But I'll really be happy to see them when they get uploaded. Going to try your easy leek and potatoe soup this weekend!

Iw known people, now passed on, who survived Auschwitz and other concentrationcamps during the WW2. Iw heard stories that are difficult to impossible to fathom about these places. More than anything, I am soo grateful that I have been in a generation that have not had war on my doorstep. To every one that took the step towards a United Europe, you have my eternal gratitude. My loveliest van voyagers,, thanks for the time and work you are putting down in these beautiful films. As always,, Cheers, Huge Hugs, take care and muuuuuch luv from the South East of Sweden,, 🍻🥰😎👍‍‍! ( A BADAS shop,,, cant argue with that, huh,, 🤣)

It's always good to see nice people who spend time in my country. Most foreigners are going to Kraków, Auschwitz while they probably forget that we have other, I think beautiful places to watch. If you'll be in Poland next time, you can travel to the east side of Poland, for example to Bialowieża forest. Thanks for your video! :)

I can help you with the Decathlon SUPS. Packed up, looks like a big rucksack/ began. So, about 30 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. The Paddle - Raise your arm fully in the air, and thst is how long you need to adjust your Paddle too. Stat off kneeling if you've not done it before. Shorten the Paddle too for this. Feet, shoulder width apart. Same with knees at first. 10ft 6 is a good length for open water/seas. Longer for touring.

This reminds me of when I visited Dachau and also Hiroshima. They have a certain atmosphere. There’s something eerie about it when you realise that so much evil was inflicted upon innocent people. When I was in Hiroshima particularly, and I’d finished looking around the museum where things like a young girl’s ruined school uniform, a kid’s tricycle and other things that had belonged to ordinary innocents like you and I, I sat by a statue of a mother shielding her child with her own body from the blast and I’m not ashamed to admit that broke me. Even thinking about it now brings tears. Humans do such cruel things to each other

When I saw Schindler's List it really hit home but nothing could prepare me for what I saw at Auschwitz when I visited a number of years ago and can fully understand why you stopped filming. You captured what you did very well and we must never forget!! Your vlogs so far have been great and I always look forward to watching them. Here's to more fun and happy times.

Oh, I LOVE potato leek soup! Only I make it by boiling my potatoes with the herbs I feel like using, then mashing the potatoes with a standing mixer and add in the leeks last. Sometimes, if I have leftovers from a previous meal, I also add in fish. May sound strange, but it tastes terrific!

Hi John & Mandy, Really enjoying following you on your travels and finding out all the ins and outs of travelling abroad fantastic, one question John did you ever experience a problem with dashboard instrument cluster, I have different lights come on buzzer sounds check breaks check passenger air bag all different combinations all momentarily the same thing happened on my last van so I was just wondering is it just a fault with the Fiat Ducato. If anyone would know it would be you. Anyway stay safe on your travels. Kind regards Noel
@johnmandy
@johnmandy 3 жыл бұрын
We have some random dim warning lights on when the cruise control is on, try turning the cruise stalk switch on & off to see if that’s the same issue, it’s a Fiat recall so you should be able to get it fixed easily.

Great video as always, I was shocked how prices have gone up. My X and I went to Krakow for the Christmas market about 5 years ago we flew from Leeds had a 8 bedroom apartment just for the two of us. We got the deal out of a paper total cost each was £60 that’s flights and apartments. We found it hard to spend money there, when I heard you say €20 a night I was dumbfounded, or am I just DUMB not sure lol. Thanks for sharing, I think you filming with angles of camera and editing has improved so much since I first watched your videos so credit to you very high quality. Thanks again Ray K UK YNWA.

How have you found the various campsites and stop offs, trial and error or mega planning
@johnmandy
@johnmandy 3 жыл бұрын
We try not to plan anything in advance, the legal aspects of our travels are covered, but day to day routes evolve as we go. So finding campsites, water points etc. is done a day before we need them. Wild parkups we find as we drive, or we might have an idea of a parkup along our route. Our idea is to see more of the real countries we travel within, so we don't take motorways, we only stay on campsites to allow us to show you examples of campsites within the countries. Most of the campsites we have used we have shown in our videos, with more detail than i could write here.

Hi, Another great informative video. One question though, regarding your netgear router. Do you buy a sim,with unlimited data,for each country you visit, and how do you know which provider to buy from? Thank you.

Hi John, is there a law that you have to have a dog buckled in when travelling in a motor home do you know? I’m planning on a big European roadtrip next year but I have 2 dogs. I can’t find much on it 👍

@johnmandy 3 жыл бұрын
It’s in the Highway Code that your dogs must be restrained when travelling so they can’t distract you - it’s worth a google for that to see. We always use a seat belt tether and harness for Coop when we’re driving as he can be a bit of a knob 😁😂
