You are the best!

During corona time, I called Annemiek from WAW travel on a drizzly Monday. I wanted to walk the North of Menorca and the kids just wanted to go to the beach. Annemiek and Roberto have put together a wonderful 2.5 week trip for us. I hiked the Cami de Cavalls and the kids and luggage were taken to the following locations by transfer. That's how we saw the North and the South ;-). Menorca is beautiful and unspoilt and the people are loving and laid back. They are not called Los Bohemios for nothing. The accommodations were top notch, the food was great and the transfers were always punctual. The walks were well marked, beautiful and sometimes challenging (35+ degrees ;-)). Walking along clear blue bays, over rocks and straight through nature, my brain came to rest. We would like to thank Annemiek and Roberto for their flexibility and the organization of this fantastic trip. You are the best!
