Day 6 - 15.12.2025 - Day Trip to Lego House (Part 1)

Another early start today - up at 07:00, shower, breakfast and out just before 09:00 as we had just over an hour's drive to Lego House in Billund (where Lego's HQ is based).
A bit dull and fretty today, but not too cold at about 7°C. 
There was free parking on the outskirts of Billund and a 20 minute walk to Lego House.
The Lego House is in the centre of the village/town and was impressive...
Upon entering, we were standing there agape and a member of the Lego team came over to offer his help. 
We were shown how to log in with our ticket which printed us each a wrist band and shown where the cloakroom was - our wristband contained an NFC chip, which let us in and out of the house, allowed us to login at all the activities, unlock and lock cloakroom lockers and using a QR code allows us to access what we did in the house at home!
We were also given a list of tasks that, if we completed, we got a present!
He also asked us where we were from and how we found out about the place and gave us hot drinks vouchers!
We started by going down the stairs (which were amazing) to the historical section which was brilliant...
The historical bit took us straight back to our childhood with constant "I had that!"...
The lifts back up were like something out of Harry Potter - the Ministry of Magic ...
Then came the Tree of Life - 3 stories high...
On each branch there we huge dioramas...
And the top of the tree was still "under construction"!!!

Day 5 - 14.12.2025 - near Utrecht (Netherlands) to Binderup (Denmark) near Lego House

Image
Woke up just before 07:00, so up, showered, breakfast and pack the car and off by 0900. A long day today - 3 countries - Netherlands to Germany to Denmark... 5 charging stops - although only needed 4, but worked on the principle to charge when we stop not just stop to charge. It appears that Big Blue CAN go further than my bladder! Getting old is fun - NOT!!! Stop 1 @ 10:07 for 14mins - in the Netherlands, this time the car needed a charge NOT me needing a comfort break! Stop 2 @ 12:26 for 8mins - in Germany, this time me NOT the car needing stop. Stop 3 @ 14:07 for 5mins - in Germany, was supposed to be a lunch stop, but the pizza machine wasn't working! So carried on as far as I could go. Stop 4 @ 14:50 for 34mins - in Germany and adjacent to a MaccieDs - finally! We were starving and both needed the loo! Again the car was ready before us!! Stop 5 @ 17:43 for 22 mins - in Denmark - we all needed a stop this time - I needed to partake and we needed enough ...

Day 12 - 21.12.2025 - Day trip to the Arctic Circle & saw the Aurora Borealis!

Image
Even though we didn't set an alarm we both woke before 6 - lazy breakfast, Cast a couple of episodes of 'Camp Cretaceous', showered and left about 09:45 for Mo I Rana and charging, stopping to admire the views along the way... Stop 1 @ Mo I Rana for 23mins, then off to The Arctic Circle Centre.... Roads were the same as last night (IE snowy and inch thick ice in places), but without rain, but having been gritted, then we positively blasted along at around 50mph!! Just over an hour later and we arrived at the centre... It was cold, about -5°C and the sky was clear... And even though it was only 12:15 it was already getting dark!! It had taken 2479 miles, 8 different countries, a channel crossing (by train), £270 of Supercharging & 12 days to get here, but it was worth it! Only stopped for about 10mins as it was -5°C, then headed back to the charger at Mo I Rana. ...

Day 4 - 13.12.2025 - Day trip to Amsterdam

Image
We were up and ready to go by 0900, so off we went to Amsterdam with the intention of parking adjacent to a park near the city centre. With a quick charge on the way in at a Tesla Supercharger. When we arrived, we found plenty of on-street parking, but could we find a parking meter.... anywhere? Could we f***! So a quick search on a parking app I had found last night called ParkBee, found us an underground secure parking for 24 cars nearby for only €14.85 for 5 hours. Got there in 5 mins, opened the gates from the app, parked up and walked out, shutting the gate behind us (again - from the app) - so cool! Then we walked along the Amstel River into Amsterdam Central, past all the house boats and the locks that make the dam on the Amstel (hence Amsterdam - apparently). We visited a bakery then headed into the oldest part of the city... We headed into Chinatown and found a little restaurant called New King...
