Another year has raced on past, so quickly, in fact, we couldn’t get this annual year in review out before the end of the year! It’s always a time where we reflect on the year, and to update all our friends, family, and online followers. We would have to say that the best and the […]
When we mentioned we were traveling to the Netherlands, we had a suggestion from a fellow traveller to stay a little out off the city of Amsterdam, in the town of Haarlem. It turned out to be an excellent idea, thanks Thomas. We stayed for six nights in Haarlem. Coming directly from our visit to Morocco […]
For a long time we have been wanting to visit Morocco, hence we planned our European route with Morocco as a must see (even though it is not part of Europe!). We had high expectations of Morocco, and in some ways it lived up to them, but it was not all great with a few disappointing […]
It may be a long way from Bali, but coming to the town of Ronda in southern Spain and all we can think of is the Australian TV ad featuring the love story of Ronda and her Balinese friend Ketut. In reality, we couldn’t be further away from Bali, with the only similarity being the […]
We have been to Spain before, visiting beautiful Barcelona and Madrid in 2005, this time heading to the south of Spain with the kids in tow. There were many cities we wanted to visit in the region, such as Córdoba, Málaga and Granada, but due to limited time have just come to Seville, and will […]
For the Portugal leg of our European tour we flew into Lisbon, but instead of staying in the capital we went 30 minutes up the coast to the seaside town of Cascais. After having completing more than half of our trip we welcomed the chance to slow down just a little and spend a few […]
You may not know, but Clare is a quarter Italian, with both grandparents on her mother’s side born in Italy. As with most Italian families, there are lots of cousins, and many are living in Italy. Last time we visited Italy, we dropped in on some of them in the south, where the cousins were […]
The original plan for our European holiday was to stay longer in a little village in Tuscany, base ourselves for a month or two, and really live the dream and relax. Due to the difficulty of getting a visa for that long, we reduced our total trip to only three months and allocated only a week in the […]
Rome is full of so many amazing places to see, but not all are of interest to our three little ones. For our own enjoyment and sanity we have tried hard to do and see things that they will enjoy, or at least make those that are not more bearable for them. Even though our […]
The first stop on our European tour is Athens. We had a pretty rocky start to our visit here, but we soon got into travel mode. Athens is a very busy and expansive city with many great things to see and do. We had fun exploring the narrow streets of the city for shopping, eating […]
