Brett & I were both bit by the travel bug prior to getting married. As last year’s summer road trip indicates we are both big fans of seeing the world. Over the last few years of married life, most of our travels took place on the highway and most of our nights were spent in tents, or the back of a station wagon. After trekking all over the US, we were both ready to branch out a bit father. We sold our faithful station wagon and a few spins of the globe later, we settled on heading to the Mediterranean. Traveling on a budget isn’t always easy, but fortunately, we’re both willing to do what it takes to get more miles and sights under our belts. For this trip that included packing light, only one backpack each, for a month, riding cheap local trains, as well as sleeping in a train station.
Over the past month Brett & I have traveled on six airplanes, dozens of trains, a few buses (some double deckers)several boats, a subway or two, some sky trams, a couple of taxis and one tiny scooter. In doing so we were able to visit seven countries and get tastes of even more along the way.
This trip was quite an experience for both of us. It was the first time either of us had been to Europe and we really wanted to savor the journey. By focusing most of our attention on the experience we didn’t end up documenting the trip as well as we would have liked. With that being said, we did still get some fabulous photos and a handful of videos along the way.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some of our pictures & video clips with you on this blog. So brush up on your foreign language skills and stay tuned!
Leaving Nassau, Bahamas on Sept 26th we flew to Barcelona, Spain. On Oct 26th we flew back to Nassau from Milan, Italy.
Flights are shown in blue, boat voyages are shown in green. All other transportation was done via train or on foot.
This photo was taken before dawn at the Nassau International Airport.
See you in Barcelona!
