Hi Nigel and Sue, really enjoying your Aussie and now European adventures, Nigel can I ask about your camera clip which I noticed in this video? I’ve looked at few brands on Amazon but wondered what your was? I have a Pentax but assume the screw fitting that is on them would be universal? thanks Caroline

nutting out a top ten of Tassie would be impossible a top 10 for the entire country?? a total joke I did a 12 month dash of Oz in 82 and took 10,000 slides So vast is Oz even a top 1000 list is pointless Canarvon Gorge?? Preston Beach WA?? Seldom Seen Vic highlands?? Tea Tree NT?? Queenstown West Tassie?? A full Lake Kati?? Trinity Beach FNQ?? All beat the dead moon by a vast margin ps I only managed 33,000 miles on that trip and suffered having to cull legs due to deadlines. There would easily be another 100,000 miles worth travelling

Your 🚐 custom layout is almost identical to ours (2023). I love it, especially the separate dining/lounge area and toilet/shower - a non negotiable for me (as a female when traveling solo). We’ve got the same Enerdrive system, and also a diesel heater - an essential for winter camping in Tassie! I wish I’d seen this video beforehand - as you’ve given a lot of thought to the rear storage: it’s so organised! Very practical conversion ❤

Thanks, we really wanted to get the layout right for full-time living, and especially having enough space for our "toys" in the back. Surprisingly, our factory-built van we now have in Europe is a very similar layout.

@nigelandsueadventures Yes, I’ve seen your Pos-Pos. But that ‘off the shelf’ van required a few serious modifications. That’s why we didn’t go for a pre-manufactured van but had a Sprinter fitted out to our design. There’s nothing quite like your own custom fitted van is there? 🚐

The one and only time I was in Sicily was in July 1992, the day of one of the bombings in Palermo. To be honest, I wasn’t too keen on southern Italy. It’s probably changed quite a bit since then.

The Yakuza of Japan were formed nearly 300 years before the Sicilian, so Sicilians didn't "invent" the mafia. Italy's crime rate is one of the lowest in Europe, lower in some categories than all Northern Europeans, confined mostly to petty crime and it's homicide rate is tied for 3rd lowest in Europe with Norway, almost comparable to Japan's. Those American mafia movies and programs and others have smeared Italy's reputation with overblown stereotypes.

Ah, I thougt you were talking about the new speed control system that's all over Italy. ;) Just kidding, it's just a quick warning I also wanted to put out. Luckily, I didn't have to pay up but I was basically frozen stiff with fear for a whole month because you just can't be sure until you get a bill since are no red flashes or anything like for example in Germany.

Mi amo Palermo! I’m retired and living on the coast outside of Palermo. I take at least 2 long walks in the city every week and it seems there is always something amazing around every corner. Next time you visit the city, avoid the tourist areas and wander through the local neighborhoods. Stop and have a bite to eat or a drink in some of the small local establishments. Don’t be afraid, you will be welcomed!

If during the Covid there weren't the people of South of Italy, that every evening at 6 began to sing on the balconies and keep the spirit high, all that tremendous time would have been a total interior death. The south of Italy is chaotic, disorganised, messy, but passionate. It warms people up - although sometimes, as a person from Milan and Luzern in Switzerland it is indeed too much to bear! 😅😅 It is soo nice to discover Italy through your eyes! Thank you! ❤

Fabulous city. Thanks for the unique smellivision feature that just exuded from your footage. That white bait and swordfish was delicious. Was hoping you would go for the pomegranite juice, rather than the orange, at the juice sellers stall though. The chick pea flour munchies also looked and smelled fabulous, along with all that fresh produce on the markets. What an amazing and beautiful city Palermo is. So ancients and utterly fascinating. Good on them for organising the NO Mafia movement amongst the store keepers too! As always, another fabulous episode of your travels. So lovely to have such detailed records of the highlights for you too! Cheers and happy travels for the week ahead.
