    Park Asterix looked great. You could see you all enjoyed the rides. Who needs Disney!

    Thank you for sharing your fun family holiday, it's all about giving your children fond memories to remember later in life. And of course for your wife and you to unwind, relax and enjoy being a family together.

    Easter looks like it was a lot of fun also - the smaller amusement park looked much more manageable for children also...Good call on that one!!

    Thank you for sharing your trip. I spent a couple of months in Spain a few years back and visited the Guggenheim. I recall there was a huge dog sculpture out front that was a mass of flowers. Very beautiful. I also had a coffee at the little café there and was amused to watch a little sparrow fly in and out several times helping himself to an orange & poppy seed muffin. He had eaten the entire side out. Didn’t touch any others, it kept coming back to the same one. It was on a large tray of at least a dozen muffins on the countertop. Funny, the things that stick in your mind. I loved Spain.

    Thank you for sharing your holiday with us. Beautiful cities, Villages and architecture. Sorry about Disney. That's not good but it worked out so the children had a fun anyway. The titanium clad museum is fascinating. Enjoyed.

    Thank you for taking us on your holiday.
    My young adult kids and I went to Europa Park in Rust Germany in 2017. It was fantastic with all the roller coasters. I think we were the only people from outside of Europe there. Many asked us how we knew about it. My son had googled best roller coasters in Europe.
    Astrid World looked like it was a lot of fun for your family.

    I went to Parc Asterix when I was a teenager. I grew up reading the comics as a kid so I absolutely loved it. Much better than Disneyland!

    Before I retired the view from my office was the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Also designed by Frank Gehry. It is covered in stainless steel. Problem was with our beautiful constant sunshine, it reflected horribly. They ended up brushing the steel to mitigate the reflection. Still a gorgeous building that I was privileged to see every day. Honestly I feel Disneyland is over-rated, but when I was in Paris I wanted go. Lol My travel companions did not. Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip! ❣️

    If you remember me, I have a place near Piacenza. Finally got there for a couple of weeks. My cycling club were riding the Abbott's be way down to Pontremoli via every climb known! We did it in continuous rain. Ride back flatter but not drier. We stayed in the (ex) monastery. Wish I had the energy for a good look round but the bit we saw finding a restaurant was lovely. Enjoyed your grand tour.

    SO glad you took a vacation from your hard work in Italy. Your little ones are getting big! Enjoyed the video very much. How nice to have made friends from Italy that you could visit. Spain is a fantastic country. Shame on Disney! I'm so glad you were able to find the other park so your kids weren't disappointed. ❤

    That is exactly what snow is beautiful and miserable. I'm in Canada and we had snow a couple of days ago--possibly the same time as you got. I am so glad to see things improve for you on your travels.

    I've always been more Asterix than Disney, I'm delighted you went there instead. I got sunburned in Sete as a youngster, that brought back some memories 👍 the ferry leaving for Morocco in the evening was a beautiful sight back then. What a trip! Well done for all that driving.

    Great video. U talk about stopping to eat dinner\lunch. I think, myself personally, would enjoy a little more on restaurants and what your eating.. there are a lot of foodies out there. I realize you have small children an realize that may not always be easy. Your better off without Disney!

    looks like you had a fantastic holiday, absolutely abysmal, well non existent, service at Disneyland and so disappointing for the kids, but hey I think you all had a better time at Parc Asterix as it didn´t look so crowded so I am guessing the cues for the rides were not so long so more time for fun..

    I'm so sorry about your Disney experience it is not easy I live in northern California and we go to Florida or Disneyland in Anaheim and I have to make our reservation sometimes a year out and then get tickets and any meal you want to sit down and have you have to make your reservation 60 days prior to arrival if you're staying off property you can do it a 120 days in advance if you're staying on property. It looked like you had a great day you may have been better off.
