09:53:01 The sign as we were arriving. | 10:18:18 Just after entering. | 10:18:56 Quite an impressive view of Windsor Castle from here. | 10:53:53 Erika and her friend on the first ride (where I wasn't supposed to be taking photos apparently) - called Viking Splash or something. |
10:53:55 Chie on the first ride. | 10:54:08 | 11:01:43 Alas the girls weren't really interested in the piratey bit of Legoland, so we just whizzed straight through there. | 11:12:56 I think this is the Ninjago ride. You can't really see what's going on here. |
11:21:13 Erika and her friend on leaving the Ninjago ride. | 11:21:15 | 11:38:21 I sat out of the next ride - Mia's Riding Adventure, and Erika afterwards wished she had too as the seating was apparently extremely uncomfortable. | 11:39:37 Heading into the new "Mythica" bit. |
13:13:23 In the Kingdom of the Pharoahs. | 13:13:31 | 13:14:11 On the way into the Laser Raiders ride, which was sort of Indian Jones themed... but with lasers. | 13:19:56 Lego Indiana Jones. |
14:41:58 The girls went to the particularly splashy part of the park, and I left them to it for a bit so I could instead wander around Miniland. This was much more my sort of thing, and I found it quite delightful. | 14:42:15 A pretty impressive model of Palladio's "La Rotonda", a villa in Vicenza. | 14:42:34 A little piazza in Italy somewhere. Rather delightful. | 14:42:50 More of Italy in the foreground, overlooking Holland in the background. |
14:43:35 Well I think it's the Netherlands anyway - or was it part of Belgium? | 14:44:08 More of the Netherlands perhaps? | 14:44:12 | 14:45:03 Will this must be the Netherlands surely. |
14:51:54 | 14:52:09 Some giant ducks invading. | 14:52:53 | 14:54:12 La Rotonda again from the other side. |
14:54:27 I love how they even managed to grow miniature trees. | 14:54:44 Some sort of allium in the foreground here? | 14:55:26 Lovely hilltop fortified Italian town. | 14:56:23 Not so interested in America, sorry. |
14:56:30 | 14:57:13 The Taj Mahal. | 14:57:17 | 15:00:49 Sydney Opera Houses. |
15:00:59 Moscow. | 15:07:59 Miniland seen from a bit of a distance. | 15:49:32 I joined the girls again for another ride, this one involved submarines. | 15:50:13 |
15:53:07 To begin with all I could see through our window in the submarine was gravel. | 15:54:06 ....and then a Lego fish. | 15:54:09 ...and eventually some real fish. | 15:54:55 Lego mermaid. |
16:13:09 The girls wanted to go on one last ride before the park closed, but I couldn't face any more of the queueing, so I returned to Miniland once again. Here's Scotland. Really nicely done I thought. | 16:15:11 | 16:15:29 | 16:15:53 A malting for a whisky distillery. |
16:16:19 Jedburgh Abbey. | 16:17:14 Edinburgh. | 16:17:31 | 16:17:54 |
16:18:14 London now. | 16:18:25 Piccadilly Circus. | 16:18:56 Houses of Parliament - a rather magnificent piece of Lego building here. | 16:19:01 |
16:37:43 St. Paul's Cathedral. | 16:37:54 The Tower of London. | 16:38:00 Tower Bridge. | 16:38:15 The Gherkin etc. |
16:38:25 The Lloyds building. | 16:39:02 Heading towards France now I think. | 16:40:09 ...but first one of those Cabmen's shelters. | 16:41:29 Some olde England. |
16:41:54 Stonehenge! ...and Glastonbury Tor behind it. | 16:42:06 | 16:43:46 The Minack theatre in Cornwall. | 16:44:11 A Cornish harbour. |
16:44:42 Really amazed by this - it's the Pilchard Inn (and even the sea tractor!) from Burgh Island. | 16:45:23 | 16:47:29 Really impressed to see thatched roofs rendered in Lego. | 17:09:11 The Eiffel Tower. |
17:10:10 I seem to be back to London again now. | 17:10:34 Finally met up with the girls again, as the park was starting to clear out. | 17:10:37 | 17:13:06 Erika having an ice cream in Miniland. |
17:14:13 Buckingham Palace. | 17:20:13 Me, Chie and the Eiffel Tower. | 17:22:57 A rather charming Alpine bit. | 17:23:02 |
17:29:44 Erika and her friend, taken just before we left. | 17:29:49 | 17:29:55 |
