[@Theendlessadventure]

Hello there from day 4 of quarantine! We’re currently laying low in the states, but luckily we have so many fun adventures stored up from our recent travels. Please note that this series was filmed well before any major bans or restrictions were in place. That said, we hope these adventures can provide some much needed distraction and entertainment in such a crazy/uncertain time. Stay safe and sane out there!!

[@8AlisaInez]

The Endless Adventure 💞Thank you... Always a pleasure to view your vlogs! Best wishes!!

Take lots of vitimin C, keep well hydrated, avoid NSAID type drugs is strongly advised, thats asperin, ibuprofen and naproxen ect. This is advice being out by NHS england fyi. You 2 should be ok even if you get abit of flu, even without the vitamins, the NSAID drugs can cause extreme reactions in younger people... I hope your both doing ok btw. We were told yesterday odd smells or loss of taste and smell can be 1st symptom, then fever, cough... symotoms vary though. Some have no symptoms, and its 2weeks from 1st symptom showing until others should be let out the house. I presume youd know this btw, but incase info is different over in the usa. This virus is scary frankly, in best case 35mil die around the planet and its a bad flu year, but this could kill 10X that if it continues to spread. Personally, if i am going to die, i want to help others, and slow the spread. I fetched shopping for 8 people yesterday, i had to go out regardless of risk, but they did not. I phoned a few people who are laying low or self isolating, and got their stuff at same time as mine. Dumped it at their doors, took cash owed carefully, and retreated. I think everyone needs to help because those who will die are your parents, friends and family, as it will be for mine and everyone else in fact. People should help where they can, stay home if they cannot. Quit taking kids shopping especially!! If its slowed enough, we can save 95% of those currently looking at a death sentence. BUT ONLY IF EVERYONE DOES THIS.

[@travelertrome8449]

I am in awe of how good you guys have gotten at video recording and editing of your vlogs. You guys are just on a different level from other vloggers I have seen, and the seamless editing on this one in which you guys were constantly on the move was beyond impressive. It seems like you have a whole team working on this when it is just the two of you. All I gotta say is..wow. Glad you guys are back stateside safely.

[@latebloomerabroad]

Oo, it looked so fun! I want to rent a tuk tuk now! I think it's helpful that there's a strict speed limit, too. I'm definitely planning on going to Sri Lanka during 2021, and I'm considering driving myself now.

[@SweetHopeCookies]

So grateful you had a few in backlog because it’s such a nice break from all that’s happening to follow your travels like always.

I think this is the coolest trip you've had. How awesome to be able to hire a tuktuk, and especially at such a good price. Its an awesome looking place which reminds me of Bali.

[@CBJalltheway24]

This kind of trip is a little intense for me. But I'm thrilled that people that can handle it like yourselves get out there and go for it. Happy travels

Well woow is that iPhone 11 Pro video that you recorded? It's look just like your cam, so stunning

[@petercaulf]

Great to see Sri Lanka. You must have driven through Hikkaduwa on your way to Galle. If you'd stopped there you'd have seen the tsunami train. When the last tsunami hit the island there were about 2000 people trying to escape on that train. As it went thru Hikkaduwa it got hit by the wave. About 1200 people lost their lives. It's now in a siding as a memorial, untouched since that day.

You have to take your feet off, you cracked me up Eric! 😂LOL

Amazing video guys, we are going to be doing this in September! Quick question... What did you do with all your bags when stopping off at each place? Leave them inside the tuktuk? Thanks!

I have just made it back safe home to Sweden. I was stuck in Zimbabwe and was able to catch one of the last flights out of the country.

How do you keep your stuff secure in the Tuk Tuk while ‘touristing’ around.

[@marieh.9003]

I was wondering the same thing. We were in sri lanka in december and we decided not to rent a tuk tuk because we didn't know how we would keep our stuff safe.

Great question Rhonda! I'm curious about that as well!

keep an eye on it

yes. thats true. dont keep anything inside tuktuk. surely they will be robbed.
