Writings and pictures about our travels and adventures with Lex.
Monday 20th-22nd August 2017 This was it; we were at the very end of our trip. Our final three nights were spent in France, chilling out in a rural farmhouse we’d found on Airbnb. It was incredibly “hygge”. The place was fully decked out in traditional red and white checked materials, with blankets, corner lighting and… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 81-83
Sunday 19th August 2017 Today was officially our last day of waking up after sleeping in the car. It was a momentous occasion. Also, it was freezing. Whatever happened to August? Pulling on the down jackets we haven’t worn since Scandinavia, we made our last porridge breakfast and packed up the car ready to drive… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 80
Saturday 18th August 2017 Today began with a loss so unfortunate that it’s been difficult to write about. The thing we’d been dreading for the last three months finally happened – under the stress of its perilous duties, Water Baby sprung a leak, and sadly… passed on. We gave our fallen comrade a respectful memorial service,… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 79
Friday 17th August We woke up in the Black Forest, with the plan of finding an authentic black forest gateau for breakfast cake. A bit of Googling soon revealed that the black forest gateau is actually “one the world’s most bastardised cakes.” It’s generally made with lots of brandy, which most imitations leave out, or… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 78
Wednesday 15th & 16th August We woke up this morning to another glorious view over Grindelwald. Lex, in particular, did indeed seem to be in heaven after all, and spent the morning sunbathing on top of the tent so that we couldn’t leave. But it was time to head back to Zurich, to drop Morgan’s… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 76 & 77
Tuesday 15th August We woke up at a Swiss campsite this morning, after another cold night in the Alps. Well, Max and I agreed it had been a cold night. Morgan insisted it had been pleasantly warm. At one point, I had woken up in the night feeling cold, and tried to huddle deeper into… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 75
Monday 14th August Today was all about hiking in the Swiss Alps, which was a bit of a shock to the system after a full week of sitting around, eating Italian food and drinking Disaronno. Fortunately, we had some pretty incredible views to keep us going. Morgan’s brother, Max, was travelling with us for… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 74
Sunday 6th August – 13th August This week was spent relaxing in the small Italian town of Ceriana, very close to the French border. Ceriana is built precariously on the side of a hill, a mess of stone houses, ancient churches, winding medieval-style streets and earthquake-torn ruins. This region of Italy is such a unique… Continue reading Euro Road Trip Diary – Day 65 to 73
