Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 We're off to the Netherlands with our bikes for 2 weeks in July in a Landal GreenParks self-catering house. Ferry from Newcastle. We've used Landal GreenParks before (in the Netherlands and in Belgium) and had really good holidays both times. It's all very reasonable and quite comfortable too. We don't really "do" holiday parks but it's a great option when you're going abroad and don't speak much of the lingo. Let's hope we don't end up in hospital with ES like we did 2 years ago in Italy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What about Riley? I hope he has a less eventful holiday this year Sounds lovely ANH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Wow, that looks great! We're doing a different holiday this year, well different for us anyway. We're going to an all inclusive splash hotel in Turkey, one of those with a massive water park on site. We don't normally do package holidays so i need a whole new wardrobe to cope with the heat, we're more used to rain on our hols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hope you have a good time! My friend went on a cycling holiday with her family last year + they all seemed to enjoy it.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 What about Riley? I hope he has a less eventful holiday this year He's going to stay with my friend up the road (where he always goes when we go on holiday and can't take him). She also takes Oscar and looks after the girls for me . It's a home from home for him with the same walkies he's used to and loads of attention from her family .

Chicktastic Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 That looks Fantastic!!! I love Holland and would love to do a holiday there with some cycling when the children are older! I have booked a holiday for beginning of June in France. We were on a budget so we are doing Eurocamp!! The park looks fab with lots of pools and outdoor activities! Its set in the grounds of a castle, can't wait!!! BUT....................... One of the best things is........................ My dad desperately wants some chickens, but my mum won't let him despite patch of garden 5ft by 30ft plus that is already fenced off and not used as my dad used it as a veg patch. Guess where mine are going while I'm on holiday!!!! It may or may not work, but hopefully by then they will be laying so another point in Dads favour!!! Will keep you posted!! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
