Haapsalu, Estonia
When we arrived by ferry in Tallinn, we immediately drove to Haapsalu. Haapsalu is less than 2 hours a way, even perfect for a weekend getaway. We were a bit surprised by the excellent condition of the roads in Estonia but heard that Estonia has put both tax and EU money into good use. We […]
Camping Holiday in Estonia
After the long hauls to Australia in March-April, we decided to explore Estonia, which is only 2 hours away on a ferry. We loved beautiful Estonia, there is so much more than Tallinns Old Town to it! Cost of the holiday This holiday cost us, a family of 4, about 500e, food, ferry (with car. […]
Doha, Qatar
On the way home from Australia we spent 2 days in Doha, Qatar. We were intrigued by it: it has such an amazing skyline built up in approximately 10 years. We didn’t know much about it though, just that it has a fair bit of oil money and that even though Islam is common the […]
Fun in the Geelong area, Victoria
We spent the last week of our holidays in Australia in the Geelong area. Even though the Autumn rain caught up with us, we also had some beautiful weather and a very enjoyable time. Watching four dolphins play while on the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff. We thought the ferry was pretty affordable, had free […]
Campgrounds in Australia and New Zealand
A quick ad: once again, while driving south from Sydney, we spent the nights in cabins on campgrounds. Just like we did last year exploring New Zealand. We’ve found them to be easy with kids and good value for money: clean (but simple), some cooking facilities, barbecues, a playground, often a pool and other entertainment […]
Raymond Island
A beautiful morning, a short free (for pedastrians) ferry ride, useful advise from the ferry driver about were to walk and we got to see these cute Australians as well as some roos in their natural habitat. According to our children the best part was to see a koala eat and poop at the same […]
Wildlife on the South Coast of NSW
We fell in love with Narooma, Australia! We were just supposed to stretch our legs a bit on a short boardwalk there in the morning before driving further. But then we spotted a small stingray. Then a lot of fish in various sizes and colours. And saw the tidal movement (which virtually doesn’t exist in […]
Shoalhaven Zoo in Nowra, NSW
We highly recommend the little zoo in Nowra, South Coast NSW, for a 1-2hr stop on a road trip with children. It was small enough but well taken care of and we got to see most of the “important” Australian wildlife there plus a few other wild animals. The entrance for a family was 78 […]
Sydney – Affordable Top 5 with kids
Sydney is an expensive place to live in, even for visitors the cost of accommodation is sky high. But it is such a lovely city that offers so much! Fortunately there are things one can do for almost no cost too. 1. Darling Harbour is no brainer but it IS a lovely area and has […]
Long Hauls with 5-6 yo Children
At the airport: great for PokémonGo and reading excersice for a beginner. The motivation to find out what the signs say is there. On the flight: our kids packed each in their bag a design book (cars/clothes, very much in use), a few comic magazines and books, yarn for doing some finger crocheting (which they […]
