Via Ferrata 2000ft above Lauterbrunnen valley, Swiss Alps!
“Via Ferrata” or The Iron Way in English is an extreme hike which takes you to places only experienced alpine mountaineers would ever be able to find themselves.

White water rafting in the glacial waters of Jungfrau, Swiss alps
White Water Rafting, it had been on our bucket list for some time, but in all honesty as much as we wanted to give it a try we didn’t really know what to expect. We thought that maybe being on such a big raft it would be fun but a little tame, so with that

A long weekend in Basel – Switzerland on a budget!
Switzerland had long been on my list of countries I was desperate. I had however come across a fellow bloggers article on Basel and it really got under my skin.

Reflections on my first time travelling solo
No need to worry. The Roaming Renegades as a travelling pair are still going strong, but circumstances came about which resulted in me (Nic) taking a solo trip over to Switzerland for a long weekend.

Basel to Lucerne (and how to travel for half price in Switzerland!)
Travelling by train in Switzerland as you can imagine is quite a straight forward and pleasant experience. The trains run on time and booking a ticket is painless…apart from the fares!
