galapagos and beyond | 11Wow! What magical memories we made onthis 17 day tour across Peru, Ecuador and theGalápagos Islands.When we embarked on this journey we didn’tknow quite what to expect, but it quicklybecame a trip that we knew would includememories we would treasure for the rest ofour lives.We opted for a small group tour, with it justbeing myself and my son traveling on thisadventure, we knew that by opting for thesmaller group not only would it be financiallybeneficial, but also we would get to meetsome like minded travel lovers as well.Apart from the small group size being a hugeplus, another benefit of traveling as part of agroup with a fantastic guide, was that we gotto learn so much about the places we visited,which added to our experience.The hotels selected were so traditional andauthentic and I honestly could not havethought of a better way to enjoy this trip. A few of our highlights included my son, whowas only 5 at the time, did first ever snorkel inthe sea, and capturing an amazing picture ofhim with a playful sea lion pup in theGalápagos Islands on our go pro!Truly a trip to remember.why a small group is hugely beneficial

Our latest adventure has seen ustravel to three countries in 3 days -Vienna in Austria, Bratislava in Slovakiaand Prague in Czech Republic. We’ve visited Christmas markets, wentice skating, rode Ferris wheels, saw anopera (which was phenomenal) took ahorse drawn carriage through thecentre, saw the Christmas Krampusand drank lots of gluhwein, as well aslots of amazing food too - oh! And wegot inked too! It’s been the absolutebest time! Here’s how we did it:DAY 1: VIENNA, AUSTRIA We rented an apartment for 2 nights inthe centre close to the Rathaus andspent the whole of the first day andnight enjoying all Vienna has to offer . DAY 2: BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA From Vienna we travelled by train (lessthan €12 per person return) toBratislava Slovakia. We caught an earlytrain taking just over an hour, andsoaked up this incredible city for thefull day. We caught a late train back toour apartment in Vienna for anothernight . DAY 3: PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC The following day we caught the earlytrain to Prague, Czech Republic for ourfinal 2 nights. We booked a one waytrain as we flew back to the UK fromhere. The trip took around 4.5 hours,there are private family cabins and arestaurant on the train. HOW TO ENJOY 3 COUNTRIES IN 3 DAYSAUSTRIA - SLOVAKIA - CZECH REPUBLIC | 14

If you see one withouta name you can hop in and claim thoseseats. Ones with names are reserved.It’s is really difficult to determine whichcity we liked the best. They are allabsolutely stunning but so verydifferent in many ways Lots for childrenVienna was bustling and had so muchfor the children to do. The Christmasmarkets are the most famous and mostvisited in Europe. There are so many inVienna city the biggest being Rathauswith over 200 stalls, a huge ice skaterink and a ferris wheel. The markets arebeautifully lit and come alive at night Most traditionalBratislava was more traditional, and weloved seeing Krampus make anappearance. Much smaller but a lotmore authentic especially when it cameto the food and traditional costume. Stunning architecturePrague, architecturally speaking, getsmy vote. European cities in my eyesooze far more class and beauty thanour city centres (aside London with itsheritage). The markets are huge and itwas Prague which had my favouriteChristmas tree, by the clock tower We have had the absolute best time - 3 beautiful cities 3 beautiful daysHOW TO ENJOY 3 COUNTRIES IN 3 DAYSAUSTRIA - SLOVAKIA - CZECH REPUBLIC | 15
