The Coolest Places to Eat in Israel
For me when travelling, food is a big part of the experience. I love trying local dishes, and I personally think its such an important thing to do when you are travelling.

Afternoon Tea at the Lancaster Hotel, London

With my son being the grand old age of 11-years-old, he is quite particular about the things he likes - it comes with the age unfortunately, and so when the Lancaster Hotel in London asked us if we would like to try out their Afternoon Tea, I knew I would be winning top parent points if I said yes! The hotel is easy to find - it's only … [Read more...]
