    I feel like all I’m doing is itching watching this vlog. Those spiders! Eugh. Even watching your drone view of the dunes made me itch as the people started to look like bugs walking around. Lol.

    Just watching the rest of the video and seen you havent fitted a trap to your wast water you will get smells and insects coming up your wast pipe! sorry to be negative just trying to help!

    I laughed out loud, Nick. I think you called Leigh "Potbelly Anna" as he started running down the sand dune! So funny! Your nieces would have loved this part of the trip. But not the spider-aunts so much though. I love your dinner location on the terrace overlooking the old city and the castle.

    Hot 😂

    official weather temperatures are always measured in the shade to get the true air temperature. When a thermometer is placed in direct sunlight, it measures the air temperature plus the heat the sun adds to the thermometer, which can be several degrees higher than the actual temperature.

    Great vlog guys, really enjoyed seeing the dunes, looks super cool and the school kids were having fun too. As always the food looks so yummy. Are you guys drinking enough water you look so hot . I don't think I would like all those spiders everywhere especially if they bite. Hope you are having amazing adventures 👍

Thanks so much for taking me along with you, Oopsie, I mean us along, 😂😂 Love Ya’s ❤❤

    That sand dune was most impressive! It’s too bad you had to deal with that infestation of whatever kind of insects they were, but you managed to move past it. For what it’s worth, the “et” in the middle of the town where you were is the French word for “and,” and it’s pronounced like a long A. And finally, I’m an American, and I would’ve called the kind of pickle Leigh (I think) was holding up a gherkin. A gherkin is a kind of pickle, and we call it that in the US too.

    Having spent many months over many years camping in France, ants and critters are a perfectly normal part of life there and to be expected. Just put some ant powder down around the wheels and try to stop panicking.
