The most gorgeous European half-term adventure… 🇫🇷 The most gorgeous European half-term adventure… 🇫🇷🇳🇱🇧🇪

~Dover to Calais ⛴️ 

~First stop a cute little Gite for the night in Oye-Plage, 20 minutes from Calais. We checked out a bit of history with a visit to German observation tower. Had a look at the gorgeous beach and a trip to a supermarket  for supplies… love a Carrefour! Oh and the best pizza from a pizza vending machine! It was Sunday and everywhere was shut so this was brilliant. If you see one try it…

~Then 4 hours drive to the Netherlands @centerparcsdeeemhof for 4 nights. It was an active few days! We hired bikes and cycled everywhere, spent two hours a day at Aqua Mundo the sub-tropical indoor waterpark! Rapids, water slides, a huge wave pool, just so much fun! We hired paddle boards at the marina and the kids loved the bungee trampolines. 

~Then a final night in Belgium before catching the ferry home. We stayed in a nice apartment with a cool play park and bouncy castle right off our terrace. We had time for a quick trip to the beach and another supermarket stop for the kids favourite Belgium waffles! 

And all of this cost under what a 4 night stay at Center Parcs in the UK would’ve cost us during May halfterm. Totally recommend it if anyone’s thinking about booking….

I didn’t realise how much we needed a break until I didn’t realise how much we needed a break until we were away from our everyday life. Slowing down and having time to think and focus more on family time was just what we needed.

Travelling with kids isn’t always relaxing, but the experiences and memories out weighed the stressful moments! Over the years we’ve adapted and changed our style of travel. It’s now all about slower travel, finding micro moments of joy and less is definitely more! 

It was the first long haul flight for our youngest and our first time on a long haul with a medical condition. It didn’t come without its stresses, but we overcame them and will totally do it all again! 

And the jet lag? The jet lag was hard! But totally worth it! 

Bring on the next adventure….

You don’t always have to go far for adventure.. Sometimes the best adventures are finding rope swings in the woods, making sofa mountains and digging a big muddy mess in the garden while Mummy pretends she’s totally cool with it because they had so much fun!! 😆

5. Sitting at the top of sofa mountain!
6. Fun at the Brew with the Crew event at Calshot RNLI

What could be better than a sauna and a sea dip on What could be better than a sauna and a sea dip on a Tuesday morning?? The sauna was 85°C and the sea was 8°C! Such a difference in temperature and so invigorating! 

📍Saltwater Sauna, Avon Beach, Mudeford
💰£15 per person for a communal sauna 
🚙 Park in Avon Run Road above the beach for free from October to March.
🩵It’s the perfect way to take a moment for yourself and a great thing to do with a friend @courtneywatts0 or two… especially if you bump into more friends @sea_blue_lucie_lu and it becomes a very chill sauna party!
