.How I Travelled All Over Europe in One Day.

July 27, 2010

In a span of one day, I managed to travel all over Europe without having to purchase an expensive air ticket. "How so?" you may ask! Simple: I only paid 20euros for this trip and gladly enough it took me nearly the whole morning to discover all of Europe by foot. Weather was sunny and beautiful - which was a bonus for us all!

The photo below is one of Belgium's National Heritage, the Atomium, standing 335feet from the ground. This is the building which by insane butthead-cousins and brother did their flying fox! Sliding off from the top sphere and down the rope to the end of the green field which ended right before the roundabout (you'll see the distance they covered from one of the photos below).




Left: you can see how fast the elevator was going up to the top of the Atomium.
Right: Top (almost top view anyways) of the distance of their flying fox.
Note: On the right photo, you can see the two black ropes going down the building?
Yeah...that's the one they slid on!



The steep escalator travelling downwards.
You can imagine how tall and steep it was... the length was endless!


So have you guessed how I've managed to travel all around Europe without getting onto an airplane? Hehehe Your answers below...


Belgium's Mini-Europe: housing all the miniture statues of all of Europe's famous landmarks.

Located next to the Atomium, it was quite easy to find. Simply walk towards the Kinepolis theatre and walk past the restaurant village situated next to the theatre! You can't miss it!
The sign is HUGE (unless, of course, you need your glasses and forgot to bring them... )!!


.Look! Buckingham's lost imperial guard is finally found! What's he doing in Belgium?!.


.Don't ask: my uncle knows how to amuse himself. :)

I was quite amazed by the details that went into building every single country's landmarks. Down to the statues, trains, lakes, national anthem and even little figurines and cars!!! Genius! I wonder if we would ever have something like this in Brunei? I am aware they have something like this at the OGDC in KB but not as detailed or massive in size like this!
