Going to Rome with Children
Although it always depends of your kids' favorite activities, energy level and interests, the capital of Italy can be a quite rough place to bring children under eight for many reasons.

In fact, this experience can easily overwhelm the younger … [Read more...]

Pembrokeshire lies in the extreme south-western corner of Wales- it's a quiet and sparsely populated even for a part of Wales, but those visitors who … [Read more...]

My sister-in-law met my mother, sister and I and we went by car to the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal along the coast to Moville. The … [Read more...]
