The roman under floor heating is called hypocaust. Basically there's a fire and the heat is channelled under the floor and up channels in the walls.

Sorry but I'm tempted to ask...what did the Romans ever do....Great video girls and such a great country! I had a two week holiday in 2010 and did a couple of mini road trips, even stayed in a Pousada, one of the heritage places you can stay, often old palaces or castles, amazing. Following your adventures with tons of interest. Keep calm and keep adventuring!!

13:03 Not rinsing after washing up. This is the one and only major culture shock I've faced in Ireland. American raised, living in Ireland now 7 years (via over 20 years living in other places outside the US) and the not rinsing after washing up it still shocks me. And I'll never be won over, always gonna rinse. LOLOLOLOL!

I'm sure I started following u about 2 years ago because u were in Portugal, Monsanto go to the top of the village and keep right ,it's a cobbled street up to the castle, left and it's rough and rural, just like I took, and u, when I visited. You cinematography of landscape as you travel is the best and so informative although short, I think that's what pulled me to u in the first place. I have not followed u for a long time. But u are gripping, and such a lovely couple, thankyou ❤

Oh no, this is the first time in Portugal with the van and a camera for us 🙂

[@paultansley5528]

Great times, thank you for sharing them with us all 💗Yes Portugal 🇵🇹 is a wondrous wonderful beautiful place & watching you both having such goodtimes traveling through a country gives us all a snippet of the places, then add both of your personalities with amazing footage is absolutely MAGIC 💗& all the mist made for some cool BEAUTIFUL shots. We also arrived in Portugal (Sat 20th) & stayed on the outskirts of the great Lisbon👍 Then Thursday we got the Train to Faro then Olhao which is so gorgeous, with lovely people, if you get this far I suggest visiting Culatra & Armona island 💗💗💗 enjoy, keep up the great work, stay safe & remember we love you 4 lots n lots 💗💗💗

[@susiemartin3144]

It’s so funny that you should be talking about the Roman heating system today. My husband just found a bit of hyper cause tile in the field this very afternoon. The pillars of tiles you saw would have had a floor on top and the hot air ran through under the floor and up hollow box tile flues in the walls to create the heating in the rooms! So you would have under floor and in wall heating. Heat would come from a furnace at one end of the system!

[@campervibe]

It’s crazy and such a good way to

[@Birdfarmer862]

The spelling of the system is Hypocaust. There are several examples of Roman Hypocaust in England.

The Roman hypo-caust heating system involved having an extremely big fire from which hot exhaust gasses were pulled through stone ducting under the floor to exit via a chimney which was drawing air up on the other side of the property. Basically it was hot air ducting before its time.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw the mist sure gives an other texture your Footages dispite the mist was amazing those small villages / Towns. So pretty 😍. Sure looked steep but the views were worth it .

Those piles of bricks stacked up at the Roman remains were once a part of a hyper course that heated the now now missing floor.. so yes the Romans did actually invent underfloor heating 😎

[@roberthardy2013]

Hypercaust.

[@campervibe]

That’s crazy cool

[@heleenwiegand1650]

A hypocaust (Latin: hypocaustum) is a system of central heating in a building that produces and circulates hot air below the floor of a room, and may also warm the walls with a series of pipes through which the hot air passes. The brick pillars are supporting the wooden floor (now gone) above.

[@zoeb6778]

The heating system at that ruin, looks a bit like the ones in Bath at the Roman Baths, which kinda makes sense as this is a ronan ruin.

[@retirement-adventures]

Like the Roman baths in Bath UK, they had underfloor fire heating. There must have been a timber floor once upon a time.

No two minute tour? I was watching David John's (@Vandemonium/@CruisingTheCut) tour of his campground and commented that he should have done a "Two Minute Tour" (a la Emily running around gasping😆😉).

Brilliant vlog as always girls. Can't wait to see Lisbon it's on my bucket list 😊 xxxx

[@jofozzard6052]

So basically there is a floor suspended above the brick pillars. To one side of the building they light a fire and the hot air circulates in the space below the floor somehow. Thus the building is heated. Amazing for their time in history. The Romans also invented the flushing toilet apparently!!!!! Clever people!!!!

[@campervibe]

Oh definitely amazing

I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I loved every video I have watched so far. You are a fun couple to travel and hang out with. I'm originally from Portugal, living in Scottsdale, Arizona, for almost 40 years. I love it here. I feel so lucky in life. I was born in Zoio, a little village near Braganca in the very northeast of Portugal, and i grew up in Vila Nova de Gaia near Porto. In 2014, I published my memoir A Dance to Freedom: Your Guide to Liberation from Lies and Illusions, and now I'm working on my second memoir, Reenactment: A Dance with Lucifer that was triggered by my first book. Stay true to yourself no matter what, and continue living your authentic life.

[@lizwilson6633]

Hey, so glad you are liking Portugal. I nearly leapt off my seat when you stopped at VIlla Velha de Rodao. We stumbled across this gorgeous place by pure accident and fell in love with it. Where you were parked in the little circle you were right behind a bar restaurant. The owner of the bar (think it's called Bohemia) was so lovely, he also owned a hotel in the village. The river Tajo you were on is so historical and there was a neolithic site that they had restored and lovely wooden walkways had been built to allow you to walk around it all. Stunning scenery. Only not so nice thing I remember about it was the smell from the pulp factory further along the river. Ooh in the summer it sure did smell. Sagres is a lovely town right down south west corner. Enjoy
