So 'not that far' means about an hours walk over there. 'It is quite a walk', then would be like two hours. 'Too long for the kids', that'll be about a three hour walk.
Those horse flies sting like the worst. And it is commonly known that indeed they only go for horses. Or men hung like one. 😁
Sounds like you are having a family vacation. Saw on of the photos that there appears to be electricity available, so it could be worse.

Have a great time and may the sun greet you all a lot!
I think you haave figured out the secret language of the distances! That sounds exactly right.
We are indeed having a little holiday, It has been good. Our cottage has an open fire and electricity so we are sorted for staying warm and being able to cook!
Cheers mate!
