After heading west to Ireland in 2023, it's back to mainland Europe for our 2024 summer break and a trip to the Czech Republic by train. We'll be stopping off in the Netherlands on the way to hopefully visit Efteling after two failed attempts during Covid and after visiting our friends near Prague, heading with them to the Bohemian spa town of Karlovy Vary.
