Legoland!

Friday afternoon we flew from Stockholm to Billund, Denmark - the home of Lego!

 Yesterday we joined the queue of little and big kids at the Legoland gates.

We roamed the park, looking at the models and riding on the attractions. It was a warm day (30 degrees?) - and the park was quiet (as every Scandinavian is off at their holiday house).

My favorite ride was one with pirate ships and water cannons - there were cannons on the boats and also around the outside of the ride - so everyone got to shoot people.Great fun on a hot day!

Dr M's favourite ride was the 'Power Builder' - where you programed the moves that your seat (mounted on the end of a robotic arm) would do. We thought we were being conservative with our selection, but we were upside down within 5 seconds of the ride beginning!  

Legoland balances out the tiny buildings by serving huge food & beverage options. Left is Dr M at our lunch at 'the knights table' - see my (clear) drink - that's 800ml!

For afternoon tea we each had a 'legoland vaffle' ice cream - 4 flavours of scoop ice cream, topped with soft serve, with some pink marshmallow fluff on top, some strawberry jam, and a choc covered coconut marshmallow. Quite ridiculous.

After a fun filled day we were clever enough to figure out how to catch a local bus 30km to the nearest train station, so that we could rail to Copenhagen.
