Hi,


We are planning to embark on a 2-3 week honeymoon with our 2 boys (5&9) but need some inspiration. Hubby wants to do a bit of travelling ( europe by train arghhhh) id like a lovely villa or hotel, kids just want a pool, beach, ice cream and other kids to play with. Could start at a european city then take a flight another destination?


travelling through school hols.


Ideas anyone?

I used to HATE flying so we have been all over Europe on the train. There are sleepers - boys absolutely adored travelling on them...the whole of the continent is incredibly well connected. Hi speed trains exist in LOTS of locations and you can get absolutely anywhere you could want to go (ish). Have a look at man in seat 61 for travel tips.


Location - Italy, all the way. Hotels with Pools, beach if you want, gorgeous villas, stuff to do and see.

Austria if you like the mountains and lakes - Croatia, Slovenia...

Berlin and the surrounding areas, very child friendly and lots to do.


We even went to Sicily on the train - that was a LONG trip but you can break it lots of times (Milan, Rome...) and the train goes on the boat. As a whole!


Seriously, travelling by train is a lot easier than you fear. Obv you have to think carefully what to pack but your kids are old enough to pull their own trolly suitcase. And you don't need much for the summer! I say go for it!

      Taxes

      Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.
