In The Beginning

7 years ago me and him first met. We moved in quickly (kind of by accident, but that's a different story) and spent a couple of years just going on mini-road trips but never going too far.

The summer of 2014 we decided to go on a road trip around Europe, and this was the beginning of the travel bug getting to us as a couple. We had both gone off on our own adventures before we met, but now it was different with the two of us.

Now we're 4 years on from that, and our adventures just keep getting better and better. We share a lot of what we do on our social media pages, and often how people asking how we do it when we just have "normal" jobs and have our house etc. So we decided to write about it.

To get us started, we're going to share some of our older adventures, and then as we go on new ones they'll be here.

So first up, let's get started with our first European road trip. This one isn't the best documented one as this is what kicked off the bug, but it's up hill from here.

Jungfraujoch

Having spent the night on top of the world, we had planned to go even higher up and head to the top of Europe - Jungfraujoch! It's also known as the highest train station in Europe sitting at a pretty cool 3454m above sea level. We knew we had plenty of time for this section of the adventure, as our next stop was only about a 2 hour drive away (a short distance in comparison to some of the drives we had done so far) so once we got back down from our hotel, we had a short walk across to the train station to get the train on up. We had pre-booked this trip through Swiss Travel Centre, as we had also bought a Half Fare Railcard each - at £89 each, they're not cheap, but the savings you get from these railcards quickly adds up as they do what they say on the tin and give you 50% discount on the trains, boats, buses and some cable cars. For the 2 excursions we knew we had planned, we had effectively made our money back on the ticket costs, and then there were added bonuses like ou...

Something a Little Bit Special

Last time I wrote I left it with us strolling through Zermatt and heading towards the mountains. To be exact. we had arranged to go on the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise excursion, using our half-fare rail cards. This trip involved taking 4 gondolas up the mountains and once at the top you had a panoramic view of 38 peaks of the Alps. It was set to be a beautiful day, little did I know at the time that it was going to get extra special. So we headed on up the mountain, working our way through the various gondolas. You can get off at each stage and go exploring if you wish, but we decided we wanted to go all the way up first and explore on our way down if we wanted to. Arriving at the top, it's safe to say the view was spectacular! We made our way up in the lift to the viewing platform that sets you at 3883m, and able to see the French, Italian and Swiss Alps. In the distance is Mont Blanc (the highest mountain in Europe and somewhere that we had driven through on our very first ro...
