Stay: Ibiza

Looking_sea_amante

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!

Stay: Disneyland Paris

We briefly stopped at Disneyland Paris  on our way back from Bardigues (actually a longer drive than we thought). I think we left aroungd 5 pm and arrived after midnight! It was well wroth it though and we managed to squeeze every ride into our one day, including Satch’s first time on tower of Terror. I was quite pleased to opt out and wait with Kitty!

Stay: Bardigues, France

We needed a last minute easter holiday and decided to get in the car and go over the ferry again. We ventured further south this time to the pretty village of Bardigues, around halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse.
