Wish i was where you are xx
Yes, life is too short to worry about the future ❤️
I’m liking the price difference in portugal, we might one day get back to going abroad and Portugal sounds doable for our finances, just the dog situation puts us off but we need to look into it a bit more, really enjoyed your banter as always 🥰👊👍🚌🐕🇬🇧
Love you two so much! ❤
Thank you Shirley ❤️
Hi Steve and Wendy
We love your videos and sense of humour.can’t wait for the campsite tour.
Our sons dog has had cushings disease for a few years "it is managed with medication and he is still going strong so certainly not a death sentence.atb to you both and pippin 🙄❤️
Hi Sharon thanks so much for your comment and really happy that you are enjoying the videos 👍😀😎
Hello Steve Wendy and our lovely Pipin wow your camp site is so cheap what a fabulous find.
I do remember your cheap camp sites in Spain in Banos.
We are in Costa del sol enjoing the sun useing aires no camp sites as all full. 🇪🇸😎 x
Yes it’s super good value here. Good you’re getting lots of sunshine. Castro Verde area feels like and English Summer day most of the time. Very changeable 🤪
Hi i dip in and out of your vlogs. You have made Portugal sound great for a winter break. Lime the spending review. Will go back acouple of vlogs to catch up
Thank you ❤️
by law dogs must be leached in public but few are the ones who pratice it; the general feeling is: let dogs be dogs, however responsibility stay with the owner (or insurance).
and yes, we value our freedom. that comes with the responsability of not disturbing anyone's freedom/rights. i'm glad you enjoyed our little portugal!
safe journey! 🤠😎
Thanks for the info 👍
Hi guys, I made the decision to go completely offgrid in April 23. I think the last time I was on a campsite in the UK was October 23. Yes it costs a lot but by not using the campsites you get your money back say over 12/18 months. I'm still at Canterbury PnR £4 a day. I looked into paying for 1 night at Canterbury CCC almost £17 a night just for me. Without membership it's just over £26 a night. Off-grid is definitely the way to go, more freedom! Sounds like you struck gold where you are now. I was laughing when you said about lifting your feet when the cleaner was in 😂
Today Sunday 02/02 is a beautiful day not a cloud in the sky, last night was 0c 🥶 now is 4c. Best wishes Mac 😊
Hey Mac, good to hear from you. Hope things are OK.
Glad you enjoyed the joke.
Yes more off grid is the way to go. We’ve planned on upgrading the van with more battery, dc charger and lots of solar. PLUS we now have 3 power banks at a total of 5000 watt hours which is about 400 amp hours so I think we’ll be well set for more off grid which will leave us more money for beer 👍😎😀
@TheHappyTravellers Hi Steve sounds great 👍 can't go wrong with more beer 🍻 cheers to you both 😀👍
Wow £7 including EHU 😱
Such fantastic value compared to the UK
Have you thought about the 180 Day French Visa? Costs ~ €150 and allows multiple entry / exits ( through France ) for the duration of the visa. Can visit other countries as well 👍
Thank you. Yes we are considering all visa options. You are right the French tourist visa looks like a good option.
Amazing how cheap is the campsite you are staying
I think you are right, the S is pronounced SH in Portuguese
❤👍
Yes the site is good and many returning people from mainly Netherlands and Germany.
Ah, my language guessing is working 👍
Hi Wendy,Steve & pippin..that campsite is really cheap, in the future,it's def somewhere we would stay..aww Wendy,I'm sorry about pippin,it's very upsetting..I'm jealous of the weather u got,I'm at home with the heating on😂,take care x
Thank you, we are glad we have a pushchair for pippin as she gets very tired quite quickly.
Hope you can stay warm ❤️
Great at £20 pd.
What will be your total miles covered & fuel costs be once you've returned to the UK?
I think we are about 1500 miles so far but we will know the real distance when we have made the journey.
The N2 Route is about 768kms (about 470 miles) but we are going back on a different route through Spain.
hiya thanks for you budget feedback, gives us an idea what we are looking at when we start full time travel in June, can i ask what travel insurance do you have ? we've been looking at a packpackers from True traveller comes in at £722 for 12months
Hi, Glad you enjoyed the video :)
We vary on insurance but have mostly used "Red Pennant" for the 90 day trips PLUS the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) which allows emergency treatment to be covered under the NHS. Local hospitals can then "charge back" the costs to the UK NHS.
Pre-Brexit we used the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) and had one occasion in 2019 /2020 where I had to spend a week in Hospital for Gall Bladdeer Issues. All covered by EHIC and a UK Passport.
Insurance is a funny thing as it's SO variable in costs depending on who you are and how the insurance company see your risk profile. Also how "Risk Averse" you are AND how you live your life.
I know that is all a bit vague but I hope it gives you a flavour of how we approach insurance. I guess from an insurnace company perspective, we woould be fairly high risk, being that we are late 60s, overweight and have existing medical issues.
