With Joanna visiting all the way from Sydney, we wanted her trip to be a holiday as well as a family Christmas so we are off to celebrate New Year in Bruges.

Taking our car on le shuttle to Calais will be a first for us and then it’s just a two hour drive to Bruges, a medieval city of cobbles, canals and chocolate with the added bonus of Christmas markets and lights for the Winter Glow festival.
So we are looking forward to spending time together and hope it’s not too cold or too wet to enjoy exploring. Fortunately we can chuck the entire contents of our wardrobes into the back of the car and be prepared for anything!
So here goes, three off travelling together!
