Hello :)
This episode is about Luxury Travel. This isn't a topic that comes naturally to barefoot backpackers in general, but sometimes even we put on our metaphorical shoes and drink free champagne.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
* Running Training & Rate of Percieved Exertion
* Future potential backpacking trips
* What it means to be a 'barefoot' backpacker
* Flying business class on Air Europa from South America
* Short-haul business class travel isn't really worth it
* Flying business class on Emirates from Sri Lanka is
* We need a middle ground option - like a train
* First Class on UK Trains is nothing special
* Eurostar is nice I suppose
* Business hotels
* Afternoon Tea, but not yet at the Ritz
* {bonus} Helicopter Rides over a volcano - the ultimate luxury experience
