About

Welcome to our latest travel blog!

We are the ‘Turra-Tuckers’ from Sydney, Australia. A family of 5 heading to Europe for a family vacation. The purpose of this site is to capture and share our holiday experience.

We captured our 2013 Europe holiday in a similar way which now serves as a digital record of our adventures.

On this trip we will visit Dubai, mainland France, Corsica and Italy over 5 weeks. This will be the first visit to Europe for Jasmine (4)  but for our boys Benjamin (11) and Jean-luc (12) this will be their third visit.

Highlights include:

  • The Atlantis water-park in Dubai
  • Palace of Versailles
  • Monet’s garden
  • Honfleur and Deauville on the Normandy coast
  • Normandy landing beaches of WW2
  • Mont Saint-Michel
  • A stay in an old watermill 
  • Cognac
  • Sainte-Emilion
  • A stay with family in Toulouse
  • A 4 night canal du-midi cruise
  • Jean-luc’s 13th birthday
  • Visiting the children’s great-grandmother Marie-The, Great aunt Marie-Claude and Great uncle Henri
  • Pompeii
  • Sorrento and Capri

We hope that you enjoy our updates.
