Our first Eurocamp holiday at Duinrell Holland

Looking forward to our first Eurocamp holiday at Duinrell Holland

I have some exciting news to share. We’ve been busy planning an awesome Summer holidays – can you believe the school year is nearly over? This year has just flown by and we are all ready for a break from the school routine. And this year we are going abroad for a week to Duinrell!

Looking forward to our first Eurocamp holiday

As much as I love the 6 week holiday they do require a little planning. We are fortunate to be surrounded by Kids Clubs so my children will be spending some time at those. This year we’ve booked our first proper family holiday abroad. Last weekend we sat down and told the children and we are all now counting down until our week at Duinrell in Holland!

Duinrell is a Eurocamp holiday which is something we’ve always wanted to try. As this year is also our 10th wedding anniversary we thought we would treat ourselves to something special. We’re taking the car so going via Eurotunnel and driving through France and Belgium to get to Holland. Duinrell is perfectly situated next to an amusement park but we’re also planning lots of day trips to explore Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft, Gouda and Leiden.

We’ve never been abroad for so long or been to a Eurocamp site before. We had a mini break in Bruges when Big Brother turned 1 and we went on a mini cruise 2 years ago. However this will be our first proper adventure abroad!

The children are so excited and have been saving their pocket money. We’ve also bought a few city guides so they can help up plan our days out. I can’t wait to share our adventures in the Netherlands with you all!
