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!

There is nothing worse that taking your little one to a place, where you can feel, that people are annoyed by the presence of “Curious George.”  This was certainly not the case at Conrad London St. James, where my family and I spent a wonderful weekend in the beginning of October.

These are the first words, that come to my mind, when thinking about our amazing weekend on board "Matrix Island"...

I had no idea, that a place like this existed! Forgot about the usual dark and dingo canal boat interiors "Matrix Island" dispels all misconceptions and proves that life on the water can be super luxurious and stylish

Lockdown life has been tough, hasn’t it? So no doubt, our trip back to Bordeaux would be emotional and full of joy! Clara saw her grandparents for the first time in what seems like ages, and they were SO happy to see her. Talk about being the centre of attention!

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!
