    Lovely vlog! We bought one of those little delft windmills in Breda last year. We did laugh at the Whacky Races on the bridge 😂 Thanks for sharing 🚍☀️

      Thank you, you can’t beat a good windmill 😀. How someone wasn’t killed on that bridge I’ll never know, it was like a starting grid on a GP with revving engines 🤣 Best wishes H&M.

    We too love Holland and will be visiting our daughter and her Fiance for New years. Totally get what you are saying about the bikes ha ha we did chuckle. When mentioning the Dutch players Steve said must be a Man u fan then you mentioned it! Steve is also a Man U fan!
    Great site thank you for the info about the vets as we will be taking Isla over once full time.

    Thank you for this video. We are on a trip to Noway in May/June and will be catching ferry home from Rotterdam. We've always used the tunnel to cross before so this site and the information on the vet is ideal for us !

      Thanks Julie , we've not been to Norway and are planning a trip for next year, so we'll be watching with interest. I think you'l like the ferry ride from Rotterdam, we like the Harwich route such a pain for us getting to the Tunnel . That said it's the train for us next month as we're heading for Spain and Portugal. Thanks for watching and safe travels Helen and martin.

    Great video guys. Delft does look very nice indeed and the campsite looked fab. We could have spent all day in that cheese shop 😂😂. Liking the thought of having those beers with 10% vol. Looking forward to the vlog of your Christmas trip also. Nessie has been put into storage as we’re off to Florida on Saturday for 2 months but plan to upload a few van cooking videos when we get there as we still have some footage that we haven’t uploaded yet. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

    Thank you for another brilliant tour. We returned 3 weeks ago from Holland for the first time after 3 months travelling as far as Croatia. I was wondering how much you had to pay for Poppy at the vets. We paid €62 for Poppy which is quite a bit more than France or Spain.

    • @HelenandMartinsTreks
      @HelenandMartinsTreks  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi , we paid €55 for our Poppy , she's 7.5kg . We have found northern European Vets are dearer that Spain , we paid €50 in Belgium in May . In France and Spain we have paid in the range of €30 - €40 , but we known of people paying less. We don't take our tablet but in truth tend to choose a vets on location only and use the map on this link from the FaceBook Group Recommended Vets For Tape Worm Treatment.

    We went to The Netherlands in 2017 and my son was friends with a Dutch exchange student and asked her advice: Delft. I think her explanation was that it was like Amsterdam but smaller and without the bad bits, having been there as well that seems about right.
    Did they make Poppy wear a muzzle on board or were you doing that as a precaution? It’s an issue that comes up on motorhome Facebook groups and people in the U.K. get anxious about it because their dogs aren’t used to being muzzled (neither is ours but we’ve always stuck to Eurotunnel).

    • @HelenandMartinsTreks
      @HelenandMartinsTreks  9 месяцев назад +2

      Hi good afternoon , strictly speaking the rules say that dogs should be muzzled on the boat , but there didn't seem to be a lot of enforcement of the rule . We put it on Poppy as she's used to it as we regularly travel on public transport in Europe where it's required and we trained her to get used to a muzzle while she was young, so she's happy with it, specially as she gets loads of treats . We have a soft muzzle that's open at the end so we can give her a treat as we go. (Pet's at Home). If you want any more info about Pets on the boat we have a previous video where we go into more detail if that helps further . Best wishes and thanks for watching .Helen and Martin ruclips.net/video/12dg3s47oek/видео.html

      I did mis out Jaap Stam but more grievous a crime was missing out Edwin Van Der Sar , I could've forgiven myself for missing out Daley Blind , Donny Van De Beek and Tyrell Malacia as I don't think they are legends as such but how could I have not mentioned Stam and Van Der Sar. Still more reasons to love Holland I guess , thanks for watching, our best wishes to you Helen and Martin

    Hi guys, could you just advise how far this site is from the town & also how far Kinderdijk camper park was from the windmills to walk please? Thanks, Elen

    • @HelenandMartinsTreks
      @HelenandMartinsTreks  4 месяца назад

      Hi Elen, the walk to Kinderdijk Heritage Centre is 3 miles , but it's flat and the distance is easily covered as you walk through the windmills to get there. There is cafe/ restaurant there and toilets etc. It's an nice walk but if you have bikes being Holland there is a great cycleway to use that takes you from Camperstop all the way. The walk from the campsite to the centre of Delft is 15 - 20 mins and again is an easy walk, again bikes routes are available. Hope that helps we really enjoyed both spots and walked both routes as we took Poppy along. Best wishes Helen and Martin

      Hi , no we haven’t ever. We’re aware that some stories on Facebook are suggesting there are issues but can’t verify those. We have friends currently touring who haven’t experienced any difficulty. I should clarify that this doesnt apply to direct fill bottles which has always been an issue , but proper fitted systems have always been fine to now. I’ll keep an eye on it. H and M
