Our time in Berlin: Legoland, Guenzburg.

Legoland, Germany is 1 1/2 hours by train from Munich. We had a sensible time to be at the station, and we were at Guenzburg by 11.30am. A quick check in at the hotel, and we were at the Legoland gates by noon.

The boys were beside themselves with excitement as we got closer. There were large Lego blocks in the centre of the roundabout as we turned off the main road. At the Legoland gates music was played through speakers and the kids couldn't wait to get inside.

The first thing recommended to us was to book the boys into the Lego/Audi driving school. It was only for kids between 7-13. Unfortunately Cameron missed out on this one, but there was a junior driving school for him. Alexander had his photo taken, and sat through a 15 minute video on safe driving (all in German). He then had 15 minutes to do some driving practice on the mini roads. The kids were brilliant, they were all very sensible, all kept on the correct side of the road, and there were no accidents. After their test, they were given their Lego driving license.

Cameron had a mini track that they went around, he still got a license, but no photo...but both of them were thrilled about it!

Next were lots of rides, boats, cars, trains, horses. There was so much to do, and the kids are just the right age for Legoland. There were a couple of roller coasters, and a mad mouse. Alexander wanted to try them, and was scared on each one, but he had a go, and after the shock of it, was happy he tried it...but once was enough. Cameron surprisingly didn't want to go on those rides...and I thought he would be the one who would want to.

On the boat rides...Cameron is getting better at steering, we only got stuck twice!

We saw 2 4D movies....the 3D glasses, and the 4th dimension was snow falling from the ceiling, streamers, blowing wind etc...the kids were amazed. They kept reaching out to touch the things that were popping out at them.

This log ride, we all went on, and got soaked through (about 6 degrees that day), they had a big hay bale dryer nearby that you could get into and get dry in 3 minutes!
