Have you ever wondered how families afford to go on lengthy bouts of travel? Yep, so did we. No matter how much adventurous spirit we thought we had, we had to work out how to fund this thing. It takes a fair bit of digging to get a fulsome picture of the many and varied…
We didn’t have any burning aspirations to visit Italy. As with life in general, our travels have been largely determined by circumstance than great planning. After winter in UK and northern Europe, and with the emergence of spring, we knew we would want some certainty on the sunshine stakes. Spain, Portugal, France and Italy were…
We love reading blogs from other travellers, particularly those on the road with kids in tow. It’s fair to say, we rely heavily on the advice dealt out through the experience of others; general travel tips, things to do, places to stay. What we miss though are more stories of days where things just don’t…
Japanese food is very hard to beat. But outside the pure happiness that is sashimi, sushi, teppanyaki, udon noodles, curry and co. we had a number of foodie moments that we’ll remember for a long time. 1. Ice cream in bread Yep, you heard right. Melonpan is a light, sweet crunchy bun that is stuffed…
We love and adore Italy and now wonder why we haven’t had it in our travel sights before. But landing for the first time in any country always comes with some anxiety – our heart rates go up a few bpm, our palms get sweaty and we growl at the kids more than usual –…
Dunstable is not a place you’ll find on a tourist map, but that doesn’t mean bypassing it on the way to somewhere else. Dunstable is a town in Bedfordshire about 15 minutes from Luton Airport and an hour or so drive north west of central London. Like we’ve blithely and naively stumbled upon before is…
What is northern England all about? Best not to ask us because for much of our two weeks in Leeds, we were knocked flat and bedridden for the second TeamBuss mega-gastro-sharing-event. Squirt again being the infectious agent (maybe we should change her name?), we went down one-by-one like flies at an Aussie barbeque. Bug this…
If you’ve ever found yourself in a place where wind turbines pepper the view as far as the eye can see you know to brace yourself for a few steady breezes. The coast of North Wales is such a place. We stayed in a cabin at the Golden Sands Holiday Park in Rhyl – a…
I think we’ve hinted before that we are big fans of the Horrible Histories books and TV show (with the kids overheard reciting the chorus to the song listing every British monarch in history). We always had plans to visit a castle or two across England, Wales and Ireland we were lucky to receive a…
The slowest transport around London is arguably by bus. We reckon it’s also the most relaxing and enjoyable (assuming there’s no need by anyone, especially the kids, for an emergency toilet stop). Sitting in the front seats of the upper deck gave us a roving view of London as we twisted and turned our way…
