Day trip, to another country... the Republic of San Marino 🇸🇲 Still hard to get our heads around being about to do this but another beautiful day to wander around the windy streets and lanes of the City of San Marino. A few facts - 🔹 The 5th smallest country in the world. 🔹 Total area of 61.2 km2. 🔹 Population of approximately 33,300. 🔹 Highest point, the summit of Monte Titano is 749m above sea level. We walked around the 11th century fortress and towers on Monte Titano and found some incredible views, mountains one way, the Adriatic Sea the other 🤩 We were going to stay a few days in San Marino but accommodation was WAY over our budget so a day trip was the next best thing. #guaitatower #fortress #montetitano #history #repubblicadisanmarino #sanmarino #europe #europe2019 #amazingplaces #wonderfulplaces #exploretheworld #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #goexplore #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #travellifestyle #travellingthroughtheworld #lovetotravel #everywherefamilies #everywhereclassroom #worldschooling #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe

In amongst the hills of Bled we found Pustolovski Park, an adventure park with rope courses and zip lines. From Straža we took the chairlift to the top and found a great spot overlooking Lake Bled for our picnic lunch before heading into the tree tops. The instructors were fantastic, kitting us up and giving us a good safety/test instructions. Each course had age and height guidelines but they said as we were doing it with the boys, particularly Braxton (who has just turned 7), we could decide as to which courses he was comfortable with. We ended up doing all the courses together, the boys were fine on all of them. As the park was getting ready to close we grabbed a quick family pic 👉👉 and headed back down the hill via the toboggan ride. A fantastic day together, lots of fun 😎 @strazabled 🎟 1 x chair lift and 1 x toboggan ride = €8/$14 NZD/adult; children €6/$10.50 NZD @pustolovskiparkbled 🎟 family pass 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 €69/$122 NZD #adventurepark #zipline #chairlift #toboggan #bled #slovenia #iloveslovenia #visitslovenia #europe #europe2019 #amazingplaces #wonderfulplaces #exploretheworld #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #goexplore #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #travellifestyle #travellingthroughtheworld #lovetotravel #everywherefamilies #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe

Beautiful autumn 🍂 day walking around Lake Bled (just under 6kms) and up to one of the view points (Ojstrica) about 20 mins each way with a lunch stop at the submit. We parked up pretty central and paid for parking, giving ourselves 4.5 hours. We walked at a pretty leisurely pace, stopping to find good sticks, searching for fish 🐟 and admiring the views and beautiful clear water 💦 Lake Bled is of glacial origin, it is 2,120m long and 1,380m wide. Bled Island is the only natural island in Slovenia and according to legend, the temple of the ancient Slavic goddess Živa once stood in the place of the present church. The temple disappeared during battles between followers of the pagan religion and Christians, who destroyed the alter and built a church. How many different angles of the island could we get?? 👉👉👉 A lovely day and were back at the car with 45 mins to spare 👍 #lakebled #bledisland #bled #slovenia #loveslovenia #ifeelsLOVEnia #europe #europe2019 #amazingplaces #wonderfulplaces #exploretheworld #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #goexplore #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #travellifestyle #travellingthroughtheworld #lovetotravel #everywherefamilies #stufftravelnz #nzhtravel #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe

🏰 Prague Castle - sitting grandly up on the hill overlooking the city 🏰 Dating back to the 9th Century and the world’s largest castle complex. 🎟 Tickets are required to enter some of the internal parts of the castle but it’s free to enter the grounds and wander around and you also get stunning views over the city 😍 #praguecastle #castle #prague #czechrepublic #czech #visitprague #praguetrip #europe #europe2019 #amazingplaces #wonderfulplaces #exploretheworld #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #goexplore #longtermtravel #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #ourfamilytravels #travelfamily #familytravel #travelmadfam #ourtribetravels #travellifestyle #travellingthroughtheworld #lovetotravel #everywherefamilies #stufftravelnz #ourawesomeworldadventure #kiwifamilyoe
