Love to visit Venice. I have been to Venice of the east, Zhujiajiao outside Shanghai. And it's not as crowded as Venice ;) It was ok i say :) Looking forward to your Croatia serie..
I like the budgety way you went, because a lot ppl wanting to travel are not loaded but want to travel. Loved the food discriptions too. Great video without all the complicated Italian names because there are a lot of them.
Your rooftop chat encapsulation of Venice (and all places) is so genuinly right-You guys give an experience unlike so many others. I really look forward to your end of video chats. I love that one of your primary focusees is through the foods,general views,and just simple wanderings(lust)! You guys should be on the Travel Channel---naw.....just stay who ya’ll are!❤️
"You guys should be on the Travel Channel" I know, right? If they chose to go that route, I'd be happy for them. But to be honest, I'm kinda glad to keep them "our little secret."
The two of you are awesome. You make everything interesting. I don't think we have ever watched people's vlog for more than 15 minutes but yours actually leaving you wanting more.
After a tough day at work, it's always nice to see a new Kyde and Eric video in your feed. It's basically like the feeling you get on Christmas morning.
I love the way you guys to the time to really look around Venice and not just stick to a strict schedule of tourist spots. I’ve never been but I honestly feel like what you did might be the best way to explore the city and find all of those awesome books and crannies! Also just a random side note my profile picture is from an anime and manga that is set in Venice called Aria the Animation
Really enjoying your Europe trip videos. Nice edit overlaying the street guitar music from the last Venice video to the beginning of this one- perfect transition.
Very nice video. You're definitely right about the museums. I still love them if not for the actual architecture themselves and seeing more buildings inside. But, I do love the cityscapes and seeing more of the hustle and bustle of the people who live and work there probably even more! :) I like your take on exploration. You offer different things to what normal tourists do and that's why I continue to love your videos years after discovering your channel. Great work, guys! :D
Eric dude all i can think of whenever you wear that blue hoody and red hat is a gnome haha, though i guess it'd be easy for Kyde to find you if you ever get separated. "Are you looking for someone?" "My husband" "What does he look like?" "A gnome" "Ahh yes he went that way"
Another great video, totally agree about avoidance of making your videos about all the tourist hotspots. I love watching your vlogs as you go to local spots and see things that are out of the ordinary. X
I agree.. you can show us parts of these places that not many travelers seem to explore. You bring us to the fringe .... and I love it! I do enjoy museums but on the other hand I also like the kind of content you bring to us viewers. It's very educational and fun when you are candid and do things your way! I appreciate you guys..and always look forward to the new videos you bring out! xoxo
I am headed to Venice May or June of this year and your videos popped up. Well, I am now a fan after watching only two of them. I will be binge watching. I love that you amble your way through a city and are just so laid back. I love your descriptiveness of foods and places, little nooks and crannies and the overall vibe of you two. Thank you for making them and I took notes!
Wonderful! Glad you are enjoying! Here is the little wine place we found: goo.gl/maps/GAFw3MBBAg52 And the best pizza we found: goo.gl/maps/LxnHi3SjkX32
Another beautifully made video to transport us. I really look forward to your uploads. I really find the pastel painted houses charming. It looks like something you see in mass produced art...but it is the real thing. Safe travels!
I LOVE Tiramisu!! I make a no-egg, decaf, non-alcoholic version and it's my favourite dessert! The "custard" is whipped mascarpone cheese and the "cake" is lady finger biscuits. The lady fingers are quite dry and they soak up the coffee, so they become soft like cake.
Visited Venice in 2016. I'm enamored with the city, its architecture, its history, its food. It's my favorite city in Italy. Well, it's hard to pick because Florence is also wonderful. So I'm looking forward to your month-long visit to Italy. Thanks for bringing back fond memories.
I'm the guy that commented on the second venice video about the format and how much i enjoied it, just changed my nick. As far as i know every cemetery in italy has pictures of the deceased on the tombstone. I can tell you that when someone dies in your family and you need to arrange for funeral and burial one of the things you have to think about is what picture of the person is gonna end up on the tombstone. I'm pretty excited about you going to croatia as well. I've been to croatia last year and it was a very good experience. If you enjoy nature you cannot miss the Plitivice lakes park. It is incredible. I'm also looking forward to you coming back to Italy! Thanks for the video!
The photos are a neat touch! It got me thinking what photo I'd want on my tombstone, haha. Croatia was amazing to us too! Hope you enjoy the series, it'll be on it's way soon. -E
Italian food is usually really amazing...I love the part when you try describing things you have never had before...fun fun fun...Again, you brought joy to my day...Thanks K&E...
Thank you, thank you. I just happened on your video and it was such a treat. Went to Italy:Venice and the three islands, plus last year. I love Italy. Seeing it again through your eyes brought back sweet memories. Did the whole tourist group thing for our first European trip. It was a good introduction but think your way of exploration is just lovely. We finally got the guts to explore on our own when we got to Florence and Rome as we tired of typical buffet food and on the hunt for Risotto. Enjoy your travels. Your positive attitude even though not everything is perfect is so refreshing. And yea, what the heck IS with the toilets without seats?
Matzo ball soup is pretty common where I live so it was kinda funny when Kyde thought it was meat, but she has a good point, it does have kind of a meaty sensation. Overall great job on the Venice series!
I just got back from Croatia and had your vids on before I went so thanks for all the recommendations. Only new to this channel, you guys are great...long live papa smurf hat Eric! Kyde you're hilarious 😂
We have a large Jewish community where I live so I'm well acquainted with the food. The Matzoh ball soup is just comfort food, it's not really amazing but it's what you eat to remind you of grandma and home and feeling better when you feel poorly. There's no meat in it, it's just a big dumpling made from unleavened bread. Jewish food is kinda relaxed, I don't really know of any "fancy" dishes. Smoked brisket is as close to a "fancy" dish as I can think of. Most of it is of the "grandma used to make this" category of dish.
Yes they use schmalz. Egg binds the matzoh, but the schmalz is used for flavouring and improved texture. You can make dumplings without fat but they tend to turn into something akin to rubber. Schmalz is mostly chicken fat but also goose and duck as well. I did my research for an experimental recipe that was chicken soup inspired. It worked too. It was a focaccia bread made from traditional Thanksgiving stuffing seasonings. I used poultry fat instead of olive oil in the recipe. Herbs, onions, a touch of chicken broth. Tasted just like turkey stuffing.
My family is from the East Coast and I grew up around mostly Jewish people, I had NO IDEA there were in Venice! And it’s amusing to see someone who knows so little about the food/culture (though I’m sure those of us familiar would learn something too). So, while I know little about Venice pastry, I /do/ know what Jewish food tastes like, so I can compare that to what your think. YES, the food is “comfort food”, the Jewish-American Delis, at least. It’s how I learned to love chopped chicken liver at a young age. And then potato pancakes, blitzes, tongue sandwich (yum)...not low calorie! GREAT PICKLES and GREAT FISH (especially smoked).
44/5000 Your final comment deserves applause. I wish you to visit the Italian peninsula. I live in Bergamo in northern Italy. In northern Italy the cuisine is decent, including Venice. In central and southern Italy the level of culture and gastronomic tradition is indescribable. Italy in addition to the most popular tourist destinations offers many pleasant surprises. I wish you to discover them even in a small way. Pizza and ice cream are just the typical tourist symbol, in Italy there is an incredible gastronomic variety. For your spirit of adventure and your way of traveling, which I appreciate, I wish you to organize a trip to Emilia, Tuscany, Marche, Abruzzo, etc ... Sicily. I have visited almost all of Europe and I have enjoyed many countries. but I guarantee you that the center - south of Italy will make you fall in love I apologize for my english it is the translator's fault thanks for your videos ciao
Thank you!! We very much want to re-visit Italy, just Venice was one of our favorite places. Someday we want to rent a car and explore the entire peninsula for a few months! Your message made me hungry, haha! -Eric
Locanda Cipriani on the island of Torcello is one of the best and most famous restaurants in the Venetian Lagoon; it was a favourite of Ernest Hemingway.
If you were going back to Italy it's worth trying bologna - beautiful city that's not too touristy as it's primarily a university city. Easy to get to , not too expensive and can be a hub for lots of excellent towns in the vicinity . Keep up the good work good people .
Have been to Venice a number of times already and can’t wait to go back. To get the most out of the city, tour in the evening when most people have gone. The toilet seat issue is due to some people standing instead of sitting on the seats and breaking the seat.
I'm curious, when you guys travel to different spots and film in shops and restaurants, do you have to ask permission? And do you ever get told that you're not allowed? Venice looks spectacular. Would really love to travel there someday.
Usually when we film in places we try to keep to ourselves and not bother others. We will sometimes ask for seats away from other customers, or away from loud music, but usually we don't need to ask permission to film. It happens sometimes, but it's rare. Basically, most of the time people hardly even notice what we are up to. -E
Love your Venice series! Great preparation for the trip my wife and I are going on in a few weeks. Our first stop is Venice. Your videos have me excited to explore! I definitely want to see Burano! 😀
AWESOME! Here is a link to the little wine shop we found in the first video: goo.gl/maps/1ytXGRVkr8U2 And the best pizza in the city (hit the wine shop first): goo.gl/maps/R99hJaoDDfE2
I played kerplunk growing up with my brothers, my nan use to have a load of old board games in my dad's old room in her house in London, so when we'd visit every other Sunday, we'd all play old board games, or cricket in the back garden, or a game of "hide the frogs" (Don't ask) But kerplunk was always one of the favourite games to play over the years growing up, simple game, but way really fun, before Iphones and video games.
Thanks for another great video. I wondered whether those croquette type thingies were hot ot cold when you were eating them. Also do you speak Italian when you're buying food or manage with just a few words plus pointing?
19:30 Is Entenmann's the doughnut you were thinking off? Kinda looks like a flat, crispy one. ❤🍩 Meringues are awesome, too! I love how wonderfully descriptive you are when it comes to food! Drool!
Really enjoyed watching your Venice vids, but I'm really excited to see the Croatia ones. I have no idea why, but I've always wondered what Croatia is like. And like you guys said about Venice, you're more in to seeking out the nooks and crannies. For me, that shows the true nature of somewhere and gives you a better insight in to the way of life of the natives. Great work guys. Safe journey and I look forward to seeing your next adventure 👍
Went to Venice with my siblings for a few days in 2015. My sister caught bed bugs, and honestly the city just seemed dirty and unkempt to us. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, though. Found your channel recently and I just love your chemistry!
That creamy eggplant pate is actually Baba Ganoush! It's middle eastern in origin. Also I used to collect murano glass pendants as a teen. They were so beautiful!
Okay did y'all notice the tables and the little risers that are all over the place when you were in Venice just recently I think before you guys got there the whole place was flooded and they had those is elevated walkways it's on RUclips and yes in Rome and Italy last year there were tons of the toilets without the lids love you guys videos
About 13 :00 Eric with that flower behind his ear, LOL. And that food looked SO good. Somehow, eating Cheerios while watching doesn't quite compare. I love that you guys are so cheap. Wait, that didn't come out right...
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching you walk around the city. I love museums I wish you could enjoy them as much as I do. I agree I don't think a video of the inside a museum would be a good video.
I couldn't make out the titles on the emergency boat at about 33:00 . Fire brigade? Any Italians on here know? I'm sort of an emergency buff, so just curious. Nice catch.
Yea, it was the only one we saw but it was awesome to see. I took a look at the video frame-by-frame, looks like it's an ambulance. i.imgur.com/NfQD7zT.jpg
You know where all the Italian kids were? Scotland!-lol We just returned from Edinburgh and the kids just loaded up the busses there. Loved your videos from Scotland and learned a lot from you, like stay in the vehicle and not try to climb random hills. Actually there are groups of climbers who make it their thing to try to climb every peak in the Highlands.
I have been there 30 years ago and would like to see it again. But it is one big tourist trap. It is hard to believe but there is about 20.000.000 visitors a year, so prices are extreme. But is it still possible, as you show, to find something affordable. Perhaps I have missed a video. Where did you live at what was the price.
Yea, it's totally possible to get out of the tourist trap bit, especially if you stay in the city and explore at night after all the cruise ships have left. Not sure which Venice videos you saw, we have three. Here are the other two. ruclips.net/video/bebvzUa4pAs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xJREP24tWxo/видео.html
Hi guys really enjoy your vlogs I was surprised how nice and interesting Venice was. And that you could find things that were not super expensive. I'm looking forward to Croatia.
Lol I was enjoying watching the video so much I forgot to take notes: - All the treats looked so yummy - I don't think I even Knew there were islands that were part of the Venice area, so that was interesting to see. Added both to my travel list :) - I AM a museum person (as I believe I've mentioned before. VERY history/archaeology/museum oriented), and so the point about the museums being expensive along with the sometimes expensive transportation costs is why (even thought I haven't Been to many of the places on my list yet) I will Always look at the City Passes. Most of them end up including both transportation passes as Well as things like museums or churches, ect, and a lot of times you end up paying less than you would've if you would've just gotten things individually (especially if you would want to see a lot of things like I would who would want to go to probably Every museum in Venice......lol), and a lot of the time part of the benefit of the city pass is that you can go to the front of the lines on some big things. Like, even if I ever travel to NYC, I plan on getting the City Pass as it includes things like bike rentals, unlimited Hop On/ Off bus tour, entrance to the Top of the Rock *And* the Empire State Bldg, the Met (one of the TOP museums on my bucket list and which, even though is already free, the city pass gets you front of the line), Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and like 90 other things, plus discounts at some restaurants and stores, and also I believe for a small additional fee you get unlimited subway usage during non-peak hours. So it just seems like a No-Brainer to me, for a first-time visitor to NYC, and City Passes in general just seem worth their price to me :) - That pasta looked DIVINE - I have Really enjoyed these 3 videos on Venice. It has always been on my list of course, but now I have So much more respect for it, and I always Love the way you guys explore a place, and it really feel like we (yes, we..lol) all have a much better sense of what Venice is actually like, so thanks again for another Great video and video series you two =D
I guess it's not so much that we dislike museums, it's more that I'm always excited to just wander around back roads and find kitties and such, hahaha! Glad you enjoyed the Venice videos, it was one of our favorite places. -E
Hi you guys Venice is lovely place! If any body going to Venice, do your homework.Stay way from the main chanel for restaurants or accommodation.Go back a couple blocks away and for drinks as will. LOVE YOUR WORK AND VLOGS Andrew from Townsville, Australia
Oh, also, I believe you guys asked on the First Venice video what other parts of Italy you guys should check out if you ever go back. I forgot to suggest that time, but I would recommend Trento (and the whole province of Trentino). I've never been to Italy Myself, but one of my cousins did some of his Post Graduate work with his advisor in Trento, and from what I heard and the pictures and stuff I would see, it seems like a Really nice little town. It's in the Northern part of the country, it's an Alpine town, but because it's also a college town I don't think it would be As overrun with tourists? But I don't know, as I've never been there. But the town itself just seems to be really nice, and based on some of what I've seen from some travel social media peeps and companies, the entire province just seems like a really nice place to explore and experience :)
Great video! I had a whole different idea of what Venice would be like. I think for me personally, I'd rather visit other parts of Italy. The boat ride prices are rediculous, so im with you two, I wouldn't pay for that. Oh and eric you have this whole papa surf vibe going on.. lol its awesome.
always look forward to your uploads, love the way you always go off the beaten track, love your channel. I'm guessing the toilet seat was missing cause it was a disabled toilet. travel safe guys
Where you live disabled toilets don't have seats!? This most definitely was a plain old regular Italian toilet where you have a 30% chance of getting a seat to sit on, haha. -E
UK, i am not disabled but a friend is. He told me disabled toilets do not have seats cause they can easily break, split, come loose, etc, and well I dont have to spell the rest out. H&S is crazy in the UK, especially public access places. thanks for your reply guys :) sorry, edit, also a disabled person can fall over, etc, try to lift or lower the seat, just what i got told
We were there in early March 2018, and the coldest it's been in 29 years we were told. Anyway, great videos and I am perplexed as well with the toilets...we were there 3 weeks and no public toilet lids-only at our western hotel. Hovering ain't sanitary...nothing like Japan where sanitation is practically automated. Nevertheless Italy changed my life in some ways and we can't wait to go back--that's a given.
Yea, we were in Scotland for early March when all of Europe was blasted by a cold front! Haha, the toilets are....yea. Not the worst in the world but not like home in Japan. We totally agree, by the way, super excited to go back to Italy sometime soon! -E
So glad you guys enjoyed Venice, and enjoyed it in your own way too. Shame about the crowds and the prices, but I suppose thats the paradox of tourism.
Those photo's on the mausoleums look professionally done. I wonder do the people at some point at their peak, sit down to pose specifically for their mausoleum photo?
We have pictures on the mausoleums where I live in the US. I am Italian American and the most of the community is as well, maybe that has something to do with it. My grandma did have a professional photo session specifically for her mausoleum photo. But, my uncle’s is a candid photo. To answer your question; some do, others don’t.
Really liked the VLOG since I have been there... Still you can find cheap transport by boat...Just tracking it down can be time consuming. REALLY REALLY REALLY TIME CONSUMING.
44:07. That is called an Semi-Pro toilet. Squat toilets, like in some parts of Asia, and in Italy are called Professionals, and western toilets with seats are called Amateurs.

After a tough day at work, it's always nice to see a new Kyde and Eric video in your feed. It's basically like the feeling you get on Christmas morning.
Happy Kydericmas! -E
I love the way you guys to the time to really look around Venice and not just stick to a strict schedule of tourist spots. I’ve never been but I honestly feel like what you did might be the best way to explore the city and find all of those awesome books and crannies! Also just a random side note my profile picture is from an anime and manga that is set in Venice called Aria the Animation
Glad you enjoyed! It was a wonderful place to explore. -E
you guys are gold.
I love the way you get right into everything. It shows people that there are some interesting things behind the tourists spots 👍👍👍
That's our favorite part of exploring! -E
Really enjoying your Europe trip videos. Nice edit overlaying the street guitar music from the last Venice video to the beginning of this one- perfect transition.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying! -E
Enjoying my weekend with you guys!
Enjoy!
Very nice video. You're definitely right about the museums. I still love them if not for the actual architecture themselves and seeing more buildings inside.

Glad you enjoyed! Happy to have you along for so many years! -E
I love watching your channel because you don't go to only the most popular places. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! The back alleys are the best places! -E
Eric dude all i can think of whenever you wear that blue hoody and red hat is a gnome haha, though i guess it'd be easy for Kyde to find you if you ever get separated.
"Are you looking for someone?"
"My husband"
"What does he look like?"
"A gnome"
"Ahh yes he went that way"
I was thinking the same thing..!! LOL :D
"A 2 meter tall gnome"
Another great video, totally agree about avoidance of making your videos about all the tourist hotspots. I love watching your vlogs as you go to local spots and see things that are out of the ordinary. X
Glad you enjoy jumping away from the normal big stuff with us! -e
I agree.. you can show us parts of these places that not many travelers seem to explore.
You bring us to the fringe .... and I love it! I do enjoy museums but on the other hand I
also like the kind of content you bring to us viewers. It's very educational and fun when
you are candid and do things your way! I appreciate you guys..and always look forward
to the new videos you bring out! xoxo
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the little nooks we try to find! -E
I am headed to Venice May or June of this year and your videos popped up. Well, I am now a fan after watching only two of them. I will be binge watching.

Enjoyed your Venice Series immensely. One of your best.
Awesome to hear! Thanks! -E

Loved the colorful houses. Little pink houses for you and me! OOO Yeah!
Excellent series on Venice! I look forward to your return to Italy.
We do too! Thanks! -E
I loved Burano. I went there straight from crowded Venice and it was so lovely and peaceful.
Italian food is usually really amazing...I love the part when you try describing things you have never had before...fun fun fun...Again, you brought joy to my day...Thanks K&E...
Glad you enjoyed this one too! -E
Thank you, thank you. I just happened on your video and it was such a treat. Went to Italy:Venice and the three islands, plus last year. I love Italy.

Haha, glad we could take you back to Venice! Haha, those Italian toilets could use some work. -E
Very happy to hear that you will be back! A presto
The game with the cylinder is called Kerplunk! Mum stopped us playing it because it was so noisy.
Yeh, Kerplunk. Loved it
Matzo ball soup is pretty common where I live so it was kinda funny when Kyde thought it was meat, but she has a good point, it does have kind of a meaty sensation. Overall great job on the Venice series!

Thank you Kyde & Eric for taking me back to venice, been there twice now last in 2010 and need to go again i love it there. Hope you are both well.
Thanks, glad you came along! -E
47:38 I wasn't paying 100% attention and I heard the phrase "Honk on deez nuts" so I nearly fell over laughing.
I just got back from Croatia and had your vids on before I went so thanks for all the recommendations. Only new to this channel, you guys are great...long live papa smurf hat Eric! Kyde you're hilarious 😂
Oh nice, hope your time in Croatia was awesome, we loved it there! Glad you found us and are enjoying! -E
The most exciting thing about this video is the anouncement of Croatia!
Haha, working on the first Croatia video right now! -E
Exciting indeed, I was glad to hear that.
Nice to see your Venice adventure.
Glad you enjoyed! -E
You two are just a joy to watch. 😀
Thanks!! -E

And it’s amusing to see someone who knows so little about the food/culture (though I’m sure those of us familiar would learn something too). So, while I know little about Venice pastry, I /do/ know what Jewish food tastes like, so I can compare that to what your think.
YES, the food is “comfort food”, the Jewish-American Delis, at least. It’s how I learned to love chopped chicken liver at a young age. And then potato pancakes, blitzes, tongue sandwich (yum)...not low calorie! GREAT PICKLES and GREAT FISH (especially smoked).

Your final comment deserves applause.
I wish you to visit the Italian peninsula.
I live in Bergamo in northern Italy. In northern Italy the cuisine is decent, including Venice.
In central and southern Italy the level of culture and gastronomic tradition is indescribable.
Italy in addition to the most popular tourist destinations offers many pleasant surprises.
I wish you to discover them even in a small way.
Pizza and ice cream are just the typical tourist symbol, in Italy there is an incredible gastronomic variety. For your spirit of adventure and your way of traveling, which I appreciate, I wish you to organize a trip to Emilia, Tuscany, Marche, Abruzzo, etc ... Sicily.
I have visited almost all of Europe and I have enjoyed many countries. but I guarantee you that the center - south of Italy will make you fall in love
I apologize for my english
it is the translator's fault
thanks for your videos ciao
Thank you!! We very much want to re-visit Italy, just Venice was one of our favorite places. Someday we want to rent a car and explore the entire peninsula for a few months! Your message made me hungry, haha! -Eric
Watching these videos make me want to pull out some Donna Leon books again!
Locanda Cipriani on the island of Torcello is one of the best and most famous restaurants in the Venetian Lagoon; it was a favourite of Ernest Hemingway.
If you were going back to Italy it's worth trying bologna - beautiful city that's not too touristy as it's primarily a university city. Easy to get to , not too expensive and can be a hub for lots of excellent towns in the vicinity .
Keep up the good work good people .
I studied there. It is awesome. You can have an awesome aperitivo (5-7 euro for a drink and unlimited food). 😉
i like that whenever eric needs help to identify a food by taste, kyde comes to the rescue. apple
I'm bad at words -e
Have been to Venice a number of times already and can’t wait to go back. To get the most out of the city, tour in the evening when most people have gone. The toilet seat issue is due to some people standing instead of sitting on the seats and breaking the seat.
Excellent presentation guys ....I m going there in late October... ur vlog will help me ...
Nice! Enjoy your adventure! -E
I'm curious, when you guys travel to different spots and film in shops and restaurants, do you have to ask permission? And do you ever get told that you're not allowed?
Venice looks spectacular. Would really love to travel there someday.
Usually when we film in places we try to keep to ourselves and not bother others. We will sometimes ask for seats away from other customers, or away from loud music, but usually we don't need to ask permission to film. It happens sometimes, but it's rare. Basically, most of the time people hardly even notice what we are up to. -E
Love your Venice series! Great preparation for the trip my wife and I are going on in a few weeks. Our first stop is Venice. Your videos have me excited to explore! I definitely want to see Burano! 😀
AWESOME! Here is a link to the little wine shop we found in the first video: goo.gl/maps/1ytXGRVkr8U2
And the best pizza in the city (hit the wine shop first): goo.gl/maps/R99hJaoDDfE2
Kyde and Eric Wow thank you!! Will definitely do that! Thanks again! 😁
I played kerplunk growing up with my brothers, my nan use to have a load of old board games in my dad's old room in her house in London, so when we'd visit every other Sunday, we'd all play old board games, or cricket in the back garden, or a game of "hide the frogs" (Don't ask)
But kerplunk was always one of the favourite games to play over the years growing up, simple game, but way really fun, before Iphones and video games.
I absolutely love your videos!
Thanks for another great video. I wondered whether those croquette type thingies were hot ot cold when you were eating them. Also do you speak Italian when you're buying food or manage with just a few words plus pointing?
They were warm, but not hot if memory serves me. Nearly everyone speaks strong levels of English so getting around is super easy. -E
Another really good series. I feel the same about VA Beach. Very gritty and normally not very nice to visit when the crowds are heavy.
The game Kyde was mentioning was "Kerplunk", named after the sound of the marbles falling. Great video guys. Cant wait to see Croatia.
Can't wait to share it!
19:30 Is Entenmann's the doughnut you were thinking off? Kinda looks like a flat, crispy one. ❤🍩 Meringues are awesome, too! I love how wonderfully descriptive you are when it comes to food! Drool!
Entenmann's, they have a display case at the end of the aisle. Hahaa. -E
Really enjoyed watching your Venice vids, but I'm really excited to see the Croatia ones. I have no idea why, but I've always wondered what Croatia is like. And like you guys said about Venice, you're more in to seeking out the nooks and crannies. For me, that shows the true nature of somewhere and gives you a better insight in to the way of life of the natives. Great work guys. Safe journey and I look forward to seeing your next adventure 👍
Excited to share Croatia with everyone! We went waaay off the tourist path when we visited, hope you enjoy that! -E
Rangers eh
Went to Venice with my siblings for a few days in 2015. My sister caught bed bugs, and honestly the city just seemed dirty and unkempt to us. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, though. Found your channel recently and I just love your chemistry!
Bummer you didn't enjoy it, maybe we just have been to much rattier places so our metrics are different, haha. Glad you are enjoying! -E
Oh wow ! You cuddled a mini ewok! Soooo cool.
That creamy eggplant pate is actually Baba Ganoush! It's middle eastern in origin. Also I used to collect murano glass pendants as a teen. They were so beautiful!
Okay did y'all notice the tables and the little risers that are all over the place when you were in Venice just recently I think before you guys got there the whole place was flooded and they had those is elevated walkways it's on RUclips and yes in Rome and Italy last year there were tons of the toilets without the lids love you guys videos
I love your Macgyver style laundry drying system :-P
Haha, you gotta make do!
I prefer the off the beaten path travel vlogs. Keep doing what you are doing.
Awesome, thanks! Will do! -E
Eric! Love that beard! Kyde, tiramisu is made with lady fingers which are spongey. Love it! Love your Venice videos.
Thanks!!
7:49 Ker-plunk is the game you're talking about.
About 13 :00 Eric with that flower behind his ear, LOL. And that food looked SO good. Somehow, eating Cheerios while watching doesn't quite compare.
I love that you guys are so cheap. Wait, that didn't come out right...
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching you walk around the city. I love museums I wish you could enjoy them as much as I do. I agree I don't think a video of the inside a museum would be a good video.
It really depends on the museum, but mostly I'm just eager to get back out and explore a city's streets. -E
I couldn't make out the titles on the emergency boat at about 33:00 . Fire brigade? Any Italians on here know? I'm sort of an emergency buff, so just curious. Nice catch.
Yea, it was the only one we saw but it was awesome to see. I took a look at the video frame-by-frame, looks like it's an ambulance. i.imgur.com/NfQD7zT.jpg
Haha, Kyde just casually trying to eat that croquette thingy with the tiniest fork in the world. xxx
You know where all the Italian kids were? Scotland!-lol We just returned from Edinburgh and the kids just loaded up the busses there. Loved your videos from Scotland and learned a lot from you, like stay in the vehicle and not try to climb random hills. Actually there are groups of climbers who make it their thing to try to climb every peak in the Highlands.
That climb was probably our favorite day from our entire visit to Scotland, I can see why people make it a point to climb lots of them. -E
30min tops?. I had flashbacks of Scotland!!!!
Hahahaha
not related to this video but would you say tower of london is worth the hefty admission fee?
We enjoyed it. -E
This evening, I made sure I was eating pizza to watch this.
Good idea!
I have been there 30 years ago and would like to see it again. But it is one big tourist trap. It is hard to believe but there is about 20.000.000 visitors a year, so prices are extreme.
But is it still possible, as you show, to find something affordable. Perhaps I have missed a video. Where did you live at what was the price.
Yea, it's totally possible to get out of the tourist trap bit, especially if you stay in the city and explore at night after all the cruise ships have left. Not sure which Venice videos you saw, we have three. Here are the other two.

@@kydeanderic I think I found the video later. you lived en some airbnb. By The way Thank you for answering. Not many youtubers do that 👍
No prob! -E
Just discovered your channel. You two have great chemistry!
Thanks! Glad you found us! -E
Hi guys really enjoy your vlogs I was surprised how nice and interesting Venice was. And that you could find things that were not super expensive.
I'm looking forward to Croatia.
Thanks! Excited to share Croatia with everyone! -E
Kerplunk!
Lol I was enjoying watching the video so much I forgot to take notes:
- All the treats looked so yummy
- I don't think I even Knew there were islands that were part of the Venice area, so that was interesting to see. Added both to my travel list :)
- I AM a museum person (as I believe I've mentioned before. VERY history/archaeology/museum oriented), and so the point about the museums being expensive along with the sometimes expensive transportation costs is why (even thought I haven't Been to many of the places on my list yet) I will Always look at the City Passes. Most of them end up including both transportation passes as Well as things like museums or churches, ect, and a lot of times you end up paying less than you would've if you would've just gotten things individually (especially if you would want to see a lot of things like I would who would want to go to probably Every museum in Venice......lol), and a lot of the time part of the benefit of the city pass is that you can go to the front of the lines on some big things. Like, even if I ever travel to NYC, I plan on getting the City Pass as it includes things like bike rentals, unlimited Hop On/ Off bus tour, entrance to the Top of the Rock *And* the Empire State Bldg, the Met (one of the TOP museums on my bucket list and which, even though is already free, the city pass gets you front of the line), Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and like 90 other things, plus discounts at some restaurants and stores, and also I believe for a small additional fee you get unlimited subway usage during non-peak hours. So it just seems like a No-Brainer to me, for a first-time visitor to NYC, and City Passes in general just seem worth their price to me :)
- That pasta looked DIVINE
- I have Really enjoyed these 3 videos on Venice. It has always been on my list of course, but now I have So much more respect for it, and I always Love the way you guys explore a place, and it really feel like we (yes, we..lol) all have a much better sense of what Venice is actually like, so thanks again for another Great video and video series you two =D
I guess it's not so much that we dislike museums, it's more that I'm always excited to just wander around back roads and find kitties and such, hahaha! Glad you enjoyed the Venice videos, it was one of our favorite places. -E
Lol, it's true you can never go wrong with neighborhood kitties xD :)
Hi you guys Venice is lovely place! If any body going to Venice, do your homework.Stay way from the main chanel for restaurants or accommodation.Go back a couple blocks away and for drinks as will. LOVE YOUR WORK AND VLOGS Andrew from Townsville, Australia
Yep! It's not hard to avoid the crowds and find amazing little places! -E
43:29 it is Pear 👍🏻 (Tagliatelle with walnuts, cheese (Gorgonzola?) and pear.
Nice video, ciaoo.
Oh, also, I believe you guys asked on the First Venice video what other parts of Italy you guys should check out if you ever go back. I forgot to suggest that time, but I would recommend Trento (and the whole province of Trentino). I've never been to Italy Myself, but one of my cousins did some of his Post Graduate work with his advisor in Trento, and from what I heard and the pictures and stuff I would see, it seems like a Really nice little town. It's in the Northern part of the country, it's an Alpine town, but because it's also a college town I don't think it would be As overrun with tourists? But I don't know, as I've never been there. But the town itself just seems to be really nice, and based on some of what I've seen from some travel social media peeps and companies, the entire province just seems like a really nice place to explore and experience :)
Trento looks amazing! Hopefully we can make that happen! -E
Agree with your comments about the ''Venetian Museum"!!!!!! at 35:00.
Magical.....that says it all :)
Great video! I had a whole different idea of what Venice would be like. I think for me personally, I'd rather visit other parts of Italy. The boat ride prices are rediculous, so im with you two, I wouldn't pay for that.
Oh and eric you have this whole papa surf vibe going on.. lol its awesome.
Venice was amazing enough we are dying to explore the rest of Italy now! -E
I’m curious as to what they do with flooding in the cemetery. Do they get flooding? Hmm!
Can’t wait for the next episode!
That's a really good question! No idea! -E
They seemed to have a lot of cremation, so maybe they are starting to switch over? Either way, it’s interesting!
You two have given me so many great ideas for my upcoming trip, thanks! When is the Croatia stuff coming out? 'Cause I need to see that pronto!
Croatia starts this week!
the game you mentioned we know as kerplunk in the Uk, I guess you call it something else in the states
It's the same in The States, actually. We just didn't remember at the time. -E
always look forward to your uploads, love the way you always go off the beaten track, love your channel. I'm guessing the toilet seat was missing cause it was a disabled toilet. travel safe guys
Where you live disabled toilets don't have seats!? This most definitely was a plain old regular Italian toilet where you have a 30% chance of getting a seat to sit on, haha. -E
UK, i am not disabled but a friend is. He told me disabled toilets do not have seats cause they can easily break, split, come loose, etc, and well I dont have to spell the rest out. H&S is crazy in the UK, especially public access places. thanks for your reply guys :) sorry, edit, also a disabled person can fall over, etc, try to lift or lower the seat, just what i got told
We were there in early March 2018, and the coldest it's been in 29 years we were told. Anyway, great videos and I am perplexed as well with the toilets...we were there 3 weeks and no public toilet lids-only at our western hotel. Hovering ain't sanitary...nothing like Japan where sanitation is practically automated. Nevertheless Italy changed my life in some ways and we can't wait to go back--that's a given.
Yea, we were in Scotland for early March when all of Europe was blasted by a cold front! Haha, the toilets are....yea. Not the worst in the world but not like home in Japan. We totally agree, by the way, super excited to go back to Italy sometime soon! -E
Inside the church at Torcello is lovely. It's from a time where the Venetians came out to escape plague I think.
So glad you guys enjoyed Venice, and enjoyed it in your own way too. Shame about the crowds and the prices, but I suppose thats the paradox of tourism.
Yep. More of a shame for how it's changed the city than for how it bothered us, we personally didn't really mind as we were able to avoid it. -E
I found Murano quite sad when I visited. Seemed like the underdog island that time forgot
Those photo's on the mausoleums look professionally done. I wonder do the people at some point at their peak, sit down to pose specifically for their mausoleum photo?
Too late for me! -E
We have pictures on the mausoleums where I live in the US. I am Italian American and the most of the community is as well, maybe that has something to do with it. My grandma did have a professional photo session specifically for her mausoleum photo. But, my uncle’s is a candid photo. To answer your question; some do, others don’t.
The game with the marbles was called Kerplunk here in the UK. Namaste 🙏🏻
The game was called Ker Plunk - in Australia anyway.
Really liked the VLOG since I have been there... Still you can find cheap transport by boat...Just tracking it down can be time consuming. REALLY REALLY REALLY TIME CONSUMING.
Haha, are you a pirate? -E
The game you were talking about is called Kaplunk, in the UK atleast :P
Do you know what worries me? I know that your own Ezra Pound is buried on that cemetery island. Why would I know or need to know something like that?
Why would that worry you?
Next time u guys HAVE to come to Florence! u.u
Next time we have to spend months exploring Italy! Florence included! -E
Even I got dizzy lol 😅
I'm happy you call them noodles. :-D
Welcome to the city near me :)
44:07. That is called an Semi-Pro toilet. Squat toilets, like in some parts of Asia, and in Italy are called Professionals, and western toilets with seats are called Amateurs.
It's a mess. Hahahaha.
In Britain the game was called kerplunk
America too! -E
