Goodbye, London! Goodbye, Europe! | Our final days abroad
This is it: our FINAL day on this crazy, 91-day adventure backpacking around Europe. We tried so hard to pretend it wasn't coming to an end, but it was all we could think about as we retraced our steps from our first full day in London all the way back at the start of the trip. It's been a wild ride, and we've made SO many memories that will last a lifetime. We're not saying goodbye forever, but for now, we'll just say this: Thank you for everything, Europe. We can't wait to see you again.

A MAGICAL return to LONDON! 🇬🇧 | There's SO MUCH left to explore...
Переглядів 8 тис.Місяць тому
And just like that, we were back in the city where it all began: London! The instant we arrived, the nostalgia set in, and it only grew as we revisited some of the places we explored our first time around (we even stayed in the same hostel because we're THAT sentimental). But it wasn't all familiar sights, of course. The vast majority of our time was spent exploring new sections of the city and...
Castles, arcades, and beautiful bays in CARDIFF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 | Do NOT overlook Wales!
Переглядів 4,7 тис.2 місяці тому
It was another city we never intended to visit but after exploring London, Edinburgh, and Belfast, it was only fair to venture to Wales and round out the U.K. capitals. Lucky for us, we had a great time! Cardiff Castle was far more impressive than we expected, the arcades were filled with cool shops, the bay area was beautiful, and there was some VERY unique architecture on display. We get the ...
Retracing our steps in Edinburgh! | This really IS goodbye, Scotland... 😢
Переглядів 4,5 тис.2 місяці тому
We began our final day in Edinburgh with something VERY different from anything else we'd experienced on the trip. But afterwards, it was time for a "greatest hits" day, where we retraced our steps from our first time in the city (with a few deviations here and there). It was emotional knowing we were leaving this place for good this time... but as we've hinted, this is NOT goodbye forever. We'...
Scottish Highlands: the MOST BEAUTIFUL landscapes we've seen? 🏔️ | This was truly a day to remember
Переглядів 14 тис.2 місяці тому
It's not every day you get to see sights like these. The weather may have been a mixed bag, but the Scottish Highlands still managed to make a STRONG impression on us. We already loved Scotland before this day trip thanks to our time in Edinburgh, but after spending some time up north, with incredible landscapes all around us, our appreciation for the country grew even more. We spent time at th...

This wasn't originally part of the plan but we loved Edinburgh so much the first time around, we squeezed in a few more days here at the tail end of the trip!

Athens feels OTHERWORLDLY 🇬🇷 | This city touched our souls
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 місяці тому
We know we keep mentioning how beautiful each city we visit is, but we can say this definitively: Athens gave us THE BEST view overlooking a city of the entire trip. Standing atop the Acropolis, staring out at the vast expanse of white buildings stretching to the bordering mountains, was one of the most awe-inspiring sights of our entire lives. Honestly, it might be THE most awe-inspiring sight...

Here's a fun fact: Vatican City is BEAUTIFUL. Truly every bit as beautiful as we were expecting. What we WEREN'T expecting is just how much the Vatican Museums had to offer. We spent the majority of our final full day in Italy (well, technically it WASN'T spent in Italy, because Vatican City is its own country!) exploring the countless rooms filled with incredible art and ancient artifacts.

So granted, we've only been to four Italian cities, but this one was far and away our favorite. The scenery and architecture were beautiful; the food and wine were delicious; the atmosphere was surprisingly laid back; the weather was perfect; there were impressive sculptures placed all throughout the city... And of course, Florence has THE MOST spectacular sculpture of all: Michelangelo's David...

We saw a bit of everything here: castles, churches, archways, street performers, expensive shopping malls, and even a pizza-spinning show!

You may be ludicrously expensive, but we forgive you, Switzerland. Why? Because you have positively gorgeous landscapes. We've seen beauty on this trip, but few places have been able to rival YOUR beauty. And as for the city: Bern was quite unique. Maybe not the most architecturally diverse, but it still managed to leave us with many happy memories. Onward to Italy! FOLLOW US ON: ► Instagram: i...

Loved Scotland, went to Glasgow, Glenfinnen, Inverness, Isle of Skye, St.Andrews, and Edinburgh. Edinburgh is breathtaking, loved the Castle and the overlook it was awesome. Awesome country and people!!

    There are no Ubers in Dublin. If youn want to be ripped off, go eating or drinking in Temple Bar, it's a tourist trap. Ask any Dubliner and they'll point you to bars and restaurants five minures away that are half the price, plus you'll meet real Irish people.

    I've really enjoyed dipping in to your travel blogs Lauren and Brian. Good to see where it all began for you. I'm an Edinburgher and so was hugely touched by your reaction to Auld Reekie. Sometimes seeing your everyday environment through the reactions of first time visitors brings it home just how beautiful home actually is! Hoping you have readapted to USA once again. With gratitude for your generous, warm hearted film adventures.

    The problem with trains from Germany to a final destination in Switzerland is well known to travellers - the German trains are often late, arrive often too late at Swiss border to fit into the dense public transport network timetable in Switzerland any more. So arriving trains are stopped before scheduled destination - at some critical border stations Swiss railway company keeps backup trains to leave the border station on time for the journey in Switzerland, travellers arriving too late on the train from Germany will have to wait for an other connecting train. Tickets are valid for connecting train to final destination. Looks like in that specific case, train was allowed to continue to Winterthur railway node only.

    Hi. I'm from Aberdeenshire (castle country) but have lived in Edinburgh for almost 30 years. When you live here you sort of take all the wonderful sights for granted. Thank you for your enthusiasm about my beloved nation. BTW You mentioned Kelpies (water horses) when you were at Loch Ness... Did you spot Andy Scott's beautiful 100ft tall steel sculptures of the Kelpies just outside Falkirk on your way back to Edinburgh? We got a fleeting glimpse of them at 16.59 on your video. They're modelled on a pair of Clydesdale horses that pulled the barges along the canals - Baron has his head up and Duke has his head down. They're even more impressive close up and there's now a 'tour' you can do that allows you to go inside Baron and climb up into his head!

    Yeah, if you buy a train ticket in Switzerland then you can take any train at any time who goes to your destination, unless you bought a ticket with a very reduced fare, so you are train bound. And as you mentioned, you came from Munich. I guess the train was so delayed ( Deutsche Bahn salutes you) that the Swiss had to end the train in Winterthur so as to not delay the Swiss train schedule. It happens every Day. But as the Swiss railway schedule has trains every 30.min to every destination it shouldnt bei a big problem

    I hadn’t watched your early video’s so i checked a couple out……..wow, first time outside America……Wow, Edinburgh video 165K views, by far the most watched, then again when you come back the views go way up again, my daughter was asking why are people fascinated with Edinburgh ? i said it all depends on where you come from and what you’re used to seeing every day, so seeing Edinburgh for the first time is like a whole different world, Americans won’t having like it over there……or seeing Glencoe for the first time, it’s untouched & timeless, so for us we see it every day so it’s normal, for American’s it’s a total shock to the system, hope to see you back over some time, loved watching your journey 😍👌🏻

Its now a ventalation shaft for the subway ...Tourism in Liverpool was not that big in 1973 .. There is a sign, in Mathew street saying exactly where it was originally ... The new Cavern club (30 meters away ..about ) is a replica of the original... I watched and enjoyed all your videos/travels. Thank you :))) .. From a Scouser

I witnessed 3 pickpocketings (1 was just after and i believe a weapon was involved as a woman was crying hysterically speaking to the police). We also saw a fight in the underground, blood everywhere and it went on and on. The police never turned up before pur train left.

Most americans are not used to walking the miles we take for granted. By the way in the 17th 18th century Covent Garden and Haymarket areas had a salacious reputation for its brothels. Haymarket ware or Covent Garden ware were euphemisms for ladies of low repute.
