    Would you have paid the €50 parking for the day or walked the 30 minutes in from the cheaper (and in this case free) parking?? What did you think of Bonifacio? Pretty as it was, we feel a bit touristed out by it! Who is excited for Sardinia??? Lots of Love Courts & Meeks 🧡🧡

    You should try Greece, diesel is very expensive at the moment 😢!

    I am so glad you have Sartene to hold onto as a final memory of Corsica - the port served as a port and needs no more attention than that! Steady on with the sugar, though Courts! The cost of everything - EVERYTHING - is going up I'm afraid... YAM xx

    • @courtsandmeeks
      @courtsandmeeks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Us too Yam! Sartene had such a local charm about it and it really captured our hearts a little bit. Watching the locals go about their morning routine, espressos in the square and chatting in the streets. Glad we could share our experience of Bonifacio though as it's one of the internet's 'top places to go on the island!'. We beg to differ!! Hope you're having a great week 🧡

    Just announced in news today that Asda have quietly dropped fuels prices by 5p, I paid 1:55L for unleaded Monday this week from an independent station…. You two are refreshingly different happy Christmas from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 x

    • @courtsandmeeks
      @courtsandmeeks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ooo nice one Steven - that's a win! Crazy to think that 1:55 is considered cheap nowadays but that's life i guess. We're looking forward to the cheap diesel in Tunisia from tomorrow! Hope you will stick around for that series over the next few months!

    Sadly you will always find tourist traps are expensive, you have the right idea of traveling out of season.
    As a former full time carer of a family member (sadly passed away) with diabetes I am a little concerned about Courts sugar high and would get a check done on her blood sugar levels when you can one of the symptoms is acting drunk and a alcohol smell, as a temporary measure I recommend keeping the sugar intake down hopefully it is nothing but get a check done for piece of mind.
    Your comment about the price of diesel in the UK Sadly yes it is going back up at the moment looking at three place's in Stevenage Costco is 174.7 Asda local (used to be Esso) 183.9 and Tesco's 186.9 a litre.
    Stay safe looking forward to the next vlog

      Morning Mark - Sorry to hear about your family member passing away, that's very sad. Don't worry i'm pretty certain it was just a sugar high/crash after eating a whole bag of sour sweets which i rarely ever do! My body was like "what is this you've given me!?" I really do appreciate your concern though. I'll be sure to keep my sweet treats in check! Just watched a documentary on Netflix called Explained about the role sugar plays in our bodies and it was super interesting.
      Good to know on the price of deisel - definitely seems like Costco is the place to be. We've never had a costco card so maybe we'll look at getting one when we're back in the UK if prices are still high. Enjoy your Thursday!

    Your opinion of Bonifacio is spot on. I remember it 30 years ago when it was such a simple place with lots of artisans. It was beautiful. Looking forward to hearing what you think of Sardinia. The only island I have not visited in the Med. Thanks for your Vlogs.

    • @courtsandmeeks
      @courtsandmeeks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Shame it wasn't how you remember it 30 years ago Linda! Little artisan shops and authenticity wouldn't have gone amiss. Hopefully we can help inspire you to tick off that last place in the med with the Sardinia vlogs!

    Diesel has gone up as of last week here in Morpeth Northumberland.
    £1.77 now back to £1.94

      Thank you Steven! Glad you're liking the music, we're trying a new provider for the music and it seems so much better! Yeah we thought it was a good idea to say how we felt about the place proper rather than just chalk it up as another pretty place. Wow that is a LOT for diesel! You must live up my (Meeks) way, originally from Berwick upon Tweed!! Hope all is well up in the NORTH!

    Great Vlog from you both again. Very expensive down there. I'd have done the same and walked by and made a jam sandwich back at the van haha.
    Looking forward to Sardinia as that is where we were thinking of going to but haven't been yet 🙂. Take care!

    • @courtsandmeeks
      @courtsandmeeks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Steve, glad you liked it! Oh a jam sandwich!!!! I've not had one of them in YEARS! Might have to pick up some jam at the next shop now!
      Oh that is cool, hopefully we can do it justice then! We've been here a few days now and so far it is very nice, bigger than Corsica and seems to be more parkups but there is a lot more rubbish - which is kind of like Southern Italy, such a shame.
      Hope you have a great week!!!

      Yeah totally, such an expensive place but still really tempting to get drawn in! Was a really pretty town but the first one was probably better and more up our street! Yep onto Sardinia now, really excited to see how it is different and if we can afford a starter here or not! haha! Take care Linda, lovely to hear from you as always! See you on the next one ❤

    Hi Guys,
    We really think you should lay off the sugar Courtney, you seemed a little high especially on the Sardinia ferry 😅🤣...We've been to Sardinia 3 times but not for pleasure, we went over with my truck for work delivering & collecting cars, also when we boarded the ferry in Sardinia for Italy Angie had to walk on to the ship & meet me on board, very strange...
    Anyway guys, thanks for another very entertaining episode & we look forward to seeing Sardinia again...
    Take Care

      Haha Courts has finally come down from her sugar high! Was a very hyper afternoon from her but thankfully she doesn't binge on sweets very often! Ah that is god to know, it is so strange, I can't really see what difference it makes to anyone but hey ho!
      Hopefully we can show you some nice bits of Sardinia, it is cool you've been there before, even if it was just for work - collecting cars sounds like awesome fun!
      Hope you're both well guys ❤
