It's something that I'd thought we'd do much later in life for some reason, however I am so glad that we did it with our 12 and 9 year old. Having other friends with us who also had kids was a great way to do it, as the kids simply went off and took care of themselves, leaving us adults to catch up, admire the scenery and explore.

Thanks so much Nick & Andrea.
