gas station Circle K this is how we're starting  the video yeah we are starting the journey to  

Germany yeah the journey to Germany and anyways  it's a bit of a different Journey now that we're  

no longer in Toronto it was very different when  we were a 20 minute drive from the airport now  

we're out in the mountains kind of in the middle  of nowhere so my parents have driven us almost  

one hour to like one of the nearest towns where  we're going to be catching a bus a three-hour  

bus into Calgary um and then apparently we've got  a five hour wait at the airport you were saying  

yeah so yeah so this bus only comes once a day  so we need to catch the one so yeah we're just  

waiting there's no bus terminal we're just at  a Shell gas station chilling waiting we grabbed  

kind of like the equivalent of the gas station's  Egg McMuffin I suppose you could say had some  

breakfast and we went in there and we asked for  like so where's the bus coming they're like yeah  

yeah it's listening to this general area you  know so we're just kind of keeping our eyes  

open like yeah it is the boss and we do not  if we miss it we're we're totally uh Sol so  

yeah we're just keeping our eyes peeled and  so long as we make that connection we're all  

good we're all good we're all good so  yeah this is going to be an adventure  

we've got a long travel day ahead of us but  if you're invited to come along yes indeed

foreign

thank you

well guys we have made it to the airport  hello didn't you find that the bus ride  

went pretty fast like yeah I don't know what it  was it's just maybe we haven't been on a trip  

in a while and uh it went so quick I think  also the nice scenery like prairies golden  

prairies because it is Autumn so yeah it was  a good ride now we're just walking over to the  

international terminal because we got dropped  off at the domestic one and we are hungry we  

are so ready for lunch so I thought I could  talk about before we grab lunch talk about  

some of the animals we've been spotting on various  outings so today we saw two coyotes start across  

the road then when you picked up groceries the  other day you saw what what did I see I forgot

we saw a field full of Bison like probably  over 100 bison so that was really cool  

every time we go out we don't know where  we're going to encounter you're gonna find  

we've seen boots near the property you're the  only one that's seen the Bears yeah so far but  

um lots of interesting Wildlife encounters

so what are you having for lunch Sam I am having  the assumable so that's the extra large version  

of the beef bowl the beef teriyaki this is a  called Edo Japan and they used to have this in  

the when I was in the University of Edmonton I  lived in the hub Mall student housing apartments  

on campus and I would go eat this probably about  once a week so this is a trip down memory lane I'm  

so excited to be having it again cool and I went  for the ramen Bowl beef ramen wait spice then we  

also got Sushi to share some sushi with salmon and  avocado no cucumbers it's better than I expected  

I was actually thinking we'd probably eat at Tim  Hortons there is one here but this is to be able  

to have a Japanese food that's just totally  awesome it looks great so good yum yum yum

we ate some food work finalizing the  tour in Patagonia kind of nervous oh  

what's this airplane wheel airplane wheel  look airplane wheel how exciting you know  

and used by the most random things we want  to show you the Calgary Stampede mural

huge

Samuel what is the good news  update there's nobody here

that's always so so nice on  a long flight I think we got  

lucky I don't see anyone else coming so good news

foreign

all right guys we made it we are at Frankfurt  airport so jet-lagged that I was telling Sam  

okay let's go through baggage check let's go  collect our luggage we are traveling carry on  

only there is nothing to collect so instead since  we have a little bit of time hey we stopped for  

food we're going for the good stuff right away  I can't believe it but I've somehow found some  

good reversed and Fries take a look down here take  a look down there I don't know how you're having  

this it's like 4 AM 10 at a time no it's actually  only three only three how is your body asking me  

first oh I'm always ready for food Audrey you know  what I I've been I've been awake now for what like  

almost two hours so I'm ready to eat all right  well try your sausage there's bread forever fries

sausage

it's just that sauce it's so good oh it's  got so much curry powder I know but it's  

got so much Tang and it's the quality  of the sausages over here all right I  

don't get that very often back home to  refresh he got this Betsy spreadsheet  

oh let's crack that open so welcome  to Germany I do taste that orange

well guys here we are at the train station still  in Frankfort like three hours later and boy do you  

have a story to tell I've had the most distressful  well actually everything turned out okay but yeah  

a rough start to the trip because I was just so  sleepy so drowsy that I didn't check the pocket  

in the front seat where I had put my phone when  we got off the plane I checked Sam's I checked  

the middle one and I didn't check mine because I'm  like no I never forget that that's like everything  

that we need for this trip that's itinerary the  contact numbers email everything like so we lose  

that we're yeah I mean we could have figured  something out but it would have been really  

really challenging oh my gosh but yeah I'm still  calming down from that because I've been running  

all over the air at the airport and have also  been running all over the airport because the  

thing is our plane didn't even Park like on a  sleeve that's right it was like in the middle  

of an airplane a parking lot and like once  everyone got off they closed the place two  

thumbs up for great customer service oh yeah  in that regard and then the other thing too  

is just like you could be traveling for I mean  we've been traveling for well over 10 years we  

lose stuff guys we do all the rookie mistakes  it's just a reminder that you need to have like  

checklists when you get up and you go somewhere  double triple quadruple check to see you have  

everything because we've left everything from  phones to Chargers I left an eye uh this is way  

back in the day when iPods were a thing I left  an iPod in the sleeve of uh of a seat in on a  

Boston Cambodia and I've I've left my passport  in the toilet oh wow okay that takes the cake

there's no excuse for that one but yeah all's  well that ends well and I think it's just a  

reminder as well to listen to that little  voice that tells you just check it on you  

just check one more time one more time I mean  sometimes we quadruple check before we with  

our passports before we go on an international  trip we're like sure you got it sure you got  

it is it there is it there it's you know it  seems neurotic but if it prevents something  

like this oh it's so worth it and we're barely  making our train fight oh yeah we had to run  

we've been sprinting yeah we're so lucky our  train was leaving a few hours after we landed  

so what a way to start this trip in  Germany hey it's an adventure already

foreign

alrighty guys so we have made it to our  accommodations for the night that means  

that concludes the journey door to door it  is now 6 30 p.m local time in Germany we are  

pretty exhausted Sam is upstairs having a  nap we're singing These really cool cabins  

we're going to show you later and I just  really really need a shower before we go  

out to dinner tonight because it's been a long  travel day as you saw car ride bus ride flight  

train train taxi my goodness Samuel does that  not sound tiring thunderstorm thunderstorms

so yeah that's the little update  we're gonna take you out to dinner  

at the same hotel that we're staying  and yeah the adventures begin tomorrow  

the real travel Vlogs so we can't  wait to share that with you guys

good morning so we are wrapping up this video  because we are all packed up leaving this  

accommodation feeling slightly more rested the  rain has followed us we have brought the rain  

we've been told apparently yeah we brought the  rain and we could see it coming because as we  

were traveling by train it's like we were escaping  it slightly and then it eventually came to exactly  

where we were yeah so yeah we brought the rain  but we thought we would end this in a positive  

note yes um kind of talking about actually  is it positive talking about how travel is  

essentially just non-stop problem solving on  the go yeah I mean let's let's just start off  

with the the low-hanging fruit here so you  accidentally left your phone in the sleeve  

yesterday I cannot believe that happened and I we  got so lucky that we had about over three hours  

until we need to catch our train yeah because  you needed about two hours and 45 minutes of  

those to get it back yeah to get it back but  fortunately we did we stayed calm both of us  

um solution oriented that's kind of the only  thing you can do when you when you have these  

snags on the road I mean over the years we've  had everything I remember when my dad's passport  

expired and we were in Thailand and we had to  think on our toes and send them to the Embassy  

and he had to get like a temporary uh was it a  white one or something yeah that's that expression  

like travel is glamorous only in retrospect and  it's very much so and just like a few examples  

of like little hiccups yesterday one of the trains  we were meant to catch arrived late so we missed  

our connection so then we've had to figure out  like how are we getting to our destination we  

had to find a different route ask for help then  that train kind of ended abruptly and it's like  

we're still not at our destination we had to  figure out okay which train continues onwards  

and then we got to the train station and we were  supposed to grab a taxi and there are no taxis  

there so we literally had to go into businesses  with my broken German asking if somebody could  

call a taxi for us there was a nice enough local  who did a nice local who did yeah but I would  

say travel can be very humbling you have to ask  for help a lot you do and just be kind people  

should be kind be patient be solution oriented  and that's those are the three tips really  

um and also expect some jet lag we're feeling  quite good to be honest we did have a nice rest  

and I think our taxi is coming so we will wrap  it up here and see you in the next video bye
