ESCAPING EUROPE: We need to leave! // S05E01

[@KombiLife]

It's not an adventure until something goes wrong....so 2020 is a HUGE ADVENTURE then, right? 😁 ► *NEXT EPISODE // DRIVING AROUND THE WORLD SERIES:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/lafRc4GYacdni9k

[@3233Donnie]

Kombi Life, That’s an understatement ! Love all your hard work on your videos, the girlfriend and I work in the film industry..we appreciate the behind the scenes craziness...enjoy your time on the planet 👍🏻

[@pip5461]

I'm glad your on the mend... Pity the volcanic rock is too heavy to transport, it's sort after and used in various craft works. It's going to be difficult to drive wearing an eye patch, but you've probably doubled the hospitals income.... :)

[@AustralianRadioindie]

Loved watching the adventures

[@KelceyNickson]

Best of health to you both. Look into getting some Ascorbic Acid. It was life changing for me. I hope you try it for yourself. A prominent reasearcher’s video for reference, please watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLQcqufh5WGfqc

[@lucylou5766]

Kombi Life Crikey, When it doesn’t rain, it pours, right? Good to hear from you just the same. Have been wondering how you three were faring lately. You have one big thing in your favour in Europe now and that is sunshine. Soak it up. A lot of researchers into the current illness suggest Vit D3 is a game changer. Here in Oz, we are in middle of a major spike in case numbers, mainly in Vic. People have not been able to get enough sun as we have been kept inside too long, plus now it’s winter here of course. Highly recommend Vit C too, for speedy recovery and healing from wounds like yours. You both seem to coping really well, all things considered. Safe travels. 🐨🌷

[@emsalsa9385]

I'm a US expat living in Austria and there is literally nowhere I would rather be right now. Everything is back to "normal" for the most part since the end of May/early June. The only thing I wish I could change is that my parents could be here, safe. What's going on in the US with case numbers is insane to me...and not knowing when I can go home and see them again is an awful feeling.

[@SteveVi0lence]

The us has done 55+million tests. More than any other country. Austria just isn't counting the numbers

[@ryanfleming4665]

When it comes to illness/injuries, 'ignore it and hope it goes away' is such a blokey thing to do (and it usually works!) Glad to see you guys back.

[@KombiLife]

I know right! 😆

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Yeah, and the time it doesn't work may be the first and last time. Blokey dumb.

[@mapsman5513]

Glad to see you posting again. I wondered what was happening with you.

[@KombiLife]

More to come!

[@JenShea]

So good to see you back. Sorry about the cyst (and eye) but how fortunate you had a beautiful place to hold up in and I’m sure you are grateful for the medical treatment there! My Border Collie, Lily, used to love to run with us... the rocky, stony dirt roads were really hard on her paws, but that didn’t stop her... she just ran so hard she’s sometimes injure her leg for a few days... but she was soooo happy. Take care.

[@nickavery8930]

Seeing Leah digging through the bin bag sorting out the recycling made me so happy! You guys are awesome Loving the dash cam set up

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi Ben and Leah - so pleased to see you are safely back in the EU and heading north - Ben you look like you had a bit of a rough time there - hope you are ok. Keep safe and sending you virtual hugs - Chris & Marianne xx

[@KombiLife]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jerzywoking1699]

I drove from UK through France to south east Spain and back again 2 weeks ago using N and D roads. Saw no officials anywhere apart from the UK/France borders. Expected Customs or Police at the France/Spain border, but none at all.

[@Crabbyskunk]

Southern Spain is one of my favorite travel destinations... with all your challenges, speaking as an American unwelcome in much of the world this Summer... I envy you two

[@lostkiwichic]

Wondered what had happened to you guys. What a trial!! Chin up, good to see you guys "on air" again 🤩

[@KombiLife]

See you next Sunday for another adventure!

[@onthefreeside]

Glad to see that you are posting again! Horrible that you got sick tho. But it all ended up okay in the end!! We are at the moment trying to convert our own van and everything seems to be going wrong as well. Well well hoping for the best haha!! 😀

[@Relaxingvibes24hours]

Surprise sunday upload. Im loving it. Turning the football off for this

[@helpgavin]

Commenting to support the channel in these strange times. Love to see the travels! I watch every video to the end and leave a like on them all. Cheers!

We appreciate you Frank. Thanks 🙏

Brilliant💚🚌 So Brian , my Spanish Pom , who is almost as well travelled. He loves running beside the bus off the beaten track, as I yell , Running Running Running , out of the window . He loves itv. Happy travels guys ❤️

[@pujanshrestha2065]

for so many days I felt something missing from my life, and with this video I have come to realize I really need u guys in my life

[@KombiLife]

Thanks for sharing the adventure with us Pujan. 😊

[@vickibarringer1714]

So glad to hear from you all at last! We were so worried having not seen or heard from you folks for so long. Stay safe and healthy 🙏.

[@GmaBear10]

You poor kids ! I know it seems you can't catch a break right now but things will get better !! Praying for your safe travels ! So glad to see you back on KZbin, I was worried !!!💕

[@LukesHomeTube]

Glad you made it out of Morocco! Also I loved seeing Alaska exercise. Scary experience with your head Ben. That was the right move to have it checked out!

[@colinmorley6983]

Hi you lovely people. I have followed you from South America. Good to see you back on line. I have missed you and looked everyday to see your next video. Now here you are. I hope you next “adventures” are not so frustrating and hard. I expect you will go back to the channel isle but if you are in UK and need some help near Cambridge. Please let me know. Colin

[@KombiLife]

Thanks so much for joining us Colin!

[@katieanderson783]

Glad to see you’re posting again please stay safe in this hectic time

[@senne8103]

If you Guys want to go to a place where it doen’t even seem like Covid 19 exists I suggest driving to Ardèche. It’s a beautiful place in France in the mountains. The view is great and food is quite cheap. I have been there on vacation before and it’s a stunning place. Ps: I’m Belgian. I live in Tessenderlo wich is east flanders. I know you Guys are in quite a hurry but it would be cool to one day wake up with a blue kombi driving on the streets of this small town.

[@dmytro2500]

Thats south France right? Would be cool if they went through there and took “the long way” to wherever they’re going. Going along the east side of france, since it seems they want to go North.

[@TheNobleAthelstane]

5:29 That eye roll.

[@sonyatheforestgaurdian3152]

We all know Alaska is the main reason everyone keeps coming back.

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Oh boy Ben! Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans! But guys.... those beaches! Your campsites while you wait out hospital , That’s most people’s dream holiday

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

OMG !! So Great to see you again, and glad to see you are hanging in there. Wishing you Safe travels 🥰 🐾 🚐 🌟

[@bendesignsmedia]

Glad you guys are back, really hope things are improving for you. Stay safe and healthy!

[@BrendanExplores]

Wow guys! Praying for your safety 🙏 loving the adventures and I'm planning on travelling with my vlog in 2021👍

[@SCP-049.4]

Good luck dude🙏

[@BrendanExplores]

[@billrudgard8101]

Glad you have made this far home, despite Ben being in the wars! Take care and stay safe.

[@athaocity]

I am concerned for the three of you and many others in your shoes. Stay vigilant! There are many of us rooting for the best of your family! 🙏🏼 am glad to see the uploads!

[@rickmackenzie8488]

When Leah mentioned the rocks and wanting to collect them, first thing I thought of was from from the old movie Long, Long Trailer where Lucille Ball collects hundreds of rocks as they travelled. haha

[@nomadicfoodie6286]

Mail them home, sea mail!

[@debmcc8854]

I remember that hahaha

[@guyontheinternet111]

Very nice to see the Kombi sleep on a beach again!!

[@chris537a]

Thank you for keeping the series going. we love watching it!!!

[@dearlyhuang]

God bless you all along the way your journey. Stay safe and stay healthy.

[@stezman60]

Brings back a lot of memories travelling that route many years back around Cabo passing the water fill up at the top and down thro Moj;a.. good luck for the rest of the journey..

[@jenno9799]

Big big thank you for sharing the part with your dog's I was looking for information as to how difficult it may be to travel with pets!!! Naturally I will do my own research...it helps though

[@omalo3645]

So sorry about your eye and head, eat Turmeric or take capsules to keep infections at bay. I was scheduled for a root canal when the pandemic hit. Can you imagine living with an abscess tooth for months!? I took mega doses of turmeric and now I may wait until January because it does not hurt and it will be much cheaper! (USA healthcare). I like the new intro, Leah is as lovely as ever, Ben you can do anything and its fun but Alaska, bring that darting clip back! its her signature scramble! The run along was so fun too! This video was pandemicly exquisite, except I feel bad for Ben's well being.

[@KombiLife]

Alaska’s Clíp will be back one day

[@MaggieHessYoga]

Alaska is definitely my main reason for following Kombi Life.

[@daveadriffield7296]

Just discovered your channel; I like your style. I nearly skipped it by because there's loads of van life floggers; even more now cause of the pandemic. At first viewing yours is different. The dog and the medical ailments make it unique, keep more gruesome lumps and bumps coming; you’re onto a winner combo, or should I say kombi. Subscribed, stay safe.

[@KombiLife]

Can’t promise one every week but I will do what I can 😁

[@shellyb2042]

You guys have had a rough time during all this but atleast you are strong enough to handle it comparing your journey to eamon and becs its soo crazy how hard it's been for you guys!! God bless you and I hope you make it home safely!!

[@hectorarroyoburgos848]

So long since hear from you! This is getting better and better. Blessings!

[@markc7099]

Great to hear from you guys, looks like an interesting few weeks you’ve had, best of health to all three of you. 🙏

[@TheTravellersCookeBook]

Good to see you were cultivating a new brain ... always useful mate :) As always fantastic storytelling ...

[@TimKirkmt]

Lockdown can be a stressful experience for everyone and we all react in different ways. I suspect your recent medical issues are stress related. But no doubt some time out by the beach helped, oh and eat loads of fruit too!! Safe travels guys....

[@alisamehmal7234]

I am so excited to watch this. New season, new episodes. 👍🏽💙 Been thinking about you guys, hope you are well, healthy, together and safe 🙏🏽 Ok... Now I'm going to watch 😉 ♥️🇨🇦

Welcome back guys another great production looking forward to the next one 🤙

There's ben talking about how it feels like his brain has been pulverised by doctor cystsqueeze and Leah is in the background trying to stifle a laugh🤣🤣 perfect couple 👌🏽😂

[@eriktoomet]

Oh my god, Ben. You are so unlucky with these health problems. I know it's in the past already but get better! :D

[@fastinradfordable]

That infection is scary. I have gotten blood poisoning at least 4 times. Once my toe hurt like crazy. I went to doctor who said it was broken. Few days later a red line coming from my toe. It was infected. Once I went barefoot walking in beach. Stepped on a. Tiny tiny shell fragment that I didn’t feel, but ended up giving me blood poisoning in my heel. When I came back was marching band camp. That hurt so bad.

[@djahant]

That's it! He is not allowed out of the van until you reach Europe! LOL Wrap him in bubble wrap. Hope you get there soon.

[@eleanorheptinstall5354]

The basalt rock sample looks to have a ropey texture - commonly referred to by its Hawaiian name Pa hoe hoe, with a somewhat lumpy texture below maybe where it's had minor weathering. The south of Spain has a lot of rocks from the former ocean that once spanned between Europe and Africa, from parts of oceanic crust (like the sample you were holding) to sections of sulphur-rich oceanic crust-upper mantle - around the area of the Rio Tinto, stretching Eastwards from the Portuguese border.

[@eleanorheptinstall5354]

My best guess with the second sample (with the tube-like structure) is that the lava running through the next upper layer cooled slowly (below a thin easily eroded, but insulating crust) - the remaining lava has been eroded away leaving the more resistant tube-like structure, alternatively, it may be a 'micro lava tube' that ran through a layer of sediment immediately above the Pa hoe hoe layer below - fusing with it.

Thanks for the love Marcela :)

Since you are posting, going to assume you are in safe place already, so stay safe and well. I was supposed to be in Europe right now, didn't happen, one of the guys I was supposed to travel with was stuck in India! May by next year we'll get back to something like normal and we can all get back out on the road! 2020 is a bust...

fantastic! can you share what camera you used for 360 video?

[@tetra4411]

I keep a magnet around for when I get small metal filings in my eyes. Wrap the magnet in a paper towel and go over the eye.

[@KombiLife]

I was considering doing the same thing, but didn't want it to rip through the Iris.

I'll take that bet

[@happyscubadiverinca6856]

What kind of camera are you using? Is the base electric with a remote? It keeps swiveling and zooming without either of you physically moving it. Can you do a video or explain it? I'm very intrigued.

Yikes. My partner had a cyst like that when we were travelling through the USA in 2018. I had to squeeze the puss out of it daily. It was like cottage cheese. At least Leah didn't have to do that!
