European Road Trip BEGINS! - Vintage Car / Airplane Festival (Brussels to Diest, Belgium)

[@BellaDiary]

That man was the absolute sweetest and I love that you went to speak to him and hear his story of the history of the plane festival x

[@H312l1na]

Love the bought a car bit, Allison, never stop 😂

[@jenniferwhite746]

Your accommodations are beautiful. It is called post and beam wood work. My husband is a master at it. He was a ' Head Sawyer ' at a sawmill for 28 years. The timbers in your accommodations are all hand sawed and probably a few hundred years ago. I love your vlogs. Safe travels. Love from Canada.

[@susannortham11.11]

Love when you talk to the locals. He was sweet.

[@xpswebstar420]

100% agree. Hope to see more interviews with locals in the future.

[@johnsymons76]

Loved your interview with the local man who discussed some of the history of the airfield. Hope you will do more interviews like this. Quite interesting and enjoyable.

[@im_so_bored3896]

guys if you're in Belgium you should go visit Brugge - gorgeous medieval city - and Oostende - cute seaside town with one of the most beautiful beaches i've ever seen!

[@addie_midwife]

Really enjoyed that interview with the local man!

[@ronrose2322]

Excited for the road trip-always enjoy these. Never stop saying We Bought a New Car !!

[@NirVANaTrip1]

Never say never. You can have anything you want (land rover) if you just believe. You guys have an amazing life. Manifest whatever else you want!

[@gemmacorinne9487]

Love you guys! I’ve only been watching for the last few months, but I get super excited every time a new video goes up and I’m never disappointed. Trying to fit in some of your back catalogue of videos as and when I can. Life is an endless adventure!

[@01071962jh]

Jupiler...the best grocery store beer! The language spoken in Flanders is Flemish (not Dutch). Love you guys!

[@joanhall3718]

I love when you connect with locals. Anytime you are allowed to include interviews with local people who are passionate about their town, history, or just a unique story, include it in your vlogs. Those connections take the story from fun to exceptional.

[@calichef1962]

This was very fun to watch! Belgium looks like a great place to visit and the people there seem wonderfully friendly.

[@chucklewis6838]

Eric seems to like red cars. You guys are doing a great job and the fine tuning keeps getting better and better. Love the increased histories and back stories.

[@seamusm84]

In Belgium is well worth the trip over the border to Holland Amsterdam and Rotherdam amazing cities to see.

[@utraffic]

Love your content, always entertaining

[@brumsgrub8633]

The small British cars are great

[@paulamatthey9878]

Interview more locals that is such a great add!

[@ChelsIsTheName]

Good explanation of the geography of Belgium! The only fact I want to share is about the region Brussels. Brussels is actually a 2-language region. A lot of People speak French, but you also can find Dutch people in Brussels ;) for example the streetnames in Brussels are always written in French and Dutch. Also there are a lot of flemish and wallon People who commute everyday to Brussels (as am I) to work or study, so it's easier for Brussels to be bilingual. PS. Love your channel and this Belgium vlog! Hope to see you soon in the lovely region of Limburg!

[@benemm5392]

Great trip guys! Looks like a ton of fun!

[@patrickbrookings]

So cool to see you in my home country! Hope you had a great time there, and I look forward to seeing you guys get wasted with the beer video, lol :D

[@FreedomStrider]

I love these sorts of events, so rustic feeling and great people :)

[@bt5080]

As usual, you hit it out of the park! So good to see out-of-way p places! As one comment said, love when you speak to the locals, it gives such a homey feel.

[@fredk3710]

12:10 Ooooh, that's tricky! In Dutch we often say "Bier na wijn, geeft venijn", which could be translated as "Beer after wine means headache, not fine". It's better to start with beer, 'cause "Wijn na bier, geeft plezier" (Wine after beer, will make you cheer)

[@RalphBellairs]

Have you considered visiting Skagen in the far northern tip of Denmark? You can see where 2 seas meet! I'm guessing it would be the kind of place that you guys would appreciate. 😎

[@cristinastelea2863]

Hey guys, Luxembourg expats here. We have been watching your channel for some time now and it's super cool that you are finally coming to this tiny country. Have fun!

[@sailingavocet]

Can we sail there by chance? lol! Looks amazing!

[@MoreToDiscoverRemi]

Aaaah Ryanair the most uncomfortable planes ever:D

[@Alun49]

I really liked the interview and think that would be a marvellous addition to your videos now and then. The last time I was actually drunk was in Brussels, around twenty years ago. My brother and I were staying overnight with a friend of his after driving back from a trip to Poland, Slovakia, Hungry and Romania. I only had four beers! Belgian beer is lethal! I hope you both moderated your intake as it is SO easy to get drunk on that stuff!

[@dragonmac1234]

As I started watching the video I looked at the European road trip title and "we bought a car" popped into my head, a few seconds later Allison said the same thing. I know you two so well now ;-)

[@kalelsmith]

Simply... Love you guys.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Looks a lovely little place. Love your videos, I find them so chilled and relaxed

[@SweetHopeCookies]

European Road Trip! I am so ready! Let’s do this!

[@Loraine680]

In Brussel they speak both languages. Dutch and french.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Yes we do love a European road trip! 😁

[@antontheislander13]

You guys are hilarious. Prepping for a trip to Belgium and came across your channel. Lots of good content. ❤

[@1rubberduck]

Awesome video! The church in the centre of DIest is called the Sint-Sulpitius & Dyonisiuschurch and its carillon tower has the shape of a classic mustard pot. That's also why the residents of Diest have the nickname "mustard shitters". I'm not even kidding. Have a nice day! Keep up the great vlogs!

[@EileensWanderlust]

Great to see you back in Belgium! 🇧🇪

[@vintagemoss9578]

Another fantastic video. Your content is spot on. I really love how you take the time to show us your accommodation and the places you see, along with the food and drink local to the area. Very enjoyable to watch. 😄

[@limpfishyes]

Great video! And you almost made it without showing us your food. And then just briefly. Sadly I've been skipping your videos since they became a chronical of what you happen to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe old endless adventure are back?

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

Fab video guys! We really want to go to Belgium and do a road trip around Belgium and The Netherlands. It's high on our list! Ooohhhh we're not really car buffs either but we went to a little car show last weekend and fell in love with all the old mini's (we drive a new model Mini but would love to have a classic!). So cool you got to hear some insider info on the history of the airfield too. Really interesting!

[@saskiapanter]

Once you do I hope you both have a great time in the Netherlands👍

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

@@saskiapanter Thank you! Can't wait!

[@claverhouse1]

I hate to break it to you but De Loreans are very much European - built in Northern Ireland ;)

[@revidual]

Now built in America from original spare parts.

[@claverhouse1]

@@revidual Still doesn't make it American. Most of the American cars you see there will have been renovated or remade in Europe from original US parts - doesn't make them European either ;)

[@DeLoreanDMC]

Office was in Detroit. So on paper it was American.

[@DeLoreanDMC]

Now tell me what parts your fords and chevys are made from? A Toyota is more American nowadays....

[@dcanmore]

@@DeLoreanDMC Technically it was a US company funded by the British Government to build cars in Northern Ireland based on a Lotus chassis, Italian styling and using French engines and transmissions.

[@andyhinkle2336]

Jupiler! Great beer!!🤓

[@ThomasBinkley]

As others have said, DeLoreans were a N.I. product. Also, No red ones were manufactured. If you see one it's been in an accident as that "grey" you mentioned is brushed aluminum. Can't hide dents without paint.

[@DeLoreanDMC]

You are fake news... not every painted delorean had an accident!

[@guyshiboleth1342]

Another amazing video much love from Tel Aviv, Israel.

[@drhughes_yt7604]

I hope you have a good trip. I'm hoping to vlog a road trip around Europe next year. This is definitely an inspiration for me.

[@Mellemskov_acres]

Try and get to Eben Emael while in Belgium! The only open the underground fortress part on certain days - we missed it when we went - but even just walking the area and stumbling across the look out areas was so much fun. The history in the place is incredible. Def worth looking into!

[@Fuchs7456]

A beginner's guide to Dutch/Flemish pronunciation - the initial "g" is pronounced like the "ch" in Scottish "loch" - so Groote Markt ["Great Market/Grand Market"] is like "Chroote Markt". The hard initial "g" is sometimes softer in Belgian pronunciation, so it sounds more like "Hroote Markt" than Chroote Markt". Tourist guides in Amsterdam sometimes wind up their guests by suggesting that they try pronouncing: "Amsterdam heeft acht en tachtig prachtige grachten" - "Amsterdam has 88 beautiful canals".....erm...if you don't want to spit after saying that, you're either (a) Dutch/Belgian or (b) not normal. Keep up the good work, you folks! Cheers, Keith (Brit in Berlin)

[@jayinla310]

Your accomodation look fantastic. And that Opel you are driving is amazing. I wish they sold them here. I hope you looked at the Mustang. If it was German it was marketed as a G5 or G6, not Mustang and I believe through Opel.

[@Phronsias1]

Great video guys, my favourite part of Europe, cant wait to see more.

[@RkaurVlogs]

Great video Europe is Beautiful ❤️❤️ 👍 👍

[@angiehogan7718]

What a lovely place you are staying in. Have fun guys x

[@EricIrl]

Pity the weather wasn't great. I bet the number of visiting aircraft was affected by that. Nice to see an old Stampe biplane at the start. They were used as trainers by the Belgians and some other air forces. They are similar to the British Tiger Moth.

[@TiaandAndy]

Oh a European road trip should be loads of fun!! Looks like you've already had a great start. Those little cars are soooo cute. Very interesting information about a fly in, kind of crazy that nothing is really organized and people can just come and go as they please. Can't wait to see the next one!

[@TapeCollageForEloise]

By sheer coincidence I picked up a lovely sour Flanders red ale from the beer shop earlier so I am enjoying that while watching. And then you guys start talking about a beer market! I'm from the UK but I sure do love my Belgian beer. Way back in the 2000's before the craft beer boom I was introduced to Belgian beers by a local bar that was a favourite hangout spot with my friends. They had a really great Belgian beer menu and it was such a world away from the crappy generic lager that was so popular at the time that it blew my mind.

[@rheostar]

My wife had a Mini for her first car. They were so much fun to drive. Looks like you certainly enjoyed the wine. 😉

[@ArabianLady]

So informative and fun!

[@Drew-nv1op]

Would love to see you guys in a 70 series land cruiser! They aren't overly expensive to import.

[@louis5904]

my grand parents live in diest

[@fashionxhappiness]

Brussels is actually officially bilingual French-Dutch, although the majority of inhabitants does speak French. We also have a third official language- German! And as you’ve probably noticed we all speak English as well. We do know our languages haha! If you’re still in Belgium, definitely head over to Leuven (really close to Diest). It’s a university city and the home of the oldest catholic university in the world. There’s also a UNESCO world heritage town hall that will blow your mind and plenty of interesting historical facts. Also lots of good food places. Another good place to visit is Dinant, located in the southern French speaking region. A beautiful town alongside a river with cute and colourful buildings and a citadel on hill. I hope you enjoy your time in my country 🇧🇪

[@georgeofthejungle5999]

Welcome back to Europe!

[@2eleven48]

You've kind of changed your approach. It's informative and interesting and engaging. I hate the promotional element; please stop that. Watching this video, it's just like the 'old' Alison and Eric have come back again.

[@nohana2003]

It was so nice to meet you guys at the beer market in Diest!

[@chercare200]

You guys are my favorite KZbinrs, thank you!!

[@sailingavocet]

dang! What makes them your favorite, if you don't mind us asking?

[@chercare200]

@@sailingavocet, there are many things that I enjoy about Allsion and Eric's channel: their interrations, their sense of humor, the fact that they both add something to the channel, and one is not more in charge than the other it seems, the information they provide, and so much more. I've seen way too many KZbinrs change and not for the better as they grow, and that makes me turn away from the channel.

[@sailingavocet]

Cher Care thanks for sharing! It’s good info and could also help our channel as we grow. Cheers!

That's so funny that you started off with talking about why Allison does most of the driving. I was just sitting here thinking about asking why, and then all of a sudden like you were reading my mind you told the story LOL

[@zoemorrison07]

I got such a surprise! I thought you guys were still in Sweden 🇸🇪!! But I’m happy to see you in Belgium and then heading back to Sweden. I’m excited for the road trip you guys will be doing, as at this time of year Autumn hits, and it’s stunning in these places, especially with their architecture! 🍂🍁🥰 the gentleman who explained everything at the airfield was so sweet! Bless him! 💗 it looked like a lot of fun to explore, and see, looking forward to the road trip, and the beer drinking!! 🍻

[@barber0611]

very cool....you guys rock

[@PortlyTravellers]

Oh how adventurous...lol it's in your name. We are trying our very first foreign road trip in 2 months. Will be interesting to see where to drive to.

If you can get to the John Monash Centre in northern France, it’s a newish interactive WW1 memorial. I think you will find it interesting and moving.

Welcome to Belgium! Hope your having a great time in our country. Look out with the Belgium beers especially the strong ones and don’t get caught up in the end with a hangover :p small note: in Brussels they also spreak dutch/flemish and even English is considered as a official language.

[@goingplaces1860]

Great vlog, y’all!

[@studionickyjacobs]

Welcome to Belgium 😊

[@SeanHendy]

Fun fact, I'm British but most of my relatives either hold dual British and Belgian nationality/citizenship, or are Belgian. The language spoken (other than French) whilst very similar in most respects to Dutch, is Flemish though, even if Dutch and Flemish speakers can communicate 100%. Difficult to think of another such example where the languages are so similar. Having been the site of World War I and II, it's no surprise that many of the towns and villages in Flanders and the surrounding area, were massively damaged during the wars, especially during WWI. So much so, that in some cases the entire square and surrounding buildings were completely levelled. Once the war was over, using photographs and records, some were rebuilt as they had been before the war, so they look much older than they actually are.

[@WanderingSoulsWebzine]

Nice video. I am looking forward to the next one. Wijn is pronounced as wine. Only the i sound is a bit shorter. So wijnbar becomes winebar. So no difficulty for you guys there.

Hi Guys, nice Video of my home town. I live in Diest (Schaffen) can see the paratroopers jump from my garden (and hope every shute goes open) To bad the weather was so bad this year. Next time, try to fly along with the helicopter to get a better view of the city and surroundings. If you can, and have Facebook, try to get some more background information about the city there, and even more pictures to find from the fly in. it's a group called "ge zijt van schaffen als ge". feel free to jump in. thanks for this video, looking forward to the Beervideo ;-)

[@2007sofia]

Guys! Why don’t you come to Bulgaria :) You are very welcome and you can count with a fan of your videos showing you around.

[@BOBSCOTTONLINE]

SO CLOSE - Belgium has 2 official languages French and FLEMISH ( to be fair it is a Dutch dialect but much more than an accent like we'd have in different regions in the states.) The north is Flanders (Flemish speaking) and the south Wallonia (French speaking) and Brussels being the capital and somewhat central, officially uses both (like most of the country.)
