Elizabeth here.
Kevin of Team Extreme and I teamed up for the second part of Competitours. In Paris our last night, were asked by fellow Competitourists – what was the most memorable adventure we had. Kevin and I had some fantastic adventures, but this one is a keeper for both of us – and we got it on video.
Savvy travelers Kevin and Elizabeth end up beyond the end-of-the-line, when so engrossed in our plotting on how to get to Antwerp for the XYZ challenge (yes, the XYZ challenge was actually in Namur, doh,) we missed the last stop for the transfer to the Atomium and ended up stuck in a train yard tunnel. The Atomium was a challenge we were doing just for fun because we wanted to see it since it had recently been restored. Despite missed transfers, Atomuum was worth the views, but then quickly back to the midi station in Brussels to catch the train to Antwerp – good thing we ran in to Hugos in the Atomium station, who told us XYZ was in Namur, not outside Antwerp. LOL; yep, we be savvy travelers. Listen until the end…
When having too much fun chatting, the whole navigating thing goes right out the window, doesn’t it?
Glad you captured it on video. Good thinking!
