Should I delete the comma after the word "trip", or the sentence is good like this?

We were lost, and at the beggining of the trip, we had thought that we wouldn't get allured by the nature's beauty, and that we wouldn't stray from the road.

The flow or balance of the sentence isn't very good. I suggest this: At the be g i nn ing of the trip[,] we had thought that we wouldn't get allured by the nature's beauty, and that we wouldn't stray from the road, but now we were lost. The first comma is optional.
