Efteling

Just a day after thesis submission, I fulfilled my promise to Anya to have a vacation to Efteling, an amusement park close to Den Bosch. It was the last day of her summer holiday, but it was a sunny and bright day to spend weekend together.

We traveled to Efteling by train from Utrecht to s’Hertogenbosh, and continued by bus to the Efteling. Many visitors were coming, due to the last day of summer vacation, but we had not long queue to buy ticket. The first amusement we visited was “Panda” corner. We did not have any idea what it is about. We found a movie with 3D screen in the first theater. First, we did not interested and just wanted to leave the theater, but it was closed already. Being patient, we watched the movie. After the first movie has been played, we moved to the second theater with bigger screen and many seat rows and the movie began. Wow amazing! The story began with polar bear life; turtle and creature life under sea and about tropical forests where orang utans live. How people disturb nature that create global climate change. This very good movie, that suppose to increase awareness to protect nature and wild life. Anya learnt about what global climate change is about.

We had fun with roller coaster, which need effort to be in long queue. Lifted up to see Efteling area with “Pagoda”. But we did not try adventure in a canoe or boat. We spend our time much in a fairy tale area; to see a story of ‘Long Neck’, Rampusel, a girls with the red coat and little mermaid. We did not miss the mysterious villa, where we could experience with 360 oC rotate room. I have no idea, how does it work. There was no stuffs in the room fell down, though the seat in the room was rotated 360 oC for several times!

Anya enjoyed this day much. Finally, she had a story to tell her friends when she go went back to school in the coming day.
