A Day with never ending walk

It's been far too long since we took a leisurely family stroll together. With the Easter holidays upon us and a desire for local adventure, we opted to embark on a lengthy trek from Maidenhead to Windsor. Though we had previously tackled this same journey about 18 months ago, we decided to switch up the route this time and include the iconic Bray Lake. Our journey began around 10:30 AM, departing from home and heading toward Windsor by way of Bray Lake.    Along the road, we delighted in the sights of biker rallies and vintage car shows. Upon arriving at Bray Lake, we were mesmerized by the bungee jumping water sports taking place. After our visit, we joined the Thames Walk, a familiar path for us, leading us to the entrance of Windsor. Once there, we treated ourselves to refreshing ice cream to cool down under the sun's first warm rays of spring.

However, we couldn't help but acknowledge the fact that July/August was not the ideal season for visiting India, with the monsoons in full swing. As a result, we found ourselves without any pre-booked Easter holidays and instead opted for day trips and local activities. It was on Easter Sunday that we stumbled upon an unforgettable experience at Pennibridge Farm, spending two hours getting up close and personal with the charming alpacas. After bidding farewell to our new furry friends, we turned to Google in search of afternoon activities. Our options were ...

Malta Diary - December 2022

I've been wanting to write a travel blog about our trip to Malta for some time now. However, my laziness has been holding me back until today when I finally stopped procrastinating and started jotting it down. Malta was our first trip to Europe with the twin boys. After their great success in the 11-plus exams, we decided to take a well-deserved break and utilize the holiday period of December. We booked Malta as one of our friends had also planned the same location which made our holiday search easier. Here are some facts about Malta and why it's a popular holiday destination: Malta is a small island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily, Italy, covering an area of 316 square km. Malta has a population of 515,000 people (in 2020). The island nation is in the top 10 of the most densely populated countries in the world. Malta has a rich and diverse history, with influences from the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and British. As a result, the country has a unique ...
