There are two big areas in Billund: one is the airport, the other is Legoland. Both are quite unusually situated in a municipality without train access and whose claim to fame is being the headquarters for the Lego group.
From Århus, it takes 46 minutes by train to Vejle, then another 41-minute train ride directly to Legoland. The entrance for adults is 229kr(~P1930). We met the Baltic students from RUC at the train station. They've got a great itinerary, I must say.
As you could imagine, tons of families with very young children were there. Denmark's drive to re-populate the country has been successful and that was enough proof. Indi and I just rode the Lego Top which has views of the whole park, and the cute dialogue-free 4D show.
The bus trip to and from Vejle is probably the most expensive bus ride I've had in Denmark (95kr return~P800). We took the 224, which passes by the airport, going there and on the way back, the 907X, which takes the scenic route through Randbøldal, which was lovely and makes up for the fare. I would have taken a video of it if I could. The ride really felt very English for us for some reason (common points of reference, I suppose). Is it the clouds? The fields? The rolling hills? The bus?
Manual scrapblog today, a real one tomorrow.
