Our Adventure ends with 3 nights in Paris

Ah Paris - the reason we came to Europe in the first place! Two years ago Felicity announced she wanted to go to Paris  and I thought it was a brilliant idea. So we had a wonderful three days eating strawberries & cheese, climbing the Eiffel tower, visiting the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Catacombs, Sacre Coeur, Luxembourg Gardens and shopping on the Champs Elysee. It was a perfect end to a remarkable holiday.When can we go back? 

Our Adventure - 4 nights in Ireland

We flew into Cork and our wonderful hosts, the Brady family were their to meet us. It was great to have the locals showing us around and to share it with other visiting friends The Gabor Family. Highlights included: visiting Cobh, Joe Brady's breakfast Fry-ups, visiting St Michael's Skelligs, puffins, touring the Ring of Kerry, navigating through narrow countryside roads in cloud, trying Guinness in Irish Pubs and kissing the Blarney Stone. We know we didn't have enough time here - just saw a small corner of this extremely beautiful country. 


Our Adventure - 3 nights in the Cotswolds

Our three day in Cotswold's included a fantastic day trip to Warwick Castles and also a much-anticipated visit to see our friends the Knox Family just outside Bath. The girls' got to ride Daisy's new pony and we had a dinner at the most picturesque pub in the world. The Cotswold's villages are just so photogenic. We dined outside two of the three nights in the village of Bourton-on-the water.
