Hey guys, oh my, we're so sorry to hear about Mahpiya 😢 What a beautiful cat he was, he looked like the absolute king of everything, in photos and in real life. You've really had it tough lately and I'm glad you're on your way to brighter adventures, where your babies will always be with you in spirit ❤️ Hopefully the new sights and experiences will help you heal along the way. In regards to where you did go this week, aah we went to Allerheiligen too and loved it, albeit under entirely different weather circumstances! We did a circular route that took us high up through the forest with immense views on the way back, but with all that and waterfalls and ruins, it had a lot going for it. Parking in Germany is interesting. We of course find it easier being smaller, but while it's better than the UK, it's considerably harder than France/Spain. Definitely doable though and if you return you will find spots here and there, just not so many as elsewhere. Those falls at the end! Unbelievable, not as unbelievable as that parking price 😂 No wonder you hot-footed it out of there. Safe travels guys, and may it be said what a perfect tribute to Mahpiya we thought that was at the end ❤ Beautiful. Condolences to you both and much love on your travels ❤🤟

[@findingxanadulife]

Thanks guys. As much as our faces didn't look like it, we loved all of this week's visits. We are just concentrating on the beauty. Much love. 😘💜🤟

Amazing and inspiring how you keep going and creating wonderful video's for us at home (me at least). Looking forward to your vlog on this 2 year trip (and more after that of course)

[@findingxanadulife]

Thanks Towah. Thankfully Darren and I have each other and we keep each other going. We're so glad that you still enjoy the videos, even when we have faces like a slapped @rse. 🥴 Next week's video, we cross the first place off our Bucket List. 😘 Thanks so much for your constant support. Much love 😘🥰💜🤟

[@arcticfox50]

Nice to see you back on the road🥰🥰 Those last two stops were amazing - that waterfall was so powerful looking can't wait to see what is to come

[@findingxanadulife]

Thank-you Paulette. 😘💜🤟

[@steven-ms2bc]

Thanks for sharing and happy times ahead! Cheers

[@findingxanadulife]

Thank-you Steven. 💜🤟

[@Katubemeow]

The waterfall was beautiful so much force. 💦

[@findingxanadulife]

It was insane Kat. You wouldn't have wanted to fall in. Incredible power. 🤯💜🤟

[@matthewparrott7841]

So so sorry to hear about your furbaby ... completely heartbreaking I know ... and with the other two losses in your life recently it is so hard. Sending hugs ❤❤❤

[@findingxanadulife]

Thank-you. Sleeping will always be strange without him sleeping on my pillow, snoring in my face and tickling me with his whiskers. Much love 😘💜🤟

[@AlwaysAway]

We just found your channel and loving your videos. Sorry to hear about your loss, and we know how it feels after losing our dog in April. Life hasn’t felt the same since. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures

[@findingxanadulife]

Hey guys, We're sorry for your loss also. They leave such a huge gap behind, don't they..?!? Losing 2 very much loved furfamily members and a parent in such a short space of time was mind-blowing for us. We're still reeling, but trying to throw ourselves into beautiful places to keep our minds from it and our 'empty nest syndrome'. Thanks for reaching out and glad you like the videos. So happy to have you along for the adventures..! Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟

[@elainebramson7042]

First and foremost, I am sooo sorry about youre baby! Things have been so hard and sad for you for a while now. As hard as it is we need to keep all.the loving and happy memories in our heart. Love the Bavarian village ruins. I can picture stained glass windows in those arches! I bet Germany is very expensive it always has been. Then the huge finale!!! Holy cow!!!! Those waterfalls in Switzerlans were out of this world! Wow!!! 42€ for 1 hr parking? That was a spectacular end! Alison, you need to recover from your cold! 😢 crazy temps to be touristing 🙊🙈 i admire you for that. Soup perfect for a cold day-looked good! Stay safe in your travels 🙏

[@findingxanadulife]

Thanks Elaine. The world is just that little bit darker without him. I hand reared Mahpiya from birth and he slept on my pillow or in my arms every night. I'm hoping that I soon get used to him not taking up all the bed anymore. Germany was lovely. Really clean and actually not as expensive as we thought. The power of the water at the Rhine Falls was like nothing we've ever seen before. Next week's video ticks off the first Bucket list venue for us, so stick with us. Much love.😘💜🤟

[@elainebramson7042]

@findingxanadulif It will take a while but I understand our two king Charles slept with us since born and when they both died in Panama a few months apart it was horrible. It did take a while and then our golden retriever died a few months after and it was like many 18 wheelers had run over us for a long time. You mourn them as you would a human. Well, at least i think so. That's just us. Our current mini schnauzer is 10, no idea what we'll go through when she goes. The Rhine Falls were amazing. We have not been to Victoria Falls or other famous ones. We've been to Niagara Falls on Canadian side. Much better than US side 🤷‍♀️ no idea why that is. We took boat that goes right up to them. It was impressive, not sure if speed was like the Rhine. We want to travel tgrough africa and probably catch some there. Want a safari. So.much on bucket list.

[@findingxanadulife]

I remember you saying about your 3 babies and the 18 wheeler description is fairly accurate for how we feel. The Rhine Falls were definitely the largest and most powerful we've ever seen, also not sure how they compare to Niagara or Victoria though. We would love to Safari in Africa, but I'm pretty sure I would get eaten, trying to pet a big cat..! 🤣🤣🤣💜🤟

[@elainebramson7042]

@findingxanadulife you are too funny! BUT you're an animal lover, you'd be in your element! 😂

[@findingxanadulife]

😬😘💜🤟

[@celinesanders1561]

It’s been a tough few weeks but we were glad to see you back home. Maphiya is safe and waiting for you here xx

[@findingxanadulife]

It's been rotten, but it was lovely to spend some time with you guys. Thank-you so much for collecting his ashes for us and babysitting them until we get back. Love you guys. 😘🥰xx💜🤟

[@minejahaj4728]

just found ur guys camper in Berat Albania!!

[@findingxanadulife]

Hi there, you should have come to say hello. 😬 Are you local..? Or passing through..?!? 💜🤟

[@HeidiPriest]

Warts and all is what makes you, 99% of us are animal lovers and know the Pain of losing them, you right about being a Sh!t time, but we all along with you ❤, oh My country men and woman can be grumpy indeed, but there are more good then bad, 🥰 Guten Tag und schüss❤

[@findingxanadulife]

Hey Heidi, We didn't know you were German. We adored your country and will hopefully be doing a longer tour after Perse has her inspection in Spain, in September 2026. My (Alison's) first bucket list place that we have visited, is in Germany. *Spoiler alert* You will see that in next week's video. 😘💜🤟
