It was good to see you showing that Poland is a good country to see in a motorhome. I did it in 2021, in my converted 1996 Toyota Caetano Optimo 111 converted coach called MOBY-1, and I am a man of colour with dreadlocks down my back. I had a wonderful time and met good people that became my friends. Poland is a cleaner and much safer than the UK, and it has great cakes. 😊
I never ever watch van content even though i make it, so youtube never recommends anything like this but after watching your video where you guys go over the best accessories for your van (which i bought a lot of, the tefal pots and pans, stablable utensils etc etc) RUclips then decided to start recommending me your videos. Me and Dani have sat and watched the entire series and more and we absolutely love it. In terms of a family who travel together and make memories together the lot of you are an inspiration and i can only hope i have as good a relationship with my kids as you guys do.
oh and because of you, Dani wants me to call her "my love" all the time now haha.
Chris, I’m honestly made up to know you’ve watched some of our videos, let alone to enjoy them and leave such a lovely comment. I still watch a fair amount of van content and have been following your recent videos with the problems you’ve had with your new van. Pleased to see in your latest video that you can appreciate the extra space a Motorhome gives you, and that you do love it, despite the issues. Welcome to middle age life mate, and I did notice you call Dani ‘darling’, so maybe that’s a step in the right direction to calling here ‘my love’ 😉
Hopefully catch up at the show next week.
Thanks for tackling difficult subjects in such an honest way.
We went to Dachau a few years ago and were equally shocked, moved and humbled. The strangest thing was standing by a brick wall for ages before realising what the small round holes were caused by 😢
I’m Polish living in Devon for 16 years and really enjoying the Southwest. it’s really interesting to see you visiting and enjoying Poland. Try to visit Wroclaw
@@HenrykKwak we visited Wroclaw in this video
@@RoamingRadfordsI missed it somehow, just watched again and realised I missed when you practiced the proper pronunciation. Wroclaw is my home city, lived there for 35 years. It’s a shame you did not spend more time there, as there is a lot to see.
My father was Polish. He lost his entire family to the Germans and Russians. He escaped occupied Poland aged 17 and made his way on foot to allied territory, joined the RAF and fought until he was wounded (shot and lost a lung). My sister visited Auschwitz some years ago but I can’t bring myself to go. I even fast forwarded that section of your video The complete absence of one side of your family is far reaching. For example, I’m in my 60’s now but it still resonates when medics ask routine questions and I have to tell them I don’t know anything about the history of illnesses on my father’s side because no one survived.
Auschwitz is on my visit list when I travel Europe. My Dad's neighbour (Gold Coast, Australia) is Australian (late 50's) from Polish parents. His father was in the Polish army (high ranking) in WW2. Because of his refusal to follow Nazi orders, he and others were put on trains (cattle carriages) to Auschwitz. They managed to pull the floor boards up in the carriage and drop onto the rail tracks and escape. They fled across several countries to get to America and then West Australia. When the war was over he was able to contact his family, and by then had saved enough money to bring his wife and two daughters (who thought he was dead) to Australia. Here they had two more children. Raymond has spoken of some of the terrible things victims of war went through. We are just so lucky to have never experienced a fraction of what they went through. I remember seeing the bronze shoes along the banks of the Danube in Budapest and felt so sad to see where the Jews were shot and pushed into the river. I can't imagine what the Hungarians felt if they were the ones pulling the corpses from the water down river. A very dark time in modern history. Thank you for sharing your vlog. Kind regards, Stuart
@retirement-adventures my late grandma and her siblings and parents roman catholics were in auschwitz originally from latvija
What an incredible story and so very brave ❤️
Thank you for sharing your family’s story, now they are more important than ever. 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing history lessons on your blogs wherever you are at! Sometimes what you learn in books aren’t the same as when you visit the actual place!
Now I want a pierogi! I like to cook mine in butter after I boil them! lol
Dead cell in the cab battery or something pulling current when parked would be my guess. I hope you got it sorted at the Fiat garage :) I enjoyed your pack up segment at the end of the video. I fold the awning away the same way too :) good tip on the grey food waste not going into the van waste. Im not up to date on your videos but will get there eventually:D
I would absolutely love you to do a tour of Poland. There is so much to see, beautiful coast, mountains, castles, Lake District etc
One of your best vlogs. Having been to Auschwitz it’s a humbling experience and the way the guides work keeps the place solemn and somber. It’s heartbreaking to think this happened not so long ago. Congrats to Harry on his exams, I think George would have been fine with a headset as you’ve brought him up well along with Eddie and George and his summmary of the guide was spot on, You should be proud of all 3 of your boys. Love how Eddie took control back home as well. You should have gone to the Salt Mine in Krakow as well that’s pretty spectacular.
This is my first time seeing Georgy since spring. He must have grown 12 inches and doesn’t
look like the youngest anymore. How did that happen so fast!
I am a citizen of the USA, your video about Auschwitz touched me. My father-in-law served in the US Army during the war. The unit he was with went into the death camps, not to liberate the survivors for at that time they had already been liberated, but they were there to document with photos the what they found inside the death camps, including the remains of those who sadly did not survive. The shock and horror of what he saw, stayed with him for the rest of life. For many years, he suffered from “night-terrors”, causing him to awaken from his sleep screaming from the images that haunted him in his sleep. In time the “night-terrors” subsided, but the memories remained.
Thank you for sharing what you were able to share.
God Bless you all. ❤
Oh that’s so awful. X
@@RoamingRadfordsthank you. 🙏🏻
I carry a jump pack around in our motorhome in case of flat batteries. Small, lightweight and don’t take up a lot of space and an absolute lifesaver if dicky battery.
Everything you expressed about Auschwitz-Birkenau is how I felt, and like you the children’s clothes etc & the photos of the children were haunting. We visited in June on a cool & very wet day and it certainly made the experience more intense. A very hard place to visit.
Regarding the flat battery issue. We had that happen just the once, but upon investigation found that our starter battery wasn't being kept charged via EHU and/or Solar, so we had a little mod done and now it does. No more flat battery, even after a long period of not driving.
You know I love everything you do, and the style that you present your stories.
So amazing!!❤
We love you Roger!
Hopefully everyone is OK and sending you my thoughts for ed and I am extremely worried about him please take as much time as you need just as long as ed is ok
there are definitely more "glorious sunshine" days in Poland than in UK lol
Sorry to hear about Ed. Having lived in Turkey for 15 years I think that the health process here is superior here to NHS, I was just discharged today after an op. Booked an appointment on Thursday to see a specialist professor at a large university hospital in İzmir for the following Monday, you do not need to get a referral. All tests he needed, bloods, X-ray and scans were done that day with results available in a couple of hours. He said I needed urgent treatment so to come back that Friday morning for op. Paid just over £10 a day for private room and they always allow 1 family member to stay with patient and they feed both of you. There were also about 5 cafes and 2 coffee bars on the site so useful if you don't like hospital food. I did pay minor extra for professor to do op but if just standard doctor this is covered by health service.
Hiya,I was at the hospital same time as you ,I have had an operation by the professor exactly same week 😇small world 😊health care system is brilliant over Turkiye, totally agree ,hope you recover soon x
Brilliant vlog!!
Thanks Stuart
Next week guest….EDDIE !!
We absolutely loved Krakow and Zakopane. Poland is a very beautiful country
Don’t you ever worry about leaving the motor home in some of these quite rough looking car parks ? Although I’ve never heard you mention any break ins .
No, we have our Bear Lock and Bear Safe, and often these car parks have 24 hour attendants, so we feel safe enough.
Maybe they never had them. Why are you saying about them?
Had you been assuted by bulgars?
Such a great vlog, sorry you have had so much on your plate. Linds in full Mama Bear mode.
Your Auschwitz experience was sensitively done but the emotion you all felt was obvious.
X
Just returned after 6 days in poland stopped Swietej Anny, Kumieniolom Amfiteatr, we found this place accidentally, it was a huge outdoor ampy theatre made by the nazis for political rallies I know it's strange but it's all history.
stayed outside Krakow as it was so busy at Center for Dialogue and Prayer hotel nice camp at the rear
Have to agree Auschwitz is very hard to put into words our lovely guide was fantastic
Hiya
you forgot to mention Turkiye that the places you've been🙄 thought you'd loved Istanbul 🤔by the way
Get well soon Eddie
Quick utilities question as I'm currently in design stage. When you empty the grey tank at a drive-over dumping station, do the drains tend to be more to the left or right or are they mote in the centre. Working out which side to put the drainage outlet on the underslung tank
They’re all over the place, there is no standard to this I’m afraid, so maybe as central as possible to cope with either.
@@RoamingRadfords ok brilliant, thanks for your help and fast reply 😀🙏🏼
If in future it's only the two of you, you could really downsize on the size of your van!
Understand totally how you feel after visiting Auschwitz it was the same after we went
Can’t say we enjoyed it but feel it’s important to do if you can
The salt mines are a great thing to see. They are amazing.
👍🏼👍🏼 for 2:30. Your son now knows how WW2 really started, everyone knows that WW2 started on Sep 1st, 1939, but many miss the fact that the Soviets attacked on Sep 17th, 1939. Putin’s Russia is doing anything they can to erase this from history, thank you for spreading the truth. Also, your lady has Wrocław down perfect, just say what she told you.
I’ve been so wrapped up in your travels as we are not able to go very far due to health issues very enjoyable . I have never been to Poland would definitely not been able to face the camps . I would have felt too sad .
Hope the rest of your trip goes well enjoy and thanks for sharing
I think you described Auschwitz very Respectfully and sensitively. Its very hard to know where to draw the line between being a bit ghoulish and just reporting how you feel. I think you did it very well.
wondering how you would get on with breakdown in UK. AA wont recover Motorhomes over twenty one feet
That’s why you have RAC Arrival www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/insurance/breakdown-and-recovery/
Auschwitz broke my heart. My partner and I stood in the middle of Birkenau and cried, and we both felt that the leaders of a certain Middle Eastern country and it's western supporters should stand there with us and justify their current actions towards their neighbour.
Great blog,lots of emotions.
Is your special guest Eddie?
Another great vlog Steve. When you are leaving details of your park ups, etc, have you considered giving the What 3 Words names?
Thanks. Yes we used to use What3Words but we prefer Google Maps so just leave links to everything on Google Maps now
My sister niece and brother-in-law went to Krakow a few months back and visited Auschwitz camp and went on the same walking tour she said it was amazing but so eerie in the camp you could feel a presence in there
Hope Eddie is ok
Another great and interesting video has always Steve Lindsay Eddie Harry and George keep safe guys 👍❤
Another great video ,thank you.Can’t believe how grown up George
I lived in Germany for a few years and was lucky to visit most of Europe during that time - Krakow is my absolute favourite city.
We went to Auschwitz in October and it’s harrowing, but I agree, a must visit for everyone so we can educate ourselves how evil humanity can be. During our visit our guide told us that a visitor had recently asked for a copy of a photograph of one of the prisoners, when she asked him why he told her that the lady was his mother. Heartbreaking.
Oh. Just oh 😞
Krakow is a must visit, such a beautiful city full of culture and history. Auschwitz is haunting but so important for us all to understand what happened.
Wife's polish love visiting we go up to pucks a small village right at top poland iv visited at -16 and in summer months
Congratulations Harry on your exam results
You should see the Wieliczka salt mines when you go back - they're very impressive.
good see you put vlog out on channel stay strong and vlog when you can thanks lee
Great video and I’ll definitely be visiting Poland. I know you have family germs but licking your fingers then touching food is my new ‘ick’ lol.
Happy things are working out for you x
❤ thank you, I really don't know what else to say, but thank you for sharing. 🙏
I thought you had three kids is one missing?
You’ve clearly missed several videos in this series. Feel free to catch up with all the videos on this road trip with this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLm8vXtAwkM4HU4BHwYfsr5CEJz5xVSWrp&si=AHuOe83egTtl9XFn
🎉🎉🎉🤗💕🇿🇦🇿🇦🎥👍
Eddie xxx
Whys battery keep going flat strange especially the mileage u do
You must have been asked this a thousand times so apologies, but the Cadac hanging off the side of the van, surely that heats up the van wall? I’m nervous about sticking something on and lighting gas so close to the van?
Not in the slightest, the top of the Cadac takes all the heat, the van gets way hotter with the sun blasting down on it
@@RoamingRadfords great, thanks for replying, off we go to get one. 😁
Great vlog up setting in parts sorry you have had a lot of worry home and away . enjoyed all the places you have been this summer take all x 😢🚍
Did you find the wax museum? It's so bad it's funny
Glad you found Hotel Imperial parking. Don’t forget you can also use the showers in the gym downstairs for an additional cost and the Biendronka supermarket next door is also a bonus.
You need to buy and keep a jump start booster pack in the van, they are amazing.
I reckon Eddie is going to meet you in Berlin.
Blessings to your son .
I know you are a modern family but I would love to know how much money you get through, it seems a lot to me.I suspect a three month trip would cost you about £6000 to £7000 maybe even £10,000
Been worth every Penny
I don't understand this comment? They have obviously built a successful business and are reaping the benefits... I love these videos... I hope to be able to do this one day.
@@juliaarnold890 Must be a lot if you don't know 🙂
It's a different type a Motorhome travel which I suspect is at the higher end, Flights out, eating out, camp sites. I just thought it would be interesting to know what the top end of this pass time looks like cost wise.
I watch other channels and some really good van lifers can do trips on as little as €500 a month, which I suspect they would get through in 3 days.
@@josephslack4261 I do this every year, I'm retired and live in France, So stop trying to twist it and say you are sticking up for them it's not a criticism it's simply asking what thier over all cost is for such a trip and whether it's a reality for most people. I can tell you that the wife and I are driving down to Greece this winter the over all cost that we have budgeted for is about €2000 for three months. We went to Spain last year for 3 1/2 months and it was about €1500 all in. It's that simple, I'm not bothered what they do I would not want their van kids or life and I'm guessing they would not want mine, I was have just watched them over the months/years and thought they get through lots of money and was just interested what the extreme looks like and costs, Simple.
Why is it your business to know how much they are spending and why are you so upset that you think it is costing so much. Surely people are allowed to spend whatever they want to enjoy their vacation . You should be watching for the enjoyment of seeing their travels and not get so hung up on what it is costing
Wow you guys that has been one of the best videos I’ve watched what a trip that’s using your motorhome well done to you all
I have always wanted to visit Auschwitz but it has never happened but at 89 I think I have left it too late. My friend who was a school teacher took her class there and she said they went in as boys but came out as men I suppose they must have been older than 14 because they had headsets.❤️❤️
Great to see you visit Poland, beautiful country. By the way, it's not Zlote, the l with the line through it is a "w", so it's pronounced Zwote.
👍💚
I love watching your travels your lads will be learning more than the average students . This time it was a touching watch full respect to you .I was in the Glasgow museum and on display was a pair of striped pyjamas . They spoke a million words .I wrote to the museum saying these very words .♥
Great awning tip - thanks!
Nice reversing into a car park!!! Thinking out of the box 👍 HGV licence next?????
Very moving, not to much.
The still photos was amazing, thank you for the level of respect as well ... XXXX
My friend lives in Poland and I have visited Auschwitz with her so so sad
A different sort of video
Just compelling and thought provoking.
No one can understand the magnitude of the terrible atrocities that took place during the 1930’s for the Jewish people.
I worked with a lady who grew up in Poland during the communist regime in the 1980’s and they had nothing
I worked with a lady from German side of Poland and we’re not short of anything
😢❤️❤️🏴🏴😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Spent 3ms in Wroclaw on business just after the wall came down, the city square was a wreck and rebuilding from 39-45 was just getting underway. They opened their first Macdonald whilst I was there. I also drove to Auschwitz/Birkenau that summer. It had been left untouched since 45. The cremator and chamber were still there then. It was horrifying seeing what man can do fellow man. It never leaves you.
Should add that apart from a Maccy D it was borscht, borscht and more borscht back then. Glad to see it’s moved on. Would love to visit if my Fiat can ever prove it doesn’t always mean Fix It Again Tomorrow 😂
Not only has it moved on it’s moved ahead of most of Europe and is leading the way in some aspects.
Another great vlog. We went to Krakow last year it was lovely. We flew over because we weren’t sure about parking in Poland as there doesn’t seem to be many vlogs on youtube. I don’t know if you remember but I did ask you in a comment if you had been but you said you hadn’t been that far west. We will defo take the Moho next time. 👌
With that little excited clap from Lyndsey I guess it might be Eddie !
Agree the best overnight parking at Auschwitz is at the hotel, should have used that instead of the other one you showed. Invest in a tea strainer for any water poured down the kitchen sink drain out of the washing up bowl, definitely helps the grey tank stay fresher.
You are such lovely people. Your vlog has touched my heart. Soooo lovely that you have each other. Take care. Well done Harry. Xxxx
I agree with you comments about visiting concentration camp,I was on Avalon river cruise in April this year we visited the
Concentration camp in Linz Austria, it was very moving, we were told that Hitler lived in Linz in his early days
Of course you could not find any words. There are no words that do justice to what happen in those camps. I think the reason you go is to pay your respects to those that perished.
I like that you are prepared to pay even if it isn't a campsite.
Good bit of driving
Hi Guys. We have done Mathousen which is just outside of Linz in Austria and yes you are right, it is difficult to find the words. I think it is important to visit these places to remember and remind people of the horrors that man can do to his neighbours. Unfortunately with the stuff that is going on in the world today it is also so upsetting. Will we ever learn. Regards John
JFK famously said I am a Berliner, unfortunately he call himself a donut. My daughter did a 6th form trip to Berlin where they visited the Starzi prision before going on to Auschwitz, it was a thought provoking experience.
Look after yourself mum! It’s so easy to focus on your children & forget your needs too.
Auschwitz & Birkenau are so harrowing but everyone needs to understand them. The room of hair brought it all home for me!
Thankyou for sharing your experiences.
We loved Poland, especially Wroclaw & even the off the main highway roads! Such a contrast to the main Toll roads with limited exits etc.
We got to the Great Escape site - but it was closed!! Drr us, we walked around though, took it all in & stayed nearby in a great free van site!
Yes - we agree, we need to go back to Poland at a slower pace! Long way from Australia though!
😊
Hi Guys that’s a great feature charge battery with solar great video
Eddie !!
Is the special guest visiting you in Germany you.r eldest son
Amazing this food Chanel ❤
Special guest must be Eddie. To my amazement my husband had never seen The Great Escape (before we were married) although he wanted to. So when it was on tv we settled down to watch. Steve McQueen was literally in mid leap over the fence when the television died. The air was blue as you can imagine. He did eventually manage to watch the whole film some years later. Auschwitz is one of those visits that must be made, lest we forget 💔✡️
Is Edd joining you
Hey guys great fantastic video and a very emotional one to hope you are all ok and hope your ok Lyndsay and Steve
I just heard about your special guest
Coming up in the next video
Am going to say Eddie is the special
Guest and I hope he is ok and well
Love you all and hope to see you again soon XXX
Hopefully it is Eddy!! You missed him!!
@roaming radfords hope all is okay with your sons
Always a very good video folks but not sure I could visit Auschwitz due to the emotional content 🙁
Treat your van carefully
It will get worse because you overload.
Steve a very good video with very harrowing information about the Jew. I am glad he has got the school he wants.
Eddie 😉
its because its a Swift, 😂😂
