Great meet up guys and Ruby definitely stood out
Beautiful video and what a fabulous meet up - good times! ❤️
What a fantastic video. Loved every minute. Beautiful place. Thank you for your tours to wonderful places. ❤
Fabulous video. What a beautiful and historic place. Full of great things. Oh I wish I was young again. Your adventures are inspiring ❤❤❤
Young again? I think age is just a number. It's your mindset that determines what you do 😉 We met one German guy in Colombia and again in Ecuador. He was in his 70's, travelling in a large classic German bus. He barely spoke Spanish, but he was living his best life ♥️ Our dream is to open a campground in South America when we are done, maybe you can come stay in our cabaña and we'll show you around a bit 😊
Wow. What a meat up😀! Fantastic to see all the VW’s. I can imagine the joy you both felt. Thanks for sharing. 😀❤️😀
Haha meat up... Love it 😂 It was really nice to meet more VW enthusiasts. Especially now our Spanish is good enough to spend a night speaking to people. We slwent to one in Colombia 2 years ago, but did spend the night with them all, mostly because we weren't confident in speaking to them. We camped near by and heard them part ALL NIGHT... Colombians love a good party 😂
Always a relief when a VW MkII kombi starts!
It's always nice when there a few friends to help you when it doesn't 😂
Simply fantastic. This is a real life. I wish I could do this one day
Keep believing. It was a dream for us once as well ❤️
Thank you
What a great time!! It’s nice to be in a tribe. 🤘🚐
Everyone was so welcoming to us. And wow... That BBQ was insane 😲
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant.. The standard of your videos has always been good but this is great!
Thank you for ending this video on a happier note. I am excited for that „Tomorrow“!! Stay warm up there. 😊🚐
Aww thanks buddy. This was actually last year. We are currently resharing some of our old videos for people who never watched them in our old channel. It was a great drive and the views at Laguna Paron were just incredible 👌❤️
Our '58 dove blue bus 🚌 💙 has sure melted and shaped our hearts since rescuing her from the Alaskan forest 7 years ago. So much fun ❄️ 🏔 😊
Aww amazing to hear. Nothing better than a rescued an revived VW story 😊
Absolutely fab. Thank you. Wow. Humbling to see this epic place with you. ❤
Aww we are so grateful to be able to explore these iconic landmarks and to bring people along as well 😊❤️
🎉🎉🎉 Firsties 🎉🎉🎉
Back in the game 💪
Stunning mountain pass 👌
Nooice! 😎 STOC
This is our type of drive 😎 Who would love to drive this mountain pass?
I try to envision taking my KLoUS on the adventures you’re on with each video. I am just not sure I have the same level of patience with the shadiness of mechanics that you have. I imagine the views and the experience more than make up for it. 🫡🚐
@@ajisroadtrippin5505 I can get that. I am very fortunate to travel with Willow who's knowledge and mechanical talents mean we very rarely have to rely on others, otherwise we probably wouldn't have made it this far. These landscapes definitely make up for the bad times though.
GREAT
Looks like fun
Love it ❤
Looks like great fun. Although we basically do the same in Ruby 😂
Great to see you again
You too! Thanks for joining us again 👍
Amazing video. Thanks for putting it out there
Thanks for coming over and watching buddy. Means a lot to us 👍😁
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Not the smartest idea driving a classic VW on its biggest weakness 😂 But... It was an incredible experience 😎
Another great video you two! Nooice! 😎 STOC
Aww cheers buddy. Miss out Baja days
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Gotta love the Baja 🤙
Nooice! 😎 STOC
👍
Save me some!!😋🚐
Will do. When can we expect your arrival 😜
Great vid, your Duck taping is brilliant 😬😆 Salt flats look awesome 😊
Hey guys you found us in the end 😊 Haha, I think I should take the title of chief mechanic. It's easy this fixing melarchy 😂 They are incredible. Definitely book a spontaneous trip to Bolivia one day and visit them 😜
With all that weight on Ruby, you should qualify to be in that line. 😂🚐
Oh we have had to spend a lot of money to stop Ruby looking like that 😭😂
😂
Nooice! 😎 STOC
We were super grateful to Jessica for looking after Ruby and the cats 👍
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Risky. She might realise I am. Not needy 😬😂
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Good old Blighty. Nice to be back in Ruby though. How's things? Has life got back to normal after the storms?
@KombiChronicles hi guys! It sure is. Things are going great. Building infrastructure and finally one of our pigs is pregnant 🐖 New front brakes for my VW are in the mail and I'm looking forward to getting my westy on the road.
11:00 your forearm is almost as dark as my chest!😂🤣🚐
I got proper tanned on the salar. Willow has a hilarious photo of my tan lines 😂
thank you sweethearts l enjoyed watching love you both loads xxxxx
Thanks for rewatching it Mum 😊 Hope you had a great weekend
What an awesome channel. I love it. We are your newest Aussie subscribers 🎉🙏🇦🇺🙏
Wow amazing. Happy to have you following this crazy VW road trip.
great video! good vibes ! And a CAT! Enjoy!
Cheers for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. These days we still have the vibes but with 2 cats 😂
Wishing you great travels. Do you have a limited slip diff? Just wondering how you tackle all the sand roads?
Thanks for well wishes. We don't, just an original 5 rib. We're just idiots 😂 We try to travel with Europeans with much more capable vehicles to help us if we get stuck 😂
Amazing. ❤
Awww thank you. We loved Baja. Really hope to go one day and exore it some more. Lots of happy memories there ❤️
Watching in Germany wishing I was back in the warmth of Southern Italy… or there. 😂🚐
How's the weather there? England sounds miserable again as always 😂 Southern Italy does sound like it might be a little warmer
Hope you aren’t too sore from the fall from the horse. A fun and enjoyable video - loved seeing more of your personalities. Willow and her mechanical skills continues to impress!
Oh my back was bad for almost a month after. Even now it aches occasionally. I cna definitely confirm that it is more fun on the horse than off it 😂 Willow is one talented lady. I am so proud of her and glad others get to see how amazing she is ❤️
Great video as always
Thank you. Still can't believe we actually visited here. Such a surreal place to visit.
great video both. the horse riding experience looked really cool
Ah cheers buddy. Thanks for watching. The horse riding was great fun. We were supposed to ride the horse right into the river, but my fall kind of ruined that. Felt sorry for Willow missing out on that.
Fantastic video guys - hope you didn't get hurt falling off the horse Lee 😮 looking forward to the next leg of your journey
Aww glad you enjoyed it. I actuly messed my back up pretty bad. Still suffering with it now. I can highly recommend staying on the horse, it is a much better experience 😂
Oh gosh I would be having anxiety with everyone watching me. You guys are hero’s, we want you around if we break down. X
It was a bit odd. The worst thing was that they spoke Portuguese and not Spanish. Haven't felt that useless speaking g to people since we first entered Baja many moons ago. You realise that if we were with you, you would probably be breaking your motorhome a lot more as we drag you down dirt roads 😂
You need to tell us how. That baby looks like it could hold ALL the gravy!!!
This is perfect for stuffing with mash and gravy. We just used a standard recipe and made sure we preheated our Remoska first.
Looks good!
Good times, breakdowns and camera hunting. Yep just another day in the Kombi Chronicles. 🫡🚐
Camera hunting is a new one. I don't think you'll be seeing me fall off any more horses in the future... Or at least I hope you don't 😬🤣
No Brasil temos muitas kombis...e uma cultura delas. Temos um problema clássico que é as folgas na direção. Porém temos uma solução trocando o sistema por uma cremalheira monza (opel) e cardãs de direção. Melhora muito. Fica bem estável ao dirigir. Os kits são vendidos pela internet. Parabéns pelo tour e espero vê-los por aí.
Olá amigo, estamos tão felizes que você nos encontrou. Em primeiro lugar, meu português é muito ruim e por isso estou usando um tradutor. Eu comecei as aulas embora. Estamos entusiasmados em testemunhar a cultura VW no Brasil, ouvimos muitas coisas boas sobre ela. Nosso maior problema é que nossa kombi é alemã e muitas das peças são diferentes. Sua solução parece interessante e com certeza vamos olhar para ela quando chegarmos. Esperamos encontrá-lo na estrada. Manter-me em contacto.
@KombiChronicles Yes. I am very pleased to hear about your expedition. I believe that even though your T2 is European, you can find adaptations here. But of course if you need it... and I hope you don't need anything. Much joy and luck to you. Welcome to the immense and diverse Brazil. We are from the Southeast region...Triângulo Mineiro. Who knows, maybe we'll meet you during your visit. hugs.
Ahhhh. You can't break Ruby now. You have an appointment with the end of the earth. Also of note here was that Willow is a better driver on a horse than you Lee, but then she drives Ruby with a lot more care too.😂😂😂
We do have a date with destiny and this is when Ruby misbehaves the most. Will take more than some stripped spines to stop us though. From now on, I will stick to VWs and bicycles. Horses clearly aren't my thing, but I think I am ok with that 😂
