10 Things We Didn’t Think We’d Miss Backpacking Europe

Besides our friends and family, here are ten things we didn’t think we’d miss while backpacking Europe.

Getting Cozy With Unknowns, Uncertainty, and Unpredictability

Our final wrap up of our European backpacking trip. We discuss our travel by plane, train, and bus to get from Italy to Portugal.

A Place to Stay In Vasto Italy

We search for a place to spend a week in Italy on rentalia.com and find Vasto. We find an apartment and spend a week reading and relaxing.

Krakow Salt Mines, Museum Fail, Train Couchette – Krakow, Poland

We have 12 hours left in Poland. We attempt to see the underground museum, end up 130 meters deep in a salt mine, and discover train “couchettes.”

Sheep, Graveyards, and Amsterdam “Coffeeshops”

We cut our visit to Loch Lomond short and head back to Edinburgh. We get coffee where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter, before taking the DFDS ferry to Amsterdam. We learn about prostitution in the Red Light District and the “Coffeeshops” that sell marijuana.

DIY Dash Camera, Platform 9 3/4, Scottish Highlands

Our trip from London to Edinburgh Scotland by Megabus. Using our DIY dash cam to film our car ride from Edinburgh to Loch Lomond. We visit Buckingham Palace and Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station.

New Friends in Brussels, Problems in London (AirBnB)

A great time with new friends in Brussels, Belgium. A long bus ride, and our first Airbnb issue.

Gap Kids, Eiffel Tower (Night) and Stupid Alex

Our last day in Paris and detour to London through Brussels. A sparkling Eiffel Tower and a Gap that used to be the theater where the first movie was ever shown. Also, Alex sucks.
