Happy Birthday, Chris! We actually share our birthday. Looks like traffic is crazier than in Turkey. I lived outside Ankara for a year in 1993. I really enjoyed the way how you both show how great the Turkish people truly are. Turkeys greatest natural resource is it's people. Enjoying your adventures in Trudy!
Happy Birthday 🥳. Looks like MaryAnn is going to need a lot of bags of dog food. I’m spotting many stray dogs. I really love that you try and care for them. 💕
Hi ! Yes it is a different story here ... they do not have the same support system for street animals ... and there is very little neutering / spaying programs .... It is tough to see - but makes us grateful to the countries that do have good programs 🙏😥👍
@@TREADtheglobe I was so impressed with the way Turkey seems to care for their street dogs. Is it the various municipalities that run those programs there or is it done by non profit organizations? Hope you don’t mind my questions. I just know when I was in Mexico there is very few veterinarian clinics that also try and stop the amount of puppies being born to the streets. I had contacted one and got a list of items they were needing and brought them down with me. Some other travelers in my group donated $. One of the resorts clerks delivered them. The clinic received everything and I just wish more vacationing folks would make an effort to help these places. We are so lucky 🍀 here in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 as all our shelters are no kill. We actually bring in dogs from the high kill shelters in the United States. Anyway, stay safe and have fun.
Hi Merianne and Chris I am from Turkey and lived in Georgia for eight years. I recommend you to visit the caves and canyons in Kutaisi. Greetings in the Netherlands
Hallo, herzlichen glückwunsch Chris. Schöne regnerische tage, dazu ein schönes buch und heiss getränke aber nach jedem regen kommt sonnenschein. Viel spaß in Batumi und bleibt gesund.
Such a great video as usual. Both the rain and the traffic seemed quite heavy, but there is nothing like staying inside and watching Netflix. Happy Birthday Chris!
Thanks for continuing to add Turkish subtitles ... We loved you guys; we (as Turkish people) will not leave you even if you are at the other side of the world. Keep up the good work :)
We are sad you have left Turkey but we believe this is only a temporary goodbye! Looking forward to seeing you in Turkey again soon. Good luck in Goergia & the rest of your travel journeys. 🇹🇷🏴
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris, looks like you had a wet but wonderful couple of days. I love the different environments you visit it's so interesting. Great Vlogs, thanks guys xx
a big Happy Birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day and a beautiful part of the world and also I hope you got the washing done I don't forget the ironing not my favourite things to do I've also I think people are always optional to where we are at the time and what we are doing awesome and I don't think about it just do it remember you are in one of the best parts of the world on a day-to-day basis showing some of the special days and special parts of your life and reminding us life is what you do and we are all in control of our own destiny keep going and keep living the dream xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy birthday Chris hopefully the weather picks up for use but I must say turkey spoils us but I'm excited to see your time in Georgia stay safe the drivers look c any xx
My goodness I thought it was Marianne’s birthday. It can’t be a WHOLE year since your last Birthday Chris. My goodness that traffic was an absolute nightmare. Marianne you are a FANTASTIC driver. Stay Safe and enjoy exploring. Patricia 🏴🏴🏴❤️
I can sometimes be a bit "Dippy" but just now I am totally confused🤣😂🤣. I read Marianne’s Newsletter and convinced she said it was her Birthday this week, DOH!!! I give up😂🤣😂
Ha Ha - don't worry - YES ! the newsletter is REALTIME ! And due to filming so much and travelling so fast the videos are about 2 weeks late .... so yes the newsletters are realtime and that is why Chris birthday was in middle of August (as I said in the newsletter) and mine was yesterday ! woo hoo. Marianne xx
Happy Birthday Chris🎂🥂🍾🍺🎊. So Glad you had the few days in the Apartment 👍. The weather just like the typical non stop rainy days here in Ireland 🤣. Looking forward to seeing Georgia ☘🌺.
Georgia is our neighbor we love them very much, I think you will have a good time there, its people are very similar to Turks, only their religion is different and we have good relations. Happy birthday Chris 🥳🙌
A very Happy Birthday Mr. Chris! Hope you celebrated pretty well. By the way I just celebrated mine on Sept 1st. Hope both of you en joy the fullest in Georgia and enjoy one of the best wine in the world.
Aawww!!! Showers of blessings Chris. Showers of blessings!!!! for your BD. Ps The whole area where you were staying It kind of reminded me of Panama city by the bayside area. Very tropical and stormy.
Happy birthday to you🎂 Marianne said" It's all right because I'm a qualified Turkish driver"That is good and you're right bcs it's not easy to drive in Turkey.😂
Happy birthday, Chris! (a smidgen belatedly, that is) Glad you had a relaxing few days to celebrate, plus a pint or two. 😉🍻 It's said that Seattleites don't merge, we wedge -- but we don't even come close to Batumi! 😱😱 Yikes!!! Judging from this video alone, it looks like Georgians all know *precisely* how big their vehicles are, and where they will fit. Safe travels! ❤❤😎👍xx
Happy birthday Chris. I am looking forward to see more of what you 2 get up too. That restaurant food must have been good or I suspect you would not have crossed so many 'rivers' on foot. 😊
TIL (today I learned) that parts of Georgia are sub-tropical like my home town Brisbane! And it rains like it does there to. I described you both as our mentors to my daughter today. More like aspirerationalists if there were such a word.
Happy Birthday, Chris! I was in Batumi, amongst other places in Georgia in 2018. Georgian food is delicious. If you didn’t have a Georgian meal, I would have recommended a Mexican meal for a birthday, cos it’s nacho average day 🥳
I live in that dark tall building (Porta Batumi) by the tower. I happen to be a US young pensioner of Georgian descent. I wish I knew that you spent a night in the van... Anyway, many happy returns of the Day, Chris!
wow ! that year went quick, seemed like not that long ago you had hit the big 50 in Turkey ! and Georgia, interesting architecture I was imagining something more akin to eastern block ala 1950 s , but quite stylish and a splash of colour, looking at property prices cheaper than Turkey some levels , bouncy castle ! great kids attraction all over the world , watch out for your side mirrors !
Happy birthday Chris!!!! We have been following your travels for a while now and wanted to see if you by any chance knew of a place where you can rent a van (something like Trudy even though she is one of a kind) somewhere in Turkey. We were trying to fine something online but were not very successful.
Hi - no we have not researched this yet ... but we have been told that it is very popular at the moment - I would keep looking and also check on instagram too - if anything comes up I will put it in the newsletter - M
Awwh thanks Peony Pink - yes his is in the middle of August .. as we are travelling so fast we are putting the videos out about 2 weeks later - but glad to be able to share it ... xx
Hi - yes we are in daily contact with Seher who we shared with you on video and speak to the team at the centre daily - and we are glad you are following them 👍🌺
