Getting wet and wild in Billund..
Wet and wild in Billund… Billund in Denmark is famous for one thing. Bricks. Lands made out of bricks, rides made out of bricks and model kits made out of…yes you guessed it. But there’s much more to Billund than Lego. After visiting Polar Land to ride the Polarcoaster we went on to test out [...]
Riding the Polarcoaster.. at Legoland Billund
Ever been on a Polarcoaster? Not even sure what that is? We weren’t either until we put on our thermals and prepared to duck and dive with the penguins on the all new Polar Xplorer ride at Legoland. We just couldn’t resist a sniff of the Antarctic on our long journey to Iceland…. Ever been [...]

And the sky opened and the journey began
Under a darkening sky We are cycling through the village Store Darum in Denmark. With a motorcycle escort. He is trying to go as slowly as we are pedalling. Our speed is tricky for him and he circles ahead. He is wet. We are more wet. He pootles back to us and lifts off his [...]
