    Where do the kids want to go on the round world trip?

    It’s quite a big question, and although we will be away for a full year that time is likely to fly by quickly. We certainly can’t go everywhere and will need to make some choices. So we thought we’d ask…

    How to pack for a year on the road with kids?

    Some people think I am obsessed with this question (mainly Helen). I don’t think that’s true – she is much more obsessed with Made In Chelsea than I am about packing. But a professional life that has involved more than…

    The best things we did in Belfast with the kids

We leave early from nearby El Calafate and make for the massive Perito Moreno Glacier and an unforgettable day including walking on the actual glacier and some other surprises.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is some 30km long and 5km wide at the foot, rising 75m above Lake Argentina. It is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, which is the third largest store of fresh water in the world.
Walking on the Perito Moreno Glacier - an epic day!
The kids got the chance to experience some of the thrill of skydiving at iFly in Queenstown as we toured up the west coast of the South Island in our camper van. They loved it, and it appears are naturals
