Celebrating Nick's Birthday at Legoland! [photojournal]

Hello friends |

There are many benefits to dating an engineer; they’re helpful when your technology scientific discipline fails , they know the ins-and-outs of your DSLR because they bothered to read the manual , together with they plough over y'all a perfectly valid argue to catch Legoland (sans children).





Nicholas turned 26 on June 24th , together with we’d organised to hold upward at the Lego subject commons for his birthday.  He woke upward , complaining that he was at nowadays closer to xxx than xx , together with nosotros caput off inwards the direction of the subject park.

We had opted to rest inwards the nearby campsite together with Holiday Village , because it meant that nosotros could hold upward walking distance to the commons , without blowing our entire budget on accommodation.  We were in all probability the alone ones inwards a compact wild camping-style tent , though , together with were surrounded past times huge caravans amongst detachable awnings bigger than our entire aeroplane dorsum inwards Melbourne.  It had decent facilities (I’d forgotten that some people military camp amongst flushable toilets together with showers) , but this 1 was all virtually location.







I was psyched for rollercoasters , because I grew upward inwards a subject commons Mecca on the Gold Coast.  Nicholas was similar a shot enthralled past times the MiniLand , where famous canals (including Bryggen inwards Bergen , where nosotros were a calendar month agone , together with Nyhavn inwards Copenhagen) were recreated inwards miniature , amongst moving people , ferries , cars together with trains.  Some fifty-fifty had detailed lock systems.  He would after pass hours (literally hours) recording together with documenting the movements , analysing how they’d been position together together with how they stuck to their path without tracks.


We’d purchased a two-day ticket for Legoland – knowing that 1 solar daytime wouldn’t sate Nicholas’ Lego-love – together with were dorsum for circular 2 the next day.  From 10 ‘til 8 on both days , nosotros wandered only about the commons , going on rides , taking pictures of all mode of Lego constructions , eating H2O ice cream together with weaving through masses together with masses of children.







Ah , the children of Legoland.  We’d non been inwards the commons for real long at all when I began to experience the tell-tale tickle inwards the dorsum of my throat.  I got hitting amongst a pretty nasty influenza together with spent both nights inwards our tent coughing together with spluttering together with sneezing together with drinking litres of orangish juice.





(sorry for all the real touristy , family-photo-album-esque pictures!)
