I got back from a trip to Europa park in Germany a few days ago, which I'd very much recommend. However, I was plagued by an overwhelming sense of deja vu the whole time I was there.
(You'll have to excuse the poor quality of the photos, my photography skills are not particularly well developed
)
It all started at my character breakfast in the morning...
Before I went on some kind of cruise though the jungle (or a dschungel fhart, as it is charmingly called in German
), where hippos charged,
Camps were trashed,
(Thank goodness that man had the ingenuity to climb a tree when being chased by a rhino!)
And elephants bathed,
This sense of familiarity continued on the Universe of Energy (which incidentally is stored in some kind of giant golfball), which, would you guess, features dinosaurs,
Next I went on a boat ride with some pirates through the Carib... er, Batavia.
It's difficult to see in the dark, but they'd burned up the town pretty badly.
They also participated in auctioning of their women,
And I really hope the prisoners get their key off that cheeky monkey,
The piece de resistance came on a trip through a mansion that was haunted.
We started in a small room,
And I think you can guess what happened next,
Before we saw an undead bride,
And a ghostly ball scene,
(This is where I will give kudos to Europa, because I have certainly not seen a unicorn dressed as a clown at a ball before
)
You can't really see it in the photo, but this is when a hitchhiking ghost appeared to be sitting RIGHT IN OUR CAR!!
And the finale,
(I couldn't work out what the busts were singing, but if anyone knows the German for 'grim grinning ghosts', I think I'd have a pretty good idea.)
I had a wonderful time there, which I think was somewhat enhanced by never knowing what familiar site I'd see next!
