  • Travel : Camping Jungfrau Holiday Park, Lauterbrunnen

    Travel : Camping Jungfrau Holiday Park, Lauterbrunnen

    Camping Jungfrau Holiday Park

     

    Hello everyone and welcome back. In this post I ‘ll be sharing my experience of our stay at the Camping Jungfrau Holiday Park in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

    So before I go into details I would just like to stay that when you are in Switzerland , you want to be as close as possible to the nature , open air which is why I would recommend not to go looking for high end hotels. When I found this gem , I thought to myself this is going to be the best trip ever. I have always wanted to camp in a place that offered breath taking views when you wake up and trust me this is it and it ‘ll be worth every penny of yours. Another thing I had to keep in mind was my 17 month old , I obviously couldn’t go in the middle of no where with him and Camping Jungfrau is absolutely child friendly. If that isn’t enough for you then let me just say that Camping Jungfrau received a 9.4/10 on booking.com 2017 Guest Review Award , 4.5/5 on tripadvisor.com 4.6/5 on google reviews , I mean basically everywhere you ‘ll look you ‘ll find nothing but excellent reviews and once you are there you ‘ll see why.

    Arriving

    We arrive at Genève Aéroport early morning around 7:00 from Belgium. We got our car and left right away for Lauterbrunnen , drive of about 2 hours 20 minutes.  There are plenty of fast food and healthy food options along the route but they ‘ll end about around 30 minutes before you are in Lauterbrunnen.  You know you have reached Camping Jungfrau Holiday Park when you see the Staubbach Falls. We parked in front of the reception located right next to the restaurant Weidstübli Lauterbrunnenon on site. We arrived around 1:30 pm the reception was on lunch break so we had to wait outside. Luckily somebody came, asked us our information and showed us to our bungalow and kindly asked us to check in once the reception opened around 2:30. That was really nice of them because traveling with a child can be super tiring and that gave us some time to settle in and get some rest. When we went to check in the super friendly staff checked us in as well as helped us decide what to do and see the three days we were going to be there.

    Bungalow Details

    We got a fully equipped bungalow which included  one bedroom with a queen sized bed ( i am guessing ) , the other room had a bunk bed , bathroom with shower area and a full loaded kitchen which included utensils , pots , coffee maker, toaster and a fridge. I think the kitchen was such a great addition for us I was able to warm Azlan’s milk ( my 17th month old ) , make breakfast and tea whenever we needed to relax.

    Nearby

    Inside the reception there is also a grocery store which has everything that you might need for your stay from fresh milk , eggs to other needs as well as souvenirs. Right next to it there is wonderful restaurant as i mentioned before called Weidstübli Lauterbrunnen. They have a pretty diverse menu to choose from so, I am pretty sure you can find something for even the picky eaters. There is a playground right on property near where the RV’s are parked for kids , which is a great thing if you are traveling with little ones like we did. I think its important to find time to just walk around the area , there is a lot to see as you keep walking obviously the Staubbach Falls is the first thing you’ll see but if you walk towards the left side you ‘ll small family farms along the way take deep breaths and just enjoy nature like its meant to be enjoyed.There is a train station nearby about 10-15 min walk that can take you to nearby towns.

    I hope this article helped you guys , if you have any further question while you are planning feel free to ask. Enjoy the photographs and the video tour below.

    Visit Aruba | De Palm Island | Aruba Marriott Resort |

                       Bonbini , Its time for another travel diary and this time we are heading to one happy island Aruba. Aruba is a Dutch Caribbean island home to dry sunny days and great beaches ! We went there for our anniversary vacation in late august. We had booked our stay at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Casino, the hotel was pretty booked during this time mainly because it was almost end of summer but we managed to get an ocean view room.

    The Eagle beach is right in front and the hotel also has a casino which you can visit , the concierge actually gave us a small goody bag and a cash coupon to use at the casino. We only went for three days , It wasn’t much but we actually had a great time , its a small island there isn’t much to see as compared to Hawaii but its great for a quick getaway. We enjoyed some great sunshine at the beach , enjoyed parasailing , water rafting etc. Things we didn’t get to try were such as the submarine drive ( Doesn’t seem like a good idea for Claustrophobic folks ) the shipwreck snorkel and the famous natural pool adventure.

    Instead, we booked with De Palm Island All-Inclusive Adventure and went there. There is a lot you can do there and its included in the one time fee but just a reminder they do have some activities that aren’t included in that fee and you would have to pay extra. Included activites include snorkeling, zip line ,banana boat, air jumper , water park and salsa dancing. They have a souvenir shop and temporary tattoo shop as well.

    We didn’t rent a car because basically everything was just conveniently accessible by walking. There was a mall and a bunch of restaurant just around the corner. We mostly went to Ruth Chris’s Steak house and Tandoor The Indian Grill House. Loved both of them , great food.

    So here we are arriving at the Maui airport and waiting for our luggage to arrive.

    For our stay we decided to stay at the beautiful Sheraton Maui Resort. Its located right on the Kaanapali Beach with some stunning views of the West Maui Mountains as well.

    We bought a partial ocean view floor plan for our stay which offered beautiful view of the ocean as well as the West Maui mountains as you can see below. P.S  can you spot the rainbow?

    While we were there , we also enjoyed some Hawaiian Rain and a little birdy came to visit us on our balcony!


    Some more views of the resort.

    ʻIao Valley State Park is a must visit , the views and the beauty is absolutely stunning and no photograph can do justice to the nature you are able to experience in person.

     

     

    Relax day on Kaanapali Beach

    We took the 8 line Adventure Tour Zip line with Skyline Eco Adventures. It was our first time and we had a blast . It looks scary but once you do it you will definitely want to do it again! Trust me !

    The next morning we got up early to go Snorkeling with Redline Rafting. Bummer we didn’t spot in whales because the whale season ends in early May! but we did get to see turtles and dolphins.


    If you have time definitely visit The Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm In Maui. It was worth the drive !

     

    We missed the sunrise at Haleakalā Crater National Park but we still drove there to enjoy the stunning sunset. The sunset was seriously the most amazing part of this drive , seeing the clouds below us from above was absolutely stunning.

    The one thing to definitely do in Hawaii is take the Road to Hana , you will see some of the most amazing views of the Island. Don’t forget to take the map with you.

    Don’t forget to stop by the Botanical Gardens on your drive to Hana.

    Before heading back we stopped to eat lunch/dinner at the Hana Ranch Restaurant which provides great ocean views.



    For a fancier dinner date we decided to visit the Monsoon India Restaurant. The views , the food everything exceeded our expectation.


    We also drove to the outlets to Maui and enjoyed some delicious ice cream from cold stone with a great view !

    One thing you HAVE to try are these delicious chocolates , we bought them from Walgreens.
