We fulfilled Luca's ultimate childhood fantasy by taking him to Legoland about 3 hours West of Copenhagen. Like all my kids, he has grown up with these wonderful blocks as well as all the commercial permutations including Bioncles and the elborate Star Wars space stations. Like many families we have boxes of lego pieces that we regularly put together to create anything our imagination lets us
We boarded a train West at 10:30 and arrived in Lego Land at 1:30. Luca rushed in, dashing from exhibit to exhibit. I was hoping that it would be more than a corny amusement park and we were all pleasantly suprised! The entrance is a series of villages and scenes from around the world entirely made out of legos. There was they tiny town of Bergen, Norway where we are now, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and even Hollywood. The Capitol. Statue of Liberty and the Acropolis were all carefully constructed out of thousands of legos. Quite a feat.
The remainder of the park has G rated rides that we all enjoyed. Mauro and I are quite chicken when it comes to rides so we skipped the roller coaster but Valentina and Lorenzo loved it! We spent the whole day there and as usual closed the place. We took the last train back to Copenhagen. I advise that you stay over at the Legoland hotel as the round trip voyage was way too much!
The following day we rented bike again and cruised around on the city's wonderful bike lanes and saw the Changing of the Guards at the Amalienborg Palace, the Kronberg Castle, Cristiana Village (least favorite). and the Hans Cristian Anderson Museum (right next to Ripley's Believe it or Not. We dropped off our bikes and made our way back to our hotel. Along the way we enjoyed some jazz tunes in the street, had crepes and a hearty meal at an open cafe.
Today we arrived in Norway. More adventures to come!
