... back, sprawling on one of the bean bags. "I don't think your boyfriend liked us too much" he said to Elli who was shrugging off her coat as she bucked up in the driver's seat. "No, he does," Elli replied, "Ahti is just... I don't know if it's the right word in English... intense?" "Yeah, good word," Jay said from behind. Happy that was settled, Elli started up the van and began the drive northwards. Chapter Two: They left the hotel just after two in the afternoon. The drive itself taking over two hours. This meant that the sun had set almost an hour before Elli pulled the van into a small village, parking up near a restaurant. "I figured we could go in, get something warm to eat, use the bathroom, then after head to where we'll be parking for the day," Elli explained. "Food and a toilet break sound good to me," Jay agreed, pulling on his coat as did Deke.

Deke opened up the camera reel on his phone scrolling through pictures he had saved from their trip. Elli did notice that the two men had made a habit of teaming up exclusively with female YouTubers on their holiday in Europe. She supposed it made sense, appealing to a different grouping that they would normally reach, wasn't that why she had agreed to this cross over challenge. After the break from the van, the three travellers returned to the VW campervan, Elli driving a mile outside of the village before pulling off the main road and down a smaller track that led to the lake. The snow was deeper here and she drove cautiously. She was no novice when it came to driving in bad weather conditions, as the daughter of a mechanic she had learnt to drive at an early age. Still, the old VW wasn't designed for off road or icy conditions so she took it easy. Finally, they reached their destination and she brought ...
