My fiance was watching with me tonight and he is wondering where you got that turtle from that's near the back doors, he loves it. Another great vlog tonight.👋

[@katemaxwell6061]

Was tempted to sign up for Rosetta to learn Portuguese…but it only offers Brazilian 😢

[@normanmazlin6741]

Here in Sydney, we only have to do a yearly (MOT) roadworthy inspection. This entails rocking up to any garage, i use a local tyre outlet, and have a very basic 15min safety inspection. Usually with zero waiting time. Hopefully, that won't change as our governments seem intent on making it harder and harder to own and drive ICE vehicles. Anyway, good luck with your MOT and happy travels.

I am with you, as I prefer animals to children. Your babies are so lovely & I like the way they listen to you chatting. Be safe wherever you go. 😊

We had our camper van broken into in Almeria. We were only 20 metres away from it on the beach sunbathing but heard our van door. But by the time we climbed up to the car park, they gone and taken our bags and clothes, etc. Luckily I had my handbag with me and our safe was bolted fast. On reporting it to the Police they told us to return to the restaurant near where we parked. A boy waved us down and took us to our opened bags and suitcases. They had left us with one outfit of clothing each and our toothbrushes etc, so for the following 3 months of our trip we managed!! Luckily we were insured but we had sentimental things stolen we can't replace.

[@paulineprice7308]

Love to see dizzie & Charlie on the beach playing about and chaseing each other and dizzie barking at the drone stay safe

[@steinarbrevikknudsen1546]

This was a wonderful episode!

[@jeanninehedspeth2869]

Best video ever! Loved all the fun facts and gorgeous views! Spain is beautiful! Love Thursdays with The ExPAWers! Jeannine

[@bikeralw]

We've had a condensation sucker for years! Essential in the UK. However an external thermal cab window screen eliminates condensation almost completely, as well as providing privacy and total darkness. Do you carry one? They take up no more space than the useless internal screens.

[@pamelaselway6669]

I will never get over how beautiful Spain is. I wish I'd found it when i was younger. Charlie is loving it sleeping on the beach. Whatever you do is great. Just love knowing about Spain and seeing the boys on the beach.

[@yvonnebrookes1887]

Loving your exploits and all the info, tips, costs etc of van life as you find it. Keep up the good work. Continued fun …..😊

[@donitaforrest9064]

You two look so freaking "healthy" and happy and well rested. Congratulations on your well being!!!

[@christinestraw5795]

So beautiful Guys..We are freezing 🥶 here in the UK . I'm jealous 😂..Great Vlog thank you so much ❤

[@poppyk6182]

I agree, it’s brass monkey’s here 🥶

[@rossykes4885]

The best as usual i do have a problem with you putting the beautiful weather on as it's bloody freezing here, but did meet someone tonight in a pub in Leicestershire who had met you as he was in a camper van. BRILLIANT. X

[@barbaratulloch9882]

Oh i absolutely love you pair, plus the boys, in this terrible evil world right now, you fill my soul with joy, happiness and hope, especially as i had a fall before Christmas and after 4wks of agony and 3 visits to ae, finally got diagnosed with a fractured humerus, no treatment, just 6-12 weeks for healing in agony, so christmas was a wash out, couldn,t be with my beautiful 3 lttle great grand children as they need constant picking up and play and my temperament and physical abilities are not in a good place right now, this video has cheered me up so, so much, thanks you beautiful humans ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulospursuits]

Love your videos. Planning to get my new-to-me van down to Spain before long and I will 100% be referring back to your library of fun, friendly and practical content for various tips, and of course a stock up on the fun facts :)

Loved the blog today. So many interesting facts. Spain is truly beautiful and I see why so many people want to visit. I wish the had the energy that the doggies have. They have so much fun on the beach. I am surprised they do not go into the water. I hope the van thing gets taken care of with no hassles. Happy travels. I look forward to next week and a new adventure.

[@Biged0156]

Hope you manage to get the Mot done, yet another excellent/informative video, like the sunshine you’ve got, we’re still buried in 6 inch of snow and expected-15 tonight.

[@christinemarchant4678]

Your van is looking really good, unbelievable amount of vans at the beach, don’t blame you for moving. Lovely video thank you

Thankyou so much for watching ❤️ x

[@VanAllaN52]

Great vid , l was at Tarifa last February it was busy then . Iff you had moved a little further on towards the where the rocks jut out its little less busy because of the wind shadow so the kite surfers keep away . Anyways, I'll be heading that way on the 26th l got a cheap crossing with DFDS for 39 quid , Happy Daze 😎🤟

[@bindatek8801]

I loved watching your little dogs playing so nicely on the beach. You certainly do seem to be enjoying life there, pity so many others want to enjoy it all around you. Your van is looking nice inside too, so neat and tidy, after the holiday in those things called houses. You be good, and be sure to take care, plus NO carbs with all the health food. John

[@odettec1]

Really enjoyed this vlog. Keep the fun facts coming.

[@billbike4662]

Love your videos.. Keep em coming ✨.. good luck with the MOT 🤞🍻.

[@studezza]

You can do the ITV a month before the due date and if it passes you keep the original date. If it runs out you normally have to get a grùa to take it the the ITV Station unless its a re-test.

[@galdessa1]

For vehicles over 4 years old the MOT is done every two years here.

[@tracielatham8415]

I have been to that same grocery parking lot when I was in Tarifa! What a beautiful area. Love your videos!

[@theexPAWers]

Awesome! Tarifa is a great spot although busy.. Thanks so much for watching..😁 xx

[@libellula3313]

Charlie was funny checking every item of food you bought in Lidl. I hope you get the MOT done. I'm always scrambling around at the last minute for mine, but at least its only every 2 years in France ! Great vlog, great to see the doggos enjoying the beach so much! Jo in France 🇫🇷

[@galdessa1]

two years here too, we are reminded online here and you can book online a month in advance. if you don't pass it to a certain date the police will take your number plates.

Always a joy!

😘😘

[@wendyrobinson2281]

Welcome back guys xx and doggy’s

[@alisonpeirce5489]

I have obviously been watching a long time as I just knew you wouldn’t stay there overnight 😀. Beaches do look amazing and to see blue sky and sun is wonderful. Very cold here xx

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Looks lovely Sunny weather 😜 Have a Good weekend 🥰

[@cabbking]

Great content in this video. Thank you.

[@theexPAWers]

Glad you liked it! Took bloody ages editing 😂😂.. Thanks so much for watching.. xxx

[@janhansen3673]

[@theexPAWers]

Yay! Thank you! ☺️ xxx

[@christopherbutler7588]

Hi Guys the Beach where you were looked to amazing , lovely weather it's been very cold here in West Sussex snow ❄️ and Sleet .so nice to see blue sky. 😊 Have a great weekend 😀 all the best and like the new look 😀

[@JANSMITH-g7k]

I have no children and that was not my choice. I love behaved children and I love dogs. If they are not behaved the blame goes on the owner. Love your videos. Thanks for bringing dogs in so they avoided the chaos of the other dogs and kids. I would also sleep away from the crowds. My dog reacted to Dizzy barking at the drone. 16:39

[@becwirdnam4956]

Great vlog, very informative. The beard is looking good! Sending lots of love xXx

[@angelawolstenholme9964]

My late hubby and I parked on Tarifa beach back in 2015. It was one of the best times we ever had wild camping.

[@theexPAWers]

Isn’t it lovely! We’ve spent many many great times here🤗

[@fosterb247]

I don't have a dog and after returning home from work my gas meter was frozen and the combi boiler wouldn't work - So no heat or love in my home today. Thanks for the upload 🤓

[@priscillachapman9145]

It is nice having a little visit with you today. 👏🏻👏🏻🥰

[@Klojum]

Here you can have a vehicle MOT'd two months before the actual "expiry date" of the MOT itself. Garages have a month waiting period at the moment, so if you book an appointment 3 months (... I know) beforehand, then you have plenty of time for the MOT including any required repairs. It just takes a bit of planning.

[@bathroomjon1]

Great video as always. We use a Karcher for clearing our windows too, when they are condensated. Works well doesn’t it! Looked very crowded on the beach park up. Time to escape to ‘the Land’ - good luck with the ITV and happy travels 😊

[@MikeHarrison3266]

You have lots of facts about Spain, So in the Balearics, to be precise Mallorca, heading on the motorway just before Lucmajor on the right is a gated driveway and at the bottom on the right is a small house (finca) with a green door where I used to live, now in the garden is an ant nest, how many ants live in that community?😊

[@theexPAWers]

176,201,071 and still growing significantly .. The community of ants there is way bigger than what you know! Thanks so much for watching.. 😅😉😂

[@mariaparker7545]

Dizzy and Charlie are just like two puppies when they get on the beach.. the original beach bums ha ha... Love all the fun facts of Spain I have lived here over 30 years and wouldn't want to live any where else.. Great to see you both so relaxed it's been a while! .. Take care!

[@Skyflyer26.]

Thanks for sharing guys another great vlog 😊 wow that place was so busy though - great views on the beach, Dizzie got me thinking I'm going to buy a drone for sky my four legged friend then I'm going to dangle a gravy bone or two from it and off we go haha that will drive her nuts much fun 😊 fingers crossed you get your van sorted ,🤞take care guys - already looking fwd to the next vlog xx❤❤

[@davidviner4932]

That looks like the park up from hell tbh, great video as usual though!

[@theexPAWers]

😂😂😂.. If you don’t like being close to people (like us) the. It kinda is..

[@grapesodatravels]

Bless Dizzie and his pet drone! Hilarious! That van/shed was AMAZING! Who else wants a peek inside!? N&Nx

[@nikkiveasey249]

Great vlog guys ......we are currently in spain and when you did the pan of the car park we saw that wooden hut on wheels guy in one of our parkups ...think he came from Belgium 🇧🇪 it was weird seeing him on your vlog lol ....every parkup we've hit so far has been mega busy .....xx

[@josepampolsteruel]

Muchas gracias por un vídeo maravilloso. Thanks for a wonderful video.

[@shirleymurray2232]

Feck yiz! We just left Tarifa 2 days ago after spending a week there in our van. To think we could have bumped into you guys! Gutted!

[@hazels27]

Hope you got an MOT appt. I’ve just had mine and my car failed on unacceptable emission results! Going back into the garage on Monday to have work done. Re travelling with expired MOT certificate - you are allowed to drive if you have an MOT booking but in the UK I think that is only the journey to the MOT station! Nice to see the sunshine, it’s -6 here and Manchester airport has been closed twice for the snowploughs to try to clear the runway. Fog also, so nothing could be seen once the planes were allowed to fly.

[@HeidiPriest]

In spain once past the ITV DATE you not aloud to drive has to be done via gura

[@andrewarmstrong1017]

It may be 3°c here in Cornwall...rain..sleet N Snow ❄️...but I rang up last Friday to say my MOT was out on Monday...he said drop it up Monday 8.30am...and I'll do it Mate 😂...and it PASSED.....😊

[@theexPAWers]

Congratulations on passing! Whoop, whoop, always a good feeling.. 😉 Here in Andalucia, it’s 19 degrees tomorrow ☀️ and we just managed to get an appointment (a cancellation it seems) for 9.30 in the morning tomorrow!!! VERY HAPPY! Persistence works💪.. Wish us luck and we’ll hopefully be on our way to our land by next week’s vlog! Xx

[@andrewarmstrong1017]

@theexPAWers ...Pretty sure you'll pass...all the hard work you've done on your lovely Van....Proper job 😉👌

[@martinsadventures3691]

Loved the vlog guys weather looks lovely 😎Jude and I love Tarifa but like you said it’s just a bit busy our favourite place is bolonia just up the coast interesting museum and great beach enjoy the sun it’s a bit grim here in Lincolnshire 🥶

[@norm4907]

Oh, to be by sea in Spain eating fresh bread, avocado and olive oil. Heaven.

[@helenreid4174]

Oh, where did you get those new mats for the counter tops? What are they made of?

[@stephenjones4588]

On my trip I have got close to Terifa but I decided not to go there as my favorite at this time of year is the thé very end of La Manga and I’m pleased to say much less crowded. Great vlog as per usual.

[@theexPAWers]

Have fun! Tarifa is fabulous but yes VERY busy this time of year! Thanks so much for watching..😁

[@theblurredcrusade.2557]
