We’ve been to the White Isle many times but this trip promised to be a bit different and we arrived with a plan to see parts of the island we hadn’t been to before.

Our first family holiday! Louis James is 6 months old and it’s our first big trip, along with Dan’s parents.

We landed at Tivat airport before lunch on Monday but the airport and car hire scenario were carnage so it took a little while to get through.

3 years after our original trip was cancelled, we finally made it to Marrakesh! We were staying at Sakkan, one of the many Riads which are small hotels built around courtyards, and ours was lovely. It’s amazing how the hustle and bustle of the medina (old town) disappears once you’re inside and it feels really … Continue reading Marrakesh, Morocco. December 2022 →

A short flight to Marseille, an extremely long passport control queue then a taxi that went via the wrong hotel and we arrived! Our hotel, Domaine La Pierre Blanche was a lovely little spot in the French countryside, small and boutique with a restored farmhouse vibe.
