It’s holiday time…..

and this time we’re flying off to Menorca. As you probably know from previous blogs Menorca is one of my favourite places having worked there as a holiday rep in my younger days. We went as a family last year for the first time and we had such an amazing holiday we’re going back with my parents and my sister and her family. It’s going to be the first time we have all been on holiday together with the children and we’re all really excited, Sofia will have her two cousins to play with so she is especially excited.

We did look at booking somewhere different this year, but I think for a family holiday with children, there is really no place better. Just a short plane journey, short transfer time and such a beautiful island with the most amazing beaches, for me it really is the perfect place for families. Weather looks fantastic, it’s showing at 30 degrees so can’t wait to hit the pools and the beach.

We are staying in an Aparthotel complex in Calan’ Bosch.  We decided against All-Inclusive so we’ve opted for self catering that way we can get out and about and enjoy the local restaurants at the marina which is one of my favourite parts of the holiday. The complex has lots of swimming pools, some with slides which the kids really wanted. Just recently we found out that the whole complex has been re furbished so it’s all new and ready for us arriving.

I have arranged to meet up with a friend I worked with in Menorca all those years ago, I’ve not seen her for so long so it will be great to get together, she never left the island, married a Menorquian and has a little boy now. We had an absolute ball working together so can’t wait to reminisce with her.

Hopefully we’ll have a trip to Mahon, this is where if you cruise to Menorca you will dock, the islands capital. It’s a beautiful port with the prettiest marina, filled with lots of great restaurants and lovely shopping. You can also go off to local beaches from here, from one end of the island to the other it’s only about an hour. You can do a full island tour whilst you’re there and see all that Menorca has to offer.

This holiday is going to be very different to our last one on board Navigator, doing a land based holiday so close to our cruise really will give us a good comparison, so watch this space where I can share with my thoughts with you on cruise verses hotel. I’m sure we are going to love both equally….will report back soon.

Until then thanks for reading as always and hasta pronto (see you soon).
