"Sangwiches" can be eaten at any time of the day or night Campbell. 😊 I'm with Gemma on this one. Looking forward to all the coming adventures. Safe travels.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thanks 😂

[@ScotChick360]

you can absolutely have a baguette for dinner, no different to having a wrap lol!

[@keithscott1480]

If you ever get a quarter window broke again write this down all glass plant glazing perth they will help you out

[@banzaipinball]

We have sandwiches for dinner, nice with chips and salad, points to Gemma.

[@bertkelly7650]

I've learned to eat whatever the wife makes if she cooks. That could be a yes or no. Thanks for your video!

[@raymonddickson8937]

Yes sandwich for lunch most days with some crisps lovely and we are in Spain

[@diannemorgan3541]

Yes you can . Enjoy

[@andrewnewsome]

Hi Gemma & Campbell. Love your channel. I think I noticed in this vid (21:40) that you have 2 calor gas bottles in your gas locker. As this is your first time taking Ellie into Europe, I wondered if you were aware that you cannot exchange calor gas bottles outside the UK, and the gas bottles you can get in Europe require a different connector (pig-tail). We only discovered this ourselves on our first longer european tour, when we ran out of gas!! Our answer to this problem was to get a refillable gas bottle. LPG is more readily available in Europe than in the UK, and is cheaper too (MUCH cheaper than calor!!) Hope you're OK and have a great trip.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah this turned out to be a big problem 😂 got it sorted now though! Ended up having to buy a new system over here

[@andrewnewsome]

@@highlands2hammocks Sorry that you, like us, had to find out the hard way!! Glad it's sorted now.

[@neilcampbell4786]

Hi folks, you’ll love the Algarve, long drive but worth we’ll worth it.

[@highlands2hammocks]

We are loving it!

[@christine3358]

Absolutely sandwich for dinner. Campbell, sorry, you are wrong on so many levels! Hahaha

[@evergreensuk]

I had the same window blow in a work van in central France... My options were diy shop and a sheet of perspex and cut to shape and gorilla tape on, but I phoned the iveco dealer nearby and they had one on the shelf... Couldn't help with fitting but a tube of mirror adhesive a chisel and 30 minutes in the car park. The new window was installed temporarily taped on whilst the adhesive cured and I was off to my next drop..

[@highlands2hammocks]

That is a good idea! Luckily we managed to get it fixed for security reasons before we went on our road trip ☺️

[@biddiemutter3481]

What a beautiful stary night with less light pollution than the South of England!

[@docbarham2431]

Sandwiches for dinner are great 👍

[@andrewgarnham3398]

Have a safe journey through France keep safe 😀

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Andrew, you too!

[@000caro555]

Safe travels guys x

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you 😁

[@timjohnson67]

Well, every weekend I think you cannot be any more fun but you have done it again!! Love you guys, stay safe.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Tim 😁

[@terrymccormack262]

Good luck with your trip to southern Spain. Lovely part of the world. I'm originally from Falkirk, Scotland & have lived out here in Manilva, Spain for the past 7 years.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you! We are loving our time in the south 😁 so good for vanlife

[@stevepjackson]

Great update guys. Looking forward to the next one 👍

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks 😁

[@Tara_Louise]

hell yeh sandwich for dinner!!!

[@highlands2hammocks]

😁😁

[@vanlifeandfishing]

Sarnie for dinner yes yes yes any time of the day even breakfast

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thanks Graham!

[@hilarywallace9927]

What a bummer about your window - thank goodness you managed to get it sorted ! Looking forward to all your adventures to come

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Hilary 😁 hope you are enjoying them!

[@tomassanesson902]

So epik awesome video 👍👍❤❤❤

[@graftingdiamond6775]

Another great video thanks guys! My favourite meal is a baguette with fried halloumi, avocado and cherry tomatoes. Fry the halloumi and add some smoked paprika on both sides - then add a drizzle of honey and allow to fry until golden. This contrasted to the avocado and tomato is genuinely beautiful. Give it a try! So in short, very much team Gemma on this one!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you so much 😁 that sounds delicious!

[@blessedOne1320]

Yes you can a sandwich for dinner. My family and I do it all the time when we just are too tired to prepare a full meal.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha very true!

[@MartinKennedy636]

Is it expensive to take your camper over on the train who is the ferry cheaper? I've got to decide which I will take but I've got can't get hold of any prices. I've had a bit same size as yours and I wondered if you be kind enough to tell me how much it cost you to get across.

[@suzybeetravels]

Glad you got your window sorted before you left. France is great for park ups and free services, definitely better equipped over there for people travelling in vans. Enjoy Europe both, it's AMAZING! Spain is great but we absolutely LOVED Portugal 💜💕x

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks guys! The services are great 😁

[@keithramsay3340]

sandwiches are for any time its supposed to be a quick snack or depending on how many you have a meal....ish lol

[@highlands2hammocks]

Very true!

[@Faeley]

Sandwiches are definitely fine for dinner. Actually, in a pinch or if you are tired they are fantastic.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you! 😆

[@geecee8864]

Belated congratulations on your engagement, you both found a good heart. I'm glad to see you back out in the van doing vanlife, I'm looking forward to your euro series of vlogs. I like your food choices and appreciation and kindness to all other animals. Let's all be kind to every kind. ❤👍

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you so much 😁❤️ appreciate the support!

[@pumpkintree6438]

Definitely baguette and chips for tea 😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

True!!

[@karenclark-stapleton8107]

Always carry a piece perspex cut to window size wen travelling makes great back up if windows smashed

[@highlands2hammocks]

That’s a great idea 😁

[@TheBestSeazon]

Absolutely you can have sandwiches for dinner! And breakfast (eggs, toast, etc) for dinner! A wrap is basically a sandwich with a different kind of bread 😂

[@Mel.H_]

Totally agree!!

[@bearin29]

Hi Guys, FYI: In Italy hamburgers are considered panini, which means sandwich. I agree with Gemma, you can have baguettes or sandwiches anytime you like. Whenever you feel like eating it, you eat it. On another note: how much is the ticket for an RV and two people to take the Euro Tunnel??

[@highlands2hammocks]

That is very true! 😁 the Eurotunnel was about 150 each way

[@jayneboulton4672]

Campbell. What’s a sanGwich. Of course you can have a baguette for dinner. I would have one for breakfast if I could. I LOVE baguettes. Enjoy your trip and stay safe xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw come on 😂

[@sheisthelostgirl]

So glad we finally got to meet you guys!! You left me extremely inspired ❤ You guys are so amazing! Excited to continue following along with your European adventures 🎉

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww was so lovely to finally catch up in person 😁 can’t wait for our next meet-up! Safe travels you two ❤️

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM Burgers, fajitas, wraps, trad sangers.... all just breads with fillings. And I often have such for my evening meal, usually toasted - call it dinner if you wish... jus' sayin'... Safe travels ower yon channel! YAM xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Very true Yam! 😁😁

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Holy moley, not a good start, but so glad yiu hit the windows sorted. Lovely vlog, really well put together, your presentation is first class, well done.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah wasn’t as bad as we thought it was going to be thankfully ☺️ thanks guys!

[@guderian7795]

Another great video on a Sunday morning!. Enjoy France beautiful people! And please consider Canada as a future adventure destination as we would love to have you both visit Alberta and British Columbia. 🙂🍾🗼🌍

[@lesleycameron9132]

Sandwiches are a fabulous dinner! Especially when accompanied with chips ❤️

[@highlands2hammocks]

Oooh I do like chips 😆

[@toobydude41]

Oh man sorry for the window issue...that surely was a "pane" in the butt . (couldn't resist hehe). Seriously, glad you got it sorted. That Channel Tunnel never ceases to amaze me. The inside does give Star Wars vibes. Very cool van life friends get -together! So about having sandwiches for dinner...sorry Campbell...team Gemma here . lol For dinner the other night I had tuna fish sandwiches and also have ham and turkey the same way occasionally. But stoked for the adventures to come guys!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Nice pun 😆 thanks Scott!

[@stellaparker4142]

Baguettes any time of day! X

[@Kawalerka_na_kolkach]

That's curins looks so Polish ❤❤❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Very true!

[@andrewzi]

Hello Gemma and Campbell you will get used to Europe, stop worrying as France is incredible, we seem to carry what I call the “British mentality” where we fear the worst. I remember when we first came over to Europe and it took us awhile to realise how good Europe is.

[@estiefranks6468]

Sorry Campbell, sandwiches for dinner are great and very much allowed. 😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yes they are!

[@beverleybarclay7990]

Hi, I recently found your channel and I really like you guys. Sandwiches can be eaten anytime. I have eaten a lot Sandwiches for dinner. Grilled cheese are a great supper sandwich

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you very much Beverley it is lovely to meet you 😁

[@Alainemb]

Hahaha I’m with Gemma. Sandwiches should be enjoyed anytime 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha aw fair enough 😆

[@tamilarimer7690]

Sandwiches for dinner🥰

[@ipirrie6734]

Really looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. We are heading to Spain and Portugal soon. Noticed you still had Calor bottles, what are you going to do about gas in Europe? P S there's no G in Sandwich 🤣🤣

[@highlands2hammocks]

You are going to love it 😁 we did have problems with this and had to buy a new Spanish bottle which turned out to be very pricey! Try and get a refill system installed if you can

[@Secret_Squirrel_Scottishgamer]

If campbell takes off his glasses he could claim that Nick rekeita from Rekeita Law is his twin brother! 😂😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hahaha that’s a new one 😂

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

100% sandwiches for dinner! Sorry, Campbell! Gemma's right on this one. I also feel like whilst in France, there is really no wrong time to have a baguette 🥖😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha oh well looks like Ill need to covnert then

[@kimbuttress2904]

My ex wife is French. We would NEVER have a sandwich for dinner, might be okay at lunch with cheese and ham. We would however have a Baguette with the cheese and salad course at dinner, and some wine, there would always be wine with dinner

[@highlands2hammocks]

But the bread is so good 😍

[@susancooper2996]

Why not a sandwich for your tea as you say in Yorkshire, tonight was exactly that with a bowl of broth, you make do with what ever you have in the kitchen, sorry Campbell but if your hungry anything will do 😂😅

[@highlands2hammocks]

I must be the strange one then haha will need to convert

[@suzannewilson3365]

Baguettes anytime Campbell 😋😋

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha I may be converting as they are amazing!

[@MainSpaceGIGS]

What’s a Sangwhich? 🤪

[@highlands2hammocks]

😂😂

[@cherylkaye]

Totally on board with sandwiches for dinner or lunch. That being said if the baguettes are fresh, I'd happily just eat the baguette for dinner. Lol.

[@highlands2hammocks]

True the baguettes are very good here 😍

[@Abeyptfc]

Nice one Guys, I’m with Campbell though, you can’t have a sandwich for dinner! That’s a junkie’s dinner! Now you just need to sort out the veggie chicken!❤

[@wedrivetheworld]

Hi guys been watching for a while set google maps to avoid tolls it takes like an hour longer to get the south of Spain but it’s FREE drop me a line for any other tips I’ve driven all over europe

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah we have it set up now 😁 expensive lesson last week 🥲😂

[@Mel.H_]

Team Gemma! Absolutely can have sandwiches for dinner😁🤤🥰

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thanks!

[@BenFiorePhotography]

way hayyyy 'Bonjour everybody' hahahah

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha let’s go!!

[@Rmyvet]

Sandwiches are a midday lunch, snack to keep you going until you have your dinner

[@joemulgrew]

Did you visit Coffin Bay national park when in Australia.

[@highlands2hammocks]

We sure did! It was amazing 😁

[@karlmabe1649]

OK I have the same van as you the easiest way into it is through the habitation windows did you add any security to your windows ? Thanks Ps looking forward to seeing this trip

[@SBCBears]

I hope being an old married couple won't prevent you from continuing your cold water dips.

[@adrianmichell2751]

Burger bun or sandwich ? Where did he Google the Question ? France ! So the ladies correct there is no difference!🙂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you agree 😁

[@johnreal479]

Loving the channel, no you don't have sandwiches for dinner 😁

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you! 😆

[@wipqueen715]

Sandwiches for dinner!? Absolutely!! Have done it many many times

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha guess I am converted now!

[@iainwest3850]

When abroad do not tie your 2 front doors together for safety reasons. It has been known for thiefs to gas people through there vents for robbing people although they might not be able to get in know one will be able to get in to safe you two. It happens alot to British lorry drivers abroad. I don't mean to scare you but it does happen.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thats interesting I have never heard of that before

[@iainwest3850]

My brother in law is a lorry driver in Europe he told me

[@stewartgarbett2801]

Got to be a Plat de sur? Excuse my French. They’re served in all cafes & restaurants they’re cheap. Xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Ooooh sounds lovely! 😁

[@adrianmichell2751]

Donald where is your trousers !

[@edwardhoughton2565]

Does it matter don't war over silly things, peace my friends x

[@TheKaza64]

😅loved this but to settle the argument Campbell, happy wife , happy life so yes to the sandwich

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha aw come on! Very true though 😂

[@stowgood]

You can have a baguette for dinner.

[@debskeith]

You can definitely have a sandwich for dinner😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

Oh yes!

[@adrianmichell2751]

He is just after a whole Haggis instead of a sandwich!😃

[@ernie5291]

Defo no sandwich 🥪 for dinner???

[@highlands2hammocks]

I’ll have to try it then it seems 😆

[@jonburnell532]

Nowt wrong with a sandwich for dinner. Is a chip piece a sandwich or a dinner? If a subway sandwich is toasted is it no longer a sandwich? Pubs serve baguettes for dinner, so does the inclusion of crisps and side salad make a sandwich a dinner? That's a whole paradox you've opened there 😄

[@highlands2hammocks]

My life has been a lie! 🥲😂

[@gabrielsholisticcare]

You can have sandwich whenever you want! 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Very true!

[@joannebarrett1837]

What is a sangwich? Lol

[@discovering_scotland]

You can absolutely have a sandwich for dinner 😂😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thank you!!

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Stuff there uk stickers.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Tad annoying I know
