Europe
Welcome! This is a blog for our big trip to Europe in June/July. We've got 11 countries to visit, or 12 if you count Vatican City. So I guess it will all unfold here.....

Travelling to the top of Europe

What a day it has been. And what a start. Our alarm went at 4am. Troy, in a slight act of confusion, thought it was his phone ringing, quickly jumped out of bed and straight into a wooden shelf and has limped for the remainder of the day. But at least the adrenaline was pumping from an early stage.
We took 6 different trains to get to this Swiss mountain with a long unpronouncable name, but it is commonly referred to as the Top of Europe. It is 3500m above sea level. Hence the name. And you could go up onto viewing decks, through an ice palace and onto the actual snow. We were very excited to go onto the snow but sadly we had not really packed winter clothes when we left New Zealand. So we each put on a few jumpers, but it was negative 3 and 40k winds. It just wasnt happening. But we had a great time up there. Infact our whole Swiss experience has been so much fun.
So we are in Zurich at the moment. Fly to London tomorrow then home the next day.
This is a real average computer so cant put our photos on here, but we are home in a few days so can just show them to you all.
Weve had such a good trip, seen so many cool things, met some great people but also looking forward to coming home.
See you all shortly.
