  • London to Brussels

    August 1, 2025 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We've already had the Monopoly Deal out. That is going to cause some arguments. I'm sure of it with how competitive we all are. 🫣 We've had our legendary Lebanese 😋 Played a game at Paddington of trying to stop the timer at 10 seconds and got some free power drink sachets which will come in handy when we're all lagging from walking miles following Oliver🤣 Now we're on the Eurostar and on our way to Brussels.Read more

  • Luxembourg

    August 2, 2025 in Luxembourg ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Had a bit of a delay on the train this morning but still made good time. We love it here. Although a flying visit today, we've managed to go swimming at Coque and jumping off 5 metre diving boards and walk around the city 😀. Early night tonight as we are up and off early tomorrow.Read more

  • Constance

    August 4, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Well, yesterday was one epic travel day! 😉 After 5 trains to get us from Luxembourg to Constance, a 7 hour train journey, we then surprised the children that we were going to see Ed Sheeran in Zurich. So we grabbed a quick dinner and then were back on the train to Zurich where he was playing last night. 😆 He was brilliant again. Adelaide got her t-shirt this time, and we didn't get back to the hotel until nearly 2 am. It was a great day, though, full of people watching and laughing when people missed the train🤣Read more

  • Constance

    August 5, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    We had a cracking day yesterday. We had a good lie in after our late night then hired bikes and explored Constance. It's so picturesque here. All gorgeous little houses 🏘 😍. We stopped for ice cream and marvelled at how clear the water was in the lake. We cycled through Germany and Switzerland. Fantastic.Read more

  • Austria

    August 5, 2025 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We've had a great morning on the Ferry to Friedrichshafen. Although it crashed into the dock just before we boarded😮 it still boarded us and went on its way. It took a few hours and was quite windy at points, but with views of the zeppelin's flying over head, it was stunning. I did say it would be cool if we went in the zeppelin, but Oliver then pointed out it was £600 each for a ride, so that was the end of that🤣 Pretzels were had and card games played. As we got off the boat, the police arrived with a beathylizer for the captain. We loved the drama🤣🥰 We literally sped through Austria and got a connecting train to Liechtenstein.Read more

  • Liechtenstein

    August 5, 2025 in Liechtenstein ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We stopped off in Liechtenstein for half an hour. It was very pretty but not much there other than some friendly people. The church was shut but great view from the top of the hill it was on. I've never seen so many mountains ⛰️ Onto Chur.Read more

  • Chur

    We arrived in Chur yesterday and went straight to the hotel. It's so beautiful right in the mountains. The view when we woke up was breathtaking. Onto Italy today.

  • Chur to Tirano on the Bernina Express

    August 6, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    WOW!!! This is by far the best train ride we've ever had. It took us 4 and a half hours to go through the mountains. We stopped when we were at the top. Views of Waterfalls, glaciers, villages, goats, hikers, cyclists and much more along the way. When we got off the other end in Italy we had a nice lunch in the square 😋 then it was on to Milan.Read more

    August 9, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    OMG. We spent from 8.30 till 22.30 travelling yesterday. We went through 3 countries and changed trains 5 times🚆. All with no more than 20-minute stops. Grabbing lunch was an eventful lunch. It was exhausting but fun. We had some nice trains we had some grotty trains. Ultimately, we made it to Barcelona, which was the plan, and now we have a ferry tonight to Morocco, which leaves at midnight⛴️ 😀.Read more

  • Barcelona

    August 9, 2025 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    We've spent the day in Barcelona. We went to the Basilica and while there complete philistines that we are we spent most the time watching a woman dance and Harrison learnt to play boules. It was brilliant😁🤣. Now we're on our way to get our ferry to Morocco.should hopefully arrive on Monday. Wish us luck🤞Read more

  • Ferry to Morocco

    August 13, 2025 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 40 °C

    The Ferry was so much fun, from Barcelona to Tangier. We hardly saw the children😂. Adelaide spent her time exploring, and Harrison was in the soft play area the whole time. We had a good relaxation in our cabin. It was a really calm crossing. Late getting on as we didn't board till 2.00am and we saw a massive cockroach in the terminal, which made me jump, which was hilarious apparently 😆🤦‍♀️.Read more

  • Medina Fez

    August 13, 2025 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 39 °C

    We went for a tour around the medina in Fez today. It was really beautiful. The children were more interested in the cats everywhere. We ended the day in the pool, which we needed to cool down after walking around in 42-degree heat 🥵 🔥 ☀️Read more
