There's also the butterfly place nearby which is ok for something to do for half and hour.

That's the spirit.

It's alright, it's pretty much over and done with in 60-90 mins.

We went early but it was quite toasty but enjoyed the stroll. Some cool stuff, the plane is impressive, some of the other bits are quite clever.

It's pretty striking in places and very impressive in others. Some bits are a bit naff, but that's like anything.

Good for an hour or so. May take some particularly keen visitors.

Got out as it was getting very busy with loud shouty people.

No. It was lots and lots of groups of friends / families who are just generally loud. Millions of posed photos, peace signs, pouts. It was just hateful.

Before it got busy it was lovely. All you needed were some quiet areas with a bar.

Proper does my head in, that. If ever I was to slap a random stranger, it would be for them doing just that.

It's awful isn't it?

What is wrong with smiling and looking happy and like you're enjoying yourself? Is my photo going to bring world peace if I flick the sign? What if I do it backwards? Aren't I just swearing then?

One of the funniest is when knobheads do this one; Shocker. Really?

****ing morons. I'll head over to Room 101 for this lot.

99.9% of the peace sign people are SE Asians, particularly a certain nationality, right?

I was once looking at the website for a dive resort in the Philippines and every single underwater photograph of the reef and marine life had a bl**dy idiot doing the peace sign while in his diving gear.

Oh yeah, for sure.

But I'm sure you'll agree that it's a contagious position and poisons the minds of folk the world over. All should be ashamed.

This. Totally this.

I thought it was ridiculous. And how much water is required to keep it in bloom? I'd far rather visit somewhere with plants better designed for the climate.
