We started the day having a sleepin and I wandered down to hertz to pick up our vehicle. Apparently so did every other tourist so Paul and the kids were waiting for nearly an hour out the front of our hotel in the heat. When it was my turn I was advised there was no more gps available....this is when I started to panic. A couple of young Aussie guys that were also heading in the same direction convinced me I would be ok and a local got his phone out and showed me...

We started the day a bit slowly as the tiredness has really hit with a bang. I needed a redbull to even try and get on the bus to legoland. Our driver today dips not draw breath the whole way and gave us a lot of useless information. 90% of the bus were Aussies do we were not overly excited at seeing the beach but the driver wanted us to postpone the arrival at legoland to hang at the beach, thankfully no one agreed. On arrival at legoland them kids were overly e...

It did not disappoint, I was scared and the boys loved it the technology was amazing. We then went exploring as it is absolutely huge and yet another hot day. Afte...

The rain is caused by the cyclones offshore. Adventure land is amazing and the kids seemed to enjoy it more today as was more themed around things they know. We all went on a lot of rides including the new cars rode, well worth the 65 minute wait and soaring California. There ...

We started the day a little later as the alarm didn't go off but still had time to go for breakfast before we left the hotel. Clearly everyone else decided to go that time as it was really busy but we downed some eggs, sausage pattie and juice which turned out to be the closest thing to drinking syrup I have had. After a bit of research online I found a theme park ticketing agent that was a 10 minute walk to the hotel. The short walk saved us $260 and we were the...
