This is the first time we have taken our dog Teddy a border terrier to France . It was all very simple but needed some planning to ensure everything was in place to ensure he had all the correct paperwork and vaccinations as well as making the journey as comfortable as we could for him. We chose to cross the channel using the Eurotunnel as the crossing only takes 35 minutes and we stayed with T...

France for Christmas - From Christmas in the Dordogne to New year on a farm in the Limousin
What a lovely place ! Greatings from the Czech republic.
It certainly is . Thanks for watching
Could't find the link for the drone 🙂.
Hi ErivTheHiking we are not affiliated marketeers yet . i’ll send you the picture of what we have and description if that helps
a.co/d/fEhlds3 there you go 😀
@@AYearOut thanks
Born and lived there for 20 ish years before I moved away, too many holiday makers, its overrun. Not a nice place to live due to that.
That is so sad . We visited in April so was relatively quiet but could imagine how busy and congested it would get in the summer . We would like to move closer to the sea but it’s finding somewhere that is a small town that has a community in and out of season and not too busy in peak season . Thanks for your comments it’s great to get a locals perspective
absolutely gorgeous! xxx
We do love visiting Ruth and family
Last week and we were 3 days , very beautiful place 😍😍😍We loved St Ives ❤
It is such a beautiful place . Glad you enjoyed your stay . Did you get to see the Minack theatre ? any recommendations for places to eat ?
We definitely want yo try this, but feel need to get a bit fitter. I get motion sickness a lot so mught need to adjust first in Cusco. Well fone for doing it.
We did quite a few big hikes before doing the trek . it’s the altitude that gets you . we definitely needed 3days to acclimatise to the altitude . There were people with lots of different fitness levels and the guides were brilliant with adapting to everyone’s needs and fitness levels
Thinking of investing a Water to go bottle very handy, we found too much plastic water bottles floating around Asia when we travelled. We use most of what you recommend, its always a learning curve. Thanks for sharing 👍
They are great just don’t put them in the dishwasher 😩
I like your big cross chest bag, but I can´t find it on Amazon. Could you please send me the link? Thank you!
Hi unfortunately i dont have a link but on amazon this is the description / ithe DKIIL NOIYB Store 4.3 622 DKIIL NOIYB Crescent Bag for Women, Nylon Crescent Bags Hobos Crossbody Bag Portable Crescent Purse with Adjustable Strap Solid Color Chest Bag Shoulder Bag
Great video guys! Had an amazing time with you both!
thank you . Hope the travels are still going well . Don’t forget to get in touch when you get to the Uk x
I got stopped carrying on my 25,000 aH large power Bank... can't remember where.. Tawain or Vietnam..but I got a warning of sorts...I gave it to my husband and he never was approached about it...
thanks for that i’ll look into it good to know
If you go to the north part of vietnam like Fansipan, Sapa bring wind jacket.
Thanks so much for the tip!!
My husband and I carry that pack. Love it. Thanks for sharing ❤️
They are brilliant .
Looking forward to watching your Peru etc adventures so we can get tips of what to do or what not to do. We have just completed our Vietnam trip so hopefully we will start uploading that if you want want some tips on that too. lovely to see more couples of a similar age who are exploring the world too......just something its lovely to meet Sarah miles etc, and people in your previous vlogs, I just wondered what the connection was ? are they family?
Hi we only visited Cusco and then did the epic 4 day inca trail in Peru . Watch out machupicchu video it will give you some insights into the country .
@@AYearOut yes watched it was really interesting.... We might have to train to build a bit of stamina and fitness before we go, but thanks for getting back to me
Do you have more details or the link to the lock? Thanks!
We bought it from B&Q a hard ware store for £2.50 ish it’s very small with three numbers to lock .
Thanks for your feedback . yes we stay in hostels we had a private rooms so paid a bit more but we loved the atmosphere and meeting so many travellers so we could share experiences .
This was a really great video! I will watch your videos going forward. Thanks for sharing. Do you stay in hostels? can you give a review on hostels as an adult over 33 years old?
In vietnam the hotel are very cheap. I rent a 3 person room/family room and i only need to pay $20
Hi Kathy Thanks for comment. We stayed mostly in Hostels and used both booking.com and also Hostelworld app. Because we are a couple we always had a double room. |Our experience of the hostels we stayed in was really positive. Hope that helps
Me alegra mucho q Allan disfrutado de nuestro hermoso pais.. siempre bienvenidos
Such a great clip! Loving it. It’s exactly the holidays we love! Enjoy!
Love these weekly updates. Xx.
Tan looks great! And the mic is fantastic, really really clear difference with and without. Great investment for sure!
We haven’t been using our mics as much as we thought we would as finding them a bit of a faff to set up each time we want to use . Our next video in france touring the perigord noir we have set up the 360 and kept the microphone set up all day and that felt a lot simpler
Absolutely fabulous idea! 😊
Thank you! 😊
