Good Morning and welcome to Monday Escapes.
What have we been up to?
We are currently on our half term holidays in Wales and looking forward to exploring Powis, Montgommery and Whelshpool. We will be making use of our National Trust passes I’m sure this week, and if you’re looking for some National Trust inspiration do check out this post about 100 Family Friendly National Trust properties.
We’ve had 3 birthdays since the last Monday Escapes, my 40th and the twins 6th birthday, so it has been a tad chaotic. We need a bit of a relaxed couple of weeks now before Matt and I head off to Oman.
On to Monday Escapes…
Monday Escapes is all about looking back at wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be about a trip abroad or even be a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
The linky is run by Sarah from Extraordinary Chaos, Karen from Mini Travellers, Claire from Tin Box Traveller and Lisa from Travel Loving Family.
We are also absolutely delighted to link up with Lonely Planet to offer our number one favourite blog post of the fortnight either a destination guide, or a title from the Lonely Planet Kids range. (See T&C’s below). Just another great reason to link up with Monday Escapes!
What’s in it for you?
The number one thing is you’ll be sharing your fantastic posts with a like-minded community and grabbing some travel inspiration for yourself. As a bonus you have a chance to have your blog post featured on all four of the hosts’ blogs each fortnight, introducing your blog to even more people. Our number one favourite post of the fortnight will also win a Lonely Planet destination guide, or a title from the Lonely Planet Kids range. (*T&C’s – The chosen Lonely Planet book must be in English and can only be sent to bloggers living within Europe).
Our favourite posts from last time
Lisa loved reading Mary’s account of her family’s travels around Belgium and France in their caravan.
When planning a trip she tried to cram in as many stops as possible including a stopover in Paris and a visit to beautiful Bruges (where her son flashed the locals!
And Claire loved drooling over the stunning architecture of the Reichstag in this post by Sharon. She is yet to visit Berlin but will be adding this onto her bucket list.
This is a superb round-up of a 10 day itinerary in India. Jenny and Jason cover everything from places to visit to how to get there and where you should spend more time if you can. Such a handy guide for anyone planning a similar trip.
And our favourite post is Melissa’s Spain in Winter post, we all want to visit and enjoy the festivities after reading this post.
