Our fun family trip to Lithuania and Latvia took an unexpected turn when just as we were finishing up our week of camping in the Curonian Spit, our 5-year-old daughter began complaining of very painful sores on the insides of her thighs. For a few days prior, we had been trying to keep them clean and covered with bandages but to no avail. On the last day of the Lithuanian leg and as we were on our way to Latvia, Samantha was in so much pain and discomfort that we decided to stop in Klaipeda and find a hospital to...

I got up early to leave St Lucia and had to leave my car at the port with the keys locked in. Having been shown how to do this when I collected the car it was no big deal. Except I made myself double check I had everything 3 times before I finally locked the car.
The checkin for the boat was fairly painless although I was a bit of an idiot and didn’t pay enough attention to the instructions and so after having gone through security and passport control I had to go back out to check my bag...

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...

For Easter 2022 we decided to take a trip to Prague with the children by train directly from home in St-Cergue.
We love taking train trips and have taken a few epic ones over the years, so when we thought about a trip to Prague we looked to see if there was a way to get to there by train. It just so happens that there is in fact a direct sleeper train from Zurich to Prague operated by the Czech railway company. The tickets are only released 60 days before the journey and for popular weekends they sell out...

Although I have been climbing for years (mostly sports climbing) Via Ferrata is not something I was aware of until I got to Switzerland. It is a form of climbing where there are wires, hand holds and foot holds of iron placed into the wall. While this is a little...
