Forget the Easter eggs, Easter 2009 presented a 4 day long weekend and we were off for a road trip through Southern France and train trip through Switzerland.

Eager to take on the snow tops, we ventured to Cortina, Italy for what we pictured to be a peaceful and relaxing snow trip. Boy were we wrong - the only thing we ended up picturing was a face full of snow and a new set of blue and purple bruises.
Whoo hoo - talk about a great place! South Africa reminded me so much of home, I actually came back to London feeling like I had ‘topped up’ on ‘home’! We spent 9 days in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pilanesberg with our friends Nicci & Jono and their families.
After the adventures in Sweden and visiting the awesome Ice Hotel, we continued our trip onwards and upwards from Narvik to Tromsø then back down to Oslo in Norway.
We spent our Christmas/New Year time in beautiful Scandinavia going as far North as we could handle in the middle of Winter! A fantastic trip to Sweden and Norway, we had some pretty cool adventures including Kim chasing a pack of Huskies…
We spent a fast paced 11 days in Egypt being blasted by the amazing ancient history and awesome sights. What a spectacular place to visit! Though most of us on our tour agreed it is probably a once-in-a-lifetime place only, you can’t help but get swept away by the charm, skill and intelligence of the ancient Egyptians. Be warned, this is a very… very long post.
It’s difficult to put into words a summary of our weekend in Krakow. One reason is because I was criticised in a previous post on Belfast for focusing too much on the negatives of a place and not enough on the positives. Another reason would be because of the sheer horror and evil that seeps into your pores in a place like Auschwitz.
What an eye-opener to say the very least! Our weekend trip to Amsterdam was full of surprises!
It started off in a bit of a rush. Trying to get to King’s Cross station was a challenge in itself! When we did get there, another couple was rushing madly to the finish line as well - low and behold, it was Toby and Charlotte who were off to Bruges for the weekend. Had a quick chat to them then headed to our different carriages on the train.

We did it! We climbed the 3 peaks of the Yorkshire Dales… Given we didn’t do it anywhere near the record time of 2 hours 50-something minutes, but we still climbed all 3!
We spent a day in Bath with Nicci, Jono and Nicci’s mum and her friend. What a gorgeous day in the English countryside! The weather was perfect and the company just as good
