On the trip of a Lifetime Judy Deli and the ease of Phone Records and took an interim trip around europe by train from here they went to the Czech Republic on the east of eden its me from The Netherlands and documented it all on instagram and facebook is. 23. 00 a day coming countries and once again were taking you on a train trip through europe im and im juliet and together will be the year of Pop Summer Destinations but what i also discovered sitting down. And that was 3 weeks ago and now theyre back here with me in the studio theyve
survived. 3 weeks so. What was the most challenging thing about it well one thing that worried me was trying to get along with luisa for 3 weeks but i think he knows pretty well and that one thing that we found quite difficult was arriving in paris and it being 42 degrees celsius so it was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the city and we had to find creative ways to try to survive the heat so we basically ended up staying in the hotel until it got cooler and then visited the sites in the evening now louisa ive been to most countries in europe ive been to a city behind never be diverted so i dont know you had to bet its so how was venice thats a difficult question of course its a wonderful city theres so so much to see so much history but we were also quite surprised of how many tourists we actually encountered we found out that actually informing yourself well before going there and also going by night when most of the
tourists have gone as good to oh ok so it was very busy you talked before about you said about hidden gems and i believe slovenia was a gem why was that yeah it was it was surprising to us how beautiful the country is and we had also play. And the trip so that we visited a lot of cities but slovenia was an opportunity to get into nature so we went hiking on the mountains near moneyball and that was a great way to come away refreshed and having experienced gorgeous European Nature and you go away from the crime yes. Now unfortunately you had to work was this posting on instagram and facebook and into the interacting with followers on your trip what was that like well we didnt expect actually that it would be such a positive experience we thought we would have critiques but actually most of it was really positive we had people wishing us good journey saying hello every morning commenting on the photos and even someone at the end said that she had
tears in her eyes when she learned that we were at the end of our trip and that is it is it still going on this process or have you finished everything were still responding to a few messages that we get but from tomorrow we are off on new adventures yet really. What was prague like probably was great i had already been the reason i had already been but it was a great way to experience the city and we took a free walking tour which is something we would really recommend to discover new cities or maybe learn new things about somewhere youve already been and the love of your trip i saw a picture of it im still fishing for plastic yes it was about and also what else did i stood. For this is new for everyone but i got married to an amsterdam right for one day for thats part of the initiative thats called on Tourist Amsterdam and the principle is you meet locals and you spend the day together doing
things that are good for the city and so we went plastic fishing for honeymoon yeah. I know youre divorced im divorced i was undeniably divorced now one of the great things about traveling is you meet local people. What was the impression of your fellow europeans so we met a lot of young europeans and what we found was a lot of people enthusiastic about europe open to people from other parts of the continent and really happy to be able to share common values common interests and just get to know each other better and thats lovely said yeah finally introduced me very popular in my day its also popular slow travel would you do it again yes or not yes absolutely yeah well its been great having you here thanks for popping in and have a rest now and.
