Recently come across your channel Nigel & Sue and now I've been working my way through your Europe videos - cracking stuff, great job! I love Italy and have been four times but my work restricts my ability for my partner and I to travel for long periods of time. Thank you for sharing your journey so I can enjoy the views from my home in England!

Thanks Coen and Jay, glad you're enjoying the Europe series. The soup is simple,fry up and onion and some garlic, chop two leeks and put them in, saute for 10 minutes on low to medium heat (don't let the onions get brown or it tastes bitter.). Add about 4 decent sized potatoes cut into 2cm cubes and 1.5 litres of water. Simmer for 20 minutes and then attack with a stick mixer to blend it all together. Serve with chives (and chilli sauce if you're Nigel!!)

Thank you for the tour. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. I was going to ask about security when you leave the van. I saw Nigel installing what I think was a door lock. What is the theft rate like compared to the atrocious situation here in Australia? The backpack seemed large. I realised you had the drone in it. Great drone shots by the way. Thanks folks.

We have heard some bad stories about van theft in Italy, but I think you always hear the worst. Nigel was installing a (very loud) alarm, hopefully it will be a sufficient deterrent for any would-be thieves. And yes, Nigel carries his large DSLR camera and the drone in that backpack.

Nigel and Sue we are really enjoying your European adventures - we are also an Aussie couple and have done 4 tours of Europe - the last being in a Hymer motorhome over 2 years and covering 66,000 km - we bought our second Motorhome in 2020 in Frankfurt but sadly did not get to use it because of Covid. We have booked our flights to Frankfurt in March 2025 and will buy another German motorhome for this trip. In a couple of your videos it appears you have been using a front mounted camera for recording which you also seem to be able to swivel around to take vidoes of both of you - would you mind telling us the brand and model and whether you are happy with it or not - cheers Rob and Krys
