Our Swiss Adventure Comes To A HALT: Vanlife Switzerland
It's our first time visiting Switzerland and its everything we dreamed it would be, but thanks to Jon more than the beautiful landscapes becomes breathtaking. I've just about forgiven him for what he does on our 'relaxing' trip to Grindelwald. Explore lovely Lucerne, Lungern and Lauterbrunnen with us as we discover what this country has to offer, spoiler alert, it really does live up to the hype. There's no Instagram verses reality here, its so pretty it doesn't seem real.

3:26 - 3:36 That boat is a Riva Aquariva 33 Super. They cost over half a million Pounds to buy brand new and around £350,000 second-hand on the cheapest end. So yes, you were working on a very very posh boat 😁.

Definitely didn’t break it. They stop for people who either are in a big group and taking equipment with the i.e bikes and skis or those who have disabilities and need help to get on or for families with a pushchair or toddlers etc. or sometime they stop because they have genuine technical issues when I was living in merible I can remember being on a cable car and it stopped for at least 30 minutes it was in the winter too and boy did it get cold quickly
Switzerland is ANOTHER LEVEL 😳 If you wanna climb/hike a decent mountain then Mont Blanc is for you.. There's also a stunning Cable Car ride up if you don't fancy the hike 🚠 If you can't tackle that path around those rocks at Gridlewald, you probably struggle with Everest 😆tho Another brilliant video tho guys 🚐💨🇨🇭❤

😂😂 yeah I think Everest might be a bit of a step too far 😂😂
Haha in the snowstorms those lifts go all places. They usually slow down if someone isn't able to jump out or get in quickly. Like for old or disabled people they stop it so they can help them get on.

Just catching up with your previous vids after I’ve been introduced to you by your Arctic adventure. Arctic is a dream but one that’ll need to wait until retirement (kids, family, work). I love Switzerland, been a few times and I can concur, that walk around the mountain in Gridlewald is a bit scary. Just asking for some advice really. I’m planning my Alps trip for May and Switzerland is always on the list but what did you think of Slovenia as that’s another option? Keep up the great work and drive safe. Live our dreams for us until we can get to do them. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi, thanks so much, we’ve had a brilliant time. We loved Switzerland but loved Slovenia even more! It’s so beautiful and the people are very helpful and friendly. We did a few videos there so you can see what it’s like. Wild camping isn’t allowed but we stayed at a great place in Bovec that takes donations and the rest of the time their motorway stops were really quite pleasant. Also found a lovely family restaurant that gave us water and let us stay. If you pop me a message on Facebook I’ll happily send over my list of things to do and see for the trip we did in this series.
