The UK

Op de blog probeer ik (net als op mijn Instagram) voor een leuke afwisseling te zorgen tussen receptjes/foodpictures en reisverhalen/travelpics en dat alles met nog wat family-topics er tussendoor. Ik ga het volgend jaar zeker nog door hiermee en hoop dat ik jullie kan blijven inspireren! Tijdens deze laatste dagen van het jaar kijk ik graag even terug op onze tripjes en reizen het afgelopen jaar. Kijken jullie mee?...
Niks leuker in de herfstvakantie dan een paar daagjes gaan 'uitwaaien', toch? Wij trekken tijdens deze periode meestal naar Holland of we steken zoals nu het Kanaal over! Voorbeelden van eerdere trips naar de UK vind je zo o.a. hier en hier. We besloten ons nieuwe 'busje' eens uit te testen en reden er eerst mee naar Calais waar we onder een stralend zonnetje de boot opgingen....
My wife and I try to head to London at least once a year. Two weeks ago, we took our girls along again for a short weekend. They had visited London, before, so luckily we could skip all the touristy sights. They are both huge Harry Poter fans and were eager to see some of the movies' locations. We didn't want to spend an entire day outside London, so we decided not to go for the Warner Bros. studio tour just outside the city . We'll keep that for another time, cause it certainly looks great....
When the misses and I were young... hm, I mean, younger... we used to travel to the UK a lot, especially the South of England and the West Country, we even honeymooned in Cornwall. But somehow we lost sight of this beautiful country the last 15 years (busy travellling the world and so on... ;-)), except for our yearly trips to London, of course. Last year, we picked up on our tradition again and went on two trips, one to Rye and one to Canterbury. For this year's family trip, we decided to visit the lovely seaside town of Whitstable, which is only a 45 minute drive from Dover. We drove the car on the ferry at Calais and enjoyed a wonderful sunny crossing on board of one of the P&O ferries, called 'The Spirit of France'. An hour and a half later, we were already were admiring the famous White Cliffs of Dover. I completely forget how much fun it is to arrive in England by boat!...
