This should actually have been part of my 2009 England trip pictures, but somehow I never continued with that... *fails* So, better late than never. ;-)

We spent two days in Blackpool (only a couple of hours each though). Which you can probably tell from the pictures, because the first evening it was very cloudy and a bit stormy, and the second day the weather was very nice with mostly blue sky (although still a bit windy). I probably wouldn't want to spend my whole holidays in Blackpool (2-3 days would be alright), but I really enjoyed the place! And somehow I like being in (British) amusement arcades. :D *lol*

This picspam is slightly longer, as I had about 250(!) photos of Blackpool and just wasn't able to narrow them down to a maximum of 45... So I ended up with 58 pics which was still very hard work, believe me. ;D

Pepsi Max Big One and some Doctor Who decorations \o/

The Doctor Who Exhibition closed a bit later that year, by the way. Pity I didn't know then, otherwise I would have gone to see it after all... :-( (Didn't now, because I had just been to the one in Cardiff a couple of days earlier.)

And finally, here's a bonus pic of me. Sorry about that! ;-) *lol*
