Day 29: Where have you travelled

Day 29 of the 31 day blog challenge - Where have you travelled

I love this post as travelling is a passion. Through my teens I went on beach holidays with my family like Calella in Spain, Majorca, the Canary Islands - Grand Canaira and Fuerteventura. I went to Magaluf twice first time with friends after A level exams and second time with my family and my other half which was actually better than the first time with friends. With college I went to Barcelona which I would quite like to go back to.

My first holiday with my husband was to Corfu (2000) which was really nice he's not really a beachy person so we travelled around the island to see more of it and even ventured to Albania which wasn't far. We did the same with Lanzorite (great hol) and visited all the sights.
Through my twenties my husband and I lived for our next adventure so we would have long weekend breaks to cities in Europe like Amsterdam, Prague and Paris. We also randomly spent days or weekends in UK towns and cities like York, Lands End, Conwy, Bournemouth and Dublin, Ireland.

New York 2006

One big holiday which we dreamt of was New York and we finally got there in April 2006. It was amazing I was quite overwhelmed by it as it was like you just walked onto a film set very surreal I would definitely go back we even considered running away and getting married there at one point. I would love to go there one Christmas as it looks amazing.




 

Annecy

My husband is half French so he has family that live in France so we have been several times to Annecy which is very close to the Alps. It is a beautiful place with lakes and mountains. 

From here we have travelled to Chamonix, Megeve, Italy and many other towns in and around the area. Ollie has been twice already in his first year being in this world once at Christmas and unfortunatly the other was for a funeral.

 

 Ibiza 2008

July 2008 we went to Ibiza which was a different holiday to our previous ventures but still amazing as we are huge dance fans I'm not sure why we left that one so late. We got there dropped our bags off and went straight to see the DJ Tiesto do his thing in one of the big clubs. By the end of the week we were exhausted with too much partying.

South Africa 2009

Another big holiday was our Honeymoon in May 2009 we went to Cape Town in South Africa. We tried to cram in as much as possible by visiting Table Mountain, shanty towns and Robin Island. It was another surreal place as walking on the Waterfront you could see seals in the water, while on a trip to the Cape of good hope we saw baboons in the road, a snake while walking around. It felt like we were so far away from home which was brilliant, the only thing I regret not doing was going on safari (other holiday maybe).

Scotland 2010

On our first Anniversary (2010) we travelled around Scotland from Fort William - Loch Ness - Inverness - John O Groats - Ullapool - Skye - Fort William - Edinburgh. It was a very busy week but a great one I can't wait to do something like that again.

That same year we spent a week in Brean, Dorset with friends then I found out I was pregnant so holidays will be very different from now on.

Hemsby 2011

Bournemouth 2011

Last year we spent a weekend on the east coast when Ollie was only 2 months just to get away and then again with my family in Bournemouth later in the year. At Christmas we went to France to spend with the Hubby's family.

I don't think we will be having a holiday this year but we have many places on our list we would love to see so we haven't finished yet.
