So pleased you got out of London. There is so much else to our country than London.

[@philipnunn1816]

Ah the joys of Gatwick Airport!!!! When you are down near Land's End you have to walk the Coastal Path from Sennen Cove, Cot Valley and Cape Cornwall.... It's Beautiful!!!

[@MK-ex4pb]

Philip Nunn better to fly in to a city that isn't London

[@PurpleLuci]

Glad you've finally reached your destination! Hope things start to improve. The place your staying looks beautiful. Can't wait to see more of it!

[@ghanwin]

Literally just watched you previous video and clicked on this asap, glad Allison got her passport situation sorted out ! Greetings from Helsinki btw, hope you make it here someday ! :)

[@fuzylogik]

Dandelion and Burdock is a really old fashioned fizzy drink which has made a bit of a come back in recent years (similar to the trend for ales and ipa's. the old is the new and everything is repackaged as artisan, case in point being look at all the different types of gin they have when you visit the pub) i suspect the closest thing you have in the states is sarsaparilla and the burdock is a plant which gives the drink "that" flavour. not sure about the dandelion bit as these are the small yellow flowers you usually see in grass lawns (but they might also be used to flavour it or maybe just part of the original name not sure about that ) other canned drinks to look out for are ginger beer (usually non-alcoholic) vimto (northern england) irn brew (scotland) which are sold all over and are unique to the UK. chin-chin

[@glossophistoryarchives4483]

Perfectly said!

[@BENTWOONEZERO]

And Tizer !!

[@wpl6661]

I've come to the conclusion that when people taste a drink that they have never tried before, don't like and don't know hot to describe, 9 times out of 10 they say it tastes like cough medicine.

[@ourdill]

All drinks mentioned are best with chippy chips 😀

[@MegaBoilermaker]

Used to be made from two different herbs.

[@80dubz]

So glad you guys chose to come to Cornwall, it's literally one of the best places on the planet.... enjoy!

[@Luetin09]

So little story, there's a reason why the services you stopped at is in the woods. That's Fleet services which actually burned down not that long ago because the I think Burger King? had a fire. So they have this temporary building which is back behind where the services used to be at, and that's why its a little way back behind that path. Its still one of the nicer services though the fir trees around it make for a nice scenic break from the Motorway.

[@EricIrl]

And me. Because it's only a few miles away, I rarely use it. It was a big news story when the service area burned down. Amazing you didn't get stuck ina traffic jam at Stonehenge. Every time I go down that road I get caught out. I love the A303 though.

[@jackburge6772]

So here I am watching the Endless Adventure travel channel and I recognise fleet services so I go to the comments to see if anybody else does and whose there but my favourite warhammer youtuber Luetin09. Guess youtube is a small world 😂

[@delbydoo]

So glad Alison managed to get her passport sorted - what a nightmare, but the Embassy obviously came through. D&B is the best drink......period! Original recipe dates back to the middle ages. No dandelions or burdocks are harmed in present production of this gorgeous drink ;) Another drink which is worth trying (in my own opinion, others may disagree) is Vimto - fruit based drink, berries, cherries, that sort of stuff. It is sugary, but you can find low calorie versions of it. Get it in a can if you can (sorry no pun intended) or you can get concentrate that you mix up with water. Have fun but you gotta watch out for sheep on those foggy roads, its the warmer than the grass so the sheep love sleeping on a dark, foggy road.

[@a1smith]

I can't stand the fizzy Vimto but absolutely love the diluted kind- actually drinking some now!!

[@delbydoo]

Don't mind the diluted version but it's got to be really cold, lots of ice

[@Loopylulu81]

Omg ......you drove past where I live, to the place I love most in the world, along the route we drive! How funny! Xx

[@Theendlessadventure]

hah, that's awesome!

[@james4eng44]

Awesome guys, let that be the end of your bad luck, and wish you happy traveling! Keep them coming!

[@Captally]

I'm a great admirer of your videos and love people who travel, admire, absorb and appreciate other cultures without a string of whinges and complaints. "Jodi's Expat Life" is another great channel. I had to laugh during this one however, because when I was growing up in the '40s & '50s, Dandelion and Burdock was associated with old ladies sat quietly in the corner of the pub whilst the young people enjoyed their evening.

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

Can't beat a good 'ol British fry up. 😊😋

[@diogeneslantern18]

Mark Smith if you have instagram please look up 'fryuppolice' my dear Jesus in Heaven, there truly is a God

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

PartiZAn18 Thanks guys, I'll check it out. Found your KZbin channel when I watched your vlog of my hometown of Lancaster 🇬🇧. Keep them coming, they're fantastic. 👍

[@karielightyear6343]

I would like you all to do a video of how you pack your backpacks with all the specific ways for your travels. It would be a video I would like to watch.

[@juliestockmeyer5871]

I did a Facebook live video from Stonehenge, when I was there in April! What a magnificent place! My friend and I had true Cornish pasties at a quaint little restaurant right across the parking lot from The Witch Museum. I took lots of pictures of the port, next to the restaurant. I didn't want to ever leave! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We'll have to stop if we pass by it again! We didn't realize it was just next to the motorway haha. So far Cornwall has been beautiful and delicious :)

[@paulmoore4223]

Hey guys, Very very VERY welcome back

[@anthony3469]

Welcome back to the UK :)

[@LitzysDelight]

So glad it's all sorted and that it didn't take more than a few hours :) Have a wonderful trip and I can't wait to see more. Also Cornwall is absolutely gorgeous. I went to NewQuay in 2011. If you have the chance you should definitely go see it

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! We're hoping to make it to Newquay this weekend...we keep hearing good things :)

[@marmite5599]

imagine how funny it would be having a couple of Americans vlogging whilst having brekky at the caf. love it

[@charlieh6258]

You guys are so awesome. Always a smile on your faces and you guys are up for anything. It really makes it enjoyable to watch and love how you two get along. Oh, also love your music choices - very cool!

[@ElleSteer]

Just discovered your channel and I am loving your vlogs. England here and love a bit of dandelion and burdock!

[@espowari]

YHA BATH is beautiful!!! Gratz on the adventure y'all!!!

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

I'm glad y'all got everything worked out! Thank you for sharing!

[@thedougandponyshow]

Whew!!! so glad you all have the 'port business solved. Was a little worried. Enjoy the adventure.

[@fiona36b]

Burdock is a large herbaceous Old World plant of the daisy family. The hook-bearing flowers become woody burrs after fertilization and cling to animals' coats for seed dispersal.

[@Alucarddraconis]

Nikita Needs to start a vlog. Seriously I want to see his perspective of your adventures.

[@jackhill4430]

So glad you guys tried the Dandillion and burdock, an old traditional drink of England!

[@ThatMcFlyFan]

Haha this is so weird ... I'm currently in Cornwall!! Staying about halfway between Truro and St Agnes ... would be strange to see you guys about!! Enjoy this beautiful part of the UK even if it does keep raining! ❤️🇬🇧

[@TheKruxed]

Just south along the coast from where you are is Godrevy. Kynance cove is a beautiful hotspot and you can see the famous lighthouse while you are in that area.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ah nice! Well we'll be all over that area. Make sure to say hi if we cross paths!

[@Sara1FiM]

Good you made it safely to Cornwall :D hope the weather improves a bit

[@Theendlessadventure]

It has! Thanks for the well weather vibes :)

[@cjcj1599]

Ha ha ha...I laughed so hard when those chop sticks flew into the empty food container lol😂😂😂

[@andyc2978]

Hope you have a Cornish pasty in Cornwall

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh we definitely will!

[@Bill34543]

Belated welcome to the UK. Hope the weather stays good for you. I'm in Colchester, Britains oldest recorded town. Its between Chelmsford and Ipswich in East Anglia. Give a look if you are passing this way. Doug

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

I'm so glad you were able to replace your passport. One of my students lost her passport in Madrid, and we were able to replace it in a day. While we waited, we were able to go shopping and out to lunch. Not bad for a day in Madrid! The rest of the group spent a VERY HOT DAY in Toledo (which is a place you should go, but not in the middle of summer, when tourist numbers and temperatures are very high!).

[@nicholasleeson6765]

Great that your here and have the passport pain sorted! Am very interested in the Yurt you've stayed at and would like to see or hear more about it please? It's nice to see you all Happy! Please enjoy your new adventure!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We linked to the booking page for the yurt in the video description :) If you end up staying there, let us know how it goes! It was an absolutely beautiful location!!

[@LeggLife]

SO stoked for the UK vlogs! After our Paris trip in May we decided that the UK is going to be our next international trip!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Nice! Any ideas which part you'll visit first?

[@ArthurShelby-PB]

I've heard the lake district is a beautiful place

[@vitusdoom]

3 awesome people! My favourite KZbin channel by a mile!

[@leonpennington1648]

I cannot believe you make food so interesting, food was food until I started watching your videos :p

[@kerriewheeler365]

Great news on the passport situation!! Nice to see you guys again and great vlog! Hi Nikita! I have a feeling you're going to have a lot of fun🎉🎊😎🤓

[@BonePlow]

Hi Kerrie :) Yep, I'm very excited to be traveling with these two again. Let the adventurous times roll! 😂

[@jasonsender6568]

Burdock's a plant. Generally dandelion and burdock's an acquired taste.

[@MegaBoilermaker]

Should have tried Fentiman's Cola.

[@donball9777]

burdock grows wild all over the uk. the bit they use in the drink is the root. in japan its grown not for a drink but as a vegetable . the root is dry roasted finely sliced and eaten that way. huge big leafy thing.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We'll have to keep an eye out for it. I can't believe we'd never heard of it before! From what we've heard, both it and dandelions have tons of health benefits..who knew!?

[@donball9777]

it also makes you wee alot.........

[@ronald9074]

An old English belief/saying is that if you pick (snap off) a dandelion....you will wee the bed lol.

[@paulknox999]

Dandelion and burdock are both plants/weeds. you will see dandelions growing all over the place bright yellow flowers that eventually turn to wife fluffy balls when they go to seed. Burdock is a plant that has long been used in many medicines so could well be why you recognise the taste as cough mixture. So keep drinking it as it will do you good and tastes delicious especially the fentimans as this will contain actual plant extract some of the cheaper versions will just be chemical flavourings

[@MK-ex4pb]

Paul K Americans know what dandelions are because unfortunately they were introduced to the US as an ornament plant or medicinal, and they are easy to escape from a pot. And now they cover every one of our lawns in spring. Not to mention enterprising children love to blow the white puffs. Now we j just need to get burdock...

[@paulknox999]

dandelions also a big weed problem in UK. we also use them as a clock, ie blow white seed puffs and count how many puffs until all gone and that's the time.... of course us adults fix it to always be the correct number of puffs to impress the kids. Also makes great tea. You may know Burdock as Arctium pretty sure it grows in north America.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We definitely grew up with dandelions in the yard (my mom now picks them for her bunnies lol), but had no idea you could eat/drink them. It's probably a little too medicine-y for us to drink regularly, but we're glad we tried it :) - Allison

[@FluffysMum]

Isnt Burdock in Rootbeer?

[@jasonowen8193]

Gatwick has a train station, and you could of got a train to Cornwall, the journey goes all along the South coast.

[@davidthaler7018]

Perhaps it was too dark at the time, but crossing the River Tamar (from Devon to Cornwall) is usually a photo-/video-worthy moment.

[@diogeneslantern18]

Cornish pasties are life.

[@anya7944]

If you get a chance in Cornwall there is this absolutely gorgeous beach called Holywell bay it's on the North coast and near Newquay I believe if you get the chance go! And Truro is a lovely city as well!

[@Daone24]

Great to see you guys back In the UK 🇬🇧

[@Mark-ck7zr]

Welcome back to the UK!

[@slacker20012]

Espresso is the small coffee!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ah yeah (shows what I know about coffee 😂) - Eric

[@aliciastrayer4976]

Our passports were stolen in Rome and the embassy there was fantastic to us. They even looked up the train schedule since we were on our way to Florence when it happened. Overall, it was a unique experience and fell on our wedding anniversary. Be prepared when returning to the states that if using the kiosks at border control, you'll be directed to the desk. They immediately knew we had replacement passports and again were very nice about it. Just all part of the adventure.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ya, I'm a little nervous that other countries might be a bit suspicious of the temporary passport...fingers crossed they won't mind though! Glad you were able to get yours sorted easily and quickly :)

[@divebigblue]

Hahahaha it's like couch syrup :) The Ferry Boat Inn dates back 300 years and is situated in the North Helford Passage on the waterfront. Surrounded by wooded banks and sloping fields, this is one of Cornwall's most breathtaking locations. The inspiration for Daphne Du Maurier's novel can be found at Frenchman's Creek nearby :)

[@JohnPaduchak1]

We get Fentemanns' here in NH all the time. Gingerbeer, cola and Rose Lemonade the stuff is awesome. I know it is from the UK so cool to see someone drinking it there

[@justinamelody2850]

Please visit Stonehenge next time you near that area again. Glad you got the passport. Yayyy glad to see Nikita :D have a great time guys.

[@TheYBCnetwork]

Try black pudding while you're there. Also Gregg's or Sayers the bakers pastie. Cheese and onion is my suggestion. Have fun guys.

[@lupindraws]

Also make sure you get a Cornish Pasty (Falmouth's 'The Cornish Bakery' or 'Oggy Oggy' do some really great ones with really interesting flavours!) and a cream tea (Trebah Garden Cafe is a great place to get this)

[@davevil7573]

In 2010 my sister was pick pocketed in Spain riding a bus and she had her passport stolen. Went to the U.S. embassy there and it was the same process, minus the system crash. Thank heavens they can super expedite the process at least for a temporary one so we can have I.D.'s when this happens.

[@CapitanBastos]

glad to hear everything worked out with the whole passport situation. also quite impressed that you finished that English breakfast. I couldn't lol

[@katieburke1442]

You guys should go to the lake district in the north of England it's an amazing, very picturesque place

[@jorgalbertz11watp75]

Yooo hello from Glasgow, Scotland!

[@louisewilkinson247]

Love you guys, could spend all my time watching your vlogs, and Alison reminds me SO much of my lovely american daughter in law ( I'm a brit ) Hope you have a great time in the UK and safe travelling :-)

[@johnwalsh3635]

Burdock is an indigenous wild plant, found all over England and Wales.

[@edcase1977]

Would be great to see you make a trip to Wales. 3 national parks (Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire), lots of beautiful little towns, loads of industrial heritage sites, a fantastic vibrant capital city and lots of good opportunities for food. Also you can drive from the south to the north in about 4.5 hours - small but beautiful ;)

[@theresamnsota3925]

Back in 1995, I went to Austria and Germany with my mom and brother. My mom lost her passport, and like you, we had to make an emergency trip to the US Embassy (in Hamburg for us). We were staying with some German friends, so they did the very fast driving on the Autobahn for us. The crazy thing was we were going to the embassy on a Saturday.....on 4th of July weekend. They close at noon, but they were waiting for us as we got caught in road construction. I had to go with my mom as I was the only American citizen of adult status that could verify my mom's identity. The scarier part was the number of times we had to pass through the metal detectors before we could meet with embassy staff. I wonder what security is like now, 22 years later.

[@Sporadic_Si]

Welcome back guys, always an interesting perspective when people visit the UK. Everyday things we take for granted suddenly become much bigger for you. Dandelion & Burdock is an age old drink. Its been around for years and often drunk with Fish & Chips. Well it is for me, maybe growing up in Yorkshire gave me a different perspective. By the way, don't waste time at Stonehenge EVER! Its a load of big rocks. That's it.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the tip! Yeah we've heard that a bit. Happy to at least have seen it from the road though!

[@squirmsshed5343]

loving your vids , you tell it as it is , hope you enjoy our country , enjoy

[@Theendlessadventure]

Glad you're enjoying the adventure! ✌️ England gets cooler and cooler with every visit :)

[@squirmsshed5343]

iam in hadrians wall , the land of cumberland sausage and cumberland stew , and tattie pot, oh and you must have the cumberland sauce with the sausage , walk the wall , its the in thing now

[@Saravon]

I'm so glad it worked out!!

[@lindathomas5500]

Love dandelion and burdock, needs to be cold though for you to get the true flavour!

[@craftyape5423]

Welcome back to England! I loveee Dandelion and Burdock!

[@Joker-yw9hl]

Yeah definitely try vimto and irn-bru when you get the opportunity, just for fun. Hope you enjoy some fish and chips by the seaside :) weirdest thing about the UK imo is how accents can drastically change after a 3 mile drive! What intrigues me most is how "foreigners" feel in the UK, like what does it feel like being here. That's the most interesting thing for me. I doubt it feels like you're in Europe in the same way that travelling through France or Poland does

[@fyhafs1912]

You should really come visit Denmark at some point! It's a small country, so it is possible to get to see a lot of different places and cities, without having to spend several months there. If you will be interested at some point, i would love to recommend you some places to check out

[@lanamasterson19]

Please go to Padstow! A beautiful town and makes me think of my childhood visiting family:) the seafood is amazing in Cornwall, enjoy!

[@Emexrulsier]

Dandelion and Burdock and simply too plants. This drink is traditional served with fish and chips

[@elizabethalecks-jones6918]

Enjoy Cornwall,cant wait for the nx vlog x

[@johnson787878]

Hey, I just saw your video where you eaten Fish and Chip, the Dandelion and Burdock drink is traditionally served with fish and chips. Most good chippy's have it in their​ fridge's.

[@britainonabudget]

Love Fentiman's! I like the cherry cola. So glad you got your passport.👍

[@MimiDudli]

Wooop Ali I am glad it worked out with your passport! 😄 have fun in England again ✌🏻

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks Mimi! Glad to be back here :D

[@peteq1972]

I live down in Kent, Drove to Devon and cornwall a few times. I've driven in Florida and yes... every 100 yards... McD's.... 5 guys.....Kentucky fried chicken..... another McD's..... i couldn't believe how close they were like if you missed the McDonald's there's another one 500yds down the road lol. Stone Henge... you must of been on the A303 :) Yeah the motorway kinda is no more going down that end of the country or "The west country" as it's known and it's all A & B roads, nice roads and scenery :)

[@ladymc2021]

Lol! I love that you found the Dandelion and burdock drink as that is my husbands favourite and they don't have it in the states! Lol 😂 We drove that same exact drive before and it is sooo beautiful! Burdock root is good for skin issues like acne, exczma and psoriasis. :) I agree that it tastes like cough syrup and my husband disagrees everytime with me! Lol 😂 I also love the service stations!

[@ivetter.2443]

Glad everything went fine for Allison. I like your chanel very mucho!

[@BreekieMe]

Dandelion name comes from the French "dents de lion" - lion's teeth, because of the shape of the leaves. It's also called "pis en lit" meaning "pee the bed"! Coz it's supposedly a diuretic! Just thought I'd enlighten you! BTW - I love your videos, you guys are fab!

[@karenlouks3636]

Also you have a conversation with the camera like you are talking to us that's something that not everybody else can do

[@whatdidsarahsay]

I always get a can of dandelion and burdock when I have fish and chips yum yum

[@MrMegamicheal3]

Hi been watching a few of your films in our country like what you do trying out some of our foods so i have subscribed to you best wishes

[@alexisherd4808]

Love, Love, Love the music that accompanies your videos. Who chooses it?

[@aviationlover1418]

Love you guys so glad you got a new passport

[@karenlouks3636]

you know I really enjoy your videos you are so informative and you are very much funny just like the way you put it across that's all

[@Shelleyc1972]

Love Nikita!! YAY! You guys all together gives me joy!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We love him too! We're so excited to have a good friend traveling with us again. Plus he's really good at driving a manual, so that's an added bonus 😂

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

You guys need to try Fenteman's Curiosity Cola. It's awesome. 😎

[@skipandjump]

haha I love you guys trying Dandelion and Burdock - an acquired taste I believe ;) Great vlog guys! Love watching you explore the UK. Liverpool is open if you wanna come see! :D

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad you're enjoying the adventure and watching us squirm when trying new food and drinks haha. I doubt we'll make it up that far north this time around, but we definitely need to plan a Liverpool trip soon :)

[@Edgesofearth]

- Wow! That made life a whole lot easier 😇 Good news 💪🏽

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh ya, I was so nervous at first because everywhere I read said that it'd take days to get a new passport. Even though it was a pretty silly situation, I'm so glad I lost it in London and not after we'd left for smaller towns..that would have been way more complicated :(

[@bushchat28d]

Ben Shaws is the best 'high end' soda brand so next time you are over here give them a chance.

[@a1smith]

Thanks guys, love your videos!

[@Theendlessadventure]

+alan thanks for watching!

[@kristinajendesen7111]

What did you think of driving on the 'right', left hand side of the road? Also, despite some news reports, our drivers are pretty patient and good mannered (unless they drive a BMW or Audi ....). Driving on the left is actually safer because most people are right eye dominant.

[@amandakelly7991]

Great vid if you get a chance check out a place called whitstable in kent one of of my goto places to visit in uk...the oyster festival is on now ..think its right on the other side where you are now..sounds crap but its always a great show...

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh no, looks like we just missed the festival. Thanks for the recommendation though! We'll have to make our way out east next time we visit :)

[@alynette]

yeah! glad everything worked out! whew! haha now it's time to explore! i'll be doing my own exploring this weekend in Norwich---maybe even jaunt over to the coast :)

[@therushden]

alynette Norwich is lovely. Enjoy.

[@alynette]

therushden thanks! :D

[@janegirot1623]

Awesome news about the passport.

[@cicicamarone9532]

burdock is a plant with nettle balls

[@MKRM27]

No. Wrong. An English breakfast does not flood a plate with beans like that.

[@RoastLambShanks]

Funny seeing you stop at Fleet Services. Ha
