What kids like. Really.

We concluded our four weeks vacation with a trip to Åbo/Turku, Finland.
It´s easily done from Stockholm, you just take the large ferry (a kind of cruising vessel) and cruise through the Swedish and Finnish archipelago. Absolutely lovlely!

Our main destination was the Moominworld - for you americans reading this: it is a very small theme park. Not at all comparable to Disney World. But it was nice. Lot´s of stuff to do for the kids!

We got to meet some of the characters from the books of theMoomintrolls

The next day we went to a crazy park - the JukuPark for some water fun. And it sure was. I think I rode nine different giant water slopes! But for the kids... Well A has inherit my bathing genes. And that´s not a good thing. He is what you would call... a chicken.

Fun fun fun - in water land!

 

 

V, on the other hand, likes to train his swiming, but now it was too crowded and too much noise for him. He don´t like that. Too many impressions at the same time.


But on the last evening V found his favourite thing on the whole trip. And that was not what you would expect.
We had gone out to eat on a restaurant when V, tired of waiting for his meal, went on a stroll. And found... this:

9 different water slopes? Why? When you could go in the same escalator for more than 9 times?

A rainbow colored escalator!

We went up one time and he was laughing out loud all the way. Then a regular flight of stairs down. And then up. Again. And again. And again.
I lost count after 21.

Funny. We spent a lot of money to visit two parks, to cross the sea, to live in a hotel. But the best thing was an escalator.

Sorry, a rainbow colored escalator. That might explain it.
