We are in full swing planning our winter travels. We want to do a Christmas trip with Billie (14) and a New Year's trip by ourselves. When travelling as a family, it is important to get everyone's wishes together. We all enjoy travelling, but have slightly different priorities (see below). You also have to take into account finances.

Luxurious and delicious as an appetiser or snack with a glass of champagne or white wine. Even people who think they don't like mussels tend to like them!
Read moreFinally we are out with the motorhome again! We left work early the day before yesterday and drove all evening. Only after eleven in the evening we arrived. It is a bit difficult to find a new place when it is dark, but we parked in a car park by the water.
Read moreWe love adventure, but some adventures are best experienced in book form. Climbing K2 is such an adventure. In 'K2 on life and death', Fredrik Sträng describes the 2008 expedition to K2, when eleven climbers lost their lives. You do wonder why they put themselves through this, but it is also fascinating to follow them up the mountain.
