Forget the Easter eggs, Easter 2009 presented a 4 day long weekend and we were off for a road trip through Southern France and train trip through Switzerland.
Eager to take on the snow tops, we ventured to Cortina, Italy for what we pictured to be a peaceful and relaxing snow trip. Boy were we wrong - the only thing we ended up picturing was a face full of snow and a new set of blue and purple bruises.
Whoo hoo - talk about a great place! South Africa reminded me so much of home, I actually came back to London feeling like I had ‘topped up’ on ‘home’! We spent 9 days in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pilanesberg with our friends Nicci & Jono and their families.
These photo’s were taken by a friend of a friend of a… well… friend. This little fella walked into the family’s back porch for some heat relief and made himself well at home! How totally adorable!
After the adventures in Sweden and visiting the awesome Ice Hotel, we continued our trip onwards and upwards from Narvik to Tromsø then back down to Oslo in Norway.
We spent our Christmas/New Year time in beautiful Scandinavia going as far North as we could handle in the middle of Winter! A fantastic trip to Sweden and Norway, we had some pretty cool adventures including Kim chasing a pack of Huskies…
Thanks to Ben for creating this amazing masterpiece 
Our Christmas Dance
Always up for an adventure and something different, we braved the cold for a morning of Clay Shooting in Essex with our good friends Rachel and Dan. Of course, Kim being the natural athlete that he is, nothing is too much of a challenge for him!
We spent a fast paced 11 days in Egypt being blasted by the amazing ancient history and awesome sights. What a spectacular place to visit! Though most of us on our tour agreed it is probably a once-in-a-lifetime place only, you can’t help but get swept away by the charm, skill and intelligence of the ancient Egyptians. Be warned, this is a very… very long post.
It’s difficult to put into words a summary of our weekend in Krakow. One reason is because I was criticised in a previous post on Belfast for focusing too much on the negatives of a place and not enough on the positives. Another reason would be because of the sheer horror and evil that seeps into your pores in a place like Auschwitz.
