On our return from Europe, Mr Bunny made plans with his mummy bunny to take her on a families reunited tour, visiting various parts of Scotland and Northern England catching up with long time friends, distant family and old acquaintances whilst taking the time to spend some quality time alone with his mum. With our trip around Europe slightly tense and fraught at times, the decision for each of us to spend some time alone or with a different bunny was very much the right

From the battlefields of Belgium we finished our Europe tour in yet another Theme Park, this time Efteling. Our most expensive stay of the trip but oh so worth it. We booked to stay in one of the Woodland Houses which are a short walk away, and on site of the theme park. I image it is a little like Centre Parks? Little detached houses, brick built, in a huge forest like area. Ours came with 3 bedrooms, a living room with furniture and fittings not entirely dissimilar to my

The journey continues. Leaving Austria behind we headed north into Bavaria aiming for the little town of Fussen. Bavaria is just stunning, the scenery, the views, the fresh air, the sense of space and peace. We are heading here purely to visit two castles, the extraordinarily beautiful Neuschwanstein and the nearby castle of Hohenschwangau. Neuschwanstein Castle, once the home of King Ludwig, and built high up on a mountain ridge is something quite special and fairy tale i

This is the trip we planned with a different dynamic. Three bunnies but this time Mr and Mrs B along with Daddy B. A trip intended to take in favourite places, new places, places of history and importance, and just a few fun and because places. We will be visiting Poland, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. A trip we will not forget in a hurry. The Journey Begins Poland We flew into Krakow with a view to spending just two days in the city to visit places

This island really was going to be swift hello goodbye kind of visit. We learned the hard way that the islands are very expensive, Uber taxis overpriced, public transport good, but not entirely reliable and accommodation a little pricy. With hindsight, Sardinia, unlike Sicily, would definitely have been a good place to hire a car. The first signs we saw as we left the airport were signage for motorhome sites and camping. Thinking we were going to experience another crazy

From Malta we jumped to Sicily, a massive 35 minutes away by plane. We really want to experience countries further afield, but alas for now, at least whilst this orange twit is causing flight issues long haul, we are going to keep to Europe and explore a few places of interest. I remembered far too late that Sicily belongs to Italy, slight glitch in the old memory bank there, but still, we love Italy, so why not visit its islands? Sicily. We have only a short time here, jus

After visiting Malta, Sicily and Sardinia, Rome was the next obvious choice of destination. We have been before, but with the Trevi Fountain hidden under a mass of scaffolding and blue tarpaulin, Mr Bunny has yet to see this sight of beauty. More about that later.... It is May. Is May a good time to visit Rome? No. No it is not. Least of all in a Jubilee year (whatever that was supposed to mean as we saw no evidence) and certainly not when a certain Race for Life type maratho

One of our eagerly awaited trips from Quito was Lake Quilotoa. A water-filled crater lake, the most western volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. For historians the caldera was formed by the collapse of this dacite volcano following a catastrophic VEI-6 eruption about 800 years ago. The dissolved minerals have created a shimmering aquamarine colour, far more dazzling that the described 'greenish colour' of the tourist literature. This was to be well worth the 'journey'. We had not

This trip started with a longing to hire a motorhome for a week during the Easter Break but ended with a very pleasant short break instead, in Majorca. How? Truth is, I wasn`t entirely sure I liked the motorhome we were offered, nor the short time that it was available to us, especially at half term when a certain little B could tag along on any trip. Wanting to think about options, I idly said, I bet we can`t get decent flight prices being half term, checked and found out

Why Lisbon, and why so soon after Egypt? Glitches and goofs, that`s why! For reasons unknown we flew to Egypt via Heathrow. We booked flights from Manchester to Heathrow to pick up the flight for the prebooked holiday, yet we somehow forgot to purchase return flights from Heathrow home. With no actual desire to rush home, and flights from Heathrow to Manchester a very expensive £200 plus, we decided we could probably fly elsewhere for less, getting our return to Manchester

Esna we sailed a long way to reach Esna, and very pleasant it was too. No early start, just a leisurely breakfast followed by a day of sailing. Our enthusiasm for all things Temple not even waning in the slightest, we were keen to see our next ancient delight. Walking distance from the boat we were told. In the middle of the town. Easy to see how this particular temple could have been lost quite literally to the sands of time, it stood as it was below the level of the surrou

Not every trip needs to involve a flight, and this time we decided to stay in the UK and take Daddy Bunny to visit a few places of interest around London and South of England that he has always wanted to see. Day One, to Stratford upon Avon and the home of Shakespeare. We only had a few hours to spare before needing to check into our hotel, so we wandered the old town of Stratford, just looking at the old buildings that still stand to this day from the time of Shakespeare hi

The first stop of a bit more country hopping. Why just fly to Malta, when Sicily lies so close, and if going to Sicily why not add in Sardinia, finish the trip in the first of the two Italian Capitals, Rome, then lastly the capital of fashion, Milan. Malta, Mr Bunny has never been to Malta whereas Mrs B went a long time ago, therefore we decided it was high time we visited this tiny little island in the Mediterranean together. Even though Malta is tiny, we still opted to s

We flew from Cairo into Luxor arriving quite late in the evening, met by our next guide quite quickly, but then asked to remain in the mini van to await the other couple who were landing in from Heathrow and also on our boat. We were slightly miffed to say the least as we had purposefully booked private transfers to get us the heck away from the airports as quickly as possible. Just shy of two hours we waited, and patience is not this bunny`s strong point. To say I was a lit

Egypt, a country that both Bunnies have wanted to see for a long time yet put off going due to the overwhelming reports we have read and heard regarding the continual clawing of begging hands, tipping harassment and beggars. Even the airport isn`t safe from scammers we read, passports withheld until money changes hands, scams? you name it, we read about it. For years this clouded my judgement and kept me away from what has since turned out to be one of the best tours I have e

Well I wonder how many people are going to comment on this post? these two Bunnies have travelled all around the World, seen many wonderful countries, posted our travels on Facebook with barely a comment or reference, but post the word `tacky` against my update on Benidorm, and suddenly every man and dog has a grr at me. Each to their own people! These Bunnies went to Benidorm for one reason, and one reason only. To catch up with Daddy Bunny having not seen him since Decemb

A whole new country, and one that we have wanted to visit for a long time. With a week to fill and no idea which destination to choose, we finally opted for a weeks break in Marrakesh. It is January, so whilst the weather is lovely, we prefer to be coastal in the summer months, a city break was perfect. We flew into the most beautiful airport building at Marrakech, and unfortunately as we tried to get cash out at the airport, this is a closed currency, we then discovered tha

After a brief layover in Fiji, (watching a monsoon rage from the airport window) We continued our journey to Australia, starting with Cairns. Quick bit of time info here, we planned to spend 4 days here, but an oversight regarding not only time differences but crossing the international date line, meant that 4 days turned into 3. We flew at midnight Saturday for 6 hours. We landed at 4am. We flew again at 9am and landed into Cairns at lunchtime on Monday.... What the he

As per the journey to Australia via certain points of interest, it was always my intention to break up the journey home as well. K.L seemed the obvious place. We stayed once again at the very conveniently located Soho Suites, and with a top end view of the Petronus Towers the location is perfect. This was to be a break of relaxation, home cooking and not a lot else. Truth be known we are also here to get away from the expense of Australia whilst passing time before heading o

From California we flew to Hawaii with the intention of having a pleasant weeks break in a nice hotel with a pool to recover from our hectic four days in Disney. Not a full weeks break of nothingness, as we planned to include a day at Mrs Bunnies bucket list destination of Pearl Harbour, but definitely a few days of relaxation. From the outset Hawaii was, well, weird. We had no preconceived ideas of what to expect, we had chosen not to watch any You Tube videos, in the hope
