April 10-14, 2014-Denmark

First train stop: Hamburg, Germany.  We were there for a very short train connection, but we stepped out of the train station briefly.  This is a picture of the Bahnhof (train station).

We arrived in Denmark and rode the bus for an hour and a half to get to Billunds which is home of the Original Legoland.

This is the price of gas per liter in Krones.  When you do the exchange, it is about $8.24/gallon.

Pretty excited to see Legoland.

We had a bit of an adventure finding our apartment.  We'll just say we took the road less traveled...not the short route.

In Denmark their currency is called Krones.  It takes about 1 US dollar to equal 7 Krones so the numbers on items got big quickly.  It was quite a mental block for me to see these numbers.

We enjoyed our cabin.  It even had a washer and a dryer!  After not having this in our Germany apartment, I was excited to be able to do laundry.

We rode this little train from our cabin to Lalandia.  Lalandia is located near Legoland and has an Aquadome full of water slides, a big area for kids to play, restaurants, bowling, ice skating, a grocery store and shopping.  It was a very fun place.

Next two days, Legoland!

All of the things that were built out of Legos were so impressive.

Brooke likes the Friends Legos. 

This is Neuschwanstein made out of Legos.  We visited this castle in Bavaria.  The Lego model is just like the real castle.

This is Lego Mini Town.

All of the heads are made from Lego bricks.

One of the fun things Brooke and Seth did was go to driving school and then drive a Lego car.  They chose their country's flag to attach to the front of their car, made out of Legos, of course.

Brooke was a happy driver.

Seth visited the gas station frequently and thankfully will have lots of years to practice before he starts driving.  It just didn't make any sense to him that he had to use the same foot for the gas and the brake.

Hello Abe

This dragon is made of Legos.  It was part of a water ride.

This was fun.  If you bought a package with a mini figure you could open it and then trade it with these on display. Or you could trade with someone that worked in the park since They had a mini figure attached to their name tag.

This is Lego Headquarters...a little disappointing that they don't give tours.

Some of the country in Denmark.

The roofs of these houses looked like they had sod and moss on them.
