A Challenging Week in Siem Reap
What a week we had in Siem Reap, Cambodia. A family travel rollercoaster, dazzling highs and anxious, dark (literally) lows.
This is one of those “what we’ve been doing on the road” posts, so lots of chatty stuff about us and a little hard information. I’ll write the detailed posts later and eventu

One Day Tour of Battambang Cambodia
Everyone knows about the Bamboo Railway in Battambang, but there are many more things to do and see in this cool Cambodian town. It’s the second largest town in the country and lies in the heart of rice growing country. Despite it’s size, Battambang retains is a quiet riverside charm and remnants o

Hotel in Battambang Cambodia
Battambang Cambodia, French colonial archetecture and a playground, down by the river at sunset.
We loved Battambang, this is the sort of town that’s great to just hang out for a few days, or weeks. It has a good vibe, quieter streets and a lovely riverside walk with a playground for the kids ( an

How to Haggle in Bangkok.
The Khao San Rd is a shopper’s paradise in the early evenings. But you really need to know how to haggle in Bangkok.
Everyone knows you need to haggle over prices in Thailand and most other parts of Asia. Some are good at it, knocking prices down casually with a confident smile, some are rubbish.

What do they eat in Cambodia? A market in Cambodia in photos.
I posted today about our cookery course in Battambang, Cambodia. It was a fabulous experience. As part of the tour we visited the local market, something we do often, but on this occasion we stayed longer than usual and took more photos. I’m publishing these photos separately because sensitive viewe

First Day in India. Adjusting
Hello !
We’re in India, this is our first post, on our second day. I’m going back to travel-journal style blogging because, to be honest, running a website for money takes far too much time. So no frills, no fussing, no spellcheck, no SEO, but the adverts have to stay. My blog is replacing my trave

South Goa. Problems and Great Experiences
Part 4 of our family India travel blog ( journal) series.
Does it seem to you that we have more problems than any other travellers? I’m pretty certain we don’t, I think everyone has problems on the road, they just don’t tell the world about it. By the end of the trip the hurdles have been jumped and

Loving Anjuna and Getting from Goa to Kerala
A week in North Goa, time to move south for our flight out of Kerala to Nepal.
I haven’t filled you in on our time in Anjuna, the internet remained bad and we remained busy having a good time, exploring, eating, drinking, market shopping, croc spotting, mummified saint gazing, scootering and swimmin

Anjuna and North Goa, How it’s Changed
Anjuna is the northernmost of the big tourist beaches of North Goa. The touristic development starts at Ford Aguada and stretches along the long sandy beach through Candolim, Calangute and Baga. Three towns that have merged into each other over the years.
Looking South at Baga Beach, stretching to

India. Fort Cochin, Kerala.
Fort Cochin is also known as Kochin or Cochi, don’t jump on me over the spelling, I’ve seen it written every-which-way during our time here.
This is post 6 of our random, hectic, unplanned India family travel blog. If you haven’t been following so far, blogging time is very short, my usual highly p

Kovalam, Kerala. Family Holiday Perfection
Kovalam beach in Kerala, India. An almost perfect family holiday destination and a wonderful experience for us and the children.
This India family travel blog has been random, unpredictable and not entirely free from disasters, but our last stop of our 1 month in India, Kovalam, was the perfect endi

30 Reasons Kids Enjoy Travel
I’ve been asked more than once if my kids enjoy travel. Some readers are concerned that children could be sad being away from friends and family or that they miss pets, bikes and toys. Others feel kids need stability and routine and may find long travel days and uncertainty hard to cope with. I can

Recovering From India.
One day we were enjoying India in beautiful Kovalam, planning our next-day flight to Kathmandu and subsequent overland return to North India, the next we were landing in Heathrow, tired, displaced, confused, sick and thoroughly disorientated.
It was a very weird experience, India one day, London the

Decisions in Romania
something like this, when its finished….
I haven’t published a post in a couple of weeks now. Mostly because we’ve been busy, tearing around Romania in our vomit inducing Dacia. The car sickness has plagued Boo and I, D as always, just reads for hours in the back seat as we explore this fascinating

Low Cost Family Hotels and Apartments in London
London is expensive and if, like us, you want to spend your cash on the incedible experiences the city has to offer, rather than on a place to sleep, you’ll be looking for a great deal on budget hotels, apartments or other family accommodation.
What Do We Look For When Finding a London Hotel?

Budgeting for Travel. Don't Ask Me!
I’ve been asked many times about budgeting for travel and how we do it. It’s still surprising to me that anyone should care about our bank account, but I guess that’s the world we’re in now because of the blog. We want to help people live their dreams, sharing how we manage financially is part of th
