Legoland 2008

"I wish, I wish, I wish.... I wish I was at Legoland" - and poof yes Jess you are here again. Just like magic.



And you brought Ben along with you too. Fantastic.



All hooded up ready to brave the cold October water of the Viking Ride.



After a couple more rides we wait for the big show at the light house.



The evil monkey tried to capture on of the goodies..



After a show that is basically the same every year - well it has been for the last 10 years - a bit of acrobatics jumping over horses, getting wet, including us, speed boat action and falling off the lighthouse again and again and again.... we arrive at our allotted time for our bubble car ride.



All I can say is don't do it. Its noisy, slow, jerky, uncomfortable, and had the distinct feeling of being really really unsafe. Especially as you can only load the cars in a specific and limited way. They should tear this one down and put something up instead.

Moving on to better things - mini land... being covered by a TV crew.



Just like the real thing - London on a crisp blue day looks fantastic. Always impressed and notice new things..



Like Batman outside the cinema,



and Dr who by the London Eye,



and a Darlek in Canary Wharf.



Jess and I were convinced that when we came before there were more superheros and villains but could we find any?



Meanwhile in Florida at Cape Canaveral the space shuttle is preparing for launch.



Oh no Darth Vader is invading. Thankfully Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobe are waiting to save us.



Hey look James is off climbing again...



Such a fantastically amazing place - full of dreams and imagination. Not sure I'll ever get bored with it.



It's race time.... go go go



Ben and Jess line up their cars made from the last few wheels and bits lying around.



As they speed down the track it's Ben in the lead...



See the tension, feel the power, see the noise.



And yes Jess wins by a whisker... 138cm/sec is a smidgeon over 3 miles per hour... fast in Legoland any way!



Waiting in the queue for the Pirate Falls ride again - definitely the best one, Ben & Jess build a tower to the sky...



And I'm not going to mention the banana as I know it will get me in trouble from Jess.

All I do know is that Lego IS the best toy of all time!!
