When going to Croatia, one of the things that people kept mentioning was “exploring the abandoned hotels”, so obviously we wanted to have a look for ourselves. There are three really large hotels on the bay, which have all been abandoned after being shot up during the war in 1991. They have been left to rot and rust, some of which have serious fire damage, and many of which have graffiti.

The Harlow Museum and Walled Gardens has been hosting more and more events, especially as we head into the summer season! One of their most interesting event to us was the Enchanted Garden, as it looked like something Robin would very much enjoy. We have previously been to the Harlow Museum, though many years ago, but are trying to do more local activities as more events seem to be popping up. The Enchanted Garden event seemed to be aimed at younger children, so Kai was a little out of place, where as Amelia likes to participate and Robin was well interested and into things. I can see this also being great for children younger than Robin too.
We’ve been to a few different arcades that feel part arcade and part museum, but we always go to the Musee Mecanique, which is a personal collection of more than 300 different items. They have coin operated pianos, pinball machines, slot machines, little peep shows, puppets, love tests and so much more. Many of them are very old machines, some of which you can only find at the venue.

Dann is one of those people that really enjoy historical sites, so when the option to go inside the Doumo came up, he was excited and wanted to see it. As someone who’s not a huge fan of religion, I wasn’t as bothered about going inside, personally. It’s worth noting that you need to dress modestly to go inside the Doumo, which means your knees need to be covered and you cannot wear straps or low-necked items. As a warning, there are also a lot of scam sites out there that can try to trick you into purchasing tickets there, so make sure you are using the official site.
Every month, Amelia and I have some mother-daughter time taking a cupcake course. We’ve been doing this for quite some time, and as Jennie never runs out of ideas and we always have a fantastic time, we were back once again for one of the newer designs; Fairy Cupcakes. This class was warned to be a bit longer than the previous ones we have attended, due to all the intricate little designs we were going to hand craft for these packed cupcakes. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always running these cupcake courses, with a large number of different designs, both seasonal and non-seasonal.
