    There are all kinds of pickled herring around the Baltic sea. You should have it with a "schnaps" and a beer. The roll you had in Sassnitz was some kind of pickled herring I guess...

      Afternoon! 👋 Thank you, we've had a blast and it's been so varied here. German bakeries are a revelation...dangerous stuff 🤣 Spaghetti ice cream is...well, I don't get it personally as it just mashes together like normal ice cream 🤷‍♂️😂 But it seems very popular here! Thanks for watching 🤗

      Hi Karyn, yes it's absolutely huge here isn't it! Must've been so wonderful to spend time in the south, we are due to head there soon, but there have been terrible floods in the region so we're wondering whether to hold off for a bit or go elsewhere 😬 Decisions decisions! And thank you 😊 ❤

      And yes, they were tasty balls indeed! 😋 😁 Germany is wonderful so far, so much variety, I suspect we'll barely scratch the surface! Thank you ❤️

      @comealongdear  7 месяцев назад

      Oh lord that's new to us, I wonder if it was both and they were being particularly clever 😁 You've made us realise that we never acknowledged that we didn't walk to the Kongsstuhle itself in the video despite mentioning it! It was just so far up from the end we parked (near Sassnitz) that it would've taken ages to walk there and back (meaning Stephen would've killed me), which shows how big the park was, however we felt really satisfied with the bits we did see, it's all beautiful so that definitely didn't feel essential 😊

      Supermarket prices are definitely insane now, it's the new normal of course, but it's increasingly hard for many people to keep up with it. Germany the same, although the alcohol is significantly cheaper! 🍻
      The beech forest was a wonder, we'd recommend that to anyone who likes hiking through nature, but you don't have to walk very far to see it either 😁 Thank you and see you next week! 😊

    Finally cayching up on last week... Did you say no free Aires? Every German has told us so proudly about their amazing network of free motorhome park ups! Glad you are getting some sun, we know how little your seen in the UK so far this year.
    Whats your overall opinion on Germany so far, worth a visit? We are thinking about a slight detour into Germany on our way to Turkey end of the year.

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  6 месяцев назад

      Hey Darren 😊 It was mainly in that part near the North Coast we didn't notice many free aires but there is definitely more in other places. I dont think as much as France though, I feel it really depends where you go. But they definitely exist and there are other options too. Plenty of paid ones, some more reasonable than others. Regardless, Germany is 100% worth it - so much to see, so big and vast. We've loved seeing it even if our plans to explore Bavaria feel sketchy at the moment due to the floods lately. I think you'll both love it here and I'm sure you'll still find free aires as you go, we've used plenty on our way around, I just think some areas have them far more than others.
      So jealous about Turkey, we would love to take our van there! One day maybe. Safe travels ❤

    Gotta be honest I do like Germany. I've been three times in all and do plan on going back for a forth. We went to a place called Dulmen, not far from Munster. Amazing place a friendly people. Surprised you guy's haven't had a Burliner cake. They do vary slightly from region to region, but they are basically the same. Great vid and all the best lads.

      Absolutely, we understand there are reasons why these things happen, but I think for most people, their own money hasn't been able to keep up with it. Case in point - house prices!

    Do your phones take e-sim?
    If so, something like Holafly do an unlimited data Europe e-sim which you can purchase via their app for as many days as you need.
    Maybe something to consider?

    As sb thinking of getting an RV, how often do you have to empty the septitank and are the enough places where you can do that?

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  6 месяцев назад +1

      Hello, although our toilet is set up for that, we use a compostable toilet, however for chemical toilets there are usually enough places in Germany to empty we think, although it does vary from area to area. Some free, some paid for. The same as grey waste from your sink, these sites usually have those too. Apps like Park4Night can help you find them. As for how often to empty, I'm not entirely sure but I think maybe twice a week depending on how often it's used 😊

      Well I'm not sure about the rest on that list, but sauerkraut is definitely making a regular appearance as a snack or side dish affair whilst here 😁 Will have to film that to prove it now 😂
      You're definitely right and we're trying not to get too bake-happy, but damn it's hard and being here makes you want to try stuff all the time. Weirdly, being abroad makes it feel like indulging or well, doing anything a bit bad, doesn't actually count 🙃 Christ, imagine if serial killers felt like that 😬
      Anyway, it'll undoubtedly be over before we know it, although hopefully we won't be ten tonnes worse for it. I'll just drag us both up a few German hills to counter the bad effects. Stephen will love that! Thanks for joining us as always ❤️

That said, it does seem to be a lot more in Germany for that kind of thing. Oh well, we might have to plan better next time. Thanks Robert ❤️ 😊
