We went to Bruparck just outside of Brussels to see the Atomium.
Then we went to Mini-Europe!

A Not to Scale Day
Today was about seeing what essentially is very small in a much larger format and seeing what is essentially large in a much smaller format.
Built in 1958 for the Worlds Fair - a representation of an elementary iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
Right in the gate this turtle mascot strong armed selfie-ed us!We got over our "shell-shock"😉 and enjoyed a tour of a 1:25 scale Europe!
On the cab ride home we saw the Domaine de Laeken (the Belgium royal family's second residence).It isn't open to the public 😞 but then again most residences aren't either 😀

Working at a scanning company I have seen the small Europe place literally hundreds of times. Yours are in the top 20%, so you got that going for you!
ReplyDeleteYou knew about Mini-Europe and never told me ?
DeleteI'm glad atoms aren't that big! So now you can tell Chelsea they do exist because you have a picture of one!
ReplyDeleteMinerature Europe, what a cool thing to see! Although it would be hard not to play Godzilla.
Oh man! I never even thought of Godzilla! What a lost opportunity!!!
DeleteI love this blog. It makes me feel close to you!
ReplyDeleteMINI EUROPE!?!?!?! HOW ADORABLE!!!! Why is the mascot a turtle? It should be something mini like a mouse. Or a shetland pony. Did you feel like a giant? You both look beautiful in that photograph, Brussels agrees with you!
ReplyDeleteAll I know is I missed a Godzilla opportunity!
DeleteMini Europe is the amusement park I never knew I wanted. RAD
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Mini Europe mascot?

From the shape of it I would guess a turtle. I know it wasn't Godzilla....and neither was I.😞
