That Van is WAY Too Close! (Would You Say Something?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 бер 2024
- We're staying at a Camping Car Park at Remoulins in the south of France. A motorhome squeezes in beside us but we don't let that get to us and instead set out to explore the old town and the historic bridges, but then we come to one that may be a bit much for Tricia to get to the top.
Another great video. Weather looks better there than wet n windy UK !
Thanks, well the weather here has been changeable that's for sure, but definitely better than what you've been having back home.
If I knew someone was going to park so close, I might have staked out my plot by putting out table and chairs. Great video thank you for sharing.
Hi we had our chairs at the back of the van so we could look over towards the village. Glad you enjoyed our video.
The Romans certainly were fabulous engineers, that Aqueduct is awesome even though so many years have gone by... thank you so much for sharing your adventures in the new motor home !! Keep safe...
Hi Diana, they were incredible engineers. We are glad you are enjoying our adventures with us.😃
Those Romans were some clever devil's, that Aqueduct is very impressive. Looks like the weather is being kind to you ☀️
Best wishes, Si 👍 🐸
Hi Si, the weather has been varied depending on where we have been but really enjoying our travels.😀
Regarding the Camping Carpark, after the massive surge in Motorhome and Campervan use in France and Spain this last couple of years I can see pitch spaces made a little less generous in size in some of the carparks, it's the only way that the increased demand be catered for.
Yes I agree, some of the older ones have individual bays, but the newer ones are more like an open car park and could more easily be changed.
So thrilling to see the Pont du Gard - what astonishing architecture and engineering . Thanks for another great video
Hi Vanessa, yes the aquaduct was very impressive amazing what they could build. Glad you enjoyed the video😃
Great video today. So much history in that part of France. I went to the aqueduct in 2022 and was amazed at the sheer size of it! Thanks for sharing. Safe traveling. Cheers
Hi Beth, we thought it was incredible. Love France for the history.
Another great history lesson. Thanks guys x
Hi thanks for your comments glad you enjoyed the video.😃
Ooooh! That is a spectacular viaduct. The Romans were amazing engineers and living in a roman occupied area there is so much evidence of this here in N Yorks. Thank you for taking us along. Regarding the camping car park, unfortunately there are always those who will ignore the rules. Hey ho ! Looking forward to your next installment. Happy travels 😊
Hi Jane, so far that has been the only incident of someone not following the guidelines set out by Camping Car Park. So glad you are enjoying the videos😀
Wow how fantastic is that aquaduct! Thanks so much for sharing 👍
Hi, yeah the aquaduct was incredible. Glad you enjoyed seeing it.😃
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland. Happy Woofs to Keira from Fafik and Tina.
Another lovely video. Beautiful camera work and excellent commentary. What a sight those bridges were. The aquaduct was fabulous. I hope the van shake down is going OK and that you have not found any problems that cannot be fixed.
Hi Michael, greetings from France. Keira sends bone wishes to Fafik and Tina. Thank you for your lovely comments the aquaduct was amazing. Van is fabulous and no problems yet (touch wood🪵)
That viaduct is an amazing piece of engineering. Was over in France with my girlfriend touring on the motorbike. Although we were there to tour the D Day beaches and war memorials. Would love to head back just to see more of the cultural side of it. Only slightly disappointed that you didn't woo Tricia with your Scottish French accent, 😀😀 👍👍
Hi Bobby, it has been fabulous not using the toll roads and going through the French villages. The viaduct was amazing. Saving the Scottish French accent for when the camera stops rolling.😉
Hi Tricia, Mike and the dug, fantastic viaduct, as for the close parked van I would have been the same. No point getting annoyed if you're not there for ages. I did the same on my way home pulling my caravan. It was a soaking wet site in the lake District and I struggled to get in the site. The place was a bog so I went between two vans. I went and apologised to my neighbours and said I would be going in the morning.
Hi Colin yeah we were on holiday and the van was gone the next day.
Fantastic views, thought outside furniture isn't allowed on parking aires, presuming it's ok in your van space, a shame someone chose to double park, but you handled it well, then moved on at leisure 😀 The Pont du Gard is amazing architecture and engineering, thanks for sharing 😀🚐❤️
At ordinary municipal aires furniture isn't (usually) allowed but at commercial aires like Camping-Car Parks you are effectively at a campsite where you can spread out over your marked pitch.
Thanks Janet, glad you liked the video. Agree with the other comment, the camping car parks are charged for and you can put furniture out in your own space. Aires are free and you can't put anything out.
Love your vids . Great aerial shots
Hi thanks for your comment so glad you are enjoying our videos we love being able to get Midge up to get those aerial shots.
Well done. Your usual high standard!
Hi George, thanks for you comment so glad you are enjoying our videos
Very professional travel vlog, hope you are enjoying your new van.
Hi thank you so much for your comments. We are really enjoying our new van
Hari OM
It's hard to think of any modern construction that could equal (or last like) such an amazing feature! Your climb paid off with fantastic views... Keep smiling! YAM xx
Aye it was a bridge too for Tricia, but not for me 👍💕🐾
No , I would have said nothing. Great Aqueduct, amazing how they managed to build things like this ( nay risk assessments then) many thanks for sharing ATB
Hi John, no definitely no health and safety. Glad you are enjoying our videos
Great video guys, love all the info about the area. Stunning architecture. Also love the patients about the late entry park up! Personally for me the tyres would have been down when I left 😂 just like the old days going to the football before seated stadium, you get a great spot then just before kick off someone stands right in front of you!!! Looking forward to the next one. A say hi.
🤣 thanks James, aye the roman aqueduct was quite something to see. If that other van had been on the other side of our van, they would have received some nice Scottish commentary from us 🤣
Glad your continuing to enjoy your adventures. The 'Bridge To Far' analogy made me chuckle, just wrong Country! 'Utrinque Paratus' as they would have said on the actual bridge! Hope the Swift Carrera is living up to both of your expectations. Roman engineering is always a marvel, just a shame it is in France!
Hi we are both loving the van lots of space for us and fur baby. Would definitely have said that they would have been ready for anything on that bridge.😉
Wow that’s an impressive aquaduct ….. looks like the parkups are working well for you both ( apart from those that squeeze in )
Hi you two, the aquaduct was incredible. The camping car parks are really good, when people adhere to the markings on the ground😂
Really enjoying your videos 😊
Hi Anna, thank you for your comment we are so glad you are enjoying our videos😀
My favourite travellers hope you're all well safe travels guys hello Kiera ❤
Hi Mike, thank you so much we are all well and enjoying our travels. Keira says woof back🐕🦺
Hi Mike and Tricia, another great video and so very interesting.. couldn’t believe it when you said that the aquaduct was Roman! Thought it was only a few hundred years old at most, truly spectacular, thank you for sharing. Couldn’t help but notice, it looks like you have new covers on your chairs which look great, can I be very rude and ask where you got them please. Happy motoring.
Hi Ken, thanks, yesthe aqueduct was just stunning. The seat covers are from motorhomeseatcovers.co.uk
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot hi Mike and Tricia, thanks very much for replying, I’ll take a look on the site later. Happy motoring.
HI Great content We were really impressed with your manner re the neighbouring van it is better sometimes to ignore people like this, what is the old saying the more You stand on something the broader it gets.
Hi John, yeah decided to rise above it as we are on holiday and chilled😎
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YO!!!😉
Did the van that squashed in steal your power ? Loving your videos cheers from New Zealand 😊
Hi Elizabeth, no there was another free plug for them to use. Thanks for watching so pleased you are enjoying watching us.😀
So the top level was for water? And the lower level a road?
Hi yes thats right but we think there was an add on at the lower level later.
Living in France I've realised us Brits are quite reserved in the main. If I'd have had someone push into the bay next to me, I would've had a good chunter to myself and not got involved. Hate confrontation/unpleasantness anyway.
But... in France, if a French person had been wronged in the same way then they'd be pretty direct and give you a piece of their mind. Perhaps I'm living in the wrong country...? Luckily for me, my wife is French. 😂
Hi agree Brits are reserved. Language is a barrier for us need to learn French if we are to go raj at someone.😂
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot My French isn't too bad, been here long enough so I have no excuse. But getting annoyed about something in French is something else. I can struggle with that. 😂
What did the Romans ever do for us we are in Scotland in our van and the weather is not quite what you are having 😳
Hi the aquaducts, the roads, sanitation, education and the wine🍷.
I think I would have moved from the park up, not sure I’d be brave enough to confront 🫣 That bridge was absolutely beautiful wasn’t it, quite something 😎 Thanks, Em 💜
Hi Em, as Tricia said they weren' t on our side of the door opening so we could close the blinds and ignore them.😃
