Hi, your enthusiasm and enjoyment of the places you visit is contagious. So glad you are having such a great time in Slovakia, it is stunning and your video shows you and the country with seamless skill. Well done Tom. Glad you are managing to fit your swimming and paddle boarding into your day. Cheers Cate xx
as a Slovak, I recommend you to visit the Muránská plain with the Zbojská farmstead near Brezno. You can taste typical Slovak specialties, make a small circuit through the gorge, go to the Čiernohronská railway (very impressive) 🙋♂️🇸🇰✊
The opening shots on the lake were so beautiful…..like everyone else, I’m sure, my first thought was, I must go to Slovakia!! My son has been there climbing and kayaking etc and loved it. Brilliant video again…thank you!
You can get little electric pumps that work off 12v. They also work with mattresses. Alternatively I'm sure you can get an adapter that works of an electric tire pump. Multi use.
I only saw a few snippets on Slovakia driving through, but my god those mountains are amazing, so much more diverse than I imagined. Duck views from the van as well, life is good! Chris :)
Aw, man! MORE fabulous places to add to my wishlist! Breathtaking to hike and swim. You are so lucky to experience these places - thanks for sharing them with us. Awesome!
I've also used a bit of clean river sand swirled round and round inside the tank to clean off algea. You can use a tablet afterwards if you like, but I don't bother.
Tom and Isobel. It's been a while since I last sent s message. Still watching all your episodes, enjoying the scenery, and a lovely couple full of excellent commentary and great humour. Keep them coming. Stay safe and enjoy 💙
I am pretty sure that wasn't the top of the route. It was half of it. You can go to the very top that is barren with a few lakes. Whole route is intermediate. Part you did was easy one. Looks like you reached only the wooden cabin. Maybe it was that closed one that reaches the top.
Awh that was good you made some new friends. I suppose travelling around in the van, you could get to miss other friends & your families though. You do very well being upbeat for all your vlogs they are always interesting and lovely to watch xx
When I was in Holland there was a shop where you all dressed up in traditional costume and had your photo taken. You should try it. You'd look great. I think they must have them in other countries too.
Kofola is nice in the start but after some days you realize why people prefer beer to it 😅😊. And despite you did this very well by car, most places in Slovakia are in very good reach by public transport even by train for example Poprad 😊and the high tatra
Hey guys, you have found some lovely locations, the cable car was very busy though! If you can get some “Milton” it’s used for cleaning babies bottles it will bring your tank back to new condition. Keep them coming👍👍Cheers Mike
Sorry to sound like the safety police … but. Love your videos and watch them all with envy. I noticed that in this video that you were far from shore with your SUP board but no buoyancy aid. That’s fine if you use the board in its place but you might think about tethering yourself with the ankle strap just to be on the safe side. Apologies for sounding like a busy body, just a genuine concern for your safety. Keep living the best adventure and thanks for taking us on your journey
No A/C in the van. It is pretty hot, but seeing the news it doesn’t look like it’s much hotter here than back home. These are the tatras, we will be heading to the Carpathians soon if all goes to plan
@@LostInTransit Tatras are the part of Carpathian mountain range which goes through multiple countries...but High Tatras in Slovakia are the highest point. Most of the range is in Romania.
In view of the ‘wardrobe failure’ a needle & thread may be a cost effictive remedy and it would be interesting to see your sewing skills. Perhaps ‘Serna Sews' would be a good book for a Birthday/Christmas present from Tom, (also on social media! )
Hi from Australia. Give your tank a good clean as others have suggested. You need to use chlorinated water to keep it clean. Because you use bottled water it is missing out on the cleaning chemicals. Safe travels. 🧡
Kia ora Tom and Iz enjoyed today's video of Slovakia very gorgeous and Tom I think you meant sun block not sun tan lotion...lol🤣😂 love that sun and heat over there im over winter but flowers are blooming in New Zealand spring is in the air...yay! hope all is well take care guys mch love from new zealand🥰
That is crazy! I really hope it cools down soon. The weather seems to have just turned for us as I write this, thunder and lighting just rolled in. I hope you are managing to say cool
Not trying to be crude, but it is THE most important subject.....so I take it the porta potty use is an absolute last resort and you never walk past a public/supermarket convenience or a secluded wooded area (armed with spade of course)? Aside from that I'd be worried about that wee thing coping with my production capacity.
I would not say ABSOLUTE last resort, we use it a lot more now than we used to. We do use public toilets where possible and do occasionally do wild poos (most wees are wild unless urban and spade in hand of course) BUT having seen how many spots are just becoming toilets we actually dont feel comfortable contributing to that so use the toilet more often. It probably needs emptying every three days or so for both capacity and smell reasons (this has only really become an issue in the heat)
Hi my name is Jahara and I’m 11 years old. I have watched all of your videos with my mum and sister . We go wild swimming and we are vegan too ☀️ We love your videos 😁 from Jahara
Hello Jahara! Thank you so much for writing to us, what a lovely message. I hope you, your mum and sister are enjoy the videos. Glad to hear you are vegan as well, I wish I was at your age. Wild swimming is the best, isn’t it? Have an amazing day! 😋

Clause Swab ! Hasn't been successful in getting them under Control Thankfully .So it's Lovely CASH 💸 💰 I Never leave Home Without It.. Do ye Ever Converse With Locals..?? 🤔
I actually had never really thought about it, but i think i would like to become more of a "cash person" from now on. We do converse with locals occasionally (more so in countries with more english speaking locals) but we are also usually pretty cautious with the camera and normally put it way if we do.
Have you thought about a composting toilet 🤔. The bikini will be missed 🤣. Just being able to jump into the water without having to worry about Alligators, water moccasin snakes or bull Shark's would be nice. Definitely a thumbs up for the video series 👍

We will have to hunt some down!
Slovakia looks amazing!
Love the drone shots in this. And the wild swim looked so refreshing on these hot England days!
That lake and village at the start was so idyllic 😍 and those mountains are astonishing ! 🤩
Really enjoying the banter between the two of you 👍
Thanks to you guys we were at Dedinky lake today , 2 hours from our new house in Hungary, what a beautiful place

In the first lake swimming, it is sunken village actually. There are buildings under the water.
Dedinky translates to "small villages" :) Glad you enjoyed the trip!
Wow what some scenery and swimming spots. Truly living the dream life. Keep the fun videos coming.
Man you two never fail with the amazing views , what a place . ❤

We didn’t really know what to expect from Slovakia, but it really is awesome. Such a beautiful country
Slovakia ..hidden gem of Europe!!
100% agree
Driving from the foothills of the Carpathians to the Tatra mountains. Awesome. Enjoy.

I use a lifestraw water filter. It's small so takes up no space and filters water very well.
Great video, just started following you guys. We would love If you provide link or pin of the park ups 😊

Well, this area has surprised me as to how lovely this area is - Thank you
Carpathian mountains...... I'm jealous. So nice. It's so hot in UK guys......we are all melting. How do you keep the van cool? Do you have A/C?
No A/C in the van. It is pretty hot, but seeing the news it doesn’t look like it’s much hotter here than back home. These are the tatras, we will be heading to the Carpathians soon if all goes to plan

Great scenery. 1726 when I write this any the temperature is 32 Met office say it is going to get cooler, hope so. Hosepipe bans in many parts.
That is crazy! I really hope it cools down soon. The weather seems to have just turned for us as I write this, thunder and lighting just rolled in. I hope you are managing to say cool
It's hitting 30 here in Ireland uncomfortable 🥲🤑
When you were near the village of Liptovský Ján, you could climb to the rock window called OHNIŠTE
as always lovely update keep safe
Thanks Brenda, glad you liked it
Izzy you look you’ve buffed out after all of these hikes, 👍
Be careful when flying your drone. It is prohibited in national parks in Slovakia. Good luck on your journey.
Keep them rolling 🙂
