Ben, you should write a song about every ending destination, reflecting it's culture, style, mood... Even just a short little tune...
Dearest daughter.. so glad you remembered to drive on the right. I always find it hilarious when I get back to Uk and it says it for miles... if you arent already on the left its probably too late.
Glad you liked "Dee Nont.".. I've never been, but it looked like a good stop. Jealous of the beers !!
The van is looking even better than when you left.
Have a great trip.. looking forward to those medieval walled towns. Papa xx
P.s. Alan says zzzzzzzz
Pps.. the way Benny's playing in the back in Dover segued into the soundtrack was perfection... Intentional ? or more serendipity ? Xx
Ppps. I miss living in a bus !! But it's cool being here on the boat with Alan.
You have found the dangers of stopping anywhere near Calais in anything that looks like a commercial vehicle. Be very wary on the way back.
That being said another great video. Thanks you two
Isn't diversity wonderful :-)
@@JoeTheLion60it is but why are you mentioning it here?
It's good that your father stays on the boat. So you 2 have not to worry something will happen to the 2 boats when travelling
Spoilt...they should experience real life on street of Liverpool...let Benny boy fight for freedom in ukraine.hahaha
Miss pushy should get a real job....
SALVA UKRAINE....
I feel priviliged to be able to share in your adventure through the Vlog. You two are an absolute joy to watch, full of fun and joy.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
A super job you've both done transforming the ambulance, to a tiny home on wheels. Colours are lovely, tiles beautiful. 💚
I love your van😍 and I am happy that you enjoy your trip❤️so much! Thanks for taking me with you🙋🏼♀️🚐and all the best to you🙋🏼♀️❤️
Think you guys have struck gold with this ex-ambulance van!! So many good advantages!!
My wife & i have been tuning in for a while now, before the camper build,it looks great,love Bennys back ground music,you are both genuine,no click bait,just the way we like it,take care👍🏻
I have been watching your vlogs for a while now, and you two make such a lovely couple, so relaxed, and your a absolute joy to watch and listen too,
Have a great time away guys i see Benny has brought his guitar with him the most important item for a road trip
I smiled my way through that whole video 😊 I love Bennys face when he’s drinking a good beer & Emilys face when she’s eaten something good. I shall be thinking of that enormous bun all night with jealousy 😂 have the best time guys xxx
Being a more function over form kind of guy I say stop 'explaining' the state of your van. It has amazing functionality and the work you've done has made it quite homey, to my eyes. You should be proud.
Does Alan not travel well in a vehicle, or is it just a question of not needing the distraction of looking after her? I'm sure she's having a fine time on the boat with Dave, maybe they should start their own Dave & Alan channel. My experience with many cats over the decades has shown me that cats like being in a familiar place, like the boat she's been on for years.
What an adventure you're on! Can't wait to see it.
Oh guys…thought I might miss the boat and canals…toda’s vlog is the bees knees. The smiles on your faces tell it all! Hope you don’t mind I will be riding along vicariously! We need to get you to the US! Love and safety ….enjoy!
I'm addicted to vlogs. I watch hundreds a week. You two consistently are in the top 10 along with forsetryforest and the sailing brothers. Many come and go but your great works soar! Travel on my YT friends.
Bon viaggio. We had deadlocks on all the doors of our camper van which really makes it hard for anyone to get in. Fuel is cheap in Luxembourg so always fill up there and get a Starling card great for travelling in Europe,
Amazing job for only three weeks. Good to see you having a great time. You earned it!
You guys have done a great job on the interior of the van! It's interesting to see how it went from plain white ambulance to a distinctly Ben and Emily narrowboat look. You guys have a unique style that's all your own.
Oh it’s better by the minute. Please do not apologize for your daily life … we all live private lives! Kudos kudos❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Wonderful job on your ambulance, enjoy your trip and fill your videos of things we don`t see in publicity.
If someone tried to break in when you got to France, you'll need to be very careful coming home, or you might find you've got illegal stowaways in the back.
How many vans have you had before, Emily? No wonder you are at home driving one. Yes. You've made an excellent job of the conversion in such a short time. The best thing about those top cupboards and drawers is that they are lockable. That pull out table looks as if it needs some support on the outer end, but great job all round.
Loved seeing your packing for the trip😂 pile em high …After breaking attempt might be worth having the escape route opened up into the front cab area you obviously got your tool kit with you🤣😂
💜Amazing what you have achieved in such a short period, you are creative people and do not let the grass grow beneath your feet.
Clearly Emily is a natural to van life, you are both a force to reckon with.
I love that you have introduced everyone to Hendersons
Being a sheffielder it is the ONLY accompaniment to have
Loving your Chanel and following your adventures
Lee, Davina and Quincy the dachshund
What an amazing pair you are. I to was worried about the switch but I can see this is going to be an equally enjoyable watch. Really impressed with what you have done to the van.
Your ambulance conversion is sensational. Very groovy, interior colours fab. Cant wait for the vlog on Austria.
The van is amazing ! I love how you have even thought of a place to hang the bananas ...
It's brilliant! You two are brilliant. Your dad is brilliant. Well done on getting it done on time. I'll be following your travels ❤
Have Fun on-your travels you both are hilarious Love how happy and comfortable you are with each other ... 💕
I love Belgium, i was going to the Munich beer festival once and i stopped in Bruges and ended up staying for a week. 🍺🍻😜 have a great time guys and thanks for showing us.
Wow your van is looking fantastic. you both and Emily's dad have done a lovely job.And it's lovely that Emily's dad is going to be looking after Alan and your narrowboats. Enjoy your week.😊
You’ve worked wonders in the time you had😁. I love colour of the cupboards particularly green❤️. Other than the area around Calais vans are safe and welcome. Not knowing where to park overnight is more than often a joy and surprise with stunning views. Look forward to your next snippet of adventures
Loving the colours you used in the van & those tiles are to die for! It all suites you both very well. Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys. I just love seeing the old towns & the history behind them. You are doing a great job of giving us the background on these places! Enjoy your time away from the canals. Safe travels! Cant wait to see where you end up next. xx💕🇨🇦
The van turned out so well Ben and Emily. Hugs from Dublin 🍀🍀💚💚😺😺🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀
Your ambulance conversion is amazing ! Well done. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.
I've never particularly wanted to go to Belgium. I do now!
You have completely de-ambulanced the van. The inside looks so rustic and cosy 😍
I'm into vanlife so I only started watching your videos when you bought the van, but now I really just enjoy your videos because of your lovely personalities 😊
I love the way you have put your own touch on the van - it looks really great. As I said before I just absolutely love the tiles and your drawers look really great. Have fun
Bens shower scene was perfection 😂😂😂
It's massive !!!! But so cosy :) I actually put some of that sauce on my tea tonight Emily 😊 x
I think you have done an amazing job on the van, especially in three weeks build time! I’m enjoying the trip so far and am looking forward to more. Thank you!
Wow guys love your van, love the colours and all the lovely wooden cupboards and the tiles are beautiful, it’s such a fab cosy space 😀 have a great time, looking forward to coming along with you both on your adventures 😊 enjoy and stay safe 💜
Wow weesickles I can’t believe you are on your way in your fabulous new van build. My goodness you did so well in building your van ready for your trip! Fantastic guys!❤
What a genuinely nice couple you come across as, it's been brilliant following your van build and its pricing to be equally as enjoyable following your travels.
Very entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to make and share the videos :)
🎉So happy to see you enjoying the "van",the trip, the scenery,& the experiences. And the BEER, & pastry! It's fabulous of you to put up with the us helpful folks ,too 😂😂😂
A quick top tip for you don't listen to bull poo. Red oxide always then any colour undercoat then your final coat. Don't use all this and that. I was offered job as paint foreman. Years ago with transocean. I declined as I worked full time on ship. Take care both and all my love to Allan she is so much like my 1st cat tiddles.xx
You've done an amazing job on the van. It looks great! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
What a wonderful video. Being away from the canals gives you two the chance to show everyone something new and exciting, and you’ve done that exceptionally well. Makes us think of doing something new ourselves. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊❤️😎
Laughing at myself because of all the things I might comment on, it’s the Hendos!!! I’m glad you’re bringing a little bit of Sheffield on your European travels 😂
Your van is amazing you are both incredible designers and home makers. Loved the drive with you , through the towns, new shops different food. Loved that your music was in back ground Benny, made it all very special. So looking forward to next week. All the best.❤️💙🎶
I am well impressed with what you managed to do in converting the ambulance in to a camper van in only 3weeks well done,look forward to seeing what you do.
Really enjoyed watching you both as always. You have made a lovely little home together well done. Cant wait for the next one. Have fun
fantastic enjoy the trip looking forward to next blog keep safe
In 3 weeks I think that's a great build on the van, very envious :)
Missing Alan already 🥲❤❤❤
Looking good and enjoy the trip.
One of the drawbacks with a right hand drive and toll tickets is that the ticket is dispensed on left hand side of your van.so the passenger has to pick it from the machine. As soon as the ticket is dispensed the barrier rises.
Just a further point what I found was helpful- as most people in Europe do speak english- greet them in their language then ask in their language if they speak english rather than straight in with ‘do you speak english’, I have always found it helpful and gets you off to a good start.
I even do this in Wales but leave out the ‘do you speak english’ bit.
Be glad you got out of France its a dump these days, your now the second channel I've seen go over there in the past few days and had issues not long after, A fishing channel I watch was stalked and had three guys hanging around him for hours... You get there and had a attempt at a break in
Wow guys….great job on the “vanbulance “ Love your tiles and the colour scheme in general. Am going to enjoy your travels.
I follow a couple of You tubers from Italy.
@BenandEmily it has been a delightfully unique journey watching you both throughout your van build adventure 🤗 What a wonderful experience it is to watch a day in your lives 💙
Really impressed with the ambulance conversion. Well done you two.
Please check if that green hose is safe for drinking water, in the usa we must use white hoses for drinking water, the green tastes like tires smell :)
I'm hoping to do a 90 day trip round Italy myself next year so it'll be really interesting watching you both on your trip. Didn't think you'd be ready in just three weeks so you've done really well getting your van ready. Hope you both have an amazing time. Dreams are for living. Good luck both and have fun. 👍
Hey guys the van looks amazing
You’ve both worked so hard to complete it all
On the subject of your paint on the overhead cupboards
I’m a furniture artist in Australia
If you use chalk paint it will adhere to anything just make sure you seal it to protect it but it definitely won’t budge once you e painted with it.
Maybe give it a go over the painted areas
Enjoy your trip I’m so envious take care 🥰
Very cool town of Dante, with the lovely buildings, museum, pastries and that cherry beer looks so good. Your van is very cozy, very Ben and Emily vibe, Love it.
honestly, that’s so impressive for 3 weeks?! the van looks amazing and so cosy 😍 congrats guys and enjoy the adventure!!
Van looks absolutely fabulous. Love the colour 💚🧡 enjoy your trip to Italy 🇮🇹
Hope we still get some content from Alan whilst you are away !!

I keep watching because you are such an endearing couple. Your movies are always interesting.
Great job!! You two are quite happy with your new home and I'm sure as you use it you'll make adjustments and move things around to fit where you want. You shouldn't apologize as the majority of us watching you would not have the imagination or talent to take on such a conversion job!! So congratulations you both on your creativity and accomplishment!! Stay safe on the road and your travels!!
The van is fabulous! Hooray you two and Emily's dad!!!!!
and alan
The music on your channel is what makes me come back. It will be sumliminal to many. Benny does it all everybody. . No stock musak.
A great start to the trip .. you were making me salivate with the lovely French treats.
I'm watching this one again, great video!!! The van looks so roomy and comfy. Look forward to the next one. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much! 😊
It looks great! I'm sure it will be absolutely wonderful once you get the little final touches done.
You’ve all done amazing work on your van. Thank you for sharing and sharing you our travels. ❤
Your van looks like you have been in it forever. It's GORRRRRRGEOUS AND SO COZY! You can't help but be carried away with your infectious enthusiasm and delight with whatever you are looking at or wherever you are. Loving the little longer vlog, so much to fit in. Well done, Em's dad, for helping them. The van is fab xx
You guys have done a fantastic job on the van in 3 weeks. Well done guys. Xx❤. Enjoy your adventures xx
Love your vlog . From narrowboat to van, so exciting.
The van is really nice, the colors, the layout all of what I see is so comfy cozy. If I had not watched your channel I would not believe that something that lovely and creative was done in 3 weeks 💯.
I love that I am seeing places that I have wanted to visit. Be blessed and stay safe🙏🏿
Well done both of you, your van looks so comfy and cosy. Love watching your vlogs and very excited to see you travel on land xx
Excellent video, brought back many memories for use around Garda and Sermione from 25 years ago, driving from the north of England with the kids. Such a beautiful place coupled with a train trip to Venice.
Nice one you have done a top job on that van you must be well chuffed have a Top time and a safe trip 🙂🥕🎸✌️
Well I feel like you've really gotten off to a better start than your last continental jaunt! And the Belgian town Dinat? was just stunning. It must make it all the more enjoyable that the thought and work you compressed to get going has paid off. Safe travels!
the ambulance has turned out great . thanks for sharing and look fotward to following your travels .
Lovely job on your van.
Enjoy your trip. Be safe.🙏🌝💚
Your van turned out sooooo amazing ❤❤❤you two put out great episodes always but this one has been my favorite thus far. I even got a bit teary eyed as I miss my home town of Idar-Oberstein Germany. Great episode wish you a safe and adventurous journey. As always thank you for sharing with all of us❤
Wow, you can really be proud of what you achieved in only 3 weeks! Amazing, cosy, lovely colours. Have a nice trip to Italy.
Emily you can wallpaper the cupbord doors instead of paint, maybe something similar to your tiles. 😊
The van looks amazing and beautiful and you both look buzzin!
I was at a friends a couple of days ago that I’d not seen for a year, we also worked together. He and his wife just bought a camper van and I said you should check out Ben and Emily, he was like we love Ben and Emily!!! 😊
You two make my Saturday evening! I envy you your lifestyle. Brilliant job on the van - so cosy 😊
I think you’ve done an amazing job on the van and what a difference from the last van 👍🏼
The new van looks amazing, I love the colors and all of the tiles. And that it says SMOKIN over the window 😅 brilliant! ❤
Excellent vlog. Well done, cracking job on the conversion. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventure.👍
Love ie, Excellent Job & Enjoy Your First Trip in the New Van.
You have done a grand job and in only three weeks that’s a record enjoy your travels nice you let us come along give some sun to our dreary lives luv from the oldies 🤗🤗👋🌷
Fab job…the van looks a cool. Love all the colours 😊
Gorgeous van. You will figure out where things go as you live in it. That pastry looked momentous!! Have a safe and wonderful trip!
Belgium, a beautiful place with beautiful people.
Hi guys, watched your van build videos and really enjoyed them so have subscribed. Well done on getting it how you wanted and ready to go int 3 weeks. Hope you enjoy your journey and good luck.
So many perks of converting the ambulance opposed to a Sprinter or similar. Nevertheless I feel not most could undergo such a feat in such a short space in time. Especially softening it in the way that you have. Be proud. ❤ x
Hi Guys, what a great job you have done with the van. Thank you for taking us on your travels. I'm always interested to see what food you eat. So looking forward to the cities you visit. You really bring us along on your travels as though we are there. Thank you. Regards from New Zealand.
An amazing van conversion and it’s beautiful inside. Well done also to Dad (and Alan for her supervision 😉).
Love Belgium, we’ve had a few holidays there.
Please be careful though and look after each other.
