Top 5 Must See Sights in Paris
Paris is simply beautiful. There is a reason it is one of the most famous and visited cities in the world. Everywhere you turn you are confronted by historical sites, streets spilling with excitement, amazing food and beautiful style. Walking through Paris is simply a joy. The streets are wide and clean and easy to navigate. Each area is unique and has it’s own vibe. We loved it! Luckily Scott and I have already visited 3 times before. In fact we actually got engaged in Paris in 2004! This meant that we weren’t overly fussed about whether we went into all...

After a bit of deliberation we bought a last minute ticket to Paris on the Eurostar. I loved our time in London but was super keen to get to the land of croissants, cheese and wine! We took an early train into London Euston and went through the new terminal. It was surprisingly fast and the best part was someone came and found me at the end of a long queue and opened a lane for us as we had small children! Errr That hasn’t happened anywhere before! Well done Eurostar! The train was fast, clean and got us...

This whole trip to Europe was a little last minute. We decided to go a month before we left and we didn’t really have a plan.

In fact we only had a oneway ticket into Cambodia until about a week before we left! We initially thought we would fly to Turkey and slowly make our way left (east) that was...
Read MoreThings to Do With Kids in London
We took the kids to lots of different place in London but the three most popular ones were the Science museum, the Natural History Museum and a River Cruise. The Science Museum is located next to the Natural history museum in South Kensington (very close to the south side of Hyde Park) and has a fabulous inside “garden” for young kids. It is a hands on play area for little ones. The museum is excellent. It is really interesting, educational and the exhibits are great, however my favourite part was the basement garden as our kids played for hours...

We left sunny and warm Cambodia and flew to London. One of the things we miss in Bali is beautiful green parks and wide footpaths! It is very hard to find somewhere safe and level to walk around, hence we were super excited to head to London for a few weeks. Scott and I lived in London (Marble Arch and Putney) from 2002 through to the end of 2004. We had a great life and loved pretty much every part of our time there. I was so looking forward to taking our kids back and exploring all of the...
