Liam we had very similar happen to us in Italy, they said we broke their wing mirror. We said OK let’s go to the police as we knew we hadn’t hit them so not suspecting a scam we thought they’re just crooked BUT this was in 2021. They weren’t happy with us wanting to go to the police and I must admit it scared the crap out of me. I put the phone to my ear and said I was calling the police. They got in their car and went. We were in a hire car not a camper, very scary. ❤️
UGH!!!! for as awful as this experience must have been I think you did very well. Now you are mega prepared for this ever happening again. Thank you for sharing and Well Done 👏 💯🌹
Thanks again for this very informative video absolutely brilliant journey love you guys can't wait for next weeks episode you've left us all hanging for the news 😂 ❤
Loved this 3 month trip with you! Can't believe it's 3 months! And all this time I've been living vicariously through you guys whilst trying to recover from chronic illness. You've given me great comfort and joy and I'm looking forward to your next installments. Sending peace and love to you both😊🙏🌱💚
I believe my parents got scammed several years ago in the South of France when a moped said my dad had knocked him off and damaged the bike. It was lots of money but my dad handed over the cash to repair it. I believe he went round doing this often. Lesson learnt. Don't hand over cash. Loved the Amalfi series. Thanks.
So good to see how happy and optimistic you are compared to a few months ago after your difficult times when you you had problems with the garage. You have shown us the meaning of resilience.
Bloody hell some people are so unscrupulous, very scary! I’ve heard of people throwing eggs at car windscreens which obviously makes you instantly turn the wipers on making it even worse, you stop and are then robbed! Who thinks up these things? Glad you’re both safe and you escaped all that. Excited for your next plans 😊
@@josimpson7999 If you don’t have a ‘conceal carry’ permit, get a faux gun and point it at your would-be assailant through the window glass WHILE calling the police. DO NOT roll down your window or exit your vehicle! Blessings, Jess.🌹
There’s been a situation in Portugal car parks, (which targets cars, not just vans!)where you come out of a supermarket to find someone accusing you of damaging their car and of course their car does have damage so it comes down to your word against theirs. They also demand money.
@@davemacpherson4752 The scammers referenced aren't going to take you to court for a 100 euro scratched car scam. They aren't even going to call the cops. This scam is based on you being gullible and/or scared of them, and willing to pay them money on the spot. Call the cops and watch them flee.
Credit to you both for spending 3 months in such a small space. Another tip for washing up is use the spray with a mix of 20% white vinegar to water. Killls off bacteria and doesn’t need rinsing.
Thanks for the highlighting the latest scam, don’t need to go to Europe to get scammed 😢, plenty of scammers in the UK, would recommend having cameras on your vehicle.
About 3/4 of the way through watching, so many great tips relating to car camping also handy for van life I have saved this video to my reference list!
Thanks for the scam warning, it always helps to be aware of such things. You did well to last 3 continuous months, especially with heat and mozzies. Looks like you had a great adventure. We look forward to see where your next journey in life takes you. Keep safe ❤
Guys, what fantastic content and information you shared with us over the last few months. You two ooze adventure and you certainly know how to get the most out of your days. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next. Tske care Howard x
Good to see you both ❤ Thank you for sharing the info on this scam, I sent it to my parents. They are in their late 70s and drive through Europe to holiday in Italy. That would be such a horrible thing to happen to anyone, but to older people who are uniquely vulnerable, it would be dreadful 😕. Thankfully you have kept your vibration high and been well prepared and as usual you've attracted some lovely characters to you on this trip. I especially enjoyed the passionate fruit farmer, the lemon sorbet seller and the wonderful pastry chef who continued her craft despite not being able to taste anything. Incredible people really make a trip don't they? Who have been your favourites? People have given *you* some great hints and tips along the way maybe? Now you are paying it forward and sharing them with us! So much admiration for the way you grabbed the series of unfortunate events with the Morgan situation and have turned it into opportunities for an extra visit to India and the Camino, plus some amazing unique micro camping adventures! I'm SO excited to hear your new plans. You always make the best of everything so I know whatever it is will have me pumped to follow along! ❤❤❤ A boat?...a new van?...maybe back to Ireland?... I can't cant wait to hear!!! Lots of love and see you next week. The doggies send wags. ❤
Well, I enjoyed your adventures in a micro camper.. all the ups and downs and fun. Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to see what you get up to next!! :)
Liam are you ok? You looked as if you had a bruise near your eye? Excited to see your next journey!!!!! I love that you get excited at every new adventure, so amazing!!!
Unfortunately I they try it on everywhere. In Australia they claim people push a supermarket trolley into their car. Just be very assertive back. They back down
Same thing happened to us last year in Northern Italy with a caravan. We were on a 10 wk, 10 country trip from Ireland. We were near Milan when we saw a car flashing us behind. Pulled in and the driver said we hit him on a roundabout. Pointed out a black mark on the caravan & a broken wing mirror on 'his dad's borrowed car'. Had a photo on his phone with the cost (€370) of a replacement. We totally bought it. Ended up giving him about €300. We were never happy about the circumstances (I'm an ex driving instructor & chauffeur) & this just confirms our suspicions. It totally soured our view on Italy & we would be VERY reluctant to visit again. Personally I don't wish karma on the c**t, I just know it will happen.
Woooooo another Sunday to enjoy your vlog, I am going to be very selfish here, when I saw it was only 26mins my heart Sank! :( I could watch you both for hours lol, I know a lot of work goes into your vids which you can tell you in your editing, high professional quality :)
@@ThoseHappyDays I really do love your music choices, they really make the video perfect in my opinion, they seem to fit the video and tone of the video so well :)
This happened in Europe a few years ago, car overtakes you pointing to your car and when you pull over one man will show you the tyre which they stabbed at your last stop causing a slow air release whilst the other one robs your car.
So excited for the news! Grateful for all the scammer advice too as we’re hoping to hit Europe when my lad finishes college. It’s fair intimidating but info like this is golden. Safe travels guys 💖✨
Ive loved following u in whatever ur travelling in cos u both just make it work cos of ur enthusiasm n positivity n im delighted ita been successful for u both,just keep on doin what ur doin n u cant go wring,ul always get ups n downs but thats life for all of us,good luck,good heakth n happiness n take care,looking forward to nxt wee❤❤❤❤
Love your positive attitude to everything you do. Thanks for sharing and producing such well-edited and well-thought-out videos, real pros. Can't wait to find out what you're doing next, I'm sure it will be fun whatever it is. Good luck.
Liam and Janine I just want you to know how much I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for taking this 71 yr old Pennsylvania, USA woman along on your adventures. Can't wait to see what the next one is!
I've found the little stoves that take the butane canisters to be excellent, so I'm not sure why they did not work for you. On a recent trip I cooked four breakfasts and boiled the kettle eight times on one canister, and still had a bit left. I do have a collapsible wind shield that I use, so maybe that has something to do with it? The canisters are cheap and you can buy them almost anywhere, even some supermarkets. The only problem some people have is the canisters can ice up in really cold weather, so you just keep one canister warm and swap it out if the one in use starts to slow up. In warmer weather it's not an issue. Works about as good as any other gas stove I've used. My best camping meal is a one pan pasta verde that I can make at the drop of a hat. That and a glass of red and I'm a very happy camper.
Butane becomes completely liquid (no gas leaving the canister, no pressure left) around the freezing point. So it's of no use in winter outside. A propane/butane mix or pure propane is better in winter, but I'm not sure you can get this in the necessary form factor. If you really cook a lot, it might be better to get a real cooker with a hose and a refillable (or changeable) gas cylinder. Small ones by "camping gaz" have 2,8 kg, the grey steel cylinders start at 5 kg and are even cheaper, last longer than your holidays and are changeable in almost every country. Using those avoids a lot of waste.
I have loved watching you it’s been amazing. I’m in the Netherlands in my little camper heading down to Luxembourg, Strasbourg , Switzerland then Italy, I’ll be watching out for the scammers, fortunately we are three vehicles so we will stick together. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to what is next.
Another adventure done and dusted and as always with you both fun and informative, thank you for sharing your up's and very few downs. Interesting to see what comes next. Take care and look after yourselves, Janine keep the jacket handy it's certainly cooler here!! xx
Really enjoyed this series! Great vlogs and lovely to hear your review on the micro camping experience overall. Many thanks once again Liam & Janine… can’t wait to hear what is coming next! Take care. xx ❤
Glad you had such a wonderful time but I have to say I'm relieved you have left Italy with all the volcanoes going off! Can't wait to hear news on your next phase of adventure :D xXx
Thank you for the brilliant review of the equipment and products required for your car camping. Very practical advice! You both appear relieved to be going back home to the UK and that's a good thing! Always pace yourself though, and take each day at a time. It's back to yoga! Liam, tell us about how ur dad fared while in India recently. Hope he had as good of a time as you and Janine! 🙂
thank you for making this video, it's so important to get these things out there so hopefully others can do as you said, not stop or go to the police together. that is so sad that Italian's are doing that, I'm so surprised. thank you again.
I'm going to be wondering all week what you're up to next! Such teases. You are both the most positive people ever ,Im so glad you didnt get caught up with that scam. Cant understand why people think its ok to live their lives scamming people.
Why not use White Vinegar?! Ideal also for suacepans if foid is caught/ slighty burnt in the base. Add vinegar agitate , leave a few moments , put lid on and heat up . Wipe out with kitchen paper towel !😊😊
To get your sleeping bag back in the original bag is to just stuff it in, don't fold it, nothing just stuff a little bit at a time. It works every time. I used to work in a camping and fishing store and put hundreds of sleeping bags back in the original bags. 😊
I have to admit I was worried for you guys at first but you seem to have taken to car camping quite well. I've followed your travels for a while and I don't think I have seen Janine look so at peace as she does right now. Its so sad that so many people are out to scam you at ever turn these days but i'm glad to see you are one step ahead. Stay safe and take good care of each other 😃
Hi Janine & Liam we have been following your journey for a couple years now & really enjoy it. We were part time van lifers over 20 years ago, after living in Jamaica for 18 years we have recently returned back to the UK. We are planning to buy a motor home but the money isn't here yet, & was so inspired when Janine came up with the micro camping car that we went out & got one ourselves. we have been on the road in Europe for 5 weeks now. We did buy tickets for Morgan however we didn't win him! Looking forward to your next big reveal. One Love
It's been lovely, lively, interesting, exciting fascinating at times and always a real pleasure joining you on your adventure travels. It's all very bittersweet, ending this European trip that has been marvelous😢. However, the anticipation of what is next on your agenda has been able to off-set the tinge of sadness at saying goodbye yet again to Europe. We've come to look forward to your Sunday broadcasts as a real item of lazily awakening and kicking off the day😂. Can't wait to see/hear what is coming up next for all of us who join you! It's Been WONDERFUL!! So Guys get all rested up and rejuvenated for what is coming. I will see you on your very next vlog!!👍 Until then hugs and kisses 🤗🤗😘😘 Take Good Care, Enjoy and above all THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND FOR ALL THOSE LOVELY SUNDAY MORNINGS ❤❤
Love all your travel vlogs, been watching for several years and I always so look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to. You are both so positive and inspirational, can’t wait for the next step 😊
Oooh, exciting new chapter about to unfold. Half of me wants to see you in a bigger camper and being paid by Amazon Prime or some such platform to do a series, but I'm not sure if that fits with your free lifestyle. Whatever it is - I'm looking forward to following you guys on the adventure 😊
Happens in the services and aires as well. On our way to south east france around Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago when we had parked up, a guy put his head in our half open window and very politely said our car had smoke or vapour coming out of the engine as we came into the services. We locked the doors and said thanks but its ok, put the window up and did not get out of the car. We drove onto next services and i stayed in car while husband checked under the bonnet just to be sure. Of course it was fine but we were rattled because our car had broke down in the UK causing us to miss the ferry and spend a night in a hotel! Now we never leave the car together, always one person stays with doors locked and windows up and handbags etc. Are well hidden under or behind seat. Sounds like paranoia but its not as its happening all the time now. Such a shame its putting us off driving in Europe after many trouble free years.
I joined your adventures around the time when you were experiencing troubles with Morgan and absolutely loved your travels in India. I have been longing to do more travel in Europe and have been keeping an eye out for the right van (we have a dog so that is realistic to do with her in a way that has more logistical challenges elsewhere). Although I don't think microcamping is for us, I have absolutely LOVED seeing you both undertake this adventure, seeing the beauty of places a motorhome simply couldn't go. It's also been really nice to see you able to chill a bit on campsites too, which I hope also offered something relaxing and a bit different for you. Despite some of the challenges with a smaller space, as you said a few times, travelling to the places you did on this trip opened up a whole new world for you both that you couldn't access in previous vehicles and it has been so cool to see you do so many wonderful things, from parties in Ibiza to the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. This whole series has had such a cool, chilled vibe to it. Thanks so much for all the work that goes into these videos, it is always such a treat to watch them and to get some great tips and advice along the way!
Sorry to hear that someone has attempted to scam you. Glad that you're back in the UK. Another great adventures of Janine & Liam vlog and love 🥰it. Love 💞 Janine & ❤ Liam.
We avoided it but were shocked to have met people who it has happened to not only recently, but multiple times to others. It's a crazy world out there mate
It's Sunday in Aus. Time to catch up again. I really love to follow you through Europe. Seems you have to take the good with the bad. As always very interesting.
I forgot to tell you my name is Hanna I write under my hubby's name. I love following your adventures with you both. Wonder what the surprise is next week.As all ways take care. Great stories. @@ThoseHappyDays
Shame on Italian cops who turn a blind eye to scammers. In this country that constitutes as aiding and abetting. Hat's off to you for highlighting the issue. Maybe if people took licence plates and reported incidents more often they'd be forced to take the situation more seriously. Would an airfryer or slow cooker be better plugged into your power bank or would that be to cumbersome and inefficient. Has the winner of Morgan been announced yet?
Hey guys 👋 Really enjoyed this last few months of you travelling in the car…wasn’t what I expected at all. Look forward to what’s next…a boat maybe? Whatever it is I know it will be fun! Have a blessed week 🙏
I live in Southern Africa and overland across the region for 6 months every year and so I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from similar work/travel experiences on TH-cam. Of all channels I watch from folks across the globe I can't help but wince at the first world problems and solutions presented on this channel. I genuinely would love to see you both take on a circuit in my part of the world. Humans are never the ones to be wary of. I'm currently wild camping on the Zambezi valley near where the borders of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique meet and one worry is bumping into a territorial hippo when I want to take a leak.
That little lever next to the dial on your cooker, that needs to be in the UP position when not in use otherwise all of your gas will leak out. We have one and we use it everyday multiple times a day and we go through one gas canister a week. Also when you’re not using, remove the gas canister
Very informative video, I have learned a lot from you. I am planning my own trip through Europe to the north of Italy. The only difference is I travel solo and live in the back of a bmw 4 series.
The gas stoves work really well. I’ve had one for more than 20 years that I use to boil kettles etc when I’m marshalling on rallies. I’ve just ordered a collapsible windshield to use with it. The gas canisters are cheap and last well.
Oh my, you teaser ! 😂 Soo lovely to see you complete your Italian adventure and hear the final assessment of car camping, brilliant 👍 But, oh, the wait to see what you guys are up to next is killing me lol ! Your happy days, also make happy days for us viewers, Take care both ☺️💖
Keep going guys. Best doing it whilst your young, as the way things are going you are best carving your own life style out and make your own money etc. Good luck.
🌈💝Such a marvelous 3 months of micro-camping travel adventures. You are wonderful people with a beautiful life philosophy and spirit. Keep shining and sharing your bright light energies! Thanks for your very helpful road and product tips. All the very blessings are wished for you. Stay safe as you continue exploring and experiencing the world together on your next joyful life path journey. ❤🎉🌻🌈

This kind of scam was very common in the 1990s Russia. While in Russia its long gone, it seems that 1990s are coming to Europe.

Another adventure done and dusted and as always with you both fun and informative, thank you for sharing your up's and very few downs. Interesting to see what comes next. Take care and look after yourselves, Janine keep the jacket handy it's certainly cooler here!! xx
@bobcharles2683 haha she's always got a jacket at hand! Can't wait to see you next Sunday have a good one
Really enjoyed this series! Great vlogs and lovely to hear your review on the micro camping experience overall. Many thanks once again Liam & Janine… can’t wait to hear what is coming next! Take care. xx ❤
@@janl7552 thank you kindly x
Glad you have had a good trip with its ups and downs, Im intrigued to see what is coming next.x
More to come! It's dead exciting, thanks for watching and see you next week x
Glad you had such a wonderful time but I have to say I'm relieved you have left Italy with all the volcanoes going off! Can't wait to hear news on your next phase of adventure :D xXx
Hi, it was really good to catch up with you both last weekend, and I am looking forward to seeing your new adventure plans. Take care and stay safe
You too, hope you are have a fab follow up weekend 😀
Welcome back to uk. Cant wait for whats next! ❤
Same! It's actually very exciting for us too and next week we promise to share it all with you
Thank you for the brilliant review of the equipment and products required for your car camping. Very practical advice! You both appear relieved to be going back home to the UK and that's a good thing! Always pace yourself though, and take each day at a time. It's back to yoga! Liam, tell us about how ur dad fared while in India recently. Hope he had as good of a time as you and Janine! 🙂
He loved it! And might go back as he loved it so much 🇮🇳
thank you for making this video, it's so important to get these things out there so hopefully others can do as you said, not stop or go to the police together. that is so sad that Italian's are doing that, I'm so surprised. thank you again.
They may or may not be italian, but it doesn't cast a shadow on them for us as we loved all of their culture & hospitality
So the police aren’t interested. ! That’s a bigger problem than being scammed.
Much respect to you both for sharing your fabulous trips and adventures. Always a pleasure 💛✌️
Really enjoyed your adventures in the micro camper and I’m looking forward to seeing what you both do next!!😊
Thank you, can't wait to share big news on Sunday
I'm going to be wondering all week what you're up to next! Such teases. You are both the most positive people ever ,Im so glad you didnt get caught up with that scam. Cant understand why people think its ok to live their lives scamming people.
Why not use White Vinegar?!
Ideal also for suacepans if foid is caught/ slighty burnt in the base. Add vinegar agitate , leave a few moments , put lid on and heat up . Wipe out with kitchen paper towel !😊😊
To get your sleeping bag back in the original bag is to just stuff it in, don't fold it, nothing just stuff a little bit at a time. It works every time. I used to work in a camping and fishing store and put hundreds of sleeping bags back in the original bags. 😊
Loved your micro camping journey, your positivety is infectious. So looking fwd to your new adventures ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Love watching you guys- can’t wait to see what’s next ❤
I have to admit I was worried for you guys at first but you seem to have taken to car camping quite well. I've followed your travels for a while and I don't think I have seen Janine look so at peace as she does right now. Its so sad that so many people are out to scam you at ever turn these days but i'm glad to see you are one step ahead. Stay safe and take good care of each other 😃
Thank you, we honestly loved it, best summer ever so far
Hi Janine & Liam we have been following your journey for a couple years now & really enjoy it. We were part time van lifers over 20 years ago, after living in Jamaica for 18 years we have recently returned back to the UK. We are planning to buy a motor home but the money isn't here yet, & was so inspired when Janine came up with the micro camping car that we went out & got one ourselves. we have been on the road in Europe for 5 weeks now. We did buy tickets for Morgan however we didn't win him! Looking forward to your next big reveal. One Love
Love that you guys! You have a great flow to life, keep at it 🇯🇲💃🙌
I am excited to see what you do next....
Oooh maybe one of those long cannal boats.
Haha love from Australia
It's been lovely, lively, interesting, exciting fascinating at times and always a real pleasure joining you on your adventure travels. It's all very bittersweet, ending this European trip that has been marvelous😢. However, the anticipation of what is next on your agenda has been able to off-set the tinge of sadness at saying goodbye yet again to Europe. We've come to look forward to your Sunday broadcasts as a real item of lazily awakening and kicking off the day😂. Can't wait to see/hear what is coming up next for all of us who join you! It's Been WONDERFUL!!
So Guys get all rested up and rejuvenated for what is coming. I will see you on your very next vlog!!👍
Until then hugs and kisses 🤗🤗😘😘 Take Good Care, Enjoy and above all THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND FOR ALL THOSE LOVELY SUNDAY MORNINGS ❤❤
What a lovely comment, thank you. Really appreciate the support and we can't wait to reveal what happens next, next week ❤
@@ThoseHappyDays I'll be there👍🌹 waiting in anticipation 😀 😘😘
Love all your travel vlogs, been watching for several years and I always so look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to. You are both so positive and inspirational, can’t wait for the next step 😊
Can’t wait to see what you guys get up too next, always fun to see you both having fun and loving life 😊
Thanks for sharing your micro camping adventures.Looking forward to seeing what your up to next.
Thanks for watching! More to come
Great video guys looking forward to seeing what's comes next
Thanks 👍 look forward to seeing you next week
Oooh, exciting new chapter about to unfold. Half of me wants to see you in a bigger camper and being paid by Amazon Prime or some such platform to do a series, but I'm not sure if that fits with your free lifestyle. Whatever it is - I'm looking forward to following you guys on the adventure 😊
Think you will like it, it's very exciting
I’d like you to buy Janines old family cottage in Ireland and renovate it That would be great
French Connection UK Amazon ppl need to stop using them. So easy to get what you want from the people amazon gets it from. ✌️
Looking forward to your next chapter xx
My Peugeot Expeet is a similar size and I live full time in it. I’m 6 months in and love it!!
Actually, Berlingo and Expert are the same kind of car. Both brands belong to Stellantis, they are sister models.
Safe travels to you both & good wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 take care 👍👍
Thank you! You too!
So informative and helpful as well as sharing what fun you have had. Amazing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great adventure. I appreciate your embracing whatever arises-inspiring.
I appreciate that! Thank youn
Thanks for another interesting vlog! Pro's and cons noted ✅️ 👌 I can't wait to hear about your new plans 🤗❤️🍀🍀🍀
@@susantaylor147 it's very exciting! Next week we are going to share all, see you then
Thank you for your videos. I have really enjoyed your 3 months of travelling.
Glad you had a wonderful time.
Glad you like them! Think you will love what we will share next week with you too, see you then x
Happens in the services and aires as well. On our way to south east france around Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago when we had parked up, a guy put his head in our half open window and very politely said our car had smoke or vapour coming out of the engine as we came into the services. We locked the doors and said thanks but its ok, put the window up and did not get out of the car. We drove onto next services and i stayed in car while husband checked under the bonnet just to be sure. Of course it was fine but we were rattled because our car had broke down in the UK causing us to miss the ferry and spend a night in a hotel! Now we never leave the car together, always one person stays with doors locked and windows up and handbags etc. Are well hidden under or behind seat. Sounds like paranoia but its not as its happening all the time now. Such a shame its putting us off driving in Europe after many trouble free years.
Such good advice
@@julielomax7183 trying to force peto pay for campgrounds and hotels?
@beautifuldreamer3991 No, just offering up our own experience so people can make informed decisions.
Cannot wait to see what's coming next!! 😊 safe travels liam and janine xxxxxx
Thank you 😊
Glad you’ve had a great time in Europe in your Berlingo , look forward to see what you get up to next 😊
More to come! Thanks for watching & commenting
I joined your adventures around the time when you were experiencing troubles with Morgan and absolutely loved your travels in India. I have been longing to do more travel in Europe and have been keeping an eye out for the right van (we have a dog so that is realistic to do with her in a way that has more logistical challenges elsewhere). Although I don't think microcamping is for us, I have absolutely LOVED seeing you both undertake this adventure, seeing the beauty of places a motorhome simply couldn't go. It's also been really nice to see you able to chill a bit on campsites too, which I hope also offered something relaxing and a bit different for you. Despite some of the challenges with a smaller space, as you said a few times, travelling to the places you did on this trip opened up a whole new world for you both that you couldn't access in previous vehicles and it has been so cool to see you do so many wonderful things, from parties in Ibiza to the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. This whole series has had such a cool, chilled vibe to it. Thanks so much for all the work that goes into these videos, it is always such a treat to watch them and to get some great tips and advice along the way!
Sorry to hear that someone has attempted to scam you. Glad that you're back in the UK. Another great adventures of Janine & Liam vlog and love 🥰it. Love 💞 Janine & ❤ Liam.
We avoided it but were shocked to have met people who it has happened to not only recently, but multiple times to others. It's a crazy world out there mate
It's Sunday in Aus. Time to catch up again. I really love to follow you through Europe. Seems you have to take the good with the bad. As always very interesting.
@@robertworrall7630 always! 🇦🇺
I forgot to tell you my name is Hanna I write under my hubby's name. I love following your adventures with you both. Wonder what the surprise is next week.As all ways take care. Great stories.
@@ThoseHappyDays
Shame on Italian cops who turn a blind eye to scammers. In this country that constitutes as aiding and abetting. Hat's off to you for highlighting the issue. Maybe if people took licence plates and reported incidents more often they'd be forced to take the situation more seriously. Would an airfryer or slow cooker be better plugged into your power bank or would that be to cumbersome and inefficient. Has the winner of Morgan been announced yet?
Loved your adventures through Europe. Looking forward to the next one...
Watching your video is always the highlight of my Sunday 😀 . Can't wait to find out what you're getting up to next! Xx
Yay! Thank you!
Hey guys 👋 Really enjoyed this last few months of you travelling in the car…wasn’t what I expected at all. Look forward to what’s next…a boat maybe? Whatever it is I know it will be fun! Have a blessed week 🙏
Your approach to travelling and life in general are great 🤩
Thank you! 😃
I live in Southern Africa and overland across the region for 6 months every year and so I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from similar work/travel experiences on TH-cam. Of all channels I watch from folks across the globe I can't help but wince at the first world problems and solutions presented on this channel. I genuinely would love to see you both take on a circuit in my part of the world. Humans are never the ones to be wary of. I'm currently wild camping on the Zambezi valley near where the borders of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique meet and one worry is bumping into a territorial hippo when I want to take a leak.
That little lever next to the dial on your cooker, that needs to be in the UP position when not in use otherwise all of your gas will leak out. We have one and we use it everyday multiple times a day and we go through one gas canister a week. Also when you’re not using, remove the gas canister
@@melissamcgrath68 thank you
Thanks for sharing your travels with us, I love every episode. And now I’m looking forward to see what’s coming next 😂
Glad you like them!
THANKS FOR SHOWING YOUR BLUETTI, I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE LIGHTER SOCKET COULD CHARGE IT WHILE DRIVING, AND I LIKE THE HANDLE.
We have just brought a fiat doblo can’t wait to convert.. 😊your adventures look amazing 😊
@@clareboylan6741 good luck on your future adventures ✨️
Very informative video, I have learned a lot from you. I am planning my own trip through Europe to the north of Italy. The only difference is I travel solo and live in the back of a bmw 4 series.
The gas stoves work really well. I’ve had one for more than 20 years that I use to boil kettles etc when I’m marshalling on rallies. I’ve just ordered a collapsible windshield to use with it. The gas canisters are cheap and last well.
We use one of these gas cookers in our HOUSE. A canister lasts a LOT longer than you suggest.
Good information guys, good to have you home x
Cheers dad
Oh my, you teaser ! 😂
Soo lovely to see you complete your Italian adventure and hear the final assessment of car camping, brilliant 👍 But, oh, the wait to see what you guys are up to next is killing me lol ! Your happy days, also make happy days for us viewers, Take care both ☺️💖
Another fantastic little bit of art from Janine. Look forward to your news 💃
Oh man! What a way to leave us- with a cliffhanger!!!! Oh well. . Can’t wait till the next video!
More to come! It's very exciting
