We the had to brave the German train network alone in order to get to Gunzburg. After a few false starts we were on the train to Gunzburg which takes about 1:30hrs.
When we arrived at Gunzburg we had to take the shuttle from the train station to the park and since we had about 10mins wait we had a coffee.
Then the bus arrived and took us to ....
Woo hoo!!!, we finally made it, unfortunately so did the rain, but it was a mixed blessing as it kept the crowds away...The park was full of people and characters made of Lego, we have lots of photos here are a select few..
They have a great locker system, one euro for the whole day .... so we could put Sam's bag away so we could go on the rides...
We then went onto a lego racer roller coaster which I rode twice, once with Sam and the other by myself we have a video I might put it up later... I went on an other coaster later in the day which was a bit tamer than the first, and after the ride you could get a photo of you on the ride. I only got the second one as it was a better photo but it cost 4.90 Euros. The second roller coaster was in the knights kindom and you had to go thru the castle to get to it, before you got on the track it took a tour of the castle and they had some waaaay cool structures of dragins, wizards etc....
Unfortunately you have to be this tall to get onto rides
Well after the rides we went and had a look at the lego cities.... They blew me away with the detail, the had boats and gondolas floating in the streets of venice, and people kissing on a bridge!!!!!
A football game at the arena FC Bayer-Munchen of course,
A whole model of Munich airport with planes that taxied onto the runways, and the had a model of Airbus's A380 going in and out of the hanger, and one that was cut in half to show the interior!!
They also had Berlin, Lucerne in Switzerland, Netherlands with windmills and Neuschwanstein castle!!! which was cool as we had seen the real thing a couple of days ago!!!
Now the piccies I took do not do this place justice, I recommend that you come over and see for yourself!! I hope they build one in Australia.
One curious oddity, was I guess for the World cup they had some busts of famous football players all lined up ... here are a few of the very well known ones but one shouldn't be there can you tell which one?????
Finally we did do some shopping there, but I didn't get much lego as it was 7.00 euros for 100g thats 70 euros a kilo!!!!! rip off and most things I can get online or in australia, but it was still a great day out, hmmmm I wonder what is in the Loot bag!!!!!
Bye all

i hope u are going to bring us some interesting food back from Germany!!
Yeah Eve it was kinda cool (i even admit) - next time you are in Germany! Or Denmark is it??
Bec - they just stick big bits of plastic on the outside of the carriages etc that look like mega blocks of lego!!
Who'd have thought you could make all that out of lego. That almost matches my effort as a kid making a nicely shaped cube. Ok it wasn't nicely shaped and was really just lots of pieces squashed together but hey, I wasn't a gifted child... especially when it came to lego. That place looked like lots of fun though! Let me know when you make it to "tonka truck world". Then I'll be happy :) Hope all's well in the Northern Hemisphere.
