R&R in Kent
Last weekend was a long weekend here in the UK, so a group of us decided we should go away.. but alas, no money (as usual), so I, with my travel agent background, decided to do a bit of a search to find the perfect getaway.. keeping in budget and location (not really enough time to go too far away!)
At first we wanted to go camping.. but we only had one 2man tent to fit 5 of us, so the next option.... a caravan!
We headed out to Kent (1.5hrs on the train from London), and hit the beach! So good to see the ocean again.. nothing like Oz, but a beach all the same!
We stayed at a place called Romney Sands.. We summed it up as the place English families go on their summer break when they cant afford to go abroad... with their 5000 children! So.. we became 'trailer trash' for a weekend!!
There were some good points... what we stayed in was not just any caravan.. I found us a Luxury 2brm Caravan! and it was! Believe me!
Here are a few photos of our weekend getaway...
This is our Luxury Caravan
Doing what we do best when on holiday
The beach... The mud that made up the beach... mmmm.. lovely..!
So there you have it... I have vowed never to organise another holiday again.. after what we experienced in Spain, and now in Romney.. Where do I find these places?!
But we did laugh A LOT!! A great stomach muscle work out!

Hey that looks cool, it's like Coochie Mudlow Island, you think it will be cool then the tide goes out and there is just mud...
Looks like a great idea for a weekend though, much better than my next weekend away when we're considering pitching the tent in the loungroom so we can save time and money...
Was also struck by the similarity to Coochie.. although I'm guessing there would be less bugs in England.
Somehow I have become bug expert at our place. I handle, identification, removal and extermination (only when necessary). I used to be tough, but last week, i screamed like a baby when i was trying to get this spider.. maybe it's conditioning.. Rinnie honey, maybe we should send you some bug pics so you can get back in the habit for when you get home..
liking the beach, you should check out the pics on my blog of the beach i was at this weekend in lovely saskatchewan. quite similar, i guess we gotta do what we gotta do. unforunatly mine was at a river not even the ocean!
