Day 57 Today we had a chill day at home. After all the museums packed into the 96 hours of the I Amsterdam Pass we needed a break. Having the realization that we make our own weekends has been helpful in keeping this adventure sustainable. If we try to go, go, go seven days a…
Day 50 Today was our last day at the beach in Zandvoort. We’ve found a lot of favorites in Zandvoort and we wanted to do some of them again to celebrate the amazing time that we had here. We started the day at our favorite beach, an easy bike ride from the house. Luckily we’re…
Day 43 Going to the beach was our only goal of today. We got to the beach earlier than past days. We played in the water, dried off , and went in the water some more. #productivity While drying off on the beach, we heard drumming and remembered that the Pride parade of Zandvoort was…
Day 36 Today we had a very long trip planned to get to the Netherlands, but part one of the odyssey was getting back to London. We took a taxi to Wells, then we took a bus from Wells to Bristol, and then another bus from Bristol to London. As mentioned in Week 5, we…
Day 29 We took a bus from London to Bristol and another bus (a smaller/town one) from Bristol to Wells. Wells is the biggest “city” in England. It gets to be called a city because it has a cathedral, and a church is a cathedral if it is designated the seat of a cardinal, which…
Day 22 First night in the hostel last night was a little rough. A few things led to this. London does not believe in air-con because it is usually a lovely 70-75 degrees at the warmest. London is having one of the hottest summers on record. People. 12 people in a very small room is…
Day 15 Today we adventured somewhere a little farther out (and free!), Fulham Palace. It’s not a “real” palace, it was the residence of the Bishop of London for 12 centuries. The Fulham grounds were beautiful and had tons of history. We arrived at the palace after a (semi) long train adventure. We checked out…
Day 8 Another day started with Jonestown Coffee. I don’t know how I feel about leaving this neighborhood next weekend. I love the little organic grocery store (shout out to Dennis!) and definitely love this coffee place. But I’m sure we will go on to find even more amazing areas. We went to Bankside today…
Our first week of travel is complete, 51 weeks to go on this year long adventure. We went at a breakneck pace doing touristy things for the first week but also took some time to stop and revel in this adventure. It still doesn’t seem real that this is our life for the next year.…
