Greetings from S. Wis. USA. I found your channel late tonight and am binge watching, I've had a smile on my face the whole time. You two are adorable!! I'm so glad I found you! I so needed this break from everything going on over here, so I feel like I'm on a wonderous vacation. You two crack me up. Funny and adorable. lol

[@UrbanVanlife]

Hi Pamela thank you so much for the comment it’s put a huge smile on our faces and made us feel we made a difference . Our motto is even if we make one person happy or cheer up some ones day then we have done good . And we have a lot of American friends so we know what you’re talking about . It’s nice to step out of the norm and go to a place that’s new some times . Again thank you so much for your comment we appreciate you very much ( Neil ) I bet you get a reply off Emma as well . Hers will be much nicer lol . 💕

[@UrbanVanlife]

Hiya Pamela, I see Neil beat me to it, it’s not often he comments before me, thank you so so much for taking the time to comment and also thank you for watching us, life can be a bit of a downer sometimes and things out of our control can tend to take over, so I genuinely can’t thank you enough for saying we helped to put a smile on your face, it really means the world! That being said you have also put a big fat smile on both of our faces as we have both always said if we can have a positive impact on even one person life is good!! Sending massive hugs from us to you ♥️♥️🐾🐾

[@chrisbroadley1928]

I say it regular but it’s so true, you guys really do crack me up. Since my dad passed in 2022 we’ve had me now 80yr old mam living with us who’s not very good on her pins and whose memory is going now too. To say it’s stressful at times would be an understatement but tuning into your videos on a night before going to sleep often brightens what sometimes has been a tough day so I’d like to say from me n the wife big THANKS. You don’t know when your putting these videos out who’s gunna be watching them or what they’re feeling and you two just being so funny and down to earth really does lift. Back to this video, your drone footage I agree is some of if not the best I’ve seen of yours so far, lovely scenery as is a great deal of southern island. Did you ever get to or will you be able to before you leave go to Waterford? That’s the place where the glass stuff comes from! Used to have a museum at the factory there, I don’t know if they still do but the area around there is lovely too. Take care look forward to the next one. And, once again, thanks guys. 👍🫶🏻

[@UrbanVanlife]

Wow what a comment. Firstly thank you for your kind words, we have always said if we can make just one person smile it’s worth it and hearing this has genuinely touched us both, you never do know what someone else’s day is like, caring for another person can be a hard and draining thing no matter how much you love that person it can still take a toll personally, especially when they are losing their memory at times, (emma here). I have worked in and around people who have had dementia and Alzheimer’s, mental health issues over the years and have seen first hand how difficult it is for the families and loved ones and the people caring for them, even been attacked once or twice by elderly people who where not in good health whilst working with them so know all too well some of the challenges ♥️♥️♥️

[@charliegould5865]

One of the problems is those food concession stands are probably paying a fortune to be there. I went to the Goodwood revival recently, it’s the same thing burgers, pizzas, fish and chips and drinks all at ridiculous prices. I’ve never been to Glendalough, even though my Irish girlfriend lived just down the road between Rathdrum and Avoca. We were always going to go, but sadly cancer took her away before we got round to it. But she told me it was an absolutely beautiful place.

[@UrbanVanlife]

(Emma here) Firstly we are so sorry for your loss, cancer has taken loved ones from my life and it’s a horrendous disease that has affected so so many. Secondly thank you for commenting and taking the time to share something so personal with us ♥️

[@geraldinemccormick8635]

You seem to have missed the round tower in glendalough. One of the iconic things about it. Also if you took the walk from the lake at the right hand side up and around you would have had a more gradual climb and came back via the waterfall. Lovely hike that way.

[@UrbanVanlife]

We didn’t do all of the walks as Raven our littlest pup can only walk so long on lead as she is still growing but we fully intend on returning when we head back over those ways as this was a stunning place!

Glendalough was a monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. Only monks are buried in that graveyard which is why there aren't loads of graves. Nice drone footage. You should ask the tourist board if they want to buy it.

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Your best drone footage ever NO its not you have done a lot better in the past. I did like the reflection in the water drone shot that was very good. The reason the food and drink charge so much is because they have been charged a premium to set up there and they need to make it back. So the only winner is the land owner. The ice creams did look lovely though. We are loving seeing Ireland you are really selling it. And to finish on Greg's special cheese and beans well. 😜 Stay safe guys see you on the next one. Michael & Kim

[@UrbanVanlife]

I think for us it’s the best drone footage because it was so calm and still and quiet and we loved the area so much, it’s not often you get the right conditions to get a glass lake etc, but Ireland for us has just been absolutely stunning and we have made some amazing memories and met some wonderful people, genuinely can’t wait to get back over and explore more!

It’s down to the fact that the place you are at charges them so much to have their stands there they have to charge the prices to make a living

It’s a shame for them and having been in hospitality for years I get it to a degree, but we would have spent more if they where more reasonably priced as we absolutely loved the area, it was stunning, we also get that a place like that takes a lot of money for upkeep, and it was extremely well maintained, but as Neil said if you are taking a family there it soon adds up. As it was we spent around 35 euros on ice creams and coffee’s and Neil got some fries, plus the 15 euro to park in the day and then 10 euro to stay over night, so for a family it would be a lot more as Neil said.

It is sad how expensive everything is becoming, the hospitality industry is really struggling across the board because of it, part of the reason I came out of the bars as no matter how much work and time and effort you put in some new issue would pop up and knock you back down in a different way! Yes there are successes but for small independent’s it getting harder and harder, I was working 70 plus hours a week to keep my staff bill down towards the end of my time in the bars, and finding other hours for my staff in different bars so they still had a wage coming in, but it’s just not sustainable or good for your health 🥲

[@wilburytwist6683]

Sadly is the high rent for the pitch that forces the traders to charge high prices. I spoke to a guy who had a burger van pitch at Creamfields once, He had paid £10,000 for a weekend pitch. 😱 So its built in to the prices.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yeah festivals are well known to hike prices on pitches there really should be some way of monitoring it for people

[@30DayReviews]

that drone footage! dang man!! you sure you didn't use a 3rd company for those shots? lol with parking being 15$ wonder what the church rental would be...

[@UrbanVanlife]

😂😂😂 bet Neil wishes there was a third party having to get up at 5 am! And how much could they really charge for a wedding venue with no roof 😂😂

[@30DayReviews]

@UrbanVanlife lol yea 5am is early but looks like it was well worth it. and I think you may be suprised what they would charge after all the place has been in the making for 1000 years lol

[@UrbanVanlife]

I dread to think 😂😂😂

There is a probability that the traders actually have to pay a significant fee for the pitch and that is why they are allowed or need to charge more - just saying

[@UrbanVanlife]

We get that to a degree but we spent around 35 euro’s on ice cream and coffee’s and Neil got some fries, as we do like to try and support places we visit, also 15 euros to park in the day and then an extra 10 euro for the night time (which was great for the location) but that was a lot for just 2 people if you have a family it would soon add up as Neil said, we get that special places like this take a lot of money to upkeep but maybe the authority’s should try not to over charge the vendors so the people visiting would spend more helping out the vendors also

[@backontwowheels9469]

@@UrbanVanlife yes valid points, a bit like going to the motorway services 🤣

[@UrbanVanlife]

Now your taking it to a whole new rabbit hole 😂😂😂 been stung many a time at one of those 😂😂😂

[@bigdavoc1]

well you never factored in the pitch fee's... the traders probably have to pay a lot for the pitch fee.. So yes they ingredients and staff costs are the same but the lease fee for the pitch site are possibly high...

[@UrbanVanlife]

Higher than Liverpool city centre London or Belfast . Some how I don’t think so as well . The problem you have is pure greed .

[@UrbanVanlife]

Emma here, having worked in the hospitality industry for 25 years plus, I understand pitch fees, insurances, licensing, business expenses etc the list goes on but all of that aside the bottom line is 8.50 for some bread and cheese is expensive, no matter how you look at it, and for a family it would be even more expensive, as it was we spent over the odds for coffees, ice cream and some fries as also it was expensive we like to contribute when we visit places and with day and night time parking fees we spend over 50 euros closer to 60 so for us and for many others it’s too expensive

[@bigdavoc1]

The local council charges high rates to have a pitch so the vendors have to raise their prices to make a profit. So it is not always the vendor being greedy.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Once again councils doing damage, we understand people have bills to pay and areas need maintaince and but it’s happening everywhere you go and it genuinely makes people spend less which isn’t fair on the vendors, the hospitality industry as a whole is been made to suffer, have seen it in the bars in Liverpool first hand

[@davehara1955]

So sorry about the rip off merchants. Hope it didn't spoil your experience of Ireland 🇮🇪

[@UrbanVanlife]

Not at all we will be exploring much more of Ireland! We love the people and the epic scenery, unfortunately prices are going up everywhere and it’s only really hurting the hospitality industry we saw it first hand in the bars in Liverpool whilst working in them.

[@johnc3403]

The tourist traps know how to fleece people alright, but you'll get that anywhere. A couple of Ice Cream boats on the shores of Lake Garda will cost you €12 too.

[@UrbanVanlife]

True comment been to Italy a few times different places, love Lake Garda and always found the price can massively vary depending on where you chose to eat!

[@Pootz1000]

Unfortunately, traders charge a lot because they have to rent a space to put their business off the land owner which is usually extortionate. It's the land owner that's at fault

[@UrbanVanlife]

It’s a shame for them as we would have probably spent 3 x what we did if it was cheaper, land owners are making a fair bit as we had paid out twice for parking also (day rate and night rate as we stayed overnight) but again we get that a special place like that takes a lot of maintenance, but maybe the landowners should help the vendors out more

[@tomcorrigan6929]

My favourite channel on KZbin hope you enjoyed Ireland any plan's on cumming back

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yes we have so much more to see as we have left the whole of the bottom off, but next time we plan to spend much longer as we don’t want to rush it ♥️♥️

[@seeker1432]

Got to say that i feel the same . The more they can get away with, The less they have to work in preperation and also save in cost and ingediance. We shouldnt have to acceot it and yes my Girlfriend thinks im Victor Meldrew for Moaning.

[@UrbanVanlife]

It’s happening everywhere at the moment prices are rising but wages aren’t matching accordingly it’s a shame!
