The end of May found us in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This was my second time in Croatia after a long weekend in Zagreb a couple of years back. However, it was the first time for the whole family in the Dalmatian city of Dubrovnik. It is a laid back part of the country and in enjoys plenty of Sunny days so make sure to add it to your holidays list. Here is what we enjoyed visiting in South Croatia.

Rotterdam is an easy drive from two European capitals (1 h from Amsterdam and 1h30 from Brussels) and a major port in Northern Europe. If you or your kid have some interest in boats or ships, this is definitely the place to go for a day of fun and adventures.

This was our second trip to Seville. Both husband and I were there pre- kids and had a first experience of the city. We decided to return and indulge a bit more in our love of Spanish food and moorish buildings. Continue reading “What to do and where to eat in Seville with kids”
We flew via London and landed in Muscat on Saturday early morning after a 8 h overnight flight . If you do go via London Heathrow International Airport , there is a pretty cool play area for toddlers and pre- schoolers at gate A3 in Terminal 5. Check it out if you have more than a couple of hours to spare. Otherwise, keep in mind that Heathrow is huge and even transfer within the same terminal might take almost one hour.

Oman doesn’t require much in terms of preparation. It is a developed country where you will find readily available many travel essentials. It does however require some prior thinking about how you plan to move from one place to another or even within the same city.

Paris is only 1h20 min away by fast train from Brussels so we do end up there quite often. We prefer Spring or Autumn as the day is longer and there are hundreds of options for Outdoors sightseeing to choose from. By now we have done all the ‘big hits’: Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Musee du Quay Branly, Centre Pompidou, Versailles and ticked off all the landmarks (mostly in our pre-baby days). The thing about Paris is, it never gets boring.

I am a terrible skier. I learned to ski at 20 something (also in France, by the way) and continue to be insecure about my abilities and afraid of picking up too much speed. Husband on the other hand is a good, confident skier that seamlessly goes from red slope to black slope to apres- ski drinks.
When you had enough of the beach, you should definitely jump in your car to discover more of the island. We started by exploring the North during a day road-trip to the Shipwreck viewpoint. This was the longest trip as we almost crossed the entire island. Even so, we still managed to squeeze a bit of beach time in the late afternoon. Other activities can be done on less than a half day as the distances are relatively short and many points of interest, including Zante town, are located in the Southern part of the island. Here is a list with fun family activities in Zakynthos:
The beach is never too far on Zakynthos. Wherever you are on the island, you will have a great choice of beaches, some only a short drive away. We have toured a good number of them in search for the perfect family beach. For us, that is clean sand (with few or no pebbles) and water, smooth self for a few meters and no motor sports or loud bars to spoil the atmosphere.
Here is a short review of of the beaches in Vasilikos and its surroundings, in the order of preference:
