Trouble with the Law | Van life Spain | Winter Adventure [Ep 142]

[@lynnerees-r1g]

Really enjoying all your videos, had an idea for the water tap problem, if you have a funnel, take the fittings off the end of hose pipe and insert he funnel.nozzle into the hose and hold under the tap, hope it works😊 take care and best wishes

[@guiart4728]

Arid regions don’t put threaded taps because water thieves will bring a tanker and fill it for ‘free’ at public expense and sell it or use it for irrigation. Sad but true…love your adventures and Sandra is the perfect traveling companion!!!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thank you 😃❤️🏴‍☠️

Soy de la zona y la verdad me parece francamente difícil que un gran camión cisterna tenga suficiente tiempo los que se aprovechan del.agua para llenarlo y luego la vendan; a cuanto? no compensa no tiene sentido eso no ocurre otra cosa son los pozos de aguas subterraneas no declarados en las parcelas cultivadas ; un saludo

It looks like Bonnie is enjoying your big adventure just as much as you two girls appear to be. Well done for living your best life and thank you so much for sharing it with us all. This trip is a real inspiration and the scenery looks fantastic. (‘Maybe one day!’) 😉

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

[@James-In-Exile]

How beautiful of Vincent and Kathleen to help you out and show such hospitality and generosity. These values go back to ancient times and it's nice to see people still willing to open their homes and hearts to help travellers along their way.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

I know, they were so so lovely 😄❤️🏴‍☠️

[@LauraHenderson-wx6xy]

Hey Heidi, great vid as usual. The little orange you bit into ( naughty Sandra 🤭 ) is probably a Calamondin. They are mainly grown as ornamentals because they are exceedingly tart but they do make excellent marmalade. The other one is a kumquat, specifically a Nagami Kumquat. You can tell by the oblong shape. They are also used for marmalade and candied peel. The ones that are usually eaten skin and all are rounder ones called Meiwas. The rest of the citrus looked wonderful. 🍊🍋. Safe travels you two. 🧡🤗🧡

It's amazing. You kept your cool despite the Police interferance. Scary as the laws in each country are all different. I noticed I was number 999 comment. Police not required thank you. Pirates and Guardian Angels must be looking after you. You got away! Where I live I used to work at a gas station & grocery store. Next door was a Biker Bar. I served Hells Angels and tattooed Pirates along with Bull Riding Rodeo Cowboys. All were and still are Guardian Angels now invisible but still active. It makes for interesting energies. Stay safe, enjoy the mountains and have a wonderful time. Lots of magic wafting your way me hearties, ❤ from Arizona. PS I was 999 comment on this vlog. 😮 We use 911 over here for emergency issues. 😊❤😊

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks so much and that’s fab with the 999 🏴‍☠️😄😂❤️

Maybe try a funnel with your hose on those taps? It may not be the best solution but I'd give it a try myself. Love your videos thanks for doing them.

Hi you are in my neck of the woods. We live in a town called Albox just a bit in land from the coast. We sometimes go shopping in Garrucha which is just by your last park up . Hope you carry on having a wonderful time. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Good old vans NON TURBO will benefit from the following .Semisynthetic engine oil with WYNNS engineoil treatment added ,and when running in high temperature's coolant mix should be 30% max not 40/50% as used in UK .Hope this helps to keep you safe .

Hello Heidi, Sandra, Bonnie and Sandra's two fur kids ... thank you to Vincent and Kathleen for being a host to you. That was wonderful and I know you guys had a wonderful time visiting. I love the drone video portions and it is so nice to see sun and beautiful ocean scenery. Thank you for letting me ride along each week. Winter here in California (USA) has been dark and gloomy and riding along has made it so much more enjoyable. Please save me a seat for next week and give all the fur kids a scratch behind the ears. Hugs and best wishes to all ... Gramma Lainee ... may we know peace in our lifetime.

I really enjoyed your trip down the Eastern side of Spain. The Spanish police are quite proactive and unless you can speak Spanish it can be quite alarming being held by the fuzz. 😂 That's a huge water pipe you have acquired. By the way, don't ask a Spaniard if you can take his picture as it loosely translates to a man's thingy. 😅 Have fun, stay safe. ❤

[@Jennifer-ep1sr]

Neighbourhood Watch is starting again in our area in Tasmania. Bill and I were in it for 20 years before we retired. It is a pity we need it, but if it gives some peace of mind, that's a good thing. More cameras also. Hope you are both recovering. ❤🇦🇺

[@AnnemarieOG]

If you get a funnel, or cut off the top of a bottle, you could stick the thin part in your hose, and hold it up to the public taps with the wide funnelly part. That would save splashing yourself too much.. could work..

[@davetp101]

There is a tap connector that screws over the whole of those taps. You can get them in garden centres over here in the UK but sure you can get them in garden section of a supermarket. Your hosepipe then connects to the bottom bit like your normal connector.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Yes Sandra has one but it didn’t work on push taps - we have to keep pushing the tap every few seconds plus the end was very large and square

[@davetp101]

@@TheNarrowboatPirate what about one of those short velcro straps? (About 15cm or 6 inches long or a bit longer). Used to keep the shower button pressed in on campsites?

Hi there. We are motorhomers who live in the province of Cadiz. Obviously you are not aware that you cannot wild camp anywhere in Spain or Portugal now, only stay on authorised sites. You may find some local councils that have their own aires but wild camping in the country is a no, no. A lot of motorhomers have been fined and if you do not move when asked the Guardia Civil will confiscate your vehicle. Paul. Hope you continue to enjoy our lovely country.😁

Heidi maybe look for a water container couple or 3 gallons or so. With a spigot tap then no matter where you are you can fill the container and the use a hose from the spigot on the can to top off your tanks bloody long winded way of doing it but maybe would work at a push
