Bristol

It's over! We're back in Bristol, having arrived at Dan's parents' house at 5pm on Christmas Eve. It's been a 350-day trek starting in January and covering 67,000km across 28 countries—but we're bringing this neverending journey to an end at last. You're finally safe from our notifications.

We caught the Eurostar from Amsterdam, switched trains in London (pausing for fish and chips, of course), and then rode the miraculously empty and punctual GWR back to Bristol in the first-class carriage. Unexpected perk of the Interrail passes! Now we have a couple of weeks getting our shit together (and honestly, just enjoying access to a bath and the rest of our wardrobe) before restarting our lives again in London.

That's basically it. If you're a regular reader you will already have seen most of our notes from the year, and if you have a conversation with either of us any time in the next 70 years you can expect to hear more about it. So we won't blather on here, when we should all be celebrating the new year with our friends and families. We'll see you all in 2026! 🌏🗺️🤩Read more
