We recently found ourselves staying near Brussels. We'd already visited Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges (on an earlier trip, the previous year...we have a bit of a thing for Belgium!) so Brussels seemed like a good option for a day out. I've said in previous blog entries that travelling with children is all about compromise. Everybody… Continue reading A day in Brussels with children
On a recent visit to Belgium we settled on a day in Antwerp. I was totally swayed after reading about the wonderful range of child/family friendly activities available in the city. Cartoon Station Our first stop was the Comic Station in Antwerp Station. We parked around the corner at Centraal. The Comic Station is an… Continue reading Antwerp with children

Staying nearby we set out after a leisurely breakfast (yes chocolate yet… Continue reading A day in Ghent with children

Before children (always a good start to a family friendly travel blog entry!), my husband and I enjoyed an annual ski holiday (definitely a holiday and not a trip!). Since the arrival of our daughter in 2013 we've only managed one ski holiday - we ventured to Val Thorens with our then 1 year old… Continue reading Bern Oberland – Switzerland with children
