Visited London, going again

It has been a busy week, and I haven’t been able to update my both readers here in the blog.

Anyhow, we got back from London refreshed — the trip was surprisingly easy considering that it was the first trip outside Finland to Niilo. He slept most of the time, including flights, train rides, tube, shopping and Legoland.

I run some business errands, and then we had also some time off — flight ticket pricing system makes these cumbersome stayovers that sometimes can be used in the advantage of the family.

One of the high points of the trip was full-day visit to Legoland in Windsor. The theme park is really worth a visit; especially if you have children or are otherwise interested in Legos. Both the rides and the Miniland were really nice and suitable for a wide variety of age groups.

I shot about two hundred photos on the site, mostly in Miniland or then having Aapo riding something with Sanna. For some reason I was not that photogenic and Sanna didn’t bother taking too many pictures of me and Aapo.

My only disappointment was that there were no individual Technic parts on sale. We ended up buying three boxes; one Technic and two basic Lego sets — Aapo is swiftly moving out from Duplo range, and maybe Niilo will inherit them in a year.

We managed to visit also Hamleys and Aapo spent a good deal of time admiring various Thomas the Tank Engine toys. We lured him out by promising him a hamburger in a nearby fast food joint.

I finally found an adequate summer jacket — I’ve been searching for it a few weeks and raided a number of shops in my first visit on last Sunday. Now, Sanna was with me to approve the style.

After two days of returning from London, I was already planning a new trip — once again in business. I’ll be there next week’s Friday. And a new trip has already raised its head, so it looks like that I’ll commute to the UK quite a lot.
