"It's cold but it's not Ireland cold"- I felt this in my soul as I sit in a cold cold Limerick

[@phillyandkeely]

🤣🤣 I think one of the coldest waters I've been in was west coast of Ireland lol. Thanks for watching us from cold cold Limerick 🥰🥰

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Philly and Keely. Glad you got to swim. Kamakura looked like a beautiful place to stay. The sunsets over the beach were amazing. Take care. Nick

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah that sunset was insane

[@kaikito7662]

Just a few minutes away from where you had your first coffee is an amazing ice cream shop...........the green tea ice cream is stunningly fantastic.A genuine privilege.

[@manconthemove]

Hiya two of my favourite humans 😁. It looked like you both had a magical experience with nature. Being next to the sea does the same thing to me every time. Seems a bit calmer where you were 🙏🏻. Sorry with the late viewing of your vlog, I'm normally on it as soon as you post. Really appreciate your vlogs love the content and editing 🙏🏻. (With Dan over the weekend). See you Sunday 💚

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Alan ❤️❤️ so glad you enjoyed the vlog. The sea really is good for the soul isn't it. Hope you and Dan are doing well. Hope your knee recovery is going strong too.

[@annekennedy8127]

Enjoyed your video - you are a long way from Lurgan!

[@phillyandkeely]

Very long way 🤣🥰

[@LorraineG123]

Where do I start, cause i loved every minute of this video. I do know how much the feeling of loving the sea, well done, what a place to say ye swam in, whoohoo. I burst out laughing at the candyfloss, I'm glad you waited and not pay the over priced one. Looks like you did enjoy it, delighted. The place looks fantastic for adventures, you both are so blessed, even if Philly will forever more remind you that it was the place you lost at every card game ha ha, so funny. Safe journeys guys. Thank you for giving up so much time for great editing.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Lorraine 🥰🥰 really glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for recognising the time we put into our editting ❤️❤️ the sea and candyfloss were both awesome hahqha

[@LorraineG123]

@@phillyandkeely 100% the time ye take out of your travels to put up the superb videos is noted. You could just throw up raw,but ye don't. Even though I personally don't mind what way ye put them up,cause its great to see and hear ye on yer travels.

[@byromtaylor6482]

I miss yer van ....stuff Japan

[@phillyandkeely]

🤣 one more week and then we are combining the best of both worlds 🥳🥳 #japanvanlife don't worry we will be back to Martha before long ❤️❤️

[@kathigee]

I haven't seen you in a while.. life stuff (including the covid) but watching this video today reminded me why I follow you. you both have such big and soft hearts!! and genuine love for each other and all things. much love to you ~k

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Kathi 🥰🥰 I really hope covid has passed and you are feeling much stronger now 💪💪 and as for life, I totally understand that feeling. Sometimes sitting down to @wearekingingit when I've been super frazzled makes me feel better, it's like being transported into someone else's life and having a laugh and joining them on their journey helps you have a little break from your own haha. So glad you found time to watch our video and I hope it helped a little in some way ❤️❤️❤️

[@barrywatler7482]

Hi ya nice video 😂thanks for sharing take care cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤩

[@lindao1327]

What a great video! Beautifully filmed. It’s lovely to see a different area in Japan other than Tokyo! Thanks Philly and Keely, ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Linda 🥰🥰 so excited to share more of Japan with you all ❤️ then it won't be too long until we are back with Martha ❤️

[@upwards771]

Love this u guys seemed to have really needed that change in pace. Xoxo

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much sis 🥰🥰 yeah after next week it's gonna be some proper nature vibes woop woop

[@thetravelduo_]

Hey Guys! Epic video as always. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys relax & enjoy being near the sea again, its definitely a happy place to be. We could just sit & stare at the sea all day. Excited for your upcoming adventures in Japan... ps, those vegan crepes looked INSANE, bring us one back pleaseeeeeee

[@phillyandkeely]

🥰🥰 thanks guys!! The vegan cream was INSANE I need to figure out where I can get my hands on that stuff haha. Thanks for your kind words ❤️

[@moneyprofessional]

Always makes me smile seeing you guys on your adventures. I've been having some very cold swims in Sicily and keep remembering your advice "Never Regret a Swim" and it's so true. Have you got a new drone or did your old one turn up and get fixed?

[@phillyandkeely]

We had to get a new one. Never been flown yet, so a bit nervous!! Been a long time!!

[@phillyandkeely]

So glad to hear you've been wild swimming 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@donnamaree2311]

❤❤love you both, omg so cute, l am enjoying your vlogs have fun, love from Australia ❤😊😊

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Donna 🥰🥰 love from Japan

[@sallybiddick]

WOW!!! I was not expecting that so close to Tokyo, what a stunning spot and apartment! The sea has that effect on me too...never regret a swim!!! So true x Loving seeing Japan with you guys xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Yessss never regret a swim ❤️❤️🌊🌊 thanks for joining us Sally x

[@examinerian]

Brilliant! This trip is a real revelation 😁 and I can see a difference in your energy and enthusiasm from van life. Or maybe I just saw the frantic side and sadder stuff like the break-ins? My son taught himself Japanese (inc all 3 alphabets) just because he was interested in the history and culture - now he wants to take it to Uni, including study there and maybe emigration after that. He's been watching your trip with a great interest! Thanks!!

[@phillyandkeely]

That is epic. I started teaching myself Japanese last year. Was making good progress on first two alphabets, but once the third one came in I was lost 🤣🤣 it honestly makes my brain hurt so much. I am very very very impressed with your son. It's an awesome country he will love it I'm sure! Yeah we definitely had alot of shit times in the van. But we feel ready to take on vanlife again soon. Before back to Martha we are gonna try our hand at some Japan vanlife to warm us up haha

[@examinerian]

@@phillyandkeely Japanese vanlife sounds like a great idea - I wonder if they do one of those diddy K-Car vans as a camper...?! 🤪 😂 My son (Jamie) is currently helping out at Teikyo Durham uni whilst finishing Y13 at school. They have a few people who help visiting Japanese students with English, and he gets to learn more conversational stuff going out to meet one or two of them. Teikyo have about 5 campuses in the greater Tokyo area, so he might even get to study in one of those, since they already know him from that, but we'll see - it'd need some sort of scholarship support, if he can snag one of the few on offer, though he may also be able to work as a TESOL Teaching Assistant whilst out there. We're all from Yorkshire, living in Durham, but he thought it'd be funny if he can get students over there to learn a bit of Geordie... Gan canny!

[@MrFloris]

I want to retire in Japan, or Sweden, or Switzerland/austria. After this video, Japan earned a point.

[@phillyandkeely]

Japan is INCREDIBLE our favourite country in the world.

[@3252fly]

Elder in Canada. Always love you two experiencing new things and places.== Keely do you teach MATH every night???

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankfully not every night 🤣 I would be dead. Just two lessons one night a week is enough haha

[@kateur9923]

Watching your videos I can't wait to go back and explore more of Japan, such an amazing country, one of my all time favourites. Love your channel.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Kate 💗💗 we are excited to explore it some more over the next month. Hoping to head up north into the winter snow. Any recommendations from your time there let us know ❤️❤️

[@kateur9923]

​@@phillyandkeely I can recommend Takayama, it is stepping back in time and has these amazing float museum for a festival that is held there. Gokayama Villages is like a living museum with beautiful old restored thatch houses, along a picturesque river valley. And Hiroshima, it was such a beautiful place with such a tragic history, it was so interesting, would definitely recommend.

[@kateur9923]

Not quite North though 🤓

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Kate 🥰🥰 will have to check the map and see if we can work it in 💗💗💗

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Have you heard of a couple and their daughter in Australia. Karstan and Maxine. Travelling in an old kombi. You love how beaten up it is and where they take it.

[@phillyandkeely]

Haven't heard of them, I will look it up ❤️

[@helenmedlow2764]

I just love you two so much, I love how empathic you both are, what a lovely vlog, I'm so grateful for you both as always, much love from South Oz ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Helen 🥰🥰🥰 such kind words, we appreciate them ❤️

[@Aaron-P]

Pretty fond of matcha, but gotta admit candy floss to matcha would be a rough transition. Like, up there with tooth paste to orange juice. 😝😆 ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah they would be a rough transition 🤣🤣 maybe it's an acquired taste I will grow to love. Should probably myself try it again lol

[@wilsonfreeburn6206]

Philly Keely is so like her mum, if I didn't give her mum breakfast in bed she would sleep to lunch time & beyond. Love your videos can't wait to you can use your drone again. Missing you both 🤣🤣

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Dad, missing you both aswell 🥰🥰 you know it makes it alot easier to get up!!!

[@brianfisher9315]

I'm not getting all your posts, I have to search for you, but I found you.

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah a few people have been telling us this 💔💔 so glad you took the time to find us Brian thankyou 🥰🥰🥰

[@lorrainestaines3538]

Own the candy floss girl xx

[@phillyandkeely]

🥰🥰🥰 I will haha

[@davidvincent2nd757]

There was a lot of beautiful things in this video . I'm especially glad you got to get in the sea . Keely I realize it's all about the math but I'm thinking your students might be quite disappointed with your pronunciation over in Japan . Google those words and touch where Google will say the word for you by looking at the definition . Was that a new swimsuit ? Glad to hear you've got a working drone . You do both seem to be so much relaxed . It's right there in your face . Personally I'd be afraid of being lost everyday and getting arrested for committing a crime I didn't know I'd even committed . Like stepping on a protected plant or something crazy like that . The poor van , so alone , so alone, all alone .

[@greenpea.]

Watching your videos is making me so excited for my trip in May 😍

[@phillyandkeely]

Woop woop. You are gonna love it!!

[@kaikito7662]

Give ' My Little Sister '' a go. It is set in the older part of Kamakura,

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks for advice 🥰🥰🥰 sadly we are gone from Kamakura now, but are friends go often so I will share this advice with them ❤️
