Road trips

HomeHoliday types Road trips

Sometimes its about the journey, not the destination, and the thrill of the open road has been enticing road trippers for generations. It has a certain romance to it, and the freedom of a self drive holiday makes it an experience like no other – not to mention being able to stop for photos whenever you please (and toilet breaks!), pull over when something catches your eye and being able to go the pace you want. For a memorable road trip with the family, all you need is a little imagination, a little planning and a sense of adventure. So buckle up!
