Lanzarote as a family holiday destination

Lanzarote as a family holiday destination

Baby friendly holiday in Lanzarote? Until now, my holidays (other than trips to Italy for regular breaks such as Christmas and August) have been in pretty exotic locations, usually with a lot of scuba diving thrown in. But life has changed a lot in the last year, and this time, the holiday requirements were a little different. Gone the super long haul flight, gone the high humidity, high heat temperatures, gone the fancy boutique hotel or basic barefoot dive resort….

Travel bites: a few days in Lavenham, Suffolk

Travel bites: a few days in Lavenham, Suffolk

*** updated 2019 *** It is no secret to those who know me well that recently London has become a little unbearable for me.

I had only visited for a few hours many years ago, and…

Travel bites – a weekend in Copenhagen

Travel bites – a weekend in Copenhagen

I had never been to Denmark until January this year, when a business trip became the excuse to stop over for the weekend and enjoy the Danish capital with @bmcboy. Yes it was cold, but we got some beautiful sunshine too which allowed us to explore it on foot walking around for a few hours and taking in the sights and the food, of course. Kong Arthur Hotel The centre itself is spread out but indeed walkable. We chose to…
