Europe 2013

Europe Trip 2013


So before I go off on a tangent I just have to say this was the most amazing, unforgetful, adventurous trip of a lifetime. I got to spend 2 1/2 weeks with my best friend exploring Europe! Since I had graduated BYU last year and Chris just finished medical school we thought we would take this time and experience different countries and cultures. While I was in Europe I kept a journal by my bed so I could log all the fantastic and wonderful things we got to experience. Since there is more than 50pgs in that journal I will save you from reading and do a photo blog because really there was sooo much to see! I started planning this trip early January to middle April. So if you are wanting to take a Europe trip you need a lot of time to plan! Especially if you go as long as we went. We traveled to London England, Paris France, Geneva Interlaken Bernese Oberland Gimmelwald Murren Swizterland, Barcelona Spain, and Madrid Spain! If you would like details on what we ate, how to budget, how to get from country to country and when to go just message me and I can provide all the details.

First day in London England after 16 hours of traveling. Chris and I switched off wearing a money belt. I think we were a little tired because I wore it on the outside of my clothes.
