- Join us, a middle-aged couple traveling the world in our motorhome as we continue to explore Greece. In this week's motorhome adventure you find us in a mountain campsite where we take an unexpectedly difficult hike to a chapel. We then take the Dirfis Pass, a mountain road that leads from on side of the Greek island of Evia to the other. Nothing could prepare us for what would be the best drive we've ever undertaken.

Love the new intro and Theseus is absolutely gorgeous, just like Spud and Bart xx
Enjoyed the video this week guys back to your old self
Thanks Willie. It was a phenomenal drive over the mountain. We really enjoyed it. 😬💜🤟
The snow! Wowsers, that changed rapidly. Amazing views and to see the mountains deep in the white stuff feels very special, but don't think Stephen or Daisy would fancy driving up there much 🙈
Fab new intro Darren, very well put together 😁
Don't blame you about the sponsors. What you say is exactly what we've feared. We've had loads of emails asking us to do something, but it's either impractical for us (e-bikes, which we can't store etc) or not of great interest (a water filter, a coffee maker). And realistically, we know we're not likely to gain much from it, if anything financially, to make it worthwhile. We'd have to be much bigger as a channel to negotiate that. Plus it's more stuff to film on top of everything else. We're not ruling it out entirely, but it's certainly not on the horizon for us.
By the way, bless Bart climbing up that mountain and then crashing afterwards, he did good ❤️
Safe travels guys, much love ❤️🤟
Hey guys,
Although there were heaps of snow, thankfully the roads were really well cleared albeit slightly disintegrating. 🤷🏼♀️
Glad you to like the new intro. Darren spent hours on it, bless him. We still have a satnav that was sent to us at the end of last year, that finally arrived in Greece last week (took 6 weeks to get from the UK to Greece 😱)
As for the sponsors, yes, we're just not willing to sell our souls and lose our integrity. If the companies were happy with genuine reviews, it would have been a different matter, but sending a proposed favourable script with a product to a reviewer is more than a little naughty.
As for Bart... He's a dude. He's always loved adventures, but he's getting old and like me (Alison) he needs a good siesta after an adventure. 🤣
Take care guys, much love. 😘💜🤟
Cool new intro! The coastal view was beautiful. It seems it has rained more than usual in some parts of the world. Cute little chapels.
Hey Kat,
Thanks, glad you like it. 😬 We're not sure how much rain is normal for that area of Greece, but they'd had a LOT of rain. We think Greek chapels are the cutest that we've seen so far.
Much love 💜🤟
Hello Darren and Allison. Another great video produced by you. Thank you once again for this tour. Hope one of the Greek mayors sees your video to fix those roads, rather scary driving there. You are both such moral people not taking on the sponsors. Gods blessings be richly in abundance on you both. Take care till next week.
Hey Jenny,
To be fair, I don't think the road gets used all that much and a lot of damage is probably done in the winter. We're guessing they'll fix them in the spring, if they have the money. The roads that had subsided badly were closed and being dealt with.
Thank-you. We just don't believe in promoting something that we wouldn't use, know of a better product or we don't think is worth the money. 🤷🏼♀️ We wouldn't want to be tricked by someone into buying something, so we won't do it to someone else.
We're glad you enjoyed the video.
Much love, 😘💜🤟
Spectacular intro!!
Very broad weather/temperature spectrum this week.
I really liked the driving part of the video, so many different road .. conditions.. glad you made it safely through (did those sturdy tires help?)
Always a joy to watch (and helps me start the week tomorrow 🙂)
Hi..! We're so glad you like the new intro. Darren spent hours creating it. 😬
The vast difference in temperature is often similar in Spain. Warm during the day, but cold at night. The fluctuations because of the height difference had an impact too. The drive over the mountain was really enjoyable in a sick way. 🤣 Perse's new hiking shoes made all the difference we're sure. When we arrived in Greece and drove over the mountain in the north, we lost traction a few times, but this journey, we didn't lose traction once. It's great and we're so glad that we had them fitted.
Glad to help get you through the week. 😉 This week's Buy Me A Coffee Journal should be released tomorrow evening to give you something to read during the rest of the week. 😬
Have a great week. Much love 😘💜🤟
So brave them roads 😳. Beautiful ❤
We can laugh about it now Rachy, but they were a bit sketchy at the time. 😱💜🤟
Fab, thanks 😊
Our pleasure Simon.
Glad you liked it.
Much love 💜🤟
Great new intro 👍
Thanks Dave, glad you like it. 😬💜🤟
Ooh snazzy new titles. I like x
😬Thank you Roger. Darren spent hours putting those together. Glad you like them. 😘💜🤟
Brave people ! Travelling on the mountains there in the middle of the winter! I'm glad you enjoyed the drive and the scenery.. That vintage point at 28:39 is one of the best in Evia. Below you could see Hiliadou beach and Metohi beach . Although you are in East Evia from that point you look straight west and you can see some spectacular sunsets especially in the summer. I really enjoy that road in the spring and summer with my motorcycle..
Hey Ant,
We hope to be able to drive the road again at another time and stay overnight in the mountains too fully appreciate the views and hike the mountain too. Sadly with so much snow, there was nowhere to stop and it would have been dangerous for us to hike. We really enjoyed our time on Evia. We will definitely be back.
Much love 💜🤟
Hello guys ... first of all e erywhete you go its a hike 😂 but that was not 20 min. The chapel was lovely but I might have felt it was horrible to get there for what it turned out to be. BUT I stop at e ery church, large or small, and am.used to seeing many all over in Greek islands. Like that lovely blue/white by boats. So cute and so typical. I think the place you are at is just your nice down to earth very greek town. No monuments or ruins but no tourists. Just folks living their lives - lovely and peaceful.
Now, i laughed the roads might be normal in Panama. Holes, no roads, mudslides, you name it ... especially if you are away from city. But it's the sort of thing you have to watchnout for cause something happens to Perse up there you could be up the creek.
Soooo happy you feel more relaxed and not so obligated. Just do you. You are on your life adventure and this is not meant to be a job! Stay safe! Always have you in my prayers for safety. Bart looking good❤, Theo looked snuggled and comfy! ❤
Hey Elaine,
It was a very peaceful island. It mostly had a relaxed vibe all round. We stop at quite a lot of the churches, but a lot of them are locked up. The down side of modern society where we need to lock everything for safety. 🤷🏼♀️
I can laugh about the roads now that we aren't on them. 🤣
I think we're both still missing our furbabies and trying not to let it show is exhausting.
If anything happened to Perse it would be a complete pain trying to find somewhere to stay with the furkids until she was fixed. Fingers crossed it won't happen.
Much love 😘💜🤟
Hi guys, sorry for not leaving any comments recently. Please be assured I watch every episode and absolutely love what you're doing...travelling the world ❤. Theo is such a cutey and so lucky he found you . We'd love it if Lukey would accept a harness to go hiking with us. More chance of flying to the moon 😂 Pleased you've cut the work load too. Enjoying yourselves is the ultimate aim. Sending big hugs and much love ❤❤❤
Hey Susie, hubby and the luscious Luca..! You never need to apologise poppet. The world is a busy place. Glad you're still enjoying the videos. 😍
Have you tried Luca with a harness..?!? They seem to take to them easier than I thought. We also tried it with Havoc and Chaos, the fosters we had before we bought Perse. They got on well with them. Spud was 6 when he started wearing his, so as much as it's easier when they're younger, you can teach an old cat (not that Luca is old) new tricks. 😬 Bribery works wonders. We actually had our first family walk with both Bart and Theo, along a beach the other day. Theo loves his dog and was quite happy to trot along with us. Normally I take him out on his own and he demonstrates his wilful side. 🤣 He likes to climb up trees occasionally. He's great going up, then kind of runs out of steam, turns and drops like a stone. Thankfully I now know I have to catch him. 🤣🤣🤣
Hope you guys are all well. Much love, huge hugs and butt scratches for Luca..! 🐾😘💜🤟
@@findingxanadulifewe've tried Luca on a harness a couple of times, but he's having none of it, bless him. He likes to do things HIS way 😂😂😂😂. xxx
@thegalaxywoman We have the bonus that Theo is SO good orientated that bribery works quite well, although he hates being picked up outside. When a street dog came to say hello, I picked him up and he flipped out, preferring to bush himself up on the ground than be protected... 🤦🏼♀️ He hasn't got the idea that on the humans shoulders is the safest place. He bit me for my efforts to get him back in the motorhome for safety. 🤷🏼♀️🤬🤣
Cats hey..?!? 🤷🏼♀️ We still love 'em.
😘💜🤟
@@findingxanadulifeWouldn't be without them ❤❤x
@thegalaxywoman Nope, never 🐈⬛🐈😘💜🤟
Καλό ταξίδι! Helmets only in winter to keep our ears warm!
Thanks, We're really enjoying our time in your country.
Much love 💜🤟
❤hiya from old me, cant blame you about sponsors, you'd I'd right not to be brought, so much rubbish outthere with vloggers and most of us just skip past it❤ as a treat gone premiun you tube for a while, all of us like you just as you ❤are
Hey Heidi,
Thanks for understanding. We wouldn't want to be tricked into buying something that isn't worth the money, so we don't intend to be part of tricking someone else into doing it.
Aaah no ads..! Well done.
We're glad to like us as we are, we're far too old to change now. 🤣🤣
Much love 😘💜🤟
