  • Join us as we continue our full-time vanlife adventure around Ireland in our self build campervan, this time exploring the breathtaking County Wicklow! In today’s video, we take our home on wheels to the heart of Wicklow and head to the stunning Glendalough - one of Ireland’s most beautiful and historic locations. Surrounded by incredible scenery, ancient ruins, and peaceful lakes, it’s a vanlifer’s dream… but not without its surprises! Avoid Being Ripped Off At Ireland's Tourist Hot Spot
    As we soak in the beauty of the area, we quickly discover that the prices for tourists are much higher than expected. From parking fees to over priced food, it seems like this gorgeous spot has become a bit of a tourist trap. In this video, we share our thoughts on the costs and give tips on how to explore this area without breaking the bank. #vanlife #livinginavan #urbanvanlife #vanlifeireland #motorhometravel

    Your best drone footage ever NO its not you have done a lot better in the past. I did like the reflection in the water drone shot that was very good. The reason the food and drink charge so much is because they have been charged a premium to set up there and they need to make it back. So the only winner is the land owner. The ice creams did look lovely though. We are loving seeing Ireland you are really selling it. And to finish on Greg's special cheese and beans well. 😜 Stay safe guys see you on the next one.

    • @UrbanVanlife

      I think for us it’s the best drone footage because it was so calm and still and quiet and we loved the area so much, it’s not often you get the right conditions to get a glass lake etc, but Ireland for us has just been absolutely stunning and we have made some amazing memories and met some wonderful people, genuinely can’t wait to get back over and explore more!

    I say it regular but it’s so true, you guys really do crack me up. Since my dad passed in 2022 we’ve had me now 80yr old mam living with us who’s not very good on her pins and whose memory is going now too. To say it’s stressful at times would be an understatement but tuning into your videos on a night before going to sleep often brightens what sometimes has been a tough day so I’d like to say from me n the wife big THANKS. You don’t know when your putting these videos out who’s gunna be watching them or what they’re feeling and you two just being so funny and down to earth really does lift. Back to this video, your drone footage I agree is some of if not the best I’ve seen of yours so far, lovely scenery as is a great deal of southern island. Did you ever get to or will you be able to before you leave go to Waterford? That’s the place where the glass stuff comes from! Used to have a museum at the factory there, I don’t know if they still do but the area around there is lovely too. Take care look forward to the next one. And, once again, thanks guys. 👍🫶🏻

      Wow what a comment. Firstly thank you for your kind words, we have always said if we can make just one person smile it’s worth it and hearing this has genuinely touched us both, you never do know what someone else’s day is like, caring for another person can be a hard and draining thing no matter how much you love that person it can still take a toll personally, especially when they are losing their memory at times, (emma here). I have worked in and around people who have had dementia and Alzheimer’s, mental health issues over the years and have seen first hand how difficult it is for the families and loved ones and the people caring for them, even been attacked once or twice by elderly people who where not in good health whilst working with them so know all too well some of the challenges ♥️♥️♥️

      It’s a shame for them and having been in hospitality for years I get it to a degree, but we would have spent more if they where more reasonably priced as we absolutely loved the area, it was stunning, we also get that a place like that takes a lot of money for upkeep, and it was extremely well maintained, but as Neil said if you are taking a family there it soon adds up. As it was we spent around 35 euros on ice creams and coffee’s and Neil got some fries, plus the 15 euro to park in the day and then 10 euro to stay over night, so for a family it would be a lot more as Neil said.

      @UrbanVanlife  8 дней назад +1

      We get that to a degree but we spent around 35 euro’s on ice cream and coffee’s and Neil got some fries, as we do like to try and support places we visit, also 15 euros to park in the day and then an extra 10 euro for the night time (which was great for the location) but that was a lot for just 2 people if you have a family it would soon add up as Neil said, we get that special places like this take a lot of money to upkeep but maybe the authority’s should try not to over charge the vendors so the people visiting would spend more helping out the vendors also

      Emma here, having worked in the hospitality industry for 25 years plus, I understand pitch fees, insurances, licensing, business expenses etc the list goes on but all of that aside the bottom line is 8.50 for some bread and cheese is expensive, no matter how you look at it, and for a family it would be even more expensive, as it was we spent over the odds for coffees, ice cream and some fries as also it was expensive we like to contribute when we visit places and with day and night time parking fees we spend over 50 euros closer to 60 so for us and for many others it’s too expensive

    One of the problems is those food concession stands are probably paying a fortune to be there. I went to the Goodwood revival recently, it’s the same thing burgers, pizzas, fish and chips and drinks all at ridiculous prices.
    I’ve never been to Glendalough, even though my Irish girlfriend lived just down the road between Rathdrum and Avoca. We were always going to go, but sadly cancer took her away before we got round to it. But she told me it was an absolutely beautiful place.

    Hi, Emma and Neil
    We have just subscribed to your channel 😀.

    We are watching and loving your trip around Ireland 🇮🇪.
    The fresh twist you're putting on this compared to other channels is really refreshing 😊.
    Too many things to mention on the bits we've loved and laughed at, but pls keep the vlogs coming 🙏.

    Sadly is the high rent for the pitch that forces the traders to charge high prices. I spoke to a guy who had a burger van pitch at Creamfields once, He had paid £10,000 for a weekend pitch. 😱 So its built in to the prices.

    Unfortunately, traders charge a lot because they have to rent a space to put their business off the land owner which is usually extortionate. It's the land owner that's at fault

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  8 дней назад

      It’s a shame for them as we would have probably spent 3 x what we did if it was cheaper, land owners are making a fair bit as we had paid out twice for parking also (day rate and night rate as we stayed overnight) but again we get that a special place like that takes a lot of maintenance, but maybe the landowners should help the vendors out more

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  8 дней назад +1

      It is sad how expensive everything is becoming, the hospitality industry is really struggling across the board because of it, part of the reason I came out of the bars as no matter how much work and time and effort you put in some new issue would pop up and knock you back down in a different way! Yes there are successes but for small independent’s it getting harder and harder, I was working 70 plus hours a week to keep my staff bill down towards the end of my time in the bars, and finding other hours for my staff in different bars so they still had a wage coming in, but it’s just not sustainable or good for your health 🥲

  • @billyhenderson730
    @billyhenderson730 8 дней назад

    The local council charges high rates to have a pitch so the vendors have to raise their prices to make a profit. So it is not always the vendor being greedy.

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  8 дней назад

      Once again councils doing damage, we understand people have bills to pay and areas need maintaince and but it’s happening everywhere you go and it genuinely makes people spend less which isn’t fair on the vendors, the hospitality industry as a whole is been made to suffer, have seen it in the bars in Liverpool first hand

That’s if you like seals 🦭 and if you are into trees and views and walking Killiney Hill Park
