You are so lovely, Imo, thank you 🙏😊 I don't know how you maintain your daily vlogs as this punishing schedule is killing us 🤣 Seriously though, we can only just manage it while we're here in New Zealand for 3 months, chilling with family and not travelling... otherwise we struggle to put up 1 per week! You did brilliantly during your 2 weeks in Portugal... we're back up north in our off-grid hut, but I'll binge watch your videos when we're back in Auckland next week! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Another great vlog! Reality (Buses) and Glamour (Ferraris) this time 😊 I can't believe that you can find so many cheap, good eateries. It's about thinking outside the box. I can remember eating in the university café and the railway workers dinner in Venice because it was so cheap and delicious. What was your best value meal, when eating out? Christmas in other countries is always fascinating. Isn't it? I can see how much work has gone into this film. Thanks. I really enjoyed it.
Hello Julie, and thank you for your lovely comment. I can't actually think of our best value meal... the €7.95 menu do dia at the South African restaurant in Cascais would have to be up there, as it was an incredible tasty and filling find in such an expensive location! It was amazing to see how many Christmas decorations were up... 'tis the shopping season everywhere 😉😊 ~ Mandy 😀😁
Hi Many and Lee, I am intrigued with the Pod vehicle. I didn’t know about Ferrari World until now, it looks interesting. You can’t go wrong with Ikea’s breakfast. 😋 The dinner looks delicious within a good budget. Thank you for sharing another great video!
Hello Sue, and thank you so much for your wonderful comment! It is always so lovely to hear from you, and we value and appreciate your kind words more than we can ever express! We are so happy that you enjoyed this video, and would like to thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment! 🙏😊 ~ Mandy 😀😁
Hi Mandy / Lee, Nothing to do with ur upload but the more I watch videos about Abu Dhabi, the less I find that city appealing. Everything they have built is beautiful, they have jaw dropping buildings / artworks but I somehow find the place soulless. Thanks for the upload, we'll see you guys on Saturday, take care 😉
Hello SERGIO. Thank you so much for your honest feedback. We did have a really good time in Abu Dhabi, so I feel a bit bad that we're not showing the simple things there that we really enjoyed. At least this is our last full Abu Dhabi video as Saturday's vlog is about our bargain flight to Kuwait 😀😁 I'm currently working on our second Kuwait video, and I really hope you enjoy that series more as we had an incredible time in Kuwait thanks to our awesome Couchsurfing host! We hope you have a wonderful week, and thank you again for taking the time to write, as we always love to hear from you! ~ Mandy 🙏😀😊
@@FrugalTravellers Good evening Mandy! As you understood my comment wasn't about the video itself. I came across many videos of the Emirates and I cannot connect with what they achieved there. It feels like the Las Vegas of the middle East. Looking forward for them Kuwait videos. It feels weird to wish you a good evening while being early here! But anyway, you guys have good one, chat later ☺️
@@SERGIO-cr6uy You are so lovely, SERGIO 😀😁 It's 20:45 here, and as it's pitch black outside it's making me sleepy 😁 I know what you mean about the UAE being the more Westernised and glitzy side of the Middle East. It was a great place for us to start, and then have our immersion into Kuwaiti life. Have a lovely Thursday, and we'll chat to you on Sunday... your Saturday 😁😀 ~ Mandy
@@marcccx don't mistake New with Organised. Having buildings 100m apart cut by a 6 lanes motorway isn't what i would call organised. Also my comment about the city being soulless (in oposite to "Chaming")
You manage to show us the "other side", i.e. where 'non-frugals' enter, of these places and yet keep it relatively cheap. As awe inspiring as some of these parks and malls are they don't compare to a walk through a Potuguese market or a Spanish beach or an Italian park. As always, thanks for all your great work in showing us just what awaits us if we travel in your footsteps.
Thank you so much, Mac Cat. Your lovely comment really means a lot to us, and we appreciate your kindness. We are so excited about going to new countries and sharing them with you all, so it's great to know that we still have such lovely viewers along for the journey! ~ Mandy 🙏😀😁
That's a great question, Alison. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are so different, and I'm pleased we spent time in both. I'm not sure if you've seen any of our Dubai videos, so here's our UAE playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLCmNbKU5iMrldLG5hm-8BxeVJMOgUO6-M If you have the time, and can find the type of accommodation you're after, I think it would be a great idea to stay in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and have "the village" and "the city" experiences 😀😁 ~ Mandy
Thanks to this, I've just discovered that they ae different, with laban being made from milk directly that is made to ferment and is then strained. Ayran is made by mixing yogurt with water and salt. It's so interesting, so thank you for your great question ! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Another really interesting and enjoybale vlog. :) I'm glad there are two a week coming up.

Cool video guys.
Lol, I'm a big fan of IKEA restaurants too. It was the only place in Iceland where we could afford to eat out.
Hello Cindy! That's a great tip for our future Iceland trip so thank you! ~ Mandy 😀😁

Hello Mohamed! We had an excellent time in Abu Dhabi and look forward to returning in August! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers the sea world will opening on may

I was thinking of going to Dubai, do you think there is enough to do in Abu Dhabi for week. 2 weeks?
