2018 Zomervakantie Day 12 – Lazise
We visited the beautiful town of Lazise, only about 15 minutes away from our campsite. With it’s impressive medieval gate and castle, it’s a lovely place to wander for a while.
2018 Zomervakantie Day 10 – Verona and Gardaland
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…a day trip, and an evening visit to Gardaland.
2018 Zomervakantie day 9 – Sirmione
At first we had planned to take a boat from Lazise to Sirmione but as I’d been feeling unwell, we thought the car would offer us more flexibility. We didn’t even make it very close to the centre when we were redirected by traffic police. Soon, we realised […]
2018 Zomervakantie Day 7 – Parco delle Cascate waterfalls
Parco delle Cascate We took a trip to Molina, a medieval village, and a lovely walk to the waterfalls. Especially on a hot day, it was a great way to spend a few hours. It was about a 45 minute drive, much of the last part was very […]

2018 Zomervakantie Day 4 – Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles
Almost 15 years ago, my husband proposed to me on a walking path overlooking Neuschwanstein Castle. Today, we took our children there! We didn’t quite make the exact spot – the girls were hot and tired, and it was very crowded with a queue to get over the […]
2018 Zomervakantie Day 3 – Lichtenstein castle and the Austrian Alps
We left our apartment this morning and before heading for Austria, went to check out another nearby castle, Schloss Lichtenstein. I had actually never heard of it, but it’s lovely! In fact people may confuse it for the more famous Neuschwanstein, which we are visiting tomorrow. Arriving quite […]
2018 Zomervakantie Day 2 – Hohenzollen Castle
After day 1 mostly travelling from Den Haag, we booked two nights in Reutlingen, Germany, so that we had a day to explore. For breakfast, just a few minutes from our apartment, we discovered bread heaven! I’m not a big bread eater but this stuff is amazing! We […]
