    Great vlog we love the l'île de Rey, you certainly picked one of the busiest bank holiday weekends. The L'île d'oleron is a little less touristy and just as beautiful especially when you go up to the very top of the island, brilliant for cycling and walking. As usual avoid July and August 😊

    Hi Slaws, I know you are on your holibobs in France but after following your WAW trip last year we have hired a camper van and doing the trail. We are taking our dog and thinking of going for the EU passport but wondered how as Ballymena is in NI they issued your EU pet passports as I thought they had to be issued by European vets. Also will you have to get the rabies booster when you are on one of your European trips. Loving your France vids and having visited all the places you have been so far brought back great memories of many trips with our dogs in our old caravan. Shout our to Mr Slaw as well for all his great van tips are you ex forces Slaw seems pretty handy to have around. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and sorry for interrupting. 🌻☀️

    • @TheSlawsAdventures
      @TheSlawsAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Hi Margaret, NI retains EU rights under the protocol, so they can legitimately issue EU pet passports. We’ve used them twice now to Rotterdam and Calais with no problems. Jessie had her booster in the Netherlands and Billy will have his done on a European trip when it’s due. Glad you’re enjoying the trip and I hope you have a great time on the WAW 🚍☀️
