The Five-Countries Holiday - Part Three

Category: Ramblings | Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 7:35 am

Oh, Legoland, wonderful play park with the most fantastic creations in Lego bricks, a very nicely planted-up ground and the mini-trees and other plants in the mini-town. It's so nice to visit, and this year we were lucky enough to pick a day without the big crowds.



Some of the wonderful scenes:









I thought I had photographed Mount Rushmore, but I obviously haven't. Sitting Bull is very big and the pirates are life-size.

This donkey was in Legoredo town, a western-inspired collection of shops and restaurants.



There are lots of roundabouts, roller coasters and stuff. I had to go with the girls in three of them and came home with three "Scream"-by-Munch-lookalike photos. *lol* This was't so bad, though:



Some of the planting arrangements:







There's lots of water everywhere, all nicely laid out and planted up:









From the tower, an overview:







The miniature Lego towns and landscapes. The details are amazing. I put some of these photos in "My Garden". They're a bit bigger than these:



The fountain is working:



Amalienborg, the Danish Queen's castle:





Swedish mid-summer celebrations:



Scottish scenery:





There's also a very pretty aquarium, a rather new feature. I found these upside-down jelly fish very interesting.



And this sea anemone too:



I obviously had too much fun to photograph much. Oh, me, what am I like. Anyway, our next stop was at a safari park called Billund Zoo, where we could drive among giraffes, zebras and even lions.

What an amazing group of foto's these are. I have heard of Legoland, of course...but never been there. I am amazed by what I see in your fotos.
Legoland looks like a good "all-round" fun park for children and adults alike.

Keep the pictorial journal coming, Droopy, I am enjoying this no end.

Gosh it's hard to believe that all the buildings, people, animals etc are all made out of lego bricks. I wonder how long it took to make that lovely Scottish scene. I really love the donnkey too!! What a fantastic place to spend a day. One day I really must try to get to Legoland to see it for myself.
Amazing shots of the jellyfish and colourful
anemone by the way.

OK I'm ready for more please.

How wonderful Droopy.Trey(grandson) went to Legoland in March with his other grandparents.He went to the San Diago Zoo and to Disney Land but his favorite was Legoland.

I find it hard to believe that lots of people actually get payed for making Lego houses. *lol*

That donkey is life-size. I wonder how many blocks they used to make it?

But what I find most amazing are the live mini-trees and bushes planted in the mini-town. I wonder how many gardeners they've got to maintain that mini-garden.

That's amazing, Droopy. I have a grandson that would love to see this - the effort that must have gone into it. The gardens make it look cool and inviting.
Awaiting the next installment.

Legoland -- looks like a blast. I play with Legos with the kids at school sometimes.... I can only imagine what was involved in creating all of these things! I hope the rides and real buildings aren't made of Legos too! I'd love to see the mini-town and garden.

Legoland is fun for all, even those who don't build with Lego bricks any more. :) The rides and serious stuff are not made from lego, fortunately. I wouldn't have dared try them if they were.
