Our van becomes an alpine chalet in this episode as we camp out in Chamonix and wake up in this busy, beautiful ski town. We haven't spent much on this trip so far and today we decide to splash out on an expensive gondola ride up to 3842m high to see views of Mont Blanc. Was it worth it?! We "step into the void", a glass box with a 1000m drop straight down into the mountains below. We then drive onto Italy and get a surprise when paying for the toll road through the Mont Blanc tunnel. We show you our new toy that should solve our problems with not having reliable internet on the road. After we cross into Italy we reach an exciting milestone on this channel, 50k subscribers! Thank you so much! Stay tuned for our first vlog in Italy next Sunday!

If you're new here, we're Tom and Iz, a couple who have been living in a van for the last four years. We've explored Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Romania and the UK in our little home on wheels, our Ford transit van named La Bamba. If you missed any of these series you can check them out in our playlists. We recently got back from a 10 week trip to Nepal (without the van), trekking in the Himalayas. Watch here: [ Ссылка ]

After that we did an Epic UK Van Life series where we pushed ourselves to our limits in the great British winter. Watch here: [ Ссылка ]
We wanted to make the most of the UK winter and enjoy it's beauty. Now we are traveling as far south as we can in our van, come and join us each week :)
