Italy is a destination that makes it on many bucket lists, and it’s certainly on mine. There are many regions that I would love to visit, but Sicily is one that, if possible, deserves a trip all to itself.

A few days ago we got right into the festive spirit with a trip to Marwell Zoo for their Christmas Experience. It didn’t disappoint and was the perfect way to kick start the Christmas season, though I definitely will not be putting up our decorations until December don’t you worry!

I’d definitely recommend going in Autumn, especially if you have kids that can be a bit overwhelmed by lots of crowds…
