visti anche io quei due (la Tooth Fairy etc.)! Avevano un sacco di pose diverse! Per mettersi in posa per me ci hanno messo qualche minuto :D Haha! Bellissimi comunque!

Oddio la Phone Box di Dr. Who! :D Fantastica!
Grazie per le foto e che bella entry :)

L'hotel l'abbiamo trovato online, su questo sito -> http://www.itwg.com/ Ci sono solo quattro camere e sono già tutte riprenotate per l'anno prossimo, ma in ogni caso in zona ce ne sono tanti. Se vuoi beccare un hotel in centro ti consiglio di prenotare massimo entro dicembre, la concorrenza è spietata. Come prezzo in due per due notti abbiamo speso 300 euro.

Questo Lucca è stato proprio il Lucca di Totoro, anche al concerto hanno suonato la sigla finale del film. :D

Haha ma wow!!! Si prenota un anno per l'altro, allucinante!!! o.O Grazie comunque! Adesso mi metto a guardare! <3

E fidati, prenota in città o lascia perdere. Non ci sono treni aggiuntivi, e i pochi vagoni per i pendolari vengono riempiti da migliaia di persone ogni mattina e sera, è allucinante.

Quest'anno il Luccac&g è stato assolutamente fantastico!! Io ci sono andata sabato e finalmente per la prima volta ho beccato il sole! Anche io ho incontrato il gruppo del Mago di Oz, ma quanto sono fantastici?? *_* e ho comprato anche delle belle cosette, mi ritengo ultra-soddisfatta, anche se era meglio il mio travestimento dell'anno scorso (ero una vampira, quest'anno una geisha steampunk con la katana perchè non mi veniva in mente niente XD)

[identity profile] nausicaa83.livejournal.com 2011-11-04 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Il sole mi era capitato, ma un caldo così mai, ci è andata davvero di lusso. :D

[identity profile] obscuritystar.livejournal.com 2011-11-04 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Vero vero, si stava proprio bene! :D

Thank you for commenting, and a special thank you because coming from such a brilliant photographer as you are that's a wonderful comment that just sent me into fits of happy giggles. *__________*
