Venice in a day – Day Five of the Great #ItalyRoadTrip
(be sure to follow us on Twitter or Instagram for regular updates on our four week adventure touring Italy in a motorhome) Up bright and early, we were at the campground reception office by 8.30 to buy our bus tickets into Venice. The bus stop is right outside the camp gates, and the bus comes every 30 minutes – it couldn’t be easier. A very helpful local stopped us getting on the wrong bus, and then assisted us with the...
Starting out in the LittleStuff #ItalyRoadTrip
Now I have fixed a sort-of internet connection (last-ditch solution of tethering to the husband’s phone seems to work) i can begin to catch you up on our Grand Italy Road Trip, which we set off on last Friday. If you’re interested in keeping up, do follow us on Instagram (@littlestuffstuff and @courtenayphoto is the husband who has the phone which actually allows data connection). So. Day 1. Up at 5.30 for the uneventful...
Last Minute Cruise Deals – read this and don’t tell me you’re not tempted…
Thanks to writing about cruises for the family last week, they’ve been on my mind a bit. I admit it – I’ve gone from no-thank-you to sorely-tempted in one blog post. So I had a quick casual look at some cruise holiday deals (oh come on, we ALL do it. Bored for five minutes, cup of coffee in hand… before you know it you’re either nosily browsing Rightmove for a new million pound house, or planning your...
Planning the NEXT Adventure – Paris, I think.
So whilst we’re in the frantic last stages of planning our amazing Italian Road Trip (we leave in four days *gulp*), I admit my brain is already turning towards what’s next. Because I’ve got the bug now. We’ve done so much this year – the Welsh activity weekend, our Scottish Adventure, a grown up Paris city break, the Italian Road Trip… but I really really want to take the children to Paris....
Cruising – would you go with children?
I’ll be honest – I’ve never really fancied going on a cruise. I’m not sure why – I think it was the feeling that it was simply being locked in a hotel with all the guests for days ata time. I like my ‘me’ space too much! But recently? I’ve been wondering. Because I’ve been sorting and organising for our amazing Family Road Trip (which starts next week. SO absolutely not ready yet...
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
When we were setting out our plans for our #GoProAdventures there was one activity which Boy demanded, begged and pleaded for. Surfing. We tried it in Wales earlier this year, and he was utterly bitten by the surf bug, aching and aching to go and do it again. Sadly, our #GoProAdventures week coincided with a week totally lacking any kind of swell – standing up on a surf board wouldn’t have been any kind of a challenge,...
