Bence (8 years old, Szeged)
Bence's days and nights are about LEGO. It was obvious that he asked from Csodalámpa to visit LEGOLAND.
As we heard Bence did not believe that his wish would come true, but as the car arrived on Friday morning he asked with bright eyes
- When shall we start at last?
The journey was exciting. Bence ate well at our first stop at the McDonalds in Bábolna. Getting know that Bence never saw a real airplane we went to the airport of Schwechat (Austria) after crossing the border where we did not see lots of planes but the construction site was very interesting.
The journey took a whole day but Bence didn't care as we offered him lots of snacks and drinks. Moreover he received small presents like books, colour pencils and soft toys not to get bored on the trip. As there was a DVD player in the car we watched Sponge Bob and Vuk.
On Saturday morning Bence was our alarm clock asking the time when we get started from 6 o'clock every 5 minutes. We explained him many times that Legoland opened only at 10 o'clock and we would be there on time.
Well... we were the first who arrived. We did not know what to do first whether we should see the mini cities or the harbour or better to try some other attractions?
We decided to start from the beginning and go on one by one as we were going to stay for the whole day.
The pictures should tell you more about how much Bence enjoyed the trip:

Before closing we visited the LEGO shop.
It wasn't easy to decide which LEGO to choose. Bence was really happy and running with his new toys when though we could hardly walk from tiredness. Bence suddenly got sad in the car just before leaving:
- I forgot the most important - Indiana Jones!
The park was already closed and everyone else would have started to convince Bence that it was not a big deal, next time... but not us.
It's a fact that Legoland was already closed. But it wasn't a problem for us. We jumped out from a car, run to see a German lady at the gate and convinced her within 1 minute to open the gates and to help us to make a wish come true. Bence counts on her, on us. We got through the gate and we rushed into the shop and we succeeded! We even got an Indiana Jones key holder!
It was easier to go out. The barriers opened and we could slowly walk out, catching our breath.
You should have seen Bence's face!
At the hotel we thought he would fall sleep immediately. But no... We had some rest while he was assembling his newest LEGO toy. He slept with Indiana Jones and they became really good friends.
Sunday morning it was Bence again who woke us up. We thought to give him a suprise as it was Children's day in Hungary.
In LEGOLAND Bence loved the castle of Neuschwanstein, which was built by 6 men during 6 months from 300.000 LEGO pieces. So we took him to the real castle on the way home.
We took a ride up to the castle in a horsecart. We visited lots of rooms and we listened to the history of the castle of Luis the 2nd (called also Louis the Fool).
This castle looks exactly the same as the one at the beginning of the Walt Disney films with lots of towers.
On the way home Bence was happily playing and talking about his adventure. He only missed the rollercoaster, but we are going to have a ride on it in Hungary someday.
At end he said: "Thank you a lot for bringing me here" and he gave us a hug. We only could thank him for bringing us here.
We would like to say thank to the students of The American International School of Budapest, Pappas Auto Magyarország Kft-nek and the team of Legoland in Grünzburg (Germany) for helping us to make this wish come true.
