Legoland Hotel Billund

... helpless child in Africa is now affecting you.

You don't know her name. You don't know her parents. She was someone's child. She was someone's smile. She was someone's joy. She was someone's hope.

And to a vulture, she was food.

We can't keep brushing aside these problems. We can't ignore that they happen. We can't hide behind the safety of our homes.

"What's Happening To You Is Happening To Me".

... Mom and Dad! Have safe travels home from California!

20 years from now. Where will I be? Do you know where you'll be in 20 years? 20 years ago did you think you'd be where you are right now?

Paul referred to this topic in three areas: a career, a future partner, and parenting.

All things that may happen to all of us in the next 20 years.

First of all, a career. When we are 16 or 17, someone looks at our high school transcripts ...

... to the central square where we had been on our previous visit 2 weeks ago. On that ocassion the weather had been rubbish so this time we got a good impression. We will definitely come back for a city break visit!
Just before leaving at 1pm we grabbed an awesome sandwich at this little backstreet shop (I had a bacon club & Lizzie had this freshly prepared salad roll on brown bread with an avocado mayonnaise which she thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed). It was ...

... for both adults & kids. Enjoyed the working Viking village with actors living in Ribe very much. Including a working Viking Blacksmith & potter. Its all done very well & not over priced. Reenactments of Viking skirmishes were very good & they really go for it! kids always love that bit. Sailed out on the fiord at Roskilde & even got to help rowing the boat as crew. saw the Jelling stone ...

Stayed in Aarhus as our sleep over stop, mainly becasue Billund has no hostels! Didn't do anything on our night there, as it had taken us about 8 hours to make it there from Berlin, many change overs on trains!

Went to Legoland on the second day. It was ace! Though many children running around, & they seem to think that Criel as an amazing city in Scotland. We eventually got water rides, something whcih we have been looking for since we started!

... 2.5 hrs for a load of wash), had ping-pong and badminton, and was a short walk to the best bakery in town and the center of town.

We actually really liked the town of Ribe. It had the best shopping of the entire trip. There was a pedestrian street with many stores that weren’t touristy at all, but had unique and inexpensive items on a cute cobblestone street with buildings which ...

... The lines were also inventive since they had lego building stations that the children could play in while their parents went through the lines.  

The parks was also dog friendly and we saw so many cute dogs walking around!!  There were even drinking stations set up by dogs made of legos.  

Fun fact: Cotton candy in Denmark is called "Candy Floss."

We ate at a traditional Danish buffet for dinner that ...

... the front of the rollercoaster; I think they recognized that we were a little new to this process so no one became frustrated with us and instead filed in behind after we moved.

I also enjoyed all of the miniature versions of major Scandinavian locations like Nyhavn in Denmark and parts of Sweden. There was also a replica of Hollywood, California and the Statue of Liberty! I'd be interested to see the replicas in other countries' Legolands.

... we saw. It was based around 2 people getting in a Lego cube, strapped up like the demon ride with a safety barrier locked on your chest. And pretty much you would get twisted and turned in different positions and speeds too lasting 4 minutes. It was really cool actually in the way that it was us who decided how the ride would go. You line up and get handed a ride chip which then you are led to your ride design computers. You slip the chip in and are presented with the ...

Legoland, Denmark - Only took 24 years to get here! I have wanted to visit Legoland since I was about 6 years old. Unfortunately, mom never managed to win us a trip, so I've had to wait. Four years ago, Gavin took me to the parkl in Windsor. Legoland UK was great, but visiting it only seemed to fuel my desire to visit the original park in Billund, which I believed would be even bigger and better. I was not disappointed. The rides were great ...
