We wanted somewhere for our family, friends, and fellow travelers to get updates on our travels, so we set up this site! Here you'll find pictures and stories we've collected on our way. We hope you enjoy them and send us some of your own or join us for an adventure!
Today Sarah and I decided that after our 9 hours of hiking yesterday (including breaks) we should take it easy. So we started the day with a 45 minute hike up to Furi, which is essentially a collection of restaurants at the first stop of the gondola between Zermatt and …
Hey everyone! Let’s start with a pretty picture of alpenglow from the balcony of a guest house we stayed in! I’m very sorry I haven’t posted anything in so long! Obviously the travel log thing isn’t going as well as I’d hoped. I am still recording as we go, but …

The next morning we once more headed into central London. Our first stop was King’s Cross Station to search for Platform 9 3/4. It was easy to find, there was a line to get your picture taken running through the wall and a shop full of Harry Potter merchandise. We …
The next day we walked through the park along a canal that was completely lined with houseboats. At first we assumed these would be full of slightly homeless looking people but as we started seeing the residents we were noticing lots of young, well-dressed individuals. We kept on and eventually …
At about 10:55 the next morning I checked the phone wondering what time it was… I quickly woke up Sarah and we dressed, ran downstairs to check out (and leave our bags with the porter again) and run out to the tube station where we caught a train heading in …
