Cheers mate, thanks for sharing your fantastic trips in Morocco. I would like to inform you that the kid didn't ask for food or money, but he asked if you had some candies. Bonbons in French. Thanks for your kindness towards people and animals. You are a great family. Enjoy your stay in 🇲🇦 Morocco.
Ohhh do you think? I thought it sounded like he was saying 'money in hand'. Thanks for tuning in. That dog was just so lovely xxx
By the way, I am Moroccan. I have been living in Norway for 34 years. I live in Bergen, the west coast. Probably you have been here.
Imlil the gate way for walkers heading up Toubkal, the highest mountain in N Africa
That was a great video, I’m thinking I would like to go touring on my motorcycle in that area, looks such a nice place
Haha yes, Ric used to have bikes and has said the same thing!
The Todra Gorge ranks among one of the best travel experiences. Thanks for taking me back there.😅
Your children are so lucky adventuring around the world. Breathtaking views every week I love your adventures. Stay safe.
They really are! Thanks for watching xx
Ciara it would be better if you turned the camera on the scenic veiws that way we get to see them.😊
Hey we do share alot of the views 😊 like the driving footage through the gorge x
Keira lol
So humbling😢...God bless you for helping these people and the doggie❤...such a beautiful part of the country..
Oh that doggie was just so beautiful 🥰🥰
I look foreword to your videos each week, I have been to Morocco.
You are giving your children amazing experiences.
Regards from Australia
Thank you so much! Big wave to Australia 🇦🇺
Woooow the mountain’s through the window 😮there huge that’s crazy at 1:42
Honestly just towered over us!
It’s crazy how big they were lol
Is that the Atlas mountains?
Morocco looks a brilliant place, what a fabulous time your kids are having xx
Loved this video so many interesting things to see and places to walk what wonderful adventures you are all having so educational for the children they are having the best times 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴❤
Thanks Helena! Glad you enjoyed this week's video x
Another amazing vlog 👍🏻 … so lovely to see your children playing with local children … what a truly wonderful experience you are giving them … I look forward to your vlogs each week so interesting and informative ❤
Their confidence has grown so much! It's been such a unique experience for them. Thanks for watching Jackie ☺️
Great Vlog amazing scenery. Great for your kids.
Thanks so much. We ALL learnt alot in these few days to be honest. And behind the scenes we did our own little lessons on palmeries
Ric: Where’s the Road?
Piper: Right in front of you, you donut!
Who’s teaching who here Ric 😂😅😂😅❤❤
Hahah brilliant 😂
Loved this week's video guys, don't listen to any negative comments, you're doing a great job, some people just like to criticise anything and everything x
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😊 can't please everyone hey x
The smile on your face when gorge driving said it all. Love the look of the community bread. Shame you all didn’t like the dates but the palm walk looked stunning. ❤✌🏼🙏🏼
Oh Ric was in his absolute ELEMENT! If you couldn't tell watching it yourself x
that is one beautiful place where your at. It’s good you can enjoy such beauty on these adventures a lifetime of memories ❤
Thanks Billie. Todra Gorge was just epic, as was the palmerie to be honest. Total contrast, but felt like we learnt so much this week.
The canon was beautifull , its so great so see a bit of Marocco this way. Have a nice week and be safe
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the experience too. It's nice being able to share it 😊❤️
It sure is ❤
How much better than this can it get. Those canyons were spectacular, Hard to imagine living there. A 4 year drought is realy tough. I lived at a town in north west NSW Australia called Moree. It was the edge of the desert in central Australia. The people seem so kind. Looking foward to next week. I would suggest taking extra water, I love dates. I make date sandwiches, 15 or so dates on 2 slices of bread. Easy meal. See you all next week
Must be so tough! 4 years is a LONG time. Not sure on the date sandwich haha 🤣
Good night everyone are you enjoying your motor home adventures with the kids I hope that you all are well and enjoying your adventures I have been watching all of you videos of you and your adventures in your motor home you make me happy and smile please keep up the good work On your videos on your you tube channel
So glad to be putting a smile on your face with the videos. And thankyou so much for watching. See you again next week 😊😊😊
Wow, what an amazing drive through that gorge, it looked awesome!. The palmary looked like a mini jungle adventure for the kids, great live band too 😀
We really loved the palmery. Such a lovely environment to walk through xx
Some amazing scenery there. Piper did a great job on her necklace 👍
Thanks Denise! It's really cool isn't it. She's after a dreamcatcher next xx
Glad you liked Camping Tissirt and also glad Ali and his family are still going strong. We stayed there in June 22 and were the only tourists he’d seen in a while due to the borders only just re-opening after Covid restrictions. We paid 260 dirhams but did get all our clothes washing done and folded plus a full evening meal with his family and children, plus a breakfast Enjoy the Sahara 🐪
Ah amazing, sounds like you had such a good time there!! We only stayed one night, but thought it was fab 😊
What a tour you gave us!
Thanks!!! Morocco makes it easy xx
Already booked for campervan campout. See you there. Great series from your build to Morroco. What an experience for your children.
Awesome! Will see you there then 😃 Thanks for watching along with us since the build
Love your channel. Your kids are wonderful. ❤
Thank you so much! Xx
I was thinking it on the last video and I definitely think it more so today. Your husband would make a great cultural historian on the tv presenting a docuseries. 💯 ❤ bless him. I love his enthusiasm and interest in it all, he definitely lights up when he is around sculptures and towns of different cultures. A right little historian lol 😅😅😊
Ahhh haha he's quite good at sharing the knowledge he learns along the way. I'm a little more forgetful 🤣🤣
I see your staying more on the non tourists routes and more the real country, all looks fantastic. Loved the valley pass, must have been great to drive and walk though. The last camp site was very cool and rustic, your definitely getting a true experience or Morocco.
We're trying to get a real good mix of the country! But you're right, we do enjoy the quieter places sometimes which feel a little more authentic x
Beautiful kind family and what amazing scenery in Morocco. Ty for the vlog 👍💚🚐👀🌿💞
Our pleasure! You're very welcome. Scenery here is incredible. Just keeps on giving x
Corruption has left these people poor. Unfortunately, our state is extremely corrupt and there is no accountability in general. Welcome to Morocco.
I lived in the Middle East for a number of years, the dates where I lived were usually eaten before we thought that they were as ripe as we expected them to be having eaten them as a Christmas item in the UK. Some of the local dates were served when they were quite hard and almost yellow. There are many different types of dates, from my experience.
Yes, we stayed with a family who had the hard yellow dates! Very different to the ones we tried here.
Love Piper's necklace bless her 🥰
She was really pleased with it. She's big into ocean life and marine animals so really special for her x
Nice content😊
Thank you so much 👍😊
Wooow the rocks is crazy at 5:12
hope my tour takes me there - looks awesome
Are you planning on coming here in a van? xx
@@Touringwiththekids I wish but don’t have one, I’m on a organised tour for my trip
The dates from medjool are just delicious 😊
For some reason it won't let me book a ticket which is disappointing. Love your vids.. Very interesting as me and my partner are from the UK also and are thinking about travelling to. Just need some good pointers. xx
Beautiful place 😍
It really is!
If you love roads like that you need to come to America and drive the Blue ridge parkway you would have a time of your life love your videos
Oohhh we're gonna have to google that!
Another fab vlog! Thank you so much for taking the time to film :). What you are giving your kids is priceless. Just wondering whether it would be ok for a single female full time traveller to go in a micro camper.Watching every vlog on Morocco I can! Enjoy the rest of your trip x
Hey!!! You're very welcome, hope the vlogs will be useful for your trip and give you a bit of inspiration about where to go. Can't really say if it's safe or not, but we have bumped into a few single female travellers here, but saying that they were travelling alongside friends xx

Over the last couple of centuries there have been more & more women going solo right round the world & the only major problem seems to be getting ripped off for vehicle repairs (just like at home). Since 1980-ish paperwork at borders has been getting silly though, so plan your route & alternatives & go visit all the embassies in London or whichever is your capital & get detailed checklists of the hoops you need to get through.
And carry a wind-up radio that will get BBC's World Service & check every day you're not heading for a war zone.
Great necklace 👍
Thank you 🤗
just love ur family ❤
Aww thankyou, that is so kind ❤️
I just want to tell you that you can find several types of dattes in moroccan markets, i think you might like them because they are good for health and so sweet .
Welcome to Morocco anytime 😉
We have heard they have some great health benefits 👍
Looks awesome, it's amazing what you can find 😍 I'd be a bit nervous to wild camp especially when cooking, I'd want to feed everyone 😢 but I know I couldn't, you have to try & harden yourself 😢 must be heartbreaking seeing youngsters beg for food, we can't help everyone, awesome vlog as always 👌🏼🌹🍻
Thanks for watching! Life really is so different out here for some x
Love the woke comment, so true
Fantastic it see you again 🇮🇪
Hi James! Thanks for watching. How's your week been?
Hi not bad
Just left hospital after having an hernia surgery
So waiting your adventure makes everything better 👍
❤
I know what u mean Rick. It hurts seeing them people out there living like that but like u said their use to it. :”(
It's just so different to what we are used to seeing. Really makes you count your blessings x
Yea I could imagine just heartbreaking and it sure does xxx
Vous êtes une famille formidable 👍👍
Merci beaucoup 😀
31:06 thats probably a road construction to split the rocks.
That looked a fabulous drive, sort of place I love. One point if I may say about your truck and in particular the cab: I think your children would get a much enhanced experience from your travels if they had a view out. Such a shame you didn’t give them windows in the side panels as all they have is the view of headrests on the front seats🥴
Windows are on the "to do" list
Great to hear you love fabulous drives like us!
Windows are on the to do list. They were very difficult to source when doing the build, had to get them imported from Germany! It'll make a huge difference when they're in 👍
I was wondering if Jack and Pip have a good view through the windscreen obviously Teddy has the best view looking straight ahead .If they tired it seems they can put their head down or curl up a little bit while safely belted up .
35. Very young. And you made that dogs day 😊
Aww I hope so, he was a lovely chap
I could eat one of those boxes maybe two😂
Haha no way!! One was enough for us 🤣
@@Touringwiththekidsfruit rarely improves if left out in baking heat all day, try again in a town where it's indoors & cooler.
Berbers are not living in these caves, they live in atlas mountains villages. These caves sometimes used to stock their staff their.
Nomads from Sahara may use it again.
Wilkom to Morocco
Great video that made us laugh. Have to ask you ... where do you think those sharks teeth came from? Hate to tell you that the Sahara is not by the sea and sharks are highly unlikely!!!😅😅
Actually, sharks were definitely there, around 350 million years ago when the Sahara was the bottom of the ocean. The area around Merzouga is a great place for fossil hunting 👍
Agree about the fossils etc but there are also a lot of faken fossils, meteorites etc. It is big business
I'm not sure why u called it north Africa instead of calling ur video in Morocco kingdom would be nice to be called by exactly the name of the country u in ....but ur videos are really good we enjoy so much thank u
Glad you are enjoying the videos 😁Where are you from?
@@Touringwiththekids from Sudan
Yes the kids are hungry out there they do not look after the animals if you can't afford yourself do not have kids do not let the kids suffer
Absolutely epic. What a place to experience. Another great entertaining video, fam bam. 😊
The animals and their circumstances always break my heart 😢 I would just want to feed all of them, as well as the children.
Loved the 'woke' comment, and it is very true that we need to be more positive and thankful in our day to day life. Human greed is horrendous.
PS. Always love you verbalising your thoughts and my brain goes 'ping' every time, knowing there is going to be a negative comment lolz ... keep it up and keep it real XOX
Thanks Clare, appreciate the video feedback. Nice to hear that you enjoyed watching ☺️ Experiencing all this and seeing the hardship first hand certainly makes you count your blessings. And yes, I'm not sure we'll ever manage to please everyone 🙈 but we need to stay true to ourselves xx
I was last there in 1997, roads look much better now, locals the same as ever. The camera does not do the area a real justice. Its so much better to be there, if you ever get the chance then it must be visited.
I agree, the camera doesn't do it justice! Looks so much better through your own eyes 👀
The current king is a car enthusiast and invested heavily in the infrastructure. Great roads now across the country (as long as you stay on the main routes 😉)
I am in Tunisia on holiday, of the the Sahara tomorrow
Ahh fabulous! Have the best time. Let us know what you think of the Sahara. Would love to hear about your experience x
dates work wonderfull as a sweetening for cooking and baking. It's a natural sugar like honey.
Yes, you get them in sticky toffee pudding don't you?
I'm not British, but I believe yes it is one of the ingredients
U know that u try one of the expensive datte in the word (Madjool) 😂
Oh really?? Didn't know that
@@Touringwiththekids read about it
I would really like to go to Campervan Campout but since we live Tilston which is near Chester, we cannot come that far for that bank holiday because I am in school soon after. Best wishes from Beth 😺👧🏼🧕🏻
Aw that's such a shame, it's a really food festival
Thanks, I wish I could come😔
How to do you plan help your daughters foster long lasting relationships over the course of their teenage years? Like how are they supposed to date and learn to find a partner if they never get to stay anywhere?
We have 1 daughter, 2 sons, but to answer your question, our kids are lucky enough to meet other kids from all over the world, but who knows what the future will hold 🤷♀️ We've got a while yet to think about them finding partners & the freedom of full time travel means that we get to decide how long we want to stay in one place for 😊
Yes yes ric had a date lol
I know, FINALLY haha 🤣🤣
Yes FINALLY haha
Rics foreign speaking voice is absolute top tier 😂😂😂
You wait till Sundays video, he goes all out 🤣🙈
vid time 7:26 what is the building behind you please
Not a clue. My guess would be a hotel project that failed.
Vidio nice tankyo
Your welcome 🤗
come to New zealand
That would be EPIC!
Viré god
🇲🇦🇲🇦💙👍👍❤🌹
What's wrong with you dates are nice lol enjoy love seeing your vids :-)
Hehe they weren't bad. Just not for us

Most of people in these surroundings are affected by the last earthquake, they lost everything they had and Moroccans did the best job ever to help them. It s not a good idea I think filming them and make video cover with that kid face, especially those berber people wouldnt accept such thing. there is poverty wherever you go even in UK and USA. You can notice that Moroccan are sometimes not open to film them, it s because of such tourists use their photos on social media.
The area we were in wasn't effected by the earthquake, so no damage here!
And since arriving in Morocco we haven't found people are against filming. We have even been invited into a berber family home (that's to come on a future video) where they were more than happy for us to film!
Not sure where this 'no filming in Morocco stance comes from'. Its certainly not our experience!
@@Touringwiththekids Not all Moroccans are not open to filming but sometimes you can notice or comes across some who do not like themseves to be filmed especially in cities. Moroccans are known by their hospitality that you may not experience somewhere else.
35 👀 you have one a year you know 😂.
Haha how old do you think he is?
He must have had an uphill paper round 👍 🤣.

Date squares?? You are from Yorkshire and never had date squares? You need to go to more church bake sales.
I'm not from Yorkshire. I'm from Suffolk
You're 35! Best get fit otherwise there's no hope for you by the time you're 40🧙♂🤪
I know it's shock, I only look 28!
But yes, fitness is needed 💪
8:02 make that child do something in exchange for the $. Im British, and my shoes are in tatters as well…………………..😊
Stay away as long as u can cause your not missing anything back in the hell hole the uk has become 👍
Oh nooo! We do enjoy coming back to the UK, but it is nice to not feel part of 'the system' so much any more.
