LOL, dodgy Minecraft!
No, I didn't find the blue whale... I did remember it vaguely as being across the street, but I didn't see any bridge connection.
I also missed the ancient grapevine!
Oh, you have to do documentation for homeschooling?? Sounds tedious...
It was just past the hands on area! You had to go out the upstairs and turn left and there's a corridor that you go down and then it's RIGHT THERE.
I think, I know it's around there somewhere.
I have two shots from a homeschool miscellany post from 2021.
And here's the grapevine from a very slightly earlier visit:
That one was pretty easy to miss as it's closer to the minor entrance/exit where I think there's a cafe and on the outside. I probably have a shot of the original wooden frame (that was kind of attached to/part of the building behind it) that it used to climb on but that's more searching than I feel like doing while caffeinating ^_^;
The documentation is kind of tedious but it's not too hard in the grand scheme. My blogs are pretty much it, I just have to collate them into a pdf to send off and the moderator (who has since retired, I'm really hoping I get another great one for the next two years, 17yo will finish end of this year and then it's just 15yo to go I'm so oooooooooooollllllllld aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh) goes through it and does the actual report from that.
I am really very extremely behind this year aaaaahhhhhh
Hmmm... I don't remember seeing that! Weird, it is huge...
