  • Rome: How to Spend 4 Days in the Italian Capital

    Whilst on holiday in Poland, we decided to book our next adventure to Lithuania. Unfortunately, due to COVID travel restrictions, we had to change our plans last minute and we ended up booking Rome! Our birthdays are both in September so we like to have a long weekend break around the end of the month…

  • Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo

    Travelling across Egypt with a toddler Resort holidays can be really handy with a family; all-inclusive food options, beaches, pools, and kids’ entertainment ready to keep the little ones occupied. Egypt is a great option if you want to get out of Europe in winter because it has the African heat keeping temperatures in the…

  • Malta

    We visited Malta in November 2022 and were pleasantly surprised by the weather. It sat around 20C, a bit of rain (one day was torrential downpour and thunderstorms) and some days reaching mid 20’s without a cloud in the sky! One thing that’s worth noting about Malta is the number of mosquitos. Our trip here…

  • Bled

    Transport The most popular way to get around Bled is by foot. The walk around the lake is beautiful and only takes around an hour and a half to do a full lap. There is a little road-train that goes around if you need it, but if you’re able to then I’d highly recommend walking.…

  • Slovenia

    We visited Slovenia in May 2022 with our 10 month old daughter, and had the most amazing holiday. We first travelled into the capital for a few days, before heading out to Lake Bled for the rest of our trip. Overall the trip was reasonably priced (Ljubljana being the cheaper of the two places) and…

  • Ljubljana

    Transport We flew into Ljubljana airport, which is a little way out from the city, so we needed transport to get to our accommodation in the centre. There were a few options for how to get there, including taxi, shuttle bus, and public bus – we opted for the shuttle bus as it was the…

  • Brussels Christmas Markets

    We visited Belgium in December 2022 during the week before Christmas, to start the festivities and to have a little break before the chaos of the holidays. We were only there for a few days and it rained about 80% of the time, but we still had a great time showing our 18 month old…

  • HD Parque Cristobal, Gran Canaria

    Our first holiday abroad in over a year, and our first holiday as a family of 3, was to Gran Canaria. We never would’ve picked one of the Canary Islands (and we never will again), but we needed somewhere warm in November which isn’t too far away as Adelaide was only 3 and a half…
