A friend and I wanted to backpack through the UK, and we kind of had the funny idea of doing it before Brexit actually took place. The idea was that we would see the UK before Brexit and then come back a few years after Brexit to see if it had turned into a utopia or the next installment of Mad Max.
I had made an open Facebook post indicating my plans, and it so happened that some of my family in the US took me up on the offer. Things worked out so that I would meet up with my family as well as spending some time with my friend as we toured through the UK.
As the time came to leave, I took the overnight bus to London from Cologne.
It’s hard to make out, but this is the train that our bus drove into so it could drive under the English Channel
My dad, stepmom, and two of my brothers flew into London and were already at our air B&B. This is our reunion photo.
