World’s Tallest Lego Tower
Thousands of children and families helped celebrate Lego’s 50th year by building a 100ft tower made entirely of the plastic blocks at Legoland Windsor (UK). Each 20cm (roughly 8 inches) section was assembled on the ground and lifted into place with a crane. The tower took 4 days to build and is made up of over 500,000 Lego bricks.
How long the record will last is anyone’s guess. The previous record set just last year by a team from Toronto was 96ft using 464,000 bricks, which in turn edged out an earlier 94ft effort at Legoland California.

Unusual Hotels Of The World
Perusing this site we found hotels in caves, igloos, trains, and one even inside of a giant dog.
While there are several interesting and certainly creative hotels and locations for hotels, without a doubt our favorite is the Woodpecker Hotel in Vasteras, Sweden which is located “13 meters up the biggest oak tree in the Wasapark in the center of Vasteras”.
In addition to browsing by categories the site also features an interactive map that allows you to find hotels by location.
