For the Christmas Holidays in 2023 we decided to take the family to Tunisia. Somehow, even though we say no more MENA holidays, we keep ending up there and we do keep enjoying ourselves.
We were shocked at how cheap the flights and hotel were and how short the flight was. We flew on EasyJet on the 24th December to Enfidha El Hammamet airport for CHF 700 for the whole family with luggage, and the flight took less than 2 hours and is in the same timezone as Switzerland. We had booked a car at the airport with Avis for...

This year we decided to try and book another heliski trip as it is so much fun and Vanessa has missed out each time I did it in the past.
When thinking of ski locations, Romania is probably not one of the first to come to mind, especially if you are then thinking of heliski as well. But I have been receiving the brochure from HeliSki Romania (HELISKI Romania - home page) for a while now and we really wanted to give this team and the ski area at Muntele Mic and the vast mountains outside...

This post is a bit after it happened, so bear with me when it comes to some of the details.
Last summer we decided to take the kids on a camping trip to Germany that would allow us to go to Europa Park but also to do a few other things in the area. I spent some time finding a camping site that would be able to take our huge family tent, the dog, be in a good location for ironman training and not too far from Europa Park.
We settled on the great campsite Campingpark...

Why do I do this to myself? Well, simple reason, I eat too much and enjoy all the worst foods and I gain weight and get unfit real easy. And I have no problem doing silly things when I put my mind to it.
I number of years back I heard about this program from Shaun T called Insanity. I had met someone who did it who said that it worked great for them and recommended I gave it a shot as well. I thought, what the hell, I should give it a go as well.
Well, today I just...

In these final weeks of school holidays and still in the time of Covid we decided to go on a family (plus friends) camping trip to Feldkirch in Austria.
We had a fantastic week with some greet friends and even though our original plan was to go without our kids and have an adult week away our plans were changed at the last minute and the kids came too.
As you can see from the photo above we packed everything, a huge 7x7.5m tent, kitchen cabinet, stove, table and chairs, webber bbq, air mattresses, storage cabinets, bikes, child trailer and...

In September we did something that is turning into an annual thing for us as a family. We loaded everyone up in the car, put the bikes on the roof and drove across the continent to a rented accommodation for a week.
This year it was Portugal via Andorra on the way there and Bordeaux on the return, which is over 3,500km. The stops being perfectly located to be able to spend the night with the kids, explore the places a little in the morning before continuing the journey. Even though this is not the first long trip with the...
