Third day here in Gran Canaria is now over, I’m laying on my bed and almost falling asleep… It feels like I just came. But luckily still four days ahead! I’m staying here in Lopesan Costa Meloneras hotel, the same hotel as last time. This place is just perfect, couldn’t have chosen here any other hotel. Today I couldn’t wait to start properly taking pictures, these few ones here I took yesterday, but I experienced blogger’s worst nightmare. I turned my camera on and noticed a flashing text saying error. And it didn’t work at all. I took it to several different shops selling cameras, and they all said that no one on this island would be able to fix it. Finally I believed that, and had only one choice. To buy a new camera. I knew I had to do that eventually, my old one was kind of old, but timing for this wasn’t the best one… Well, at least now I appreciate it more, being able to capture all the pretty things I see here from now on. So get ready for lots of pictures! But first, good night :-*
Kolmas päivä Gran Canarialla on nyt lopuillaan, makaan sängyssä jo ihan nukahtamispisteessä… Tuntuu kuin olisi vasta tullut, mutta onneksi vielä neljä kokonaista päivää täällä edessä. Oon Lopesan Costa Meloneras nimisessä hotellissa, jossa on aiemminkin tullut oltua, ja on tää vain niin täydellinen. En malttanut tänään odottaa, että olisin kunnolla päässyt ottamaan kuvia (nämä parit tässä otettu eilen), mutta koin bloggaajan pahimman painajaisen. Kamerassa vilkkuva teksti ‘error’. Kiikutin Nikoniani moneen eri niitä myyvään liikkeeseen, ja kaikista kuulin saman suru-uutisen. Kukaan tällä saarella ei kuulemma osaisi korjata sitä. Ei auttanut kuin valita se luotettavimman oloinen kauppa, ja ostaa uusi. Tiesin että uuden osto olisi lähitulevaisuuden suunnitelmissa, kun olihan vanha runkoni jo aika vanha, mutta ajoitus ei olisi nyt voinut olla huonompi. No nyt ainakin syytä ottaa niitä kuvia, ja paljon. Haha! Mutta ekana unta, hyvät yöt! :-*

Alice says
I know you have the money to buy a new camera but come on, you have an excellent one, one that is for extreme sports and long distance shootings, for wildlife shoots. I know what you can spend your money in: photography class.
How simple right? and also you could learn to turn your camera on and off!
marianna says
The camera was already many years old, so I knew it would have been time to buy a new updated model soon anyway. Thankfully I can use my 50mm lense in the new one too. And yes I’ve been to photography class, no need to worry about that, Alice, haha.. 😀
The Fashann Monster says
So many summer vibes, looking forward to more photos.

Are you there by yourself? Who or how is this being paid for? Affiliate links? Sponsorship? (On top of new camera, new bag, etc.)

Anyway, enjoy the rest of you holidays dear Marianna 🙂 can’t wait to see your pictures!

Sulla ei vissiin oo paljoa ystäviä? aina oot yksin reissussa, illanvietoissa, shoppailemassa.. ellei oo jotku blogibileet..mut onhan muillakin bloggaajilla muitakin ystväiä säilynyt vain kun hyvän päivän blogitutut..
kertoo jotain sun luonteesta :/
(ja vastaa tähän varmaan et kertoo jotain musta ku kommentoin, original..)
... says
Vau, ihanko tän blogin perusteella ton päättelit….. onkohan käyny mielessä että kaikki mariannan ystävät ei ees halua näkyä täällä blogissa? Ihmeellistä kun aina pitää keksiä jotaki negatiivistä ja yrittää saada toiselle huono mieli. Kertoo ehkä enemmänki sun luonteesta, että jätit tollasen kommentin.
Emilie says
Hey Marianna! I would like to know what kind of camera did you buy? I’m actually looking for a new one myself but have some trouble to chose haha 🙂 Have a wonderful stay in Spain! xoxo

3 years old camera is old?? Wow,I have mine for 7 years now!
Nina says
It probably all depends on how much you work with your camera (and where). I assume Marianna carries hers with her most places and takes hundreds of photographs a week. I am happy to hear your camera is still going strong, xx. Marianna, I am very sorry your camera broke on vacation. What terrible timing. Stay positive and try to enjoy the remaining days of your vacation!!!
Rebecca says
These pictures are so beautiful. I really want to be there right now.
Oh I know the problem with a not working camera on vacation. Luckily you solved the problem. It would be really bad if your readers can’t see all the beautiful spaces you visit during your stay in Gran Canaria.
I hope you’ll have a great week 🙂 xx

Hei! Olitko yksin reissussa? Sillä vaan kysyn, kun ollaan lähdössä kaverin kanssa kesällä lomailemaan, samantyyliseen rantakohteeseen. Mun loma alkaa kuitenkin aiemmin ja nyt houkuttaisi lähteä yksin ensimmäiseksi viikoksi, ja pohdiskelen ”pärjäisinkö” tuota aikaa yksin. Toisaalta vapaus tehdä mitä huvittaa houkuttelee, mutta toisaalta joihinkin juttuihin on kivempi olla kaveri.. Osaatko auttaa yhtään, vai lomailetko vain kenties jonkun sellaisen kanssa joka haluaa jättää itsensä blogin ulkopuolelle? 🙂

Please tell us where you got your shorts/hat from the other post, you ad wearing the shorts in this post I believe along with the nicest crocheted top ever, where is it from? Its gorgeous !
Hope your having an amazing time, sucks about the camera, but new things are always excited, so it turned out pretty great! 🙂
Have fun, looks beautiful!
Love from Canada, where we just got somewhere between 15-25 cm of SNOW! Believe it or not..

Hei, voitko kiltti kertoa, mitä kokoa käytät Triangle Swimwearilta? Haluisin tilata myös, mutta vaikee arvioida oikeeta kokoa, mutta luulen että ollaan about samaa kokoa 🙂

Marianna… I don’t know how to say that and I hope you will not take this as criticism but the way it is ment: a reader who loves your blog and started to worry about you. I have notized that you are getting thinner and thinner. Please make sure you eat enough and look after yourself. xxx Lara
