I went for a quiet drink in a sleepy Swiss town.....

#5 in the Barcelona to Berlin throwback series from the summer of 2016.  

A quiet beer in a sleepy Swiss town takes an unexpected turn which ultimately leads to a choir chanting my name and a canyoning expedition in one of Europe's most breathtaking gorges.

Drink sensibly kids.

tom davies

You're right I do! I must be a lot closer to a primate than your average person..

tom davies

God knows... maybe the 4:3 ratio haha

tom davies

Do it man! nothing stopping you. Oh wait...

tom davies

Imagine doing Switzerland in a straight line...nah!

Sometimes your voice reminds of that sports commentator.

Josette Reynolds

everytime tom gets in cold water he makes monkey sounds, ROFLMAO

Jennifer Partlow

The shots you got for the canyon swimming adventure are superb! Why didn't they use it?!

Thomas Magor

Mate, these videos give me a new form of hope and trust in life. I just need to get out there. Keep up the amazing work!

Juliana

Switzerland is the fucking best man

Craig Blackhall

tears of joy and laughter I hope Sam, take care!

tom davies

Haha he really did struggle up that hill. I hope he's still alive. Thanks Lucas, you're welcome!

tom davies

Thanks Gabe! it astonished me too!

tom davies

Let's hope this blows over so you can get out there mate!

tom davies

To be fair he is a bit old for boozing and canyoning ;)

tom davies

Haha I really don't know how that happened. Check out my comment above to Robert to answer your first question ^^ ...I aim to make a few videos where I'm telling stories about previous trips whilst walking through the countryside. There must be a few I can use from this trip. There wasn't enough of a point, a reason or rhyme to this trip unfortunately, although I had wanted it to include as many modes of transport as possible originally. I just hadn't got my act together enough at the time! No no Greg didnt need any convincing! he's always up for an adventure!

tom davies

Good question Robert. I had planned to make a series out of this trip and upload it to YouTube. I had 15 hours of footage, some of it good, some of it lacking in quality and stories. I also wasn't happy with my narration. I was often hungover and lacked the willpower or confidence to do daring things and interact with people. On top of this, I had full time jobs and editing it all up would have taken months and months, and I didn't feel it was worth while. Only now have a looked back through the footage and decided that actually, a lot of it is salvageable and there are some good stories here! This one needed a bit of narration to explain what was going on though. Thanks Robert!

tom davies

This video had me crying, god bless

Gas Pack Man

Anyone else crack up at the 6:37 mark with the "almost had a heart attack, but pulled through" line? Or was it only me haha. Thanks for the upload Tom :D

Lucas Chamberlain

Your adventures always astonish me. The canyon diving was such a score! Loved the video Tom!

Gabe Whittaker

Tom you always seem to find the nicest places. Got me inspired to travel Europe asap

Warwick Manning

No it's saying "Ciao" to anyone no matter the language 🤣

CJ Meyer

This is turning into Tom’s signature quote - “who’s passion for ... almost reduced ... to tears” 😉😂

Elliot Smith

Michael palin wishes he could make travel documentaries as good as you

Shaun saunders

Legend having your name sung in a beer hall. Was this never posted because main content involving GeoGuessr or meant for another channel originally? Would love a BTS vidéo talking about the trip, reason, concept etc. assuming this is how you convinced Greg to hitchhike Europe lol, you’d done it once

Danny Randell

What were you filming all these videos for Tom, just for your mates or have you mapped out your life so well you knew that one day they could be used as patreon incentives! Cheers!
