Tired mums and dads

Next week it will be half a year since we got to our household a small little boy. The cutest and the most smiley creature you can imagine. Filling our days with warmth, smiles, surprises and love.

And then it happened without any big planning, that we appeared in the middle of GR20 on Corsica. How it was on Corsica? And how we made it, that we could make at all multiday hike with this time 3 kids (5 months, 7 years and 9 years)? Some highlights and disclaimers:  We did only 3 days of the whole GR 20 - that was 2 days more than we expected 😊.  Hiking with kids was great and it was again a great experience.  Sleeping in one tent with 3 kids is a challenge, but it is fine if you do not have a sleeping mat which makes terrible noise whenever the kid moves on it.  Taking a baby for a hike is a great choice. Whenever you are sweating too ...
