You handled it the best way possible, but that was scary! So glad you are safe! The monastery was one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen, thank you.
You guys are by far my new favourite UA-camrs! I'm bummed I missed you while you were here in Australia, I just documented my outback trip too! Would have loved to see you on the road
My love and support is with you guys! As a nomad myself, the thought of someone continuing to try an enter your home after knowing you’re in it is terrifying! Thankfully you were able to drive away! I’m sending healing thoughts from the Pacific Northwest! 🌲❤️🌲
Fit sensor cameras for the outside of the van, sensor/manual spot lights, a loud alarm/series of alarms that you can set off, bear spray, baseball bat.
Thank heavens you are both safe! How terrifying for you- i hope you have been able to find safe spots so that you could enjoy those well deserved hot springs. You are such a wonderful couple and by far the best you- tubers I have ever found. The videography in this post was A-Ma-Zing. Sending you much love and peace and wishing you all of the very best ❤❤❤
Stay safe, guys!!! It must have been frightening for you both. It will be hard,but you need to put this behind you and enjoy the rest of your travels. Loving all your drone shots. Greetings for Ireland
Meteora is stunning! Amazing drone shots! How did they build that place? Thank you for sharing that adventure. OMG I was so scared for you both! Your adrenaline must have been pumping crazy! Seriously the audacity for someone to try to break in knowing you were inside. I’m so glad you could get away. Healing from that will take time. You poor babies! 😢 (I feel like I’m your mum!) That was terrifying! (And here we’re making you relive it.) I hope you’re warm and safe wherever you are. Greece is a beautiful country with lovely people. I know you’re both optimistic and won’t let one arse spoil the whole country for you. Big hugs from Southern California 🌴
Thanks Carina 🥰🥰 it was so beautiful wasn't it. Greece is incredible, and the people are so friendly, those scumbags definitely not representative of our time here ❤️🇬🇷
OMG at the beginning of this video I was laughing so hard and then its just heart breaking that you had the stress of that. Glad that you are okay. Stay safe and sending so much love ❤️❤️
Your vlog started so great with amazing drone shots and Keely being the crazy funny adorable woman we know and love. And then, what an absolute downer for you, especially after your previous experiences. I pray you can find some peace of mind and that this doesn't affect you badly for too long. You are both so genuine and I am really grateful for everything you share with us. Stay safe lovely peeps xx
We have been at this spot for over a week for about 1 month ago. We had no problem (we parked downstream, not above the refugee centrum). What did amaze me was that so many people leave their vans completely open and out of sight with all values out in the open... There is a certain person there, a shepherd that comes every single day, and sometimes during the night. He does this for many years already (Rust to roadtrip also had troubles with him). He is begging for money and he will try door handles like it is nothing... Normally there are always quite some vans around there but we were a few nights alone too but didn't have any problem. If I were you, I would go back, in the morning, enjoy the river. Park closeby (you can park within 2m or something) so you can have an eye out.
Yeah our friends had no problems at all when they were there last month. However we got a message on IG from someone else saying they went there yesterday and apparently someone was broken into the night after us, had their window smashed, and then last night someone had stuff stolen from van while they were in hotspring. So seems like someone is on a bit of a rampage these last few days. We would NEVER leave our van open even in sight 🤣🤣 the paranoia is real after bad experiences haha.
What a gorgeous place! The drone shots and the landscape are absolutely incredible! So, so glad you are ok and whatever was going on, you handled it and got away from it safely. Sending all my ❤ as always! xo
Hi ya nice video, drone shots were brilliant. Sorry about the attempted break-in, low lives.We had 36 Deg C today 🥵.Take care but most of all stay safe and cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤩🤩🥵🥵❤️❤️🧁🧁
A man i know here from Norway was in Spain last summer with a camper van. He wake up in the middle of the night from the sound of someone try to break in to his car. He is a big man and can take care of him self if he get in trouble normally so he do like you do and tell them to go away. They dont bother him inside the camper van and keep trying to get the door open. Outside it was 2 men and they both had iron bars in their hands When they get the door open they attack him with the iron bars to he be unconscious. He wake up on hospital 3 weeks later after been in coma since the attack. Half his face was smashed in, his jaw was broken, his teeth were knocked out, a hole in his head, a broken arm, broken ribs +++. It is not easy to defend yourselves against such people and when they know there is people in the van and they have with them iron bars, they dont botter if they hurt anyone. You two was very lucky it go so well and dont be hurt. Hope you never have to experience this again
Wow that is horrific!! I am so sorry to hear that happened to him, that is truly terrible. I am so glad we got away before anything happened. Some people are absolute scum of the earth! I hope he has fully recovered now and pray that none of us ever have to experience something like that. 🙏🙏
@@phillyandkeely He is home and almost good now bit you still se that his one side of the face are smashed and he have no teeth on one side of his mouth. And he have another sound when he speak. But he still have some hospital treatment before he be all good again. He was very lucky because he could be dead because of this.
Thank you for showing us some beautiful places in Greece. Now you two, ye did the right thing,ye didn't open the door and got out if there. World is gone mad, there are people who think it's OK to invade people's private space. Glad ye got away. Much love from here to ye.
Scary! Stay safe, you did the right thing. We took our van to Meteora last summer and love it too! No wild camping allowed in the area then, so that’s one advantage of going off season!
@@phillyandkeely Hahaha I can barely open a jar these days, let alone hang from a nubin 😂 I did used to wake up though with the smell of the rock in my nose, calling me to it 🏔 x
Bloody hell guys after a couple of good active days that happens. I am so glad you are alright. Very good advice there. Always keep the doors locked until you see ID. Love you guys xx
Thank you so much both of you for sharing yourselves and your adventures - your unbridled joy and childish enthusiasm for life and life's experiences makes you an absolute pleasure to watch .... you make me smile a lot!! Sorry you had this awful thing happen it must have been so scary but glad you are ok and didn't lose anything. Meteora is certainly an amazing place , I was as awestruck by it as you and you're right Philly it's very good for the soul!! Happy and safe Travels from an Aussie fan. 🤩
My favourite parts of Greece and Turkey was learning all of the history of where we were. Coming from a relatively new country, New Zealand, it's quite hard to comprehend.
Omg from absolute beauty to total nightmare!! I travel solo so having someone try to break in while in the van is my biggest fear. So pleased you're both safe and have each other. Stay positive x
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰 someone in the comments gave us great advice to buy wasp nest spray. Apparently it shoots like 20ft and will incapacitate them immediately if sprayed in their face. A big air horn to deafen them and a light to blind them 💪💪 I'm sure you wont encounter it, I think we are just super unlucky when it comes to stuff like this. But good to be prepared. 🙏🙏 Sending love and positivity right back at ya 🥰🥰
Glad your both safe. The Greek people are so nice. There is a high probability that they were migrants trying to break into you van. I'm not trying to make a political statement or be unkind to any race. So I would say, try parking with a couple of other vans were possible for safety. Chat to the other people vans. Agree to look out for each other. Stay safe.
Philly and Keely. To prevent break ins when I’m in my camper I have 3 dogs that have terrifying growls. They leave pretty quickly. For you guys record growling dogs off the internet and play the growling if it happens again.
Those cheeky f#####s. Sorry this happened to ye. Thank god ye didn't open the doors. Hope it doesn't spoil the rest of your travels. The drone shots are amazing. Hugs x
Hey you two. Thank you so so much for sharing. You have been ridiculously unlucky and deserve to never have to experience anything like this again. Your videos bring us so much joy and have been part of our inspiration as we count down to embarking on our own adventures in Nellie. (42 days until we leave the house!). Keep the faith guys and stay strong 💙🙏
@Philly & Keely | Chapter By Chapter Well...... until September it'll be localish mostly due to commitments but then we're thinking Ireland for the autumn 😀
Amazing scenery! I have been to Greece but in the Spring. It was hot in May. I am so sorry that someone felt they had to try to steal from you. You handled it well. I know that it leaves you with some PTSD though. I do hope that you have some kind of protection in your van. I love watching you guys enjoy your adventures. Be safe! ❤❤❤❤❤
We watch a few van lifers on youtube, and we really like your videos! We loved following your journey through Japan in 'Allen' and we love watching your relationship with each other that looks so good and healthy. It's obvious you love each other so much and that makes us smile :-)
Awww thankyou so much 🥰🥰 I feel so lucky that we are still so in love after all these years ❤️❤️ still want to kill ecahother sometimes haha, but that only lasts about 30 seconds then we are laughing at how ridiculous we are.
Amazing travels guys! Climbing is something I’d like to try one day! So sad end to the video, hopefully nothing happens again, you guys always seem to get chosen!
Greek history is just incredible to think the monks built these mind blowing monasteries what a death defying feat of will power, strength & tenacity!! Chinese & Greece culture & recorded history goes back to 1500BC apparently ~ "The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Middle Ages. Around 1100 BC, the people of the Dorians invaded from the north and spread along the west coast". Love that you are both willing to climb & explore plus the drone footage was priceless, so emotive it would bring tears to your eyes!! I still can not believe that people would have to pure audacity to try to break in while you are inside, omg that was so scary & thank goodness the Van was safely parked for quick getaway! Take care gorgeous couple! 💜💙
Greece and Bulgaria seem to have issues with harassing campers. Maybe it depends on the area of the country. Their aggressiveness would be how violent drug addicts would act. My instinct would be to fight, but not wise to step out. You handled it perfectly.
Drone shots are incredible. Go South for sure. Runnnnnn hahahaha 😆 Well done on your run. You did a run..Well done. You are absolutely correct. The thieves planned bodily harm. Stay safe both.
Stunning video and OMG the drone footage ❤The audacity of someone trying your door while you’re in the van is very disturbing, thank goodness you had your wits about you and you’re safe! Take care and enjoy the rest of your trip
Thanks so much 🥰🥰 Greece is honestly so great. I think we are maybe taking it a bit too slowly haha. We need to be back in UK soon and we are just chilling, it's just so lovely here
Wow what an awesome place, never seen anything like that, beautiful ! Oh guys what a horrible experience, that could of been a lot worse. Getting out of there quick was definitely the right decision, most people would have done the same, including us. You never know how many of them where out there. Safe travels 😍 Ps. The drone shots where epic 😁
Omg guys, I’m so sorry this happened to you, don’t let those b*****d’s get you down! You cheer me up every week & I’m gutted for you that someone has tried to do that but they didn’t get in because you kept level headed & got out of there, take that away with you that they couldn’t fool you! They weren’t locals, my cousin has lived in Greece for a long time & says that it foreigners of Greece from all different countries that do this & that you need to report it to the local police! Hope you guys are ok, love & look after each other. ❤️
Really enjoyed your video. Love the banter between you. Sorry you had to deal with an attempted break in. We haven’t experienced that but it must be scary.
Thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say. We've had far too many attempted break ins lol. First year we lived in London in the van it was practically a weekly occurrence, but this was the first time we've ever had someone that didn't run away once they realised we were inside. It really is a horrible feeling, I hope you never experience it ❤️💪
Glad you're both ok and definitely did the right thing by moving on. Don't let them win! Enjoy your travels and most of all keep the craic going. The drone shots were fab. Looking forward to next week 😃
I’m so sorry to hear about the break in. Can I suggest you get someone to do an energy clearing on your van. It would make good viewing content at the extremes you would go to to get over this but it will also work. P.s. love your pj shirt. I still think you need to have a pj sales line 🤣😱 bless and stay safe. 😘 Love from Australia- I’m also travelling Aust
Great escape! So sorry you had to experience that. How awful! Loving what you do, though and looking forward to better nights and warmer weather - right!? :)
Hi Keely & Phil, I love watching your videos. And Keely cracks me up. I was wondering what app you used to find camps, when you were here in Australia? Cheers Karren 😊
Well that was a bad shake-up for you two. At least you knew what to do, don't let them in and drive off. This is a good teaching video for others on the road. Love that you went to Meteora, I so loved it there, want to go back again some day. Your cookies looked good Keely, I love when they are gooey and soft like that. I'm with you Philly, put all the layers on and get under the covers when it's cold. Thanks for another great video, sending good vibes and love your way. Till next time.....
Wow!! A bit of a shocker, that one. Still you handled the attack really well and went on to have a good week notwithstanding. Loved the climbing clip, well filmed and great editing throughout. Forgot to ask, did you see the snow in Japan after you left? It went really wild, you were lucky with your timing. Press on guys, keep safe. 👋
Love the colours Mandy and your knobs😂. Your personality is coming out in your design. Looking forward to see what comes next. Yeh MOT first time. Take care x
You guys seem to have the luck... So glad you're safe and well done not opening the van up. That's unbelievable that they continued trying after knowing there was at least 1 person inside. Stay safe.... love your videos.
I recently came across your channel and love all the beautiful places you both share with all of us! You both are so funny and make me have a good laugh.🙂 I am sorry you both had to go through the attempted break-in. I am so glad you are both safe! Thanks for all your hard work. God bless!❤
Hi guys you did the right thing it must be hard especially after the break in too Meteora was awsome and great drone shots, try and put it behind you and move on Onwards
Well done for not panicking when they tried to break in. The mountain's with church's built on top fantastic hope you're staying safe keep having fun traveling 😀
What an absolutely magical place.. And the drone shots are amazing. I was totally committed to getting there one day - and still will. But DANG !!! I'm so so SO saddened by the attempted break-in! what the F!??!! Just really horrible! You are right - there are SO many wonderful people all over the world.. and then the freakin' bleep bleeps!!! So glad you kept your wits about you and did not open the door... really good lesson! it would be a mistake I could see me and my hubs doing.. just open the door to see who was there. Yes.. best to just drive away. Thats the benefit of having our homes ready to roll. God bless you both - keep on trucking and thanks again for taking us to wonderful places!
The first time I did travel years ago, I had two medium size dogs, once whilst looking out the window, a man seemed to be coming straight for my van...my two dogs barked ferociously and he darted away. But it still left me shook. Now I am beginning another long adventure in a Toyota Sienna with no dogs (They passed during covid)and I have to say it is a different kind of travel. I have a walking stick that has a taser on the end and I periodically practice. It is right next to me for quick access. The FIRST action will be to drive away. Your action was the best choice. Also, such amazing footage you shared with us. Really enjoyed that.
Yeah I think driving away is always the best choice if possible. Sorry to hear about your dogs passing, hopefully no need implement any of your safety measures, but it's good to have some just incase
Massive kudos and praise for the way you handled that situation. As you've discovered, safety first, ask questions later. Mega love to you both, and hope you're still exploring the wonders that Greece has to offer - dont let one rotten apple put you off, the barrel is FULL of deliciousness 😂 Here's to a quieter and more restful week ahead! ❤
Thought the way you handled the situation was impressive. On screen you seemed very calm but I can tell it got to you - because it's probably the thing we all dread happening the most. Remember 99.9% of people are good and kind, and try not to dwell on what that person's intentions were. Sending love and hugs. X
OMG guys 🤬😠 I'm shaking and angry just watching this video. You guys did the right thing, but please don't let it spoil your journey. You guys are absolutely amazing. Obviously, take some time to heal, but remember you are warriors and won't let opportunists ruin it for you. Sending huge love ❤️
OH MY LORD 😮!!! what a traumatic experience. So glad you listened to your instincts and not open. So happy you are safe, but the nerve of these people. Scary. I am so so sorry for you. I got back from work once and my patio door had been shattered and they stole a lot. It took me a few days to feel safe in my house that had been “violated”. I can’t imagine how I woul’ve felt if I was inside when it happened. I hope you guys will find a way to recover from this. You are strong together as a team ❤. I really hope you will feel better and safer everyday. Sending loads of love and positive vibes your way 😊 Oh and yes ! The drones shot are amazing.
Hi guys great to see your both relatively ok . Don’t let it ruined your amazing travels keep positive your doing great . Wow Greece is amazing can’t wait for the next vlog . God bless you both . Steve b U.K. 👍
That was a horrible situation for you to be in but you handled it incredibly well. Before that awful incident - oh wow! What a stunning place that was. I only just found your channel and have subscribed immediately, I look forward to seeing more of your adventures and hope every day of them is a good one for you. 🙂
I'm so sorry that this happened to you after being robbed and then the fire. It's crazy isn't it? May God watch over you two and hold you in the palm of his hand. 🙏🙏
Would bright outside light help so you can light up the whole area around your van?they might feel a bit to much exposed in the light and leave,hope you both keep safe 👍
Bless you Hope you r OK please stay save . But don't let um get you down. Have thought of fitting camera s to your van .love your vids. Stay save be save.
So glad you guys escaped something that could have been really horrible - you did the right thing, made lots of noise an drove off! Your experience has brought forward my plans to install large flood lights on all four sides of the van that can be turned on when in bed which will hopefully deter would be break ins. Chins up guys, just a blip - don’t let it ruin your time in Greece xx
I am so proud of you both ❤💓💛.... 🙏🙂🦋 ....aah youth, how much I miss mine. I'm a 56 year-old lady living vicariously through you.... you are doing things I always hoped to do and may never be able to, Bless you both!! I'm living in my van in northern Wisconsin and I really can't travel very far but you have captured SO much Beauty that is absolutely Beyond Heavenly and I love so much watching your Channel ❤❤ you have captured Beauty I never knew existed on this Earth.
Thankyou so much for your kind words Raven ❤️❤️ if we ever make it to America maybe our paths will cross in Wisconsin 🥰🥰 I'm sure there is so much beauty to see
@@phillyandkeely absolutely! And I also think you would have so much fun here in Wisconsin at a place called " House on the Rock " ..... you have to see it and experience it to believe it it's great fun ! 👍✌🙂
You handled it the best way possible, but that was scary! So glad you are safe! The monastery was one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen, thank you.
The Monasteries were great weren't they!! Greece is so beautiful so far ❤️🇬🇷
You guys are by far my new favourite UA-camrs! I'm bummed I missed you while you were here in Australia, I just documented my outback trip too! Would have loved to see you on the road
Awesome will have to check it out, it's a special place 🦘🇦🇺
@@phillyandkeely you’re luckier than me, I didn’t see camels 🐪

Fit sensor cameras for the outside of the van, sensor/manual spot lights, a loud alarm/series of alarms that you can set off, bear spray, baseball bat.
Yeah we were thinking big blinding lights and big deafening alarm. Definitely being added when we get back 💪💪

Scary! Stay safe, you did the right thing. We took our van to Meteora last summer and love it too! No wild camping allowed in the area then, so that’s one advantage of going off season!
Yeah it was pretty quiet when we were there only two other vans in the whole area so noone seemed to mind ❤️
Meteora looks amazing, I used to rock climb many years ago around Derbyshire. So sorry to see the near break in, glad you got out safely. Stay safe xx
Thanks so much, it really was so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰 you should get back on the rock!! It's the best feeling in the world 💪💪
@@phillyandkeely Hahaha I can barely open a jar these days, let alone hang from a nubin 😂 I did used to wake up though with the smell of the rock in my nose, calling me to it 🏔 x
Stay safe guys. I bet that was very scary indeed. No joke. Terrifying. Hope you get over that soon
We are all good, I just couldn't believe they kept trying! Just so scummy to do it with people inside.
Bloody hell guys after a couple of good active days that happens. I am so glad you are alright. Very good advice there. Always keep the doors locked until you see ID. Love you guys xx
Thanks Jayne ❤️❤️ yeah great few days, Greece has been awesome so far (attempted break in aside haha)
Scary stuff! Glad you're both ok!
Thanks Helen ❤️❤️

My favourite parts of Greece and Turkey was learning all of the history of where we were. Coming from a relatively new country, New Zealand, it's quite hard to comprehend.
❤️❤️ yeah both countries are incredible for it
Your both safe that the main thing. Your battery must be good to start your van after 4 months.
Thanks ❤️ yeah it's a new battery, plus it was getting tickle charged by solar overflow I think 💪💪
Omg from absolute beauty to total nightmare!! I travel solo so having someone try to break in while in the van is my biggest fear. So pleased you're both safe and have each other. Stay positive x

@Philly & Keely | Chapter By Chapter Well...... until September it'll be localish mostly due to commitments but then we're thinking Ireland for the autumn 😀
Lovely!! Makesure to do the ring of Kerry, it will be stunning in colours of autumn
Amazing scenery! I have been to Greece but in the Spring. It was hot in May. I am so sorry that someone felt they had to try to steal from you. You handled it well. I know that it leaves you with some PTSD though. I do hope that you have some kind of protection in your van. I love watching you guys enjoy your adventures. Be safe! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Carol ❤️❤️ does a kitchen drawer full of pointy things and a rolling pin count as protection lol?
Aw bless you both, stay safe, take care…….Kim 💜
Thanks Kim ❤️
Big hug guys ....
Stay safe.
Thanks Sean ❤️
We watch a few van lifers on youtube, and we really like your videos! We loved following your journey through Japan in 'Allen' and we love watching your relationship with each other that looks so good and healthy. It's obvious you love each other so much and that makes us smile :-)
Awww thankyou so much 🥰🥰 I feel so lucky that we are still so in love after all these years ❤️❤️ still want to kill ecahother sometimes haha, but that only lasts about 30 seconds then we are laughing at how ridiculous we are.
@@phillyandkeely Yes i know exactly what you mean!!!
Omg! How dreadful 😖 thankfully you two are ok physically! Go easy on yourselves to recover from this awful ordeal x
Thanks Bridgeen ❤️❤️
Amazing travels guys! Climbing is something I’d like to try one day! So sad end to the video, hopefully nothing happens again, you guys always seem to get chosen!
We will take you climbing when back in the UK! 💪💪💪
Try and satay safe guys. Thank god you are ok. X
Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️
Greek history is just incredible to think the monks built these mind blowing monasteries what a death defying feat of will power, strength & tenacity!! Chinese & Greece culture & recorded history goes back to 1500BC apparently ~ "The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Middle Ages. Around 1100 BC, the people of the Dorians invaded from the north and spread along the west coast".
Love that you are both willing to climb & explore plus the drone footage was priceless, so emotive it would bring tears to your eyes!!
I still can not believe that people would have to pure audacity to try to break in while you are inside, omg that was so scary & thank goodness the Van was safely parked for quick getaway! Take care gorgeous couple! 💜💙
Thanks so much Pamela. Appreciate the fact dropping, so interesting isn't it!
Greece and Bulgaria seem to have issues with harassing campers. Maybe it depends on the area of the country. Their aggressiveness would be how violent drug addicts would act. My instinct would be to fight, but not wise to step out. You handled it perfectly.
Thanks Jane ❤️
Hope you 2 are alright sending hugs ❤️
Thanks Judith ❤️❤️❤️
Drone shots are incredible. Go South for sure. Runnnnnn hahahaha 😆
Well done on your run. You did a run..Well done.
You are absolutely correct. The thieves planned bodily harm. Stay safe both.
Thanks Deb ❤️ all proud of myself doing that measly run! First steps haha
Pleased that you are both safe....love, James xx
Thanks James 🥰
Frightening out there at times, stay strong, sending love, videos are brilliant, Paul & Jacqui
Thanks so much guys ❤️❤️💪💪
You absolutely did the right by not opening up and driving away to another location. Sending you guys positive vibes from South Africa. ❤
Thankyou so much ❤️💪
You guys did amazing! The world can be a dangerous place, it's how you handle it that matters and you guys did great, taking no sh**. Big inspiration.
❤️❤️ thankyou
Stunning video and OMG the drone footage ❤The audacity of someone trying your door while you’re in the van is very disturbing, thank goodness you had your wits about you and you’re safe! Take care and enjoy the rest of your trip
Thanks so much Bridget ❤️❤️
Well done on handling that dicey situation. You did exactly the right thing.
Great video and enjoy the rest if Greece 🇬🇷👍💙❤️
Thanks so much 🥰🥰 Greece is honestly so great. I think we are maybe taking it a bit too slowly haha. We need to be back in UK soon and we are just chilling, it's just so lovely here
Stay safe both of you. You absolutely did the right thing by driving away 🙏💗
Thanks Lynn ❤️
Wow what an awesome place, never seen anything like that, beautiful !
Oh guys what a horrible experience, that could of been a lot worse. Getting out of there quick was definitely the right decision, most people would have done the same, including us. You never know how many of them where out there.
Safe travels 😍
Ps. The drone shots where epic 😁
Yessss the drone shots were so dreamy, meteora is awesome ❤️❤️
Hope you guys recover from your shock asap. I really enjoy your visit.
Thanks John ❤️❤️
Omg guys, I’m so sorry this happened to you, don’t let those b*****d’s get you down! You cheer me up every week & I’m gutted for you that someone has tried to do that but they didn’t get in because you kept level headed & got out of there, take that away with you that they couldn’t fool you!
They weren’t locals, my cousin has lived in Greece for a long time & says that it foreigners of Greece from all different countries that do this & that you need to report it to the local police!
Hope you guys are ok, love & look after each other. ❤️
Thanks Laura 🥰 yeah definitely wasn't a local. Greek people seem wonderful and welcoming so far, very beautiful country ❤️
We’re so happy you both are safe , we love you guys, sending love from Wales and Ireland x
Thanks so much guys ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyed your video. Love the banter between you. Sorry you had to deal with an attempted break in. We haven’t experienced that but it must be scary.
Thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say. We've had far too many attempted break ins lol. First year we lived in London in the van it was practically a weekly occurrence, but this was the first time we've ever had someone that didn't run away once they realised we were inside. It really is a horrible feeling, I hope you never experience it ❤️💪
Aww guys so sorry that happened to you. How frightening!! Stay safe .
Thanks Melissa ❤️❤️❤️
you poor darlings, my heart was racing, very scary, keep safe its good there are two of you, proud of you both xx lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks my love ❤️❤️
Glad you're both ok and definitely did the right thing by moving on.
Don't let them win! Enjoy your travels and most of all keep the craic going. The drone shots were fab. Looking forward to next week 😃
Thanks so much Janet ❤️❤️
So glad you got away safely!!! That was such a close call. Stay safe.
Thankyou ❤️❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about the break in. Can I suggest you get someone to do an energy clearing on your van. It would make good viewing content at the extremes you would go to to get over this but it will also work.
P.s. love your pj shirt. I still think you need to have a pj sales line 🤣😱 bless and stay safe. 😘
Love from Australia- I’m also travelling Aust
Thanks so much Ranee. PJ sales line sounds fun! One day we will have to have pyjama merch lol
Great escape! So sorry you had to experience that. How awful! Loving what you do, though and looking forward to better nights and warmer weather - right!? :)
Warmer weather better be coming our way soon!! Every night with the hot water bottle right now lmao
So sorry to see what happened to you both. Stay safe 🙏🏻❤️😘
Thanks Melissa 🥰🥰
So sorry to see your potential break in. You must be well pissed off and so unlucky. Take care and keep up the great vlogs. ❤👍
Thanks Dianne ❤️❤️
Ohhhhh no! So glad you guys are alright. Good job getting out of there.
Lovely footage of Greece! That place is on our list now :).
Thanks Alysha ❤️❤️🇬🇷🇬🇷 Greece is so beautiful
Hi Keely & Phil,
I love watching your videos. And Keely cracks me up.
I was wondering what app you used to find camps, when you were here in Australia? Cheers Karren 😊
Wikicamps and campedia ❤️❤️
So sorry that happened to you guys especially after all that you've been through. So glad that you guys are ok!
Thanks so much Christa ❤️❤️
Well that was a bad shake-up for you two. At least you knew what to do, don't let them in and drive off. This is a good teaching video for others on the road. Love that you went to Meteora, I so loved it there, want to go back again some day. Your cookies looked good Keely, I love when they are gooey and soft like that. I'm with you Philly, put all the layers on and get under the covers when it's cold. Thanks for another great video, sending good vibes and love your way. Till next time.....
Thanks so much 🥰🥰 Meteora is so awesome isn't it. Thanks for the good vibes and love ❤️
Wow!! A bit of a shocker, that one. Still you handled the attack really well and went on to have a good week notwithstanding. Loved the climbing clip, well filmed and great editing throughout. Forgot to ask, did you see the snow in Japan after you left? It went really wild, you were lucky with your timing. Press on guys, keep safe. 👋
Yeah it got really bad blizzards after we left. Crazy weather. Such a magical country. Really hope we get to go back some day!
Some evil bastards about ... don't let it spoil your lifestyle...✌🤘
Thanks Terry ❤️❤️
Love the colours Mandy and your knobs😂. Your personality is coming out in your design. Looking forward to see what comes next. Yeh MOT first time. Take care x
I presume this comment was meant for the very lovely Mandy ❤️ she's doing so well on her build isn't she!
You poor pets but everything is now OK and bless you your safe and sound
Thanks Veronica 🥰🥰
Greece looks amazing! So sorry you had that scary experience though. Hope everything goes smoothly for you from here on out.
Thanks Emily ❤️❤️
You guys seem to have the luck... So glad you're safe and well done not opening the van up. That's unbelievable that they continued trying after knowing there was at least 1 person inside. Stay safe.... love your videos.
Thanks so much Jason!! We do have crap luck haha. Thanks for the love
I recently came across your channel and love all the beautiful places you both share with all of us! You both are so funny and make me have a good laugh.🙂 I am sorry you both had to go through the attempted break-in. I am so glad you are both safe! Thanks for all your hard work. God bless!❤
Aww thanks Maria 🥰🥰 so glad you found our Channel. God Bless you too 🙏🙏
Amazing drone footage. So glad you’re okay -that must have been terrifying. Hopefully you’ve found some sun and a hot spring. Stay safe
Thanks Marilynne ❤️❤️ it's still Baltic, but we are heading south in search of that hotter weather haha
Hi guys you did the right thing it must be hard especially after the break in too Meteora was awsome and great drone shots, try and put it behind you and move on Onwards
Thanks so much. Meteora really was awesome ❤️ so impressive
Thinking of you guys. It must have really shaken you up. Proud of the way you handled a frightening situation. Sending good vibes your way.
Thankyou for the good vibes 🥰🥰🥰
What a crazy and scary situation, glad you’re both ok though. Wishing you safe onwards travels 💛
Thanks guys ❤️❤️
Well done for not panicking when they tried to break in. The mountain's with church's built on top fantastic hope you're staying safe keep having fun traveling 😀
Thanks Andrew ❤️❤️ Meteora was incredible 🥰
So glad you guys are safe.
Thankyou ❤️❤️
Ohh i'm sad for you that this happened to you again!! I hope you have great safe trafel experiences from now On. Love your video's.
Thankyou ❤️❤️
What an absolutely magical place.. And the drone shots are amazing. I was totally committed to getting there one day - and still will. But DANG !!! I'm so so SO saddened by the attempted break-in! what the F!??!! Just really horrible! You are right - there are SO many wonderful people all over the world.. and then the freakin' bleep bleeps!!! So glad you kept your wits about you and did not open the door... really good lesson! it would be a mistake I could see me and my hubs doing.. just open the door to see who was there. Yes.. best to just drive away. Thats the benefit of having our homes ready to roll. God bless you both - keep on trucking and thanks again for taking us to wonderful places!
Thanks so much Kathi 🥰🥰 you will love it in person! And yeah sucks about the bleep bleeps haha.
The first time I did travel years ago, I had two medium size dogs, once whilst looking out the window, a man seemed to be coming straight for my van...my two dogs barked ferociously and he darted away. But it still left me shook. Now I am beginning another long adventure in a Toyota Sienna with no dogs (They passed during covid)and I have to say it is a different kind of travel. I have a walking stick that has a taser on the end and I periodically practice. It is right next to me for quick access. The FIRST action will be to drive away. Your action was the best choice. Also, such amazing footage you shared with us. Really enjoyed that.
Yeah I think driving away is always the best choice if possible. Sorry to hear about your dogs passing, hopefully no need implement any of your safety measures, but it's good to have some just incase
Massive kudos and praise for the way you handled that situation. As you've discovered, safety first, ask questions later. Mega love to you both, and hope you're still exploring the wonders that Greece has to offer - dont let one rotten apple put you off, the barrel is FULL of deliciousness 😂 Here's to a quieter and more restful week ahead! ❤
Thanks so much ❤️ yeah looking forward to some deliciousness this week! Greece is awesome, I know this isn't a reflection of the country.
Love is beautiful and you both have it.🥰
Aw thanks Brian ❤️
Thought the way you handled the situation was impressive. On screen you seemed very calm but I can tell it got to you - because it's probably the thing we all dread happening the most.
Remember 99.9% of people are good and kind, and try not to dwell on what that person's intentions were.
Sending love and hugs.
X
Thanks so much Cat ❤️❤️ so true about the 99.9% good I do really believe that
OMG guys 🤬😠 I'm shaking and angry just watching this video. You guys did the right thing, but please don't let it spoil your journey. You guys are absolutely amazing. Obviously, take some time to heal, but remember you are warriors and won't let opportunists ruin it for you. Sending huge love ❤️
Thanks Michelle ❤️💪❤️💪
Oh you poor things! So sorry to hear about the crazy people trying to break in your home. Be careful dear ones.
Thanks Sandra ❤️❤️
Hopr you both are ok! Another brilliant video guys ❤️❤️🚐🚐 xx
Thanks so much ❤️❤️ we are all good, just had a bit of a slow week after that
@@phillyandkeely 👍👍👍👍👍
❣️❣️❣️love you guys. So glad u didn't let them twats into the van. Can't imagine what could have went down if you did xoxox
Love u too xx
OH MY LORD 😮!!! what a traumatic experience. So glad you listened to your instincts and not open. So happy you are safe, but the nerve of these people. Scary. I am so so sorry for you.
I got back from work once and my patio door had been shattered and they stole a lot. It took me a few days to feel safe in my house that had been “violated”. I can’t imagine how I woul’ve felt if I was inside when it happened.
I hope you guys will find a way to recover from this. You are strong together as a team ❤. I really hope you will feel better and safer everyday.
Sending loads of love and positive vibes your way 😊
Oh and yes ! The drones shot are amazing.
Thanks so much my love, we appreciate all the good vibes 🥰🥰
Hi guys great to see your both relatively ok . Don’t let it ruined your amazing travels keep positive your doing great . Wow Greece is amazing can’t wait for the next vlog . God bless you both . Steve b U.K. 👍
Thanks Steve ❤️❤️ Greece really is stunning 🥰🥰
That was a horrible situation for you to be in but you handled it incredibly well. Before that awful incident - oh wow! What a stunning place that was. I only just found your channel and have subscribed immediately, I look forward to seeing more of your adventures and hope every day of them is a good one for you. 🙂
Wow thankyou so much 🥰🥰 appreciate your empathy and kind words. Thanks for joining us ❤️❤️
I'm so sorry that this happened to you after being robbed and then the fire. It's crazy isn't it? May God watch over you two and hold you in the palm of his hand. 🙏🙏
Thanks so much Patti 🥰🥰🙏🙏
Would bright outside light help so you can light up the whole area around your van?they might feel a bit to much exposed in the light and leave,hope you both keep safe 👍
That's what we were thinkin, maybe add a giant light bar to flood them with light. Think we will look into that when back in the UK.
Bless you Hope you r OK please stay save . But don't let um get you down. Have thought of fitting camera s to your van .love your vids. Stay save be save.
Thanks Anthony. We have CCTV inside, but definitely think we would add external one in the future.
So glad you guys escaped something that could have been really horrible - you did the right thing, made lots of noise an drove off! Your experience has brought forward my plans to install large flood lights on all four sides of the van that can be turned on when in bed which will hopefully deter would be break ins. Chins up guys, just a blip - don’t let it ruin your time in Greece xx
Thanks Mike, yeah we think installing big blinding lights outside the van will be one of our first installs when we get back to the UK!
I am so proud of you both ❤💓💛.... 🙏🙂🦋 ....aah youth, how much I miss mine.
I'm a 56 year-old lady living vicariously through you.... you are doing things I always hoped to do and may never be able to, Bless you both!!
I'm living in my van in northern Wisconsin and I really can't travel very far but you have captured SO much Beauty that is absolutely Beyond Heavenly and I love so much watching your Channel ❤❤ you have captured Beauty I never knew existed on this Earth.
Thankyou so much for your kind words Raven ❤️❤️ if we ever make it to America maybe our paths will cross in Wisconsin 🥰🥰 I'm sure there is so much beauty to see
@@phillyandkeely absolutely! And I also think you would have so much fun here in Wisconsin at a place called " House on the Rock " ..... you have to see it and experience it to believe it it's great fun ! 👍✌🙂
Great drone footage of Meteora. Sorry for the attempted robbery. Stay safe
Thanks Helen ❤️❤️
