WIN OUR CAMPER VAN CONVERSION - RAFFLE (JUST OVER A MONTH TO GO) raffall.com/355345/enter-raffle-to-win-win-beautiful-off-grid-camper-van-conversion-hosted-by-liam-day
I'm in a minority with my opinion here, but I think that free camping could be fine in some countries and areas, but not everywhere. There could be a number of reasons why locals and/or authorities don't want it and people being irresponsible is just one of those reasons. Other reasons could be disturbance of nature (here in the Netherlands for example, "nature" is restricted to small areas where even one quiet camper can cause hindrance to wildlife) overflow (allow one and the rest will follow) or economic. In the case of Ibiza where the economy is heavily reliant of tourists the loss of income because of visitors not willing to pay for staying overnight can add up and those visitors are still using amenities and infrastructure. A car park fee doesn't cover that.
I agree. We live in Wales, and it’s prohibited, apart from in one county. There have been problems with black waste being emptied, disturbances to wildlife etc, particularly on the coastal areas. I follow Reds go travels, they’ve just been to Scotland and witnessed two lots of black waste emptied on a beautiful area, along with the remains of fires. It’s on one of their recent videos. Pretty poor when people expect to do exactly what they like, particularly in areas of outstanding natural beauty. We were up Snowdon two years ago, and were disgusted to find human excrement near to the paths. Some people are just all about themselves and their own enjoyment unfortunately.
@@AntmadmandaI totally agree. Look at Mt Everest. It’s happening here in Oz. Since Covid a lot of people show no respect to our wildlife and Fauna. Just very sad 😥🏴🇦🇺Enjoying your travels. I only wish people were as responsible like you two. I see that the locals on the NC 500 in Scotland have had enough with wild camping and all the mess they leave.
With love and respect, ❤️🤗💐 I disagree, people are the problem. Wildlife isn’t told where they can and can’t be. Humans should be free to come and go as they wish. No matter what, people are dirty and disrespectful I lived in Germany and someone pooped outside my block on more than one occasion and was sick outside my door, my next door neighbour which is a downstairs shop under flats, here in wales left a toilet and a heap of rubbish in a communal back garden, my sister in law can’t let her dog into communal garden as the neighbours dog poops in there and they never clean it, and it was like that before she moved in! My mum lives here in wales and where we walk the dog is a rubbish dump at the side of it, the rubbish comes out of there and litters the wildlife all over that area, as does McDonald’s, kfc and other takeaway food places. The beaches here are disgusting when holiday makers come up and stay in hotels and caravans they leave rubbish, bbqs, crisp packets, carrier bags, nappies, etc. People go to the woods to dump their rubbish and I’ve seen that in Spain too, a nice little walk in Mallorca up into the hills then there was windows smashed and dumped along with other building waste. The problem is global! None of this is from people living in vans, this is people who have homes permanently. It’s the cursed money system that limits our movement. Do you think the king or the pope would need permission to fly there or sleep in a motor home there? Not at all they have freedom of movement. I’m not for restricting anyone’s movement or freedom. I’m not a dirty person and would never leave a place in a mess and I don’t think Liam and Janine would either. People don’t realise it’s our world because they’re always told what to do so they have no respect for our world but they all respect dirty money that’s why it’s such a mess. Not because people wild camp!
As somebody who used to work as a car park attendant, something we would look for to see if people were sleeping in their cars which was not allowed. Is the driver seat in a position that means it could be driven? If the driver seat was covered inaccessible? We would potentially consider any vehicle like this car camping/a camper conversion to create space in the back. Most put the stuff where they’re not able to use so something I’d always recommend is , making the front seats always accessible so as if you were parking so if they look in the front seats they just see a normal car. If you see loads of stuff in the front you tend to consider as potential for people to be camping inside number of times we were then, knock on the door to find out if they were camping. These were private car parks in Norfolk which prohibited overnight sleeping in vehicles.
Its not illegal to sleep in your vehicle in Spain. Thats considered overnight parking, totally legal. Camping is defined in Spanish law as expanding the footprint of the vehicle, such as opening a tent outwards from the body of the vehicle, extending an awning, putting out tables and chairs. So really its easy to wild camp in Spain if you follow those rules.
I know that you two are responsible caring people and treat your surroundings with respect. I have a place on the Spanish mainland not that far from Ibiza, so I read some of the press about the issue. For years Ibiza ( and other party areas) have been overwhelmed by people who party wildly and have basically destroyed for everyone else. It’s not the police, they are just doing their jobs and representing the views of residents. It’s the minority who destroy for everyone else but Ibiza wants to clean up its act.
Loved your outfit at Club Tropicana Janine, you looked stunning. Great vlog again guys and it’s so nice to watch a longer video instead of the 15/20 mins that a lot of people load 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌞
Lovely to open my laptop and catch up with you two on a sunny Sunday morning. Hopefully inspiring others to break free and follow their dreams. Nice to see your subs almost at 200k. Very encouraging ☺
My goodness Janine is an incredibly talented producer and editor. You are right there witnessing such wonderful scenes…It takes real vision to make us feel it through our little screens. 🙏
I could almost feel the tension you two were feeling in the van when the policeman was looking in and walking around,go Janine especially knowing your stress levels,glad the enjoyment of the island made up for it,you need to throw caution to the wind sometimes and just enjoy yourselves safte travels happy days❤
Put your roof bag in the car overnight - it’s a bit of a red flag that someone is inside kipping. You were very lucky this time, maybe not the next. Safe travels.
a roof boot may be a better option. It's a waterproof hard case that attaches to the roof racks. It's designed to fit small luggage but you can fit anything really. It screams "traveler" rather than "camper".
I can see you are having issues with condensation inside the van. Can I suggest you buy a Karcher window cleaner. It uses a hoover system which pulls all the water from the windows and windscreen into a container. It is a must for vanlifers.
I genuinely look forward to your videos. it's so cool to be travelling along with you! I'm suffering from a chronic illness and I loved travelling, walking, general outdoors stuff, but now I'm mostly wheelchair and bed bound. Thank you for bringing me along with you, you guys rock🤘💚
Sorry guys I'm sick of people breaking laws of other countries because they want to do there own thing. Most laws are there for a reason. And I am tired of people thinking the rules don't apply to them.
It's alright no need to apologise 🙏 We didn't go to break any laws, we went to explore a beautiful island and stay within the law (which admittedly is a grey area)
So funny imagining Janine and the cop eyeballing each other without him even realising it. It's all very well people in the comments saying you should pay for accommodation to support local tourism, but not everyone can afford it and if you're car camping without leaving a trace who exactly are you hurting? Hating all these restrictions everywhere. I've been watching some of the American van lifers and they have it so easy with free campgrounds they can stay at for weeks on end if they want. I'd love to see you guys doing an American trip to all the National Parks. Go, on, you know you want to.
Always good to see another awesome travel adventures of Janine & Liam. Sorry to hear that you have been getting into trouble from the police (even though you haven't been causing any trouble). Love 🥰 the vlog and love ❤️ Liam & 💕 Janine.
Great to see you guys exploring in your belingo. We have travelled France alot in our camper. I would definitely reccomend getting away from costal south of france if wild camping. It is not as safe. Go inland, there are river beaches and lakes with incredible facilities all free to stop over. Most villages have a free van stop area. Medieval villages, (not carcassonne which is very touristy) bakeries and friendly locals. We are heading back in September we love it so much. Oh also the midges situation in much of the coastal south can be horrendous for vanlife! We use local swimming pools for showers (though you will need some budgie smugglers Liam, if hoping to swim! 😂)
What a brilliant video, I throughly enjoyed that. Almost felt as though as I was there, makes me want to jump in my overland rig and drive there now, thanks 👍
Hi Liam Janine, just watch your latest vlog. absolutely brilliant👍. I really enjoyed it. Well, done you doing really well in your micro van life, looking forward to the next vlog take care❤👍🇪🇸
Great video! I know Spain very well but I've never actually been to Ibiza so it was great to get a virtual tour, it's quite beautiful. Enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing where you go next. I see someone recommended taking off your window covers as it flags you up as campers, which is true in the UK, but not in Spain. You may have noticed lots of people using reflective shields on their windows which is to try and protect your car from the heat when parked, as it ends up like an oven when you return. I use a windscreen one all the time and I'm not camping, just parking. So a combination of the reflective shields, and tinted windows, rather than window covers on the back side windows and tailgate window too, I think makes it look like you're just protecting the car from the heat, not camping. If you had those covers on the other windows that would be a red flag. I know you've got them on the front side windows but that could be explained as protecting the car from the heat as those windows aren't tinted, or hiding car contents from view. PS: Vowels in Spanish are usually pronounced phonetically, the way you teach children to spell. "I" sounds like 'i' in immense, so the 'i' in Ibiza is pronounced the same way you pronounce the i in India, not the way you say the i in Island. The emphasis in words is on the last syllable but one, so it's Ibeetha, emphasis on the 'ee', you don't emphasise the 'i' as you would when you say iPhone. The tempo of Ibiza is said with the same tempo as when you say Louisa. Hope that makes sense! If you'd like to learn a little Spanish to help you along, I really recommend the free Duolingo app, it's great, and fun! Always helps with the locals if you make an effort to speak Spanish, no matter how badly, they always appreciate it.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah we always try and speak the local lingo wherever we go, and love the Spanish language. It's one that we want to learn as completely as possible in the near future ✨️
Great video, honest account of your travels. I've liked two sets of contradictory comments. We should respect the law in other countries as we would expect visitors to the UK to be law abiding, but I agree our genuine freedoms are being restricted , so maybe we have to take risks to experience a full life. Good luck with France, hope this next trip is crime free.
Hiya, followed your great site from the beginning, love it. Just want to say that I went to Ibiza in 1969 to San Antonio so different, was only two hotels then and I got warned by police for wearing a bikini, how times have changed!
@@ThoseHappyDays Gone from being shocked by a bikini to shocking seasoned travelers who think they've seen it all... It must have been the 70's did it.
Theres been a problem in Ibiza with camping for many years not just recent years, at the moment there’s illegal camps near Ibiza town and other parts of the island with many vans ,tents, cars and home made structures etc in my opinion they are all on high alert,the problem is Ibiza has a 6 month season,if you’re lucky,the price of accommodation, for residents, has become horrendously expensive,home owners prefer to rent to tourists as they make a lot more money so the knock on affect from that is apartments, houses stand empty 6 months of the year which has created a lack of affordable housing for residents and summer workers. Ibiza is a very small island 21 miles at its longest length and 12 miles wide, It’s a beautiful island my home for many years,I’m pleased you were able to experience the island in the way that you chose, at the same time, in my opinion ,there needs to be a certain amount of control over sleeping in vehicles etc on such a small island especially in summer months I have to say the correct pronunciation of eyebeefa is eeeebeetha😢sorry I know the majority of us brits pronounce it the” eye way” it’s my pet hate…. Safe travels to you both 🙏
Great episode guys. Perhaps putting the roof bag in the car overnight might reduce police attention. Thanks for reminding me of all the beautiful places to see in Ibiza. Cafe Del Mar used to be one room with an open front. How things change. Great views with the drone cam. Are you not tempted to go around the coast of Spain and Portugal before you go back to France? Whatever you decide, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy travels xx
Here in Australia most small townships have free camp sites, with showers and toilets. I'm planning a trip up north (Queensland) as it gets into spring down here. Every free site I've looked at has local council facilities and allows leashed dogs. That's the way to do it - let travelers roam around and enjoy the country if they want to. There's usually a 24 hour camping limit, which is fine, I won't even be unhitching the camper. I do have extra facilities for shower/toilet if absolutely necessary, but this is last resort at this stage. I'm on my way somewhere (music festival) with my teardrop camper and just need places for the afternoon/night. Petrol is dear enough as it is ($2/l). I don't need to be paying for camping/motels on top of that apart from my final destination which is private property and $20 a night close to a tropical beach. It will be a 3400 km round trip for me, over a couple of weeks. Also, while traveling, most big truck stops do have shower facilities for a small fee. In remote Queensland (no power, no cell, no camp sites) these are called "Roadhouses" and have been catering to travelers for over 100 years. Think combo fuel station/bar ($12 a stubby)/ dining room/ facilities/free camping. I'm also bush crafty for extremely remote areas. You wouldn't even know I was there, except there will be fewer wild boars ruining the channel country. Liam and Janine, you would love Australia. You could spend the rest of your lives traveling around it and see five new things every day. I kid you not. I think you should do it. It's as bizarre as India (in its own way) and as normal as Cornwall all at the same time.
I'm so happy the police officers moved on, it must of been worrying. Great content as always and I'm so glad you are finally getting settled in your Berlingo 🎉❤
I live in a beach town in US. Not everybody is leave no trace. Finding toilet paper and excrement behind every hedge ruins good will towards stealth campers. If you run into problems with the police in decided areas, if they still have hostels there try camping near one and leave a hostel flyer where they can see it. Enjoy!
Can you go to Corfu where van life is somewhat tolerated, try the Schengen jump to Croatia if you need more time :) Or you can take a boat to Mallorca, it is bigger
Hey guys. I was just between Cannes and Menton. No crime issues. Many decent places to stop. Beach car parks are not gna work though. Think out side the box. Mention and antibes both had beach park ups. The rest, no chance. Have fun
Lord, talk about living on the edge. I'll be honest I couldn't live with the stress of free camping on Ibiza and I'm a big supporter of it - providing it's done with respect and mindfulness. It certainly is a beautiful island.
We had a coffee at the spot in the morning. Unless I’m mistaken you were at Portinatx - they had really cool decor at that bar - especially the toilets 😂 We also spent a night at the home stay where you guys stayed.
Oh I enjoyed today’s episode and ur both looking so healthy and glowing, it’s lovely to see. Stay safe and have ur wits about u if ur back in mainland Europe Ps Can I just compliment u both on the editing and filming in this vid, outstanding! Felt like I was watching some high end tv program, brilliantly done ❤️
How fun does this look!!!! Awesome video 🎉 I love LOVE Freddie Mercury ❤️ That is so awesome to party in his suite ❤❤❤❤As soon as I saw that pool I immediately recognized it from the Wham video!! So cool. George Michael and Freddie both legends and imence talent we will never see again.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Those berlingo electrics are a pain, on mine the 12v socket was controlled by the ecu. Eventually I just wired a second one direct to the battery and bypassed all of the citroen electronics
Fantastic video just to a couple of things to recommend I would suggest to get a leisure battery and I would suggest to get extra sockets USB and cigarette sockets built into the dashboard underneath where the glove boxes because then you won't have the problem running out of power plus if you get a diverter so when the power is running from your engine it will charge you battery up and then it won't lose any power on your other battery
Your videos are AMAZING, the way you film and the beautiful music you find! This video has just made me want to go to Ibiza lol, its looks absolutely beautiful
Hey you need to know you don’t have to open the door if they knock! You don’t have to accept a fine or answer to one. They are trying to get you to enter a contract and until you are free. Get yourself a battery angle grinder in case you get clamped. Stay free ! Lots of love Debbie:) x
Hey guys really enjoyed your travels & take on Ibiza ,you made the most of your time there ,beaches ,cafes nights out etc & yep love the drone footage ! Happy French trip ✨💜✨
Ahhhhhhh Guys, It's truly heartwarming to see you having such a great time!!!!!! Living it up hanging out in world class hotspots, getting through hangovers, evading the cops, enjoying a TERRIFIC holiday!!!!!!! A great broadcast. Really, really enjoyed this one. It's also good to see you finally feeling accustomed and truly at home now in the car and taking advantage of spending most of your time outdoors. It's made me think that I spend way too much time indoors. (Not good). Looking forward to seeing your next broadcast with a new chapter in Bobby. Take good care and above all continue to ENJOY!!!!!! Hugs and kisses till next time❤❤🤗🤗😘😘💯✌️🌹
I can understand that it sometimes doesn’t make sense why something is illegal, but there probably is a reason and as someone else here said it could be because of people misbehaving in the past or because of nature or whatever. Either way the fact remains that it’s illegal and you’re a visitor there, aware of their rules but choosing to ignore them. Even though you don’t disturb anyone. Are there no places where you can park legally or ask the owner of the place if you can stay there or something? It’d give you some peace of mind too and hopefully a better nights sleep knowing you’re actually welcome and fine.
What we did was legal and within the rules, the problem being that it's a grey area. We took the opportunity not only to have a good time in a conscious manner, but show that not all campers leave a mess where they go, and choose to support local businesses along the way
@@junehall2177 I wonder as well, all I can find is :a ordenanza, explican desde el Ayuntamiento, establece en su artículo 54 que "está prohibido acampar en las vías y los espacios públicos, salvo autorizaciones específicas para lugares concretos". También detalla que "no está permitido dormir de día o de noche en estos espacios"" google translation: he ordinance, explained by the City Council, establishes in its article 54 that "camping is prohibited on roads and public spaces, except for specific authorizations for specific places." It also details that "sleeping during the day or at night in these spaces is not permitted."
It’s a good job both Janine and the officer Dibble didn’t have their face pressed right up to the window, but oh my goodness what a picture that would make 😅😂🤣 you two are just plain bonkers and so hilarious , thats why I love watching your adventures and the beautiful places you travel too. ❤
Hey there...pause the video,you guys need to buy a sawyer filter So you can safely drink anywater you find,its nano tecnologie and filters everything out....cost 50 euro , ....super video 😊🌸🐦☁️❤️☁️
Be careful overloading cigarette lighter point . Maybe the mechanic puts a bigger fuse in this time . Load upto 120 Watts with inverters and such like . Have a brilliant time x
Unfortunately some van people have ruined it for other buy dumping the human waste where every they stayed even those with their own bathrooms wevhave had in lovely places in Mazarron where I live so a lot of place now out of bounds we live in the countryside with large plot of land we have a loud people to stay the near by Espuna mountains has wonderful walks even barbecues to use if in the area you are welcome if ever in the area
I well remember the ‘Run to the sun’ weekends in Cornwall, which was like little Ibiza every summer. Loads of youngsters down there camping and Partying until the early hours and outside on the streets outside the pubs & clubs. We used to have to go down there so that we caught the bank holiday as my daughter was a teenager at the time, at the height of her partying days. She’s now in her early 40’s and has two children of her own who we take down there. How did all that time go so fast⁉️😱Make every second count because before you know it, you’ll be too old. Enjoy!
Our dear beanbags, please remember what I wrote in my 1st message, a bit long but it's important about the Mossies, Vitamin B 1 is the key to repell the bites and gets yourselves some Organic Bicarbonate Soda and take a level teaspoon in the morning on a empty Stomach...It will work wonders as you go forward, best health,with ❤
As I'm not a party girl per'sa Ibiza is not on my list of destinations, but I'm glad you went and had fun and from what I saw it looks like a lovely idilyic island.
I know you're both getting a ton of advice right now, but honestly the best thing you can do is to get rid of the reflective window cover at the front of your car. It's such a "look at us" giveaway. When we car camped America, we built a curtain rail across the two hand grips on either side of the car and used some black material. That way the front of your car looks like an ordinary car. Right now you look 100% like car campers
In Spain reflective window covers at the front of the car aren't unusual, purely to keep the sun out and stop the car turning into an oven. I use them every time I park my car, I never camp in it
Car cigarette sockets normally have a maximum rating of 10amps. Which at 12v gives a maximum of just 120watts of power you can pull from that socket. If you are running more than one device from that socket you can easily exceed the rating for the socket. A large 40L cool box easily pulls 50w of power and a laptop/Mac can pull 65watts of power. It’s difficult to run two devices of that nature and charge a phone for example without blowing a fuse.
Janine is so naturally pretty. 😇 It's such a shame that young girls these days feel the need to have slugs for eyebrows, stupidly long eyelashes and lips that make them look like a fish!!! Just baffling. 🙄
Hi guys love your videos, just a thought you could put the roof bag in the front of car at night (if it fits) and is easy to take down and put back up, sometimes it highlights the fact people are travelling around and possibly staying in the vehicle ❤

Thank you for sharing , it all looks clean & very smooth .
So admire you guys, living your dream. Just found your channel and hope your journey continues for many more years to come! Go for it! 😎
Love watching your adventures! Will you post twice a week please 🤣🥰 we need more of you guys xxx
I can see you are having issues with condensation inside the van. Can I suggest you buy a Karcher window cleaner. It uses a hoover system which pulls all the water from the windows and windscreen into a container. It is a must for vanlifers.

Always good to see another awesome travel adventures of Janine & Liam. Sorry to hear that you have been getting into trouble from the police (even though you haven't been causing any trouble). Love 🥰 the vlog and love ❤️ Liam & 💕 Janine.
Thanks for understanding 🙏 we had a great time (without breaking any laws)
I'm so glad that you have had a lovely holiday. It looks fantastic and you deserved a chilled out time. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! Hope the weekend is serving you well
Great to see you guys exploring in your belingo. We have travelled France alot in our camper. I would definitely reccomend getting away from costal south of france if wild camping. It is not as safe. Go inland, there are river beaches and lakes with incredible facilities all free to stop over. Most villages have a free van stop area. Medieval villages, (not carcassonne which is very touristy) bakeries and friendly locals. We are heading back in September we love it so much. Oh also the midges situation in much of the coastal south can be horrendous for vanlife! We use local swimming pools for showers (though you will need some budgie smugglers Liam, if hoping to swim! 😂)
What a brilliant video, I throughly enjoyed that. Almost felt as though as I was there, makes me want to jump in my overland rig and drive there now, thanks 👍
Thank you, and yes you should do it
Hi Liam Janine, just watch your latest vlog. absolutely brilliant👍. I really enjoyed it. Well, done you doing really well in your micro van life, looking forward to the next vlog take care❤👍🇪🇸
Thanks a lot mate
Brilliant that you made it to Pikes, it’s the best night in Ibiza. We are booked in to Pikes this coming Saturday. Can’t wait.
It's amazing isn't it! Had such a good time. Have fun 👍
I lived in San Antonio..... When it was still old school Ibiza.... Now it's very quiet, but still beautiful.... Well played...x
Great video! I know Spain very well but I've never actually been to Ibiza so it was great to get a virtual tour, it's quite beautiful. Enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing where you go next.
I see someone recommended taking off your window covers as it flags you up as campers, which is true in the UK, but not in Spain. You may have noticed lots of people using reflective shields on their windows which is to try and protect your car from the heat when parked, as it ends up like an oven when you return. I use a windscreen one all the time and I'm not camping, just parking. So a combination of the reflective shields, and tinted windows, rather than window covers on the back side windows and tailgate window too, I think makes it look like you're just protecting the car from the heat, not camping. If you had those covers on the other windows that would be a red flag. I know you've got them on the front side windows but that could be explained as protecting the car from the heat as those windows aren't tinted, or hiding car contents from view.
PS: Vowels in Spanish are usually pronounced phonetically, the way you teach children to spell.
"I" sounds like 'i' in immense, so the 'i' in Ibiza is pronounced the same way you pronounce the i in India, not the way you say the i in Island. The emphasis in words is on the last syllable but one, so it's Ibeetha, emphasis on the 'ee', you don't emphasise the 'i' as you would when you say iPhone. The tempo of Ibiza is said with the same tempo as when you say Louisa. Hope that makes sense!
If you'd like to learn a little Spanish to help you along, I really recommend the free Duolingo app, it's great, and fun! Always helps with the locals if you make an effort to speak Spanish, no matter how badly, they always appreciate it.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah we always try and speak the local lingo wherever we go, and love the Spanish language. It's one that we want to learn as completely as possible in the near future ✨️
Janine eye to eye with the policeman🤣🤣
Was hilarious *after it happened* haha
Lovely shots of Ibiza guys, great to see you having a ball 😄
Thanks dad
thanks guys, that was so good!! beats any telly travel program hands down... I so want to go to Ibiza now XX
You must!!
Great video, honest account of your travels. I've liked two sets of contradictory comments. We should respect the law in other countries as we would expect visitors to the UK to be law abiding, but I agree our genuine freedoms are being restricted , so maybe we have to take risks to experience a full life. Good luck with France, hope this next trip is crime free.
Well said thank you
Love the beaches. Glad you did not get fined.
Enjoy your travels. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hiya, followed your great site from the beginning, love it. Just want to say that I went to Ibiza in 1969 to San Antonio so different, was only two hotels then and I got warned by police for wearing a bikini, how times have changed!
It will shock you now, not in a good way sometimes
@@ThoseHappyDays Gone from being shocked by a bikini to shocking seasoned travelers who think they've seen it all...
It must have been the 70's did it.
What a beautiful and interesting world we have! You two have shown us so much beauty on your travels x
Thank you 🙏
Theres been a problem in Ibiza with camping for many years not just recent years, at the moment there’s illegal camps near Ibiza town and other parts of the island with many vans ,tents, cars and home made structures etc in my opinion they are all on high alert,the problem is Ibiza has a 6 month season,if you’re lucky,the price of accommodation, for residents, has become horrendously expensive,home owners prefer to rent to tourists as they make a lot more money so the knock on affect from that is apartments, houses stand empty 6 months of the year which has created a lack of affordable housing for residents and summer workers.
Ibiza is a very small island 21 miles at its longest length and 12 miles wide,
It’s a beautiful island my home for many years,I’m pleased you were able to experience the island in the way that you chose, at the same time, in my opinion ,there needs to be a certain amount of control over sleeping in vehicles etc on such a small island especially in summer months
I have to say the correct pronunciation of eyebeefa is eeeebeetha😢sorry I know the majority of us brits pronounce it the” eye way” it’s my pet hate….
Safe travels to you both 🙏
I can imagine it's hard for the local government to keep the balance 😕 thanks for commenting
George and Freddie...gone to soon! amazing guys and great nights out
U guys are great so respectful n ur editing is getting even better J amazing ur self taught brilliant ❤
💃💃🙏🙏
You’re right - that doesn’t sound like a relaxing holiday! But sometimes it’s worth it for the adventure.
It really is!
Great episode guys. Perhaps putting the roof bag in the car overnight might reduce police attention. Thanks for reminding me of all the beautiful places to see in Ibiza. Cafe Del Mar used to be one room with an open front. How things change. Great views with the drone cam. Are you not tempted to go around the coast of Spain and Portugal before you go back to France? Whatever you decide, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy travels xx
We LOVE Spain, but something is drawing us the other way
Brilliant I've Always wanted to go to Pikes❤
Here in Australia most small townships have free camp sites, with showers and toilets. I'm planning a trip up north (Queensland) as it gets into spring down here. Every free site I've looked at has local council facilities and allows leashed dogs. That's the way to do it - let travelers roam around and enjoy the country if they want to. There's usually a 24 hour camping limit, which is fine, I won't even be unhitching the camper. I do have extra facilities for shower/toilet if absolutely necessary, but this is last resort at this stage. I'm on my way somewhere (music festival) with my teardrop camper and just need places for the afternoon/night. Petrol is dear enough as it is ($2/l). I don't need to be paying for camping/motels on top of that apart from my final destination which is private property and $20 a night close to a tropical beach. It will be a 3400 km round trip for me, over a couple of weeks.
Also, while traveling, most big truck stops do have shower facilities for a small fee. In remote Queensland (no power, no cell, no camp sites) these are called "Roadhouses" and have been catering to travelers for over 100 years. Think combo fuel station/bar ($12 a stubby)/ dining room/ facilities/free camping.
I'm also bush crafty for extremely remote areas. You wouldn't even know I was there, except there will be fewer wild boars ruining the channel country.
Liam and Janine, you would love Australia. You could spend the rest of your lives traveling around it and see five new things every day. I kid you not. I think you should do it. It's as bizarre as India (in its own way) and as normal as Cornwall all at the same time.
The way you describe it as absolutely perfect 👌
@@ThoseHappyDays Well it is, but not always. That's what makes it an adventure ;-)
How Wonderful is that...WOW... A night to treasure. Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it, we really did
Nice to see ya enjoying life, keep it up!
really enjoy what you do . keep living your dream .see you nexr week . nice backing music ,just perfect .
Thank you! Will do!
I'm finding the policemans face too funny 😂 great video, beautiful island ☀️
Imagine if they'd got it on video?
Another wonderful video. You look chilled and happy.
Thank you, we are!
I'm so happy the police officers moved on, it must of been worrying.
Great content as always and I'm so glad you are finally getting settled in your Berlingo 🎉❤
Much appreciated! We are adapting 🙏
I live in a beach town in US. Not
everybody is leave no trace.
Finding toilet paper and excrement behind every hedge ruins good will towards stealth campers.
If you run into problems with the police in decided areas, if they still have hostels there try camping near one and leave a hostel flyer where they can see it.
Enjoy!
That's a great tip
Can you go to Corfu where van life is somewhat tolerated, try the Schengen jump to Croatia if you need more time :) Or you can take a boat to Mallorca, it is bigger
I am afraid to say that sometimes the law is the law, whoever you are. Sorry
Good job we didn't break it
@@ThoseHappyDays 😂😂😂 great vid
Within the law! ❤
Pikes is awesome! The best sunday roast also before an anfernoon/evening of partying xx
Great watch just loving your life style thanks again for sharing with us x
Thanks so much 😊
I bloody loved ibiza when I went with my sister a few years ago that was on the top 3 holidays. Loved the video an remomising love it ❤
Hey guys. I was just between Cannes and Menton. No crime issues. Many decent places to stop. Beach car parks are not gna work though. Think out side the box. Mention and antibes both had beach park ups. The rest, no chance. Have fun
Lord, talk about living on the edge. I'll be honest I couldn't live with the stress of free camping on Ibiza and I'm a big supporter of it - providing it's done with respect and mindfulness. It certainly is a beautiful island.
We loved it! The whole experience was amazing
@@ThoseHappyDays If its made you both happy that's all that counts. 😄
It makes great viewing.
We had a coffee at the spot in the morning. Unless I’m mistaken you were at Portinatx - they had really cool decor at that bar - especially the toilets 😂
We also spent a night at the home stay where you guys stayed.
Ah lovely, wasn't the home stay great?
Oh I enjoyed today’s episode and ur both looking so healthy and glowing, it’s lovely to see. Stay safe and have ur wits about u if ur back in mainland Europe
Ps
Can I just compliment u both on the editing and filming in this vid, outstanding! Felt like I was watching some high end tv program, brilliantly done ❤️
Wow thank you so much, really appreciate the feedback 😊
Great photography and info Enjoy xx
Thanks so much 😊
How fun does this look!!!! Awesome video 🎉 I love LOVE Freddie Mercury ❤️ That is so awesome to party in his suite ❤❤❤❤As soon as I saw that pool I immediately recognized it from the Wham video!! So cool. George Michael and Freddie both legends and imence talent we will never see again.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Loved your Ibiza vids, such a beautiful Island 😍
That policeman 😆
Good luck in France!
Merci and gracias
Those berlingo electrics are a pain, on mine the 12v socket was controlled by the ecu. Eventually I just wired a second one direct to the battery and bypassed all of the citroen electronics
So inspiring!!! 😊
💓🙏
That's a great look, Janine. Good job! Especially the mocha cover up
Wow so many great tips for campervanning in Ibiza! Pike's looked so cool! Your drone footage was awesome as always, which one do you use please? 😊
Thank you! It's just a mavic mini 2
Ibiza looks absolutely stunning! I’m glad you didn’t get caught 😮x
My Blood Pressure would not stand up with the risks with parking .
As I have said before thank you for taking me to places I will never see.
Our pleasure
That must have been so scary.
Glad you had a good time in beautiful Ibiza
Fantastic video just to a couple of things to recommend I would suggest to get a leisure battery and I would suggest to get extra sockets USB and cigarette sockets built into the dashboard underneath where the glove boxes because then you won't have the problem running out of power plus if you get a diverter so when the power is running from your engine it will charge you battery up and then it won't lose any power on your other battery
Thank you
Your videos are AMAZING, the way you film and the beautiful music you find! This video has just made me want to go to Ibiza lol, its looks absolutely beautiful
You should! And thank you for the kind comments 🙏
Hey you need to know you don’t have to open the door if they knock! You don’t have to accept a fine or answer to one. They are trying to get you to enter a contract and until you are free. Get yourself a battery angle grinder in case you get clamped. Stay free !
Lots of love
Debbie:) x
Ah I've seen van lifers carry them, that's why is it? I've always thought it's in case they get locked in a car park or something
Hey guys really enjoyed your travels & take on Ibiza ,you made the most of your time there ,beaches ,cafes nights out etc & yep love the drone footage !
Happy French trip ✨💜✨
We LOVED IT, thanks so much for joining us 🙏
I really enjoyed this I look forward to Sunday's and your new content
Yay! Thank you!
Janine, your outfit is gorgeous and you look great!
Thank you ❤️
Reflective shield at the front is very common in Spain, people use it all the time to protect from the sun! It would look normal!
Janine looked gorgeous on the night out. Great video guys x x
Thanks so much! 😊
You scrub up well janine, not so sure about you Liam 😂😂
Hey! Great video. Thank you. How could I find/book the Homestead? ❤️
Park for night, near san Antonio
Ahhhhhhh Guys,
It's truly heartwarming to see you having such a great time!!!!!! Living it up hanging out in world class hotspots, getting through hangovers, evading the cops, enjoying a TERRIFIC holiday!!!!!!! A great broadcast. Really, really enjoyed this one. It's also good to see you finally feeling accustomed and truly at home now in the car and taking advantage of spending most of your time outdoors. It's made me think that I spend way too much time indoors. (Not good).
Looking forward to seeing your next broadcast with a new chapter in Bobby. Take good care and above all continue to ENJOY!!!!!!
Hugs and kisses till next time❤❤🤗🤗😘😘💯✌️🌹
Thank you. Much love ❤
@@ThoseHappyDays right back at you🤗❤️!! See you soon I hope!!!!😘😘😘😘
I can understand that it sometimes doesn’t make sense why something is illegal, but there probably is a reason and as someone else here said it could be because of people misbehaving in the past or because of nature or whatever. Either way the fact remains that it’s illegal and you’re a visitor there, aware of their rules but choosing to ignore them. Even though you don’t disturb anyone. Are there no places where you can park legally or ask the owner of the place if you can stay there or something? It’d give you some peace of mind too and hopefully a better nights sleep knowing you’re actually welcome and fine.
What we did was legal and within the rules, the problem being that it's a grey area. We took the opportunity not only to have a good time in a conscious manner, but show that not all campers leave a mess where they go, and choose to support local businesses along the way
@@ThoseHappyDays May I ask, how do you know it was legal, if as you say it is a grey area ?
@@junehall2177 I wonder as well, all I can find is :a ordenanza, explican desde el Ayuntamiento, establece en su artículo 54 que "está prohibido acampar en las vías y los espacios públicos, salvo autorizaciones específicas para lugares concretos". También detalla que "no está permitido dormir de día o de noche en estos espacios"" google translation: he ordinance, explained by the City Council, establishes in its article 54 that "camping is prohibited on roads and public spaces, except for specific authorizations for specific places." It also details that "sleeping during the day or at night in these spaces is not permitted."
I was stressing for you both haha, great series thank you Liam and Janine love from Australia 🌏🦘
💃🙏 thanks for watching 🇦🇺
It’s a good job both Janine and the officer Dibble didn’t have their face pressed right up to the window, but oh my goodness what a picture that would make 😅😂🤣 you two are just plain bonkers and so hilarious , thats why I love watching your adventures and the beautiful places you travel too. ❤
🤣🤣🤣
Hey there...pause the video,you guys need to buy a sawyer filter
So you can safely drink anywater you find,its nano tecnologie and filters everything out....cost 50 euro , ....super video 😊🌸🐦☁️❤️☁️
* adds Pikes to travel bucket list *
WHAT A VIDEO!
Thank you ❤️
Be careful overloading cigarette lighter point .
Maybe the mechanic puts a bigger fuse in this time .
Load upto 120 Watts with inverters and such like .
Have a brilliant time x
Good call, that's what crooked it
Unfortunately some van people have ruined it for other buy dumping the human waste where every they stayed even those with their own bathrooms wevhave had in lovely places in Mazarron where I live so a lot of place now out of bounds we live in the countryside with large plot of land we have a loud people to stay the near by Espuna mountains has wonderful walks even barbecues to use if in the area you are welcome if ever in the area
Thanks so much, and very true
First thing I would do is move your electric hook up point, it stands out like a sore thumb and 100% shouts camper 👍
I well remember the ‘Run to the sun’ weekends in Cornwall, which was like little Ibiza every summer. Loads of youngsters down there camping and Partying until the early hours and outside on the streets outside the pubs & clubs. We used to have to go down there so that we caught the bank holiday as my daughter was a teenager at the time, at the height of her partying days. She’s now in her early 40’s and has two children of her own who we take down there. How did all that time go so fast⁉️😱Make every second count because before you know it, you’ll be too old. Enjoy!
Well said. And it sounds fab!
Our dear beanbags, please remember what I wrote in my 1st message, a bit long but it's important about the Mossies, Vitamin B 1 is the key to repell the bites and gets yourselves some Organic Bicarbonate Soda and take a level teaspoon in the morning on a empty Stomach...It will work wonders as you go forward, best health,with ❤
Come to the mainland, lots of free parking, very welcoming! Costa del Sol!
Come to Italy. No trouble car camping here. Janine, you looked lovely on your night out. Buona fortuna.
Gracie!
As I'm not a party girl per'sa Ibiza is not on my list of destinations, but I'm glad you went and had fun and from what I saw it looks like a lovely idilyic island.
Brilliant experience! Good luck and hugs 🤗
Thank you! 🤗
I could never be that stressed every night! Love your videos!
Thank you! Honestly it's an adventure and we had the BEST TIME there
I know you're both getting a ton of advice right now, but honestly the best thing you can do is to get rid of the reflective window cover at the front of your car. It's such a "look at us" giveaway. When we car camped America, we built a curtain rail across the two hand grips on either side of the car and used some black material. That way the front of your car looks like an ordinary car. Right now you look 100% like car campers
In Spain reflective window covers at the front of the car aren't unusual, purely to keep the sun out and stop the car turning into an oven. I use them every time I park my car, I never camp in it
@@MamaKim. fair enough, but I think they’ve used them in colder countries, including the U.K. where it is unusual and a dead giveaway
@@looseygooseycreations yes it is in the Uk, but it's really not in Spain when it's just at the front
Bloody great vlog, I know Ibiza well but u was very informative for other viewers,,, well done guys, if always smiling 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Car cigarette sockets normally have a maximum rating of 10amps. Which at 12v gives a maximum of just 120watts of power you can pull from that socket. If you are running more than one device from that socket you can easily exceed the rating for the socket. A large 40L cool box easily pulls 50w of power and a laptop/Mac can pull 65watts of power. It’s difficult to run two devices of that nature and charge a phone for example without blowing a fuse.
Janine is so naturally pretty. 😇
It's such a shame that young girls these days feel the need to have slugs for eyebrows, stupidly long eyelashes and lips that make them look like a fish!!!
Just baffling. 🙄
Hi guys love your videos, just a thought you could put the roof bag in the front of car at night (if it fits) and is easy to take down and put back up, sometimes it highlights the fact people are travelling around and possibly staying in the vehicle ❤
The only reason we don't is it's a bit of a faff...but doable
