And after having spent 14 days on Iona, I can honestly say, that she most certainly is designed to invite the outdoors in. What makes her stand out are places like the stunning SkyDome, the three-tier glass Grand Atrium and the brand-new Conservatory Mini-suite cabins, where we stayed!

I can’t remember the last time, when the three of us went out together on a real “girls-day-out!” Obviously there had to be Afternoon Tea involved, as we are all big fans of this lovely British food tradition - and this time we were going to Knightsbridge for a cosy and wonderful afternoon at The Egerton House Hotel

And now I know why!
To be honest, I have never experienced a staycation before. Why stay at a hotel, when your home is 20 mins drive away? I will tell you why! It is an amazing opportunity to get away from it all without the travel-hassle! You basically take time off from work and daily chores and instead spending quality time with your family (in very luxurious surroundings!) Yay!

It has been SO hot the last couple of days - and we are in the middle of moving to Chiswick! If there was one thing, Frenchie and I needed, it was a break from moving boxes and furniture all over the place! So when we were invited to the gorgeous Latin-American top-trendy restaurant Zuaya in High Street Kensington, we were more than ready to go! Yes, please!

Finally, it happened - and it was a wonderful trip.
