Another last minute decision holiday… this time to Ibiza. We kept it as a surprise from the kids who fell asleep in the car after a day in London to be woken up at the airport ready to go!

We had a brilliant villa near Santa Eulalia.

I think Kitty enjoyed the ice lollies.

Our mode of transport the Jeep Wrangler. Amazing to drive round in although I was too scared if Tom went over about 20 mph!

The lollipops from the supermarket…

which apparently tasted pretty disgusting!

Our best day out on a Sunseeker over to Formentera.

A Lovely lunch in Juan y Andrea beach restaurant, Playa Illetas, Formentera.

Finished with an amazing afternoon of snorkelling and diving round the coast of Formentera.

Desperate for a holiday but not wanting to travel too far with a 4 month old Kitty, we decided to hop on the ferry to France with the idea that we could take all our baby essentials in the boot of the car. The port is 10 minutes from our house so the start was nice and easy. Never having done the ferry crossing before we all had the onboard egg and bacon butty for breakfast which we hastily regretted as the boat started moving and everyone started throwing up! The sickness eased towards the middle of the two hour ferry though and we got off and had about a 45 minute drive down to our house La Brocanterie, on the outskirts of the pretty coastal village of Gouville sur Mer.

The old house was beautifully restored and modified by owners Debbie and James Mayhew, with a pool we were keeping our fingers crossed for the weather to enjoy…and our luck was in!
