Back home and best bits

On Friday 9th July 2022 we caught a bus from The Tommy Wass at the top of Dewsbury Rd in Leeds and travelled by train, tube, car, metro, taxi, boat, tram, bicycle and foot to visit 6 countries and now we're going home again.

Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Venice, Salzburg and Munich.

Were on our final journey home setting off from Munich at 8.27am and heading to the Eurostar at Brussels. Then continuing up to Leeds in one day hopefully arriving home at 22.57.

We've drank our body weight in water. We've been bitten and stung. We've massaged aching feet, laughed and cried.

The best meal was the beer garden in Munich.

The second best meal were the waffles in Salzburg. The best food overall I felt was Spain from Tapas on a rooftop pool to Nachos on the beach, a pokesalad at a bar and spagetti Carbonara in a restaurant.

Travelling has been a laugh but we've learnt lots of important things firstly how lucky we are to be able to do something like this. Learning to communicate in different speaking countries were the collective language is English. This has made our travelling a bit easier but its isolating when you don't know what people are saying. However, you will learn more by trying and making a fool of yourself than doing nothing at all.

At the hostel yesterday we sat down and wrote our best bits of the trip:
