Never Never Land I was so excited to bring my daughter and husband to this storybook villa. I remember walking into it with my cousins and being part of the fairy tale.
Sadly, when we arrived it was nothing like what I remembered. The book entrance was there, but no Humpty. The woman's old shoe was run down. I only saw a couple cottages along the gorgeous trails, yet they were covered in disgusting slander. It saddens me that this place is no longer kept up. I enjoyed it so much as a child and it's sad that the fairtales I grew up on are starting to disappear. Hopefully, someone with a heart and soul of a child will come in and revamp this amazing tourist land.
