We like to think of ourselves as being reasonably well travelled with kids. Since the girls came along we’ve taken them on road trips, trains, ferry rides and aeroplanes. But one form of transport we’ve not tried with them is coaches. During May half term the opportunity arose to put that right as the girls…

When it comes to holidays with kids I’ve decided we don’t have a particular style.
