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.

Sometimes your voice reminds of that sports commentator.
Do you know his name?
everytime tom gets in cold water he makes monkey sounds, ROFLMAO
You're right I do! I must be a lot closer to a primate than your average person..
The shots you got for the canyon swimming adventure are superb! Why didn't they use it?!
God knows... maybe the 4:3 ratio haha
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!
Do it man! nothing stopping you. Oh wait...
Switzerland is the fucking best man
This video had me crying, god bless
tears of joy and laughter I hope Sam, take care!
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
Haha he really did struggle up that hill. I hope he's still alive. Thanks Lucas, you're welcome!
Your adventures always astonish me. The canyon diving was such a score! Loved the video Tom!
Thanks Gabe! it astonished me too!
Tom you always seem to find the nicest places. Got me inspired to travel Europe asap
Let's hope this blows over so you can get out there mate!
This is turning into Tom’s signature quote - “who’s passion for ... almost reduced ... to tears” 😉😂
No it's saying "Ciao" to anyone no matter the language 🤣
Michael palin wishes he could make travel documentaries as good as you
To be fair he is a bit old for boozing and canyoning ;)
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!
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!
