- Yet another stressful border crossing. In todays video we are finally leaving Croatia after two very eventful months here! There is a lot of anxiety related to crossing borders with ever changing restrictions during the ongoing pandemic, but this border surprised us, it didn't care about tests, but it wanted papers, papers that we thought we had accidentally left in Ireland.
We also explore the very charming city of Novi Sad just over the border in Serbia. First impressions of Serbia are very positive, and it is super cheap to eat out! Fingers crossed we can keep finding more vegan spots for ourselves.
Banana French Toast
ingredients
1 slightly old banana
about half a cup of milk give or take
cinnamon
vanilla essence
thick white bread
mash the banana until smooth, no lumps
add milk a bit at a time until it gets to the consistency of like a pancake batter. not too runny, but not so thick that it doesn't soak into the bread
add sprinkle of cinnamon and a couple drops of vanilla to the banana batter
cut the bread into nice thick slices
heat a pan with butter
dip and turn bread in the banana mix until soaked in and fully coated
fry in the hot buttery pan on both sides about 3-5 mins, don't flip too soon let it get caramelized before first flip
serve with agave and berries or whatever you desire, chocolate spread, banana, jam, seeds etc
ENJOY

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. So after waiting for six months for the borders to reopen in Ireland we have finally hit the road in June 2021 and spent 90 days enjoying van life in Spain. Now we have just finished our time in the very beautiful Spain and have arrived safely in Croatia for the next leg of our journey.

Hey everyone! Thankyou so much for watching our video, we are so happy to be in Serbia. If you enjoy this video please consider subscribing and joining us on our future adventures 🥰
Thanks for the lovely video 🧡 that banana French toast looked amazing 👏 I would be crapping myself to keely. That mist was beautiful 😍 Every time philly makes coffee now I'm waiting for it to attack him lol
Well done on getting to Serbia!!!.x
Thanks Michelle 🥰
Oh Keely. My heart was in my mouth for you at the border. Happy ye made it through and enjoyed the city 🙌
Thanks Denise, was such a relief to finally get through 🥰🥰
Below the fortress are underground passages over 20 kilometers long, some leading below the Danube. Ghosts were filmed in those underground passages. Ask for a tourist tour under the fortress (it is done in groups, individually. . . with guides).
That's soo good to know!! Sounds really interesting and fun to do. We will add that to our recommendation list for a future visit 🥰 definitely need to look into more of these interesting things to do in cities in the future, we tend to just walk about, but think tours would be so good
Keep your papers in order when traveling outside EU/Schengen Area. Too many stolen cars and stuff is going through those borders, that is why they ask for the documents. No need to be afraid, they are just doing their job.
Yeah, good to know they are checking that people actually own their vehicles. Back in Ireland they usually recommend you don't keep V5 in the vehicle incase it's stolen easy for people to change ownership with document, so we are adjusting to the fact that we are actually meant to have it with us 🤣 Now we have our documents available together for future, making us more organised haha
@@phillyandkeely Yeah I know, it is not easy, it's different rules in every country. Here in Sweden you have a Blue and a Yellow paper :) The Yellow you keep in your car and the blue one at home. I've travelled in the Balkans a lot with car so I'm familiar with their procedures. Nice channel btw :)
Thankyou so much 🥰🥰 if you have any recommendations for Serbia or Bulgaria from your travels feel free to send them our way ☺️☺️
You guys always have the most eventful border crossings! I had my fingers crossed that you found the V5! 😬
Yeah we really thought we had accidentally left it in Ireland, so all ready to turn around and get it posted to us somewhere in Croatia 🤣🤣 thank goodness we found it!
Hi guys
We saw you on over landing Sophie and have just started to watch some of your own content . Which is fantastic . Xx
Thanks so much for watching and those kind words. We love Chesca and Ben so much 🥰 we have absolutely loved spending time with them!!
I really enjoy going on digital vacations, living bi-curiously through you two. 😮😅😊
I know that anxious feeling, my Ex was turned away from the France border as an American at the start of covid, then we tried again and they waved us through without checking the passports. The whole 3 months we were in Europe we hated the idea of crossing a border incase she was detained for sneaking in! we always found being prepared helped. Passports, V5, green card and insurance docs in one folder and just hand it over. Let the border guard worry about what they needs to see.
That's a good idea about having it all together. We are a bit concerned about re-entering the rest of the EU because they didn't stamp on our way out so it looks like weve over stayed our visa by two months 🤣🤣🤞🤞 the accept receipts and GPS etc to prove we weren't there lol
Keely is adorable ❤ you’re ok too Philly 😊 love this channel 🎉
Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰
Wooooo you made it!!! Not somewhere I ever thought about travelling to be honest but it looks gorgeous 😊
It is surprising us so much, just got great atmosphere
Good job you found the V5 🤣🤣 looking forward to seeing more Serbia
I know right!! 🤣🤣
I am allowed to feel philly! 🤣
😂😂😂
I found you guy's via a recommendation to watch your Halloween video........ what a treat that turned out to be. Lovely, engaging and funny...... what more could you ask for.
Definitely a subscriber from this day on xx

That border was STRESSFUL 😂😂the man scared me through the screen 😂
🤣🤣
9:55 it translation it is RECALIBRATION.
About food.
My recomendation is to try INDEX SANDWITCH in Novi Sad.
Also try BANJALUČKI ĆEVAP, the same name of restaurant,
corner of the street of JEVREJSKE and GAJEVE.
Ask locals where is it.
That's so good to know about the name 🥰🥰 thankyou so much for your recommendations, there are so many delicious places in the city so far! We have really enjoyed it. We will definitely add these to are recommendation list for future ❤️❤️
And thankyou for your other message, TH-cam removed it automatically because it had links, but I can still see it in my emails 🥰
Ti uvek voliš da pomogneš.👍
We are back in Serbia this week and going to check out your food recommendation in NoviSad, thankyou 🥰
Interesting, many thanks for the video :)
Thanks so much for watching , 🥰
There are so many foreigners in Novi Sad. Surprised you concluded different. Some even decided to relocate there. And, some even got citizenship. Check TH-cam.
That's so cool that people can get citizenship in Serbia, getting increasingly difficult in EU since Brexit. Perhaps we were just out of season, haven't seen another British person here yet. Will have to look into citizenship some more, we love it here 🥰
@@phillyandkeely I just said, obviously, did not recomend it. And, right, you are out of the season, and weather that day was not nice.
@@anastan835 We are used to this type of weather from UK 🤣 so we still enjoyed it 🥰🥰
You two are so lucky🌏🌅🚙🚙
Im happy you enjoyed my country..
We absolutely love your country!!!
Keely you are a great cook👅🤷♀️
🥳🤠🤯👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
🎉🤩 my favourite peeps
And you xx
Welcome too serbia
Thankyou Dejan :)
Welcome 🍻
Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰
Great video, I can’t find the link to the recipe for the banana toast x
That's because I'm an idiot and forgot to add the recipe. I've put it in the description now, hopefully my descriptions make sense 🤣🤣🤣
Do you see men 6ft8+ tall in Serbia?I hear there are many?
Funny enough, we were just talking yesterday about how many crazy tall people there are!! We started to notice it in North Croatia and even more here in Serbia!!
@@phillyandkeely Oh thats funny. How tall have you seen??
Well over 6ft 8, now I've just spent the last half hour in a rabbit hole looking up why they are so tall lmao apparently Montenegro also has lots of tall men. Who knew 🤣🤣 Learn something new everyday lol
@@phillyandkeely wow thats crazy.. look forward to visiting some day to see for myself! How tall was the tallest guy you saw would you say? Serbs gotta start selling their dna.. lo!! Take some videos of them on the vlog!
Balkan people are tall for some reason - it may have something to do with the ancient "I" male haplogroup which about 30% Serbs have. This haplogroup is also found a lot in Scandinavians. There are short too but on average they are a tall people.
Hi Phil Keely ,you sure did get in a panic at the border like you say paper work after paper work,glad you got through ok ,it looks pretty wet there to are you allowed to wild camp or do you have to go to proper places to park up for the night ,interesting blog be looking out for the next one ,till next time take care keep safe drive careful, John 🌹🍻🙏😂🥂☔️☔️🚓🚓
Hey John ☺️ Thanks for watching. Serbia seems very wild and free when it comes to park ups. One of the reasons we loved it so much, we felt totally free there it was wonderful.
Who could resist ye and stop ye for coming in🙂
if you ever want ti visit serbia get in touch.i am from huntingdon but i live in serbia
Awesome!! We are hoping to come back to Serbia again in Summer, we absolutely love it! Where abouts have you settled in Serbia?
Huntingdon UK?
5:58 hahahaha that was good
Glad you thought so 🥰🥰🥰
Well half my comment sent . I was trying to say I do like beanie time because Keely wears her hair down . Your the only couple I know that the man wears his hair down more then the female . Hopefully it quit raining . Have a great day Scooby .
🤣🤣 my wee sister says I wear my hair up too much too. It's hot weather I prefer to wear it up. In the cold I tend to wear it down. Like a scarf made out of hair 🤣🤣
Bro come visit us in sheid
Thanks for watching, where is sheid? Our maps says nowhere haha.
@@phillyandkeely sid serbia. It's like 30 minutes from novisad. You might help by taking a short video for life inside refuges camp in principovac
Whenever we are back in Serbia in Summer we will defo come check that out, it sounds like it would be so interesting to see a glimpse into their life
@@phillyandkeely ok man save trip to home💯✋
How did you think to pass any border without your vehicle documents? EU is not the whole world.
No other border has ever asked (this was our twelfth), so we haven't needed it since we left. Thankfully we found it tucked deep in the paperwork box, so now we know to have it readily available at future borders ☺️☺️ Thanks so much for watching 🥰
For some reason your other comment has disappeared, I only got to see it for a split second. We haven't been outside the EU in the van yet, so thanks for letting us know we will need it as we carry on further East, so so glad we found it and hadn't left it at home accidentally. If you have any other advice about what it's like travelling outside the EU we would be so grateful to hear it 🥰🥰
@@phillyandkeely Serbia, and the whole Balkan, is in EU. The Schengen is not the whole Europe. This is what people do not get it.
@@anastan835 yeah in EU but not in Schengen thankfully so I can travel freely in them when my 90 days is up 🥰🥰 Im pretty sure my first experience outside of the EU will be when we cross into Turkey! Fingers crossed that border goes well lol
Tone, not good.
Please number your videos😇❣💜💙💚💫
Philly doesn't like numbering videos because he wouldn't watch them if he missed one 🤣I will have to be better at putting them I'm ordered playlists for you
guys wherever you go u need logbook.come on its common sense
Luckily we did have it with us 🥰🥰 we panicked cuz noone had asked it before and we crossed alot of borders and hadn't seen it since we left 🤣🤣 thank goodness we had it! That would have been pretty gutting to get turned around lol.
❤
🥰🥰🥰
. ( nothing to say , just 4 algorithm)
Awww thankyou so much 💗💗💗 we appreciate all the help we can get 🥰🥰🥰
BURGERS?
Very delicious vegan burgers 🤤
Worlds worst border!! Police want always money. If you give them 10-20 Euro, it takes just 20 second..
Good to know there is a way to make it go quickly haha
@@phillyandkeely I forget to say, it’s only for Turkish citizens 😂
Rubbish = trash or bad your way is fancier . Scooby I hate when someone calls me boo also . Maybe Keely doesn’t like nicknames . I know I don’t . People call me serial . Don’t like it . I do like beanie Tim me because
Just don't like certain nick names lol
