Travels with a toddler |
Read our travel blog to follow our family of four around the world

 Utterly deserted, Kalapather beach, Havelock Island. There's never a good time to get ill, but it felt particularly annoying for it to happen, as it did for me and the kids, in the middle of the remote but paradisiacal Andaman Islands.

 Not quite the Raviz but amazing service at the Four Seasons, Kollam We arrived in Kollam ready to embark on a backwater cruise or head to Munroe Island.
 Table for 18 please. Odayam Beach. The logistics of travelling with two under fives is surprisingly simple. Our toddlers have now reached the grand old age of 3 & 4 - we've been travelling with them for 18 months now; they are (thankfully and finally) both out of nappies, yet still small enough to sit on our knees. They eat pretty much anything (unspicy) when they're in the right mood and they sleep wherever we squeeze in their tents so in terms of planning we don't really need to consider anything more than if it were just the two of us. But that all was about to change with the very welcome arrival of three families from home. The GBs, the Davies and the London Newitts were all set to descend on Kerala meaning our small family of four had rapidly morphed into a swarm of 18!
 Jess and Otto watching the Chinese fishing nets, Kochi We had just ten days to kill before our next visitors were set to arrive. Just enough time to check out Kochi
 Bliss found at the Jackfruit Tree Inn, Calicut So when I posted last, we were leaving the jungle clad hill tops of Wayanad heading back to the beaches. This time Northern Kerala, specifically Thottada and Kozhikode (Calicut) where we would bid our farewells to the grandparents.
 Jess & Otto (now 3&4) presenting their latest home: Varnamhomestay Yesterday we travelled up into the jungle, here to Wayanad. What a contrast from Mysore. Absolute silence except for the wind in the trees and the birds calling.
 Sunset at Kudle and the beautiful Om beach. From Agonda, we moved south by train - just 2 hours late - to the hippy hangout of Gokarna and Kudle beach (aptly pronounced cuddly, I don't know if the hippies named it).
 Living the dream! Campervan on the beach, Agonda Patnem was all out of mopeds sadly. So we got the VW bus instead!
I wish! We are not quite living that dream yet but some lucky campers were on Agonda beach. Meanwhile, we had a meet up planned with Julie from my university days so we made a move to nearby Agonda beach and the family Newitts got back on the mopeds  Our mini eco-warriors trying to plant a tree on Patnem beach Don't get me wrong, it feels great to be back on a beach but I'm surprised how quickly I've declimitized to the travelling lifestyle.
