    Another stunning video . I love the uncrowded roads in southern Ireland. The scenery is stunning and the local people are some of the kindest and best people I've ever met anywhere.

    As someone who worked for a windscreen company, those windscreens are much stronger than you think and you can still drive. Obviously get it fixed when you can but it's not suddenly fall out or anything. They are well designed.

    Don’t worry guys we’ve had cracked windscreens (in Australia) that we’ve had for months getting them fixed for rego or if they got so bad we had no choice and had to fix it, it’s illegal to leave it real bad over here but it’s common. I walked up a dirt road to the Cliffs of Moher and a car came up behind me and asked me if it was the main road, two dirt tracks in the mud, they were from America. The southern Irish are hard to understand at times, I found it easier in the North. Ireland is absolutely beautiful, I so envy you. Brilliant video guys. 💕

    Love your vlogs. Can’t believe Janine is scared of anything. I mean you drove round India in a Tuk Tuk. There can’t be anything scarier than that. Now I want to go to Ireland 🇮🇪 and do all the things you have just done. Looks amazing 🤩

  • @felixstroud-allen6283
    @felixstroud-allen6283 Год назад +11

    The wild Atlantic coast looks AMAZING and not busy like the NC 500. Don’t worry about the camper and small roads, the transporter has the same footprint as a large estate car. Also your trip in India has inspired us. Just booked a holiday in Sri Lanka and we are going to drive round Sri Lanka in Tuk Tuk

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno Год назад

      The NC500 is on the same landmass as 65 million people whereas the WAW had only 7 million. And the WAW is spread over 3x the distance so there less concentration of people doing the route. I live on it and there hasn’t been an appreciable difference in traffic since it began as a thing. In more remote parts it probably has but there has been no backlash like I’ve heard about in Scotland.

    We get that on our Bassin d'archacon around 5 in the morning, you need to sleep on a boat to see it, amazing. We were in a similar place to you in Galicia and I'm sure it would be great there as well. We were on a tiny camp site with a view of a fjord with a beautiful tiny beach, crystalline waters and dolphins at sunset 😊

    yes that’s a pretty knarly crack in your window, hope you can get it sorted sooner rather than later. Haha, that cable car looks so cool, although with the high winds I’m sure it could produce a butt clenching experience on the wrong day lol, love the dodgy door lol.

    @susana.2631 Год назад +3

    You sometimes have to use your hand or a stick or something in the water, move it around and then you can see the bioluminescence. But you do have to agitate the water a bit to see it.😁😁 Absolutely beautiful place!!!

    @eugeneomalley8407 Год назад

    I live in Cork and over the years have done a lot of sailing on the south west coast of Ireland. I know Lochine (Lough Hyne) and have been in and around it but have not particularly associated bioluminescence with it. Personally I have experienced that bioluminescence in the open sea in the general area of Baltimore. My understanding is that it has to do with the presence of plankton.
    Lochine is an inland lake which is exposed to sea tides. There is a constant interplay between the freshwater and the sea water. This is what is unique. Lochine is half sea water and half fresh water.
    I love your videos I drive a VW California T6 as my daily drive and any of the narrow roads / lanes you referred to would not put me off. VWT6 has the same footprint as a big car.

    @vickynolan6449 Год назад +2

    Hi, am enjoying watching your Irish trip. If you are going on the Tarbert ferry I would highly recommend going to Kilkee. There are plenty of places to park up and you really need to go back the West End to the Pollock Holes and then beyond to the cliff walk. In my opinion it's far better than the Cliffs of Moher. There's a natural amphitheatre and Kilkee is full of fascinating history. The famous print of Chè Guevara was drawn there, and one of the Bronte sisters honeymooned in a house beside Dunlicky Road, on your way to the Cliff Walk. There's too much to mention but if you get there I don't think that you will be disappointed.
