CroatiaDugi Otok is one of the more remote islands - it took nearly two hours by boat from Zadar. We arrived in the afternoon and headed straight to camp Kargita at the north of the island by the famous lighthouse at Veli Rat. It was a beautiful setting, with camp ground right on the rocky beach and only a handful of campers there. Hayyan got very brave in the water, swimming under and going out of hisRead more
CroatiaWe did some shopping in Koper in Slovenia, where everyone was very stern and took themselves very seriously, before heading down the coast into Croatia. We camped the first night at the Lim, a fish farm inlet, with bat cave, where we got eaten alive by mosquitoes. We then spent the day in Rovinj (a laid back Venice) before parking up at dusk at Preluk, a beautiful bay of crystal clear waters,Read more
ItalyWe parked in an industrial car park in Port Marghera on the mainland and got the train to Venice. Venice was beautiful and quite fantasy like and we spent the day getting fed up with lifting the buggy up bridge steps. After ferrying up and down the grand canal on the water bus we found a much needed kids play park! We stayed another night on camping Fuseta an architect designed campsite built inRead more
ItalyWe spent a lovely day in Desenzano on Lake Garda with Tagans cousin and family before making the journey to Venice.
MoroccoAssilah was where we said goodbye to Morocco. We played on the beach, wandered in the pretty medina and roughed our last minging campsite. We knew we would miss this country.

The Cyber gardens killed a good couple of hours as the little one was able to run off some steam in amongst the tropical plants. We headed to a campsite on the edge of the city the Relais deRead more
MoroccoOn Vandogtraveller’s recommendation we made our way to Sidi Kaouki, a sleepy surfers’ beach with a few surf shacks and a couple of hotels and uninspiring campsites. Loads of winkles and mussels to be found in the rock pools. Saw a man who had been fishing in a rubber ring he had made himself. Tagan learnt to surf. He’s a natural.
MoroccoNamed the mini Marrakech, we met my dad and his partner here and stayed in the lovely Riad Dar Dzahara for a few nights. The Riad was a calm oasis right in the centre of the bussling medina. We ate tagine, wandered the souks and explored the city in horse and cart, interspersed with screaming toddler tantrums.
