I’m in holiday planning mode. I am by no means committed to this as an idea but this is as far as I’ve got, open to other suggestions of other countries/places to go. It’s a bit tricky as guests include my boyfriend who is very fair skinned and Irish and doesn’t cope well with super hot, my dd1 (18) who also doesn’t cope with heat, and also has ME and has very limited energy, and also dd2 (13) who is a ball of energy and wants to be on the go all the time. And me who loves hot places and lying around by the pool.
Anyway, tonight’s internet rabbit hole has been exploring holiday parks in the Netherlands. I was thinking maybe 3 nights at Duinrell, which has a theme park and water park attached. And then 4 nights at Center parcs Het Meerdal, then home. I think driving over taking the euro tunnel would be the best option, and altogether with travel it comes to around £2k for a week in august.
Has anyone ever done this kind of holiday and do you have suggestions as to other places which may be better than the ones I’ve found? I’m thinking the main priority is keeping dd2 entertained, the rest of us are very laid back! But would it be too much in a week to do both duinrell and Center parcs and would I be better off just doing one of those and then booking somewhere chilled to stay for a few nights to make up the week?
Any feedback welcome! I only visited the Netherlands once over 20 years ago and I got so stoned I can’t really remember anything about it 😂.
