Three Days in Belgium: When a Family Holiday Goes Off Plan

By Tobi Adeniran

Three Days in Belgium: is a real life family story. What happens when a family holiday that was supposed to be relaxing turns into a series of unexpected twists, disappointments, laughter and unforgettable moments? Tessy and Manny set off from England with their three children Jessy, Judah and Jude for a short family trip to Belgium. With suitcases packed and excitement high, they expect sightseeing, good food and a few peaceful days together.

Instead, the holiday quickly takes an unexpected turn. There is McDonald's at the service station... and then McDonald's again when Manny discovers that every other food shop is closed. The accommodation they thought was a hotel turns out to be a hostel. The room is unbearably hot, there is no air-conditioning, no television, barely any ventilation, and one small table fan has to be shared by the entire family. Then comes the rain, and more rain. Their sightseeing plans are cancelled, the family is stuck indoors, and the children have already decided what kind of holiday this is:

"This holiday is cooked."
"This holiday is flopped."
"This holiday is roasted "

But just when the family finally gets out to explore, there are more surprises including a boat tour, delicious Belgian waffles, another downpour, forgotten jackets and a frightening text message that sends Tessy into a desperate prayer for her family's safety. Through all the mishaps, frustrations and moments of panic, something unexpected happens: the family grows closer. Three Days in Belgium is a warm, humorous and relatable family travel story about discovering that the best memories do not always come from perfect holidays. Sometimes, they come from the holidays where absolutely nothing goes according to plan. A real family. A real holiday. A story you'll laugh about long after the suitcases are unpacked.
