I love being on holiday and particularly so with my kids.
They’re seasoned travellers, well used to flying and to staying in unfamiliar
places. They also have a genuine interest in seeing other places and different
things. They enjoy looking at old churches and archaeological sites as well as
seeing how people in other cultures live—as long as there’s a good measure of
ice cream and playing by the pool thrown in, of course!
The one thing they find difficult, particularly in the
summer heat in Southern Europe, is travelling by car. This came to a head last
year when my youngest got so sick that she dreaded even the thought of going in
the car. In the end, we gave up and spent much more time by the pool than we
usually would. And this year we’re opting for a holiday during half term, in
the hope that less heat will equal less sickness. I’ll keep you posted!
On another note, the only thing that I’ve found to be
effective in removing the smell of sick from cars is good old-fashioned bicarbonate
of soda... Rather a useful tip, I think!
