He is hon..he would agree.. 😹 Tonight, however...it appears he's let a mouse into the van, so we're sat here with most of our belongings outside, waiting to hear it gnawing again..lol 🤷🏻♂️ Do you fancy adopting either an idiot cat or a wood carving mouse at all.?? 😂❤️ xxx
@@LillaHusVanlife Oh that's so funny 🤣 sorry for laughing. I'd lian you my Puma but yiu would have to go get him from Cyprus. He is a super ratter n snake killer lol seruously tho,hope you get it out b4 it does any damage xx🤞❤️
Lmao! 😂 Oliver wasn't bothered about it at all.. 😹 we managed to catch it with the help of a pint beaker..lol 😂 Thank you tho 😊 Hope you're having a good weekend 🙏❤️ xx
@@LillaHusVanlife Haha he's just too chill to kill 😻 Yes thanks, we just got back frim from a hike. Got your sticker, thank you 😁 will send mine with Kev for you. Have a good weekend xx
Ah did she now..lol 😂 well thank you Desmond I hope we can start our journey proper soon and that you enjoy following along with us.. 😊 take care and safe travels 😉😁
Thank you so much Kat 😊❤️ it's great to be back amongst our friends and families but after 4 months, we're itching to get back over there and make a start 👍 take care hon ❤️ xxx
Wow. What an epic drive that was! Crazy trucks on the Hungarian border. And must have been so strange to start driving on the left after all that time! Great vid guys and safe travels.
Thank you so much guys! It was quite a haul...46.5 hours after jumping into the van in VT Bulgaria to reaching the ferry terminal in Rotterdam..lol 😊 After 6 months of driving on the right hand side, it was scarily comforting to be on that side over here...lol 😂 Safe travels to you guys..hope you're enjoying the sunshine.!! 😁🙏💜
@@LillaHusVanlife we are thanks 👍. Attempting to do something different - a week away in the next county to us 😃 - just being out is what it’s all about!!
That was certainly an interesting journey back to the UK. Poor Oliver having to stay in the kennel on the ferry coming back, but rules are rules; I bet you were (and he was) glad to get out of there lol. So we now await the Bulgaria homestead uploads! Probably won't get chance to see ya before you head back..I'd cry so maybe just as well. Much, much love to you trio xxxxx
Glad you enjoyed it hon..the ferry was a needs must, but yes we were all glad to be back in our home 👍 Bulgaria still seems out of our grasp..we've been waiting 4 weeks longer than our friends for the embassy to get in touch. 🙄 I'm sure we'll get the chance to come over and make you cry before we go hon.. 😉 Massive hugs and much love to you guys.. ❤️ xxxxx
Ahh that's a bit frustrating for you. I did wonder why you hadn't headed back over (thought it may be to do with refurbung Lila). Oh hell I have tears forming now. Big hugs and hope things move quickly for ya xxx
Oh the journey back 😢 Fabulous video Both. Do feel for Oliver on the ferry. So many awesome places under your belts. Just can't beat this lifestyle. Take Care Both. Keep Loving the Lifestyle. Love and Big Hugs 💙😻💜
Had to be done mate..needs must n all that.. 🤷🏻♂️ if I had my way, we would be back out there 👍 So many countries we've explored now and a European base now too..its mind boggling lol 😂 Take care mate, safe travels 🙏 Love and Big Hugs to you 💜😻💙
That was an epic drive, did you have any issues getting vignettes, I take it Lilla is under 3.5t so didn't need a go box in Austria? Hopefully you'll hear soon about Visas👍.
It was quite a drive looking back, Phil..didn't feel like a grind tho, so that's good 👍 Lilla is NOW 3.5ton..she wasn't and we fell foul of that in Hungary as we zipped through it over a few hours on a 3.5ton vignette..lol 🫣 £69 fine including the admin fees.. 🤷🏻♂️ we've reduced her now as it makes European travel easier 👍
Oh and I guess we snuck through Austria too then..OMG..bloomin rebels.. 😮😂😹😂 Karen was handling vignettes as I drove..only buying them as we knew we'd be heading into each country..not heard of a go box.. 🤔
Hi, Your video just popped up. I am surprised your cat adapted to travelling. Cats don't like change. I was in Bulgaria and found the language barrier quite difficult. Do more people speak English now?
Hi 👋😊 Oliver just took to it completely..he seems to adapt very well to all of his surroundings..if you watch earlier videos, he comes for walks with us a fair bit, no harness, no lead..he's a brilliant cat for vanlife. I would say perhaps younger people or ones who work at beach resorts may know English, but most folk that we've met, we've had to resort to phones for translation.. We're hoping to learn enough words that we don't HAVE to rely on phones so much.. 🤷🏻♂️
@@LillaHusVanlife I think my cat would not adapt so easily. He gets very nervous around unfamiliar surroundings. Enjoy Bulgaria and thanks for answering.
@@naturelover6520 we know a few people who travel with their cats and their's are similar to ours, but not all cats settle so easily.. Thank you for watching 😊🙏 take care.. 💜
@@LillaHusVanlife we got told once you’ve had initial appointment and been told your approved you can reside back to Bulgaria whilst awaiting the actual stamp? 🙌🤞🙏 it’s not too much longer 🙌
Our wait is for the Visa D..where you take your paperwork in, wait until there's a yes or no, then go back and pick up the Visa D 🤷🏻♂️ we've been weeks beyond the 45 days maximum, but have heard we're okay now 😊👍
@@LillaHusVanlife it was a compliment.....did you knew,that there was a viking state in bulgarian reageon of dobrudjia,where the Bulgarian state was created,in north dobrudjia in 681(the bulg state)....I dont recall when the viking state was created,they created many states in many places,also at the same place there was a English state(in dobrudjia)for a while ,.....I dont know if you heard how bulgars stopped the Arab invasion of Europe at the bosphorus and in central Italy they never tried again to enter from this places,in Italy our khan alcek with 10 000 armored mounted knights was helping the locals to fight the arabs,cause Roman military traditions were gone since the fall of Rome,and our Khan tervel(known as tribelius in the west)destroyed brutally the Arab army at constantinopol,in the siege at the beggining of the 8th century,probably arround 729 or smth like that (arabs soldiers were telling stories how 10 of their man cannot defeat just one bulgar warrior)and he was proclaimed saviour of Europe by the Pope and made saint without even being Christian ,also givven the title of caesar from the byzantene emperor and thats the only time foreign ruler takes this prise and the last one,you didnt know this things cause small nations are forbiden to have glory,did you knew that the Bulgarian calendar is proclaimed by UNESCO to be the most accurate in the world and that the Bulgarian ivan(john)atanasov created the first computer,also the airbag,the first electronic wrist watch named pulsar are created by bulgarians ,the telephone secretary,the automatic gearbox,and many,many more things....godbless my friend
What was the display on the windscreen at Karens mums? Said 12. Something? Bet it was a long drag back!! You keeping the van or going to change it for a car for when you return to Bulgaria?
That's a heads up display I use, Mark..saves me looking away from the screen and it's also easy to change from mph over to kmh, which is a bonus 😁👍 It was showing voltage, although it needs setting up for that properly. Long haul, yes..about 2,500km in 46.5 hours..didn't feel too bad though 👍 Still to be decided on Lilla..it all depends on whether we have to pay the 30% import tax or not.. we'll cross that bridge when we come to it 😉👍
Yes i know, which we did..we crossed the Bridge Of Friendship after filling our kettle in Bulgaria..did you miss it?? 🤔 Time mark 08:50 if you blinked..lol 😁👍
Great vlog peeps ❤

What size tyres does your van have ?

Had you consider Macedonia ever as choice? Hi from Macedonia 🇲🇰
We've never been there although we still have travel plans including Turkey, Albania and also Macedonia..Is it beautiful there?
You look like straight out of the vikings tv series
