Lucas’ spectacular wipeout… Race to the Bottom… Molly and Abi – quietly confident Harry, playing it cool… Ella – great technique! Elayna – oozing […]

Legoland has been awesome today. We got wet on the flume, which was great fun! We have been on lots of the rides because there were almost no queues in the park today.
Good-bye, London!
