Easter in the Ardennes was a great idea. The untypical sunny weather and the great activities we booked in advance turned this destination into a success with the kids. In Belgium, at the moment, all cultural and outdoor activities need to be booked in advance.
Here is out Top 5 outdoor activities to do with kids in the area of Liege, Belgium.

Pays de Fayence is the hinterland of the French riviera. This is where savy holidaymakers go to escape the crowds on the Cote d’Azure and enjoy the nature and laid back atmosphere of the Provence and its delicious food. You can still reach the Mediteranean Sea in about 45 minutes by car if you want to lay on the beach and swim in the sea. But it feels a world away, quiet and authentic compared with the souless seaside resorts.

During this last year we we had plenty of time to explore Belgium’s indoor and outdoor attractions. We decided to revisit some of our favorite museums and share our impressions with other desperate parents looking for a reason to leave the house while the phone is uncooperatively showing a rainy weather forecast, which almost never happens in Belgium (the rain, not the uncooperation)…..is what I would like to say, but I would be lying.
Here is our ultimate list of museums to visit with children in Brussels, Belgium:

Normady is a region that hides many lovely gems, often ignored by tourists that head up to Brittany and its lovely beaches. One of your first destinations here should be Mont-Saint-Michel, the world famous fortress surrounded by water (more about our visit here). The is also the region’s star city, Deauville, a chic seaside destination very popular with Parisians. But once the main tourist attractions are crossed from the list, it pays off to spend some time discovering less known cities and indulge in the local fresh seafood. And this is where Honfleur comes in! Continue reading “Getaway to Normandy – best children friendly restaurants in Honfleur and how we failed to find the gardens of Etretat”
We visited Córdoba during a sunny day in May. We started from Seville by high speed AVE train and arrived in 45 min to Córdoba station. A 15 min walk from the Station takes you in the heart of the city. It is all very compact and easy to access, perfect for a day trip.
The only slight challenge was pushing a pram on the cobblestone streets of the Juderia but with a bit of patience we managed to navigate them with our old and faithful McLaren Quest.

We did this road trip between early to end July 2019. That is high season in Scandinavia as most children return to School in August. I really dread travelling in high season but we did not have a choice this time. We wanted to take one longer holiday with our son before welcoming his sister and I was beyond 28 weeks pregnant when we set out from Berlin. There was no way I could have waited for mid-August!
We’ve been quiet on the blog for a while and we have a tiny reason for it. Our traveling tribe got a bit bigger in late September with the arrival of our daughter Larissa. And in traditional travel family style she took her first trip at 4 weeks old to the Netherlands at Hof Van Saksen Holiday village ( more on that in a separate post).
Three months post partum, the grey skies and wet weather of Northern Europe winter just did not cut it for us anymore so, after grabbing a good Black Friday deal on tui.nl we packed up our bags and headed to Schiphol Airport on 31 December. Destination Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.
