Legoland - Denmark with Darren & Lorraine

Legoland - Denmark 

We had arrived at Legoland, a family-friendly destination that combines fun, creativity, and education, making it a must-visit for LEGO enthusiasts and we couldn't wait to explore! 


 There was a whole host of rides to suit all personalities. Even the gentler rides were great fun, on rivers, through caves, through a safari of Lego animals. ‘Dragon’ was the favourite of the thrill-seekers. There were several opportunities to see the whole site, by monorail, train and a revolving, ascending tower. Now for the wet and wild rides which we had saved till the end of the day and those riding in the front cars got truly soaked.

We spent a while in Mini Land, where the iconic buildings from many countries were recreated in Lego. The moving parts - windmills, bridges, cranes, aeroplanes were amazing, particularly the NASA rocket preparing for take-off.


Some of the Lego sculptures are truly amazing, including a full-sized Ferrari car! We could only but guess how many pieces of the famous brick it took to build this! 

A boat ride through Mini Land took us under Tower Bridge, past the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House and an Egyptian Sphinx. The more adventurous went on Eagle - fast and furious! We had a Mexican lunch in a cantina and the filled burritos were a popular choice. Next, we watched a great show, staged in the castle with divers and acrobats performing high dives and tumbles from the battlements. We went to Lego Movie World and were taken into ‘cyber space’ to fight battles.

We headed to the Lego House, (Home of the Brick). It really was the ultimate Lego experience with dinosaurs, animals, plants, trees, mountain scenes and cascading waterfalls. Truly magnificent!  You can even make a Lego character of your own choosing, which passes through a machine to print names/logos/items of clothing on the bricks. 

There were immersive play zones and technical, interactive areas. There are over 25 million Lego bricks to dive into and build whatever you wish.

It was game on at the bowling alley as we split into two teams and let the battle commence! There were some great shots and high score all round. It was great to see everyone cheering each other on!

Cyprus Sun with Steve, Michaela & John

    Cyprus Sun     Our hotel was fantastic! We all loved relaxing around the swimming pool or down the beach which was only a few meters away. In the evening we all enjoyed dinner on the terrace with stunning views. We went on the original open top red bus tour to the Turkish side of the island. We had a tour guide giving us a commentary on board about the sights we saw and the history leading up to the Turkish invasion in 1974. We toured the walled city of Famagusta and saw the ghost town left unoccupied since the war.  We spent our evening in town exploring the buzzing streets and listened to live music in fantastic bars. We also took part in friendly pool tournament. We took a boat trip along the coast where we explored the caves of Cape Greco and visited the Blue Lagoon where some of us swam in the beautiful clear water.  The hotel entertainment team was fabulous!  There was musi...

Attractions of Blackpool with Matt & Jackie

 Attractions of Blackpool  Oh we do love to be besides the seaside and we couldn't wait to head up the infamous Blackpool Tower. The views along the coastline were spectacular.  We managed to step onto the famous Ballroom floor and watched some of the dancers glide gracefully around the room.  It was time to get up close and personal with all of our favourite celebs at Madame Tussauds. We couldn't believe how much they lifelike they were! There were Coronation Street legends and some pretty iconic pop stars for us meet. Next up was some of our sporting heroes. We couldn't resist a picture with Boris and of course King Charles. Our next stop was the Blackpool Dungeons! From the moment we entered we were greeted by the "Black Jester” and we could tell this place was not for the faint hearted. The characters and scenarios played out by the excellent actors were a reflection of Britain's brutal and often savage history. The final room had us all terrified as we...
