So lovely to hear you both talk about other people's channels and take advice or note from what they do. So much 'it's all about me' out there it's refreshing to hear. Great to keep up with you all - hoping to follow in your footsteps in the not too distant future. Big love! C
I was so proud of Martha, I actually cried when she passed her mark 2. Mitch has been an absolute legend in supporting her and getting her used to being off road. ❤
I started inviting my liveaboard neighbors, for breakfast & TBT video. We spend at least an hour per video because of loud laughter and then an hour discussing switching to vanlife 😂 Thanks for lots of fun & inspiration! With love from breakfastclub Norway 🥰
Old proverb say, " A Jess without food have bigger hump than a camel. " And so it came to pass. So glad we are back to showcasing plant again. That mixer would fit in your garage. Think of all the hard standing you could lay. Ooooh. Excellent. Happy travels 👍
I know this may sound over the top for some,. But your vids bring OG TopGear vibes., the humour, quality info, banter, John's no filter thoughts, the narration, everything. Lol. Seriously, of all the "cutie calm" vanlife UA-camrs,. You two are a breath of fresh air.
I for one will never be offended by anything you do or say..this weeks film was absolutely amazing..top class filming,top class humour.loved every minute of it. Just take care both of you..David
When we went to India we were warned that we would come up against the same quandary about children begging for money or sweets. One of the things we were told was that if we gave them anything they would get robbed by the bigger children. So before we went we made a donation to a children's school in the area we were visiting. Mainly to salve our consciences. We did give out loads of pencils to the children we met as well though. They really did value those.
My husband watches you and told me to watch you too…..OMG you two are us! We did Morocco 10 years back and like you Jess I could have rung my husbands neck several times … ! we slept in a tent but there were times I slept in the vehicle for my sanity 😂 anyway we had a great time and I would definitely do it again. The most frightening bit was with the children just running out in front of the vehicle and if we stopped for a break they would suddenly appear,it’s hard not to be giving to them but we were told not to😢 Enjoy your travels in Morocco ❤
😂😂😂😂 I’d love to know if much is changed in 10 years, that’s one thing that fascinates me about travel, I always thing it would of been better in some ways, apart from not having all the mod cons that is 😂😂
@truebluetravellers we were touring Morocco for a month (May) with a Off Road expedition company,there was a itinerary to stick to. The men loved it obviously while it was a great experience for the wives/girlfriends it would have been good to visit touristy places,I remember us having a half day tour of Fez which really wasn't enough time. But like I said it was Off Road and a bloke thing to do. Good experience but we would definitely do it again on our own. It was a good drive through the Atlas mountains, which was a true experience and visiting Todgra (might have spelt that wrong). Don't get me started on the Donkeys I wanted to adopt them all. Can't say we experience anything bad everyone we came across were super friendly. Looking forward to watching your next instalment. x
Love you two never change, the people who are offended can always turn off its not a crime to be offended, great video as always sone epic off-roading the buggies looked so cool
Wow that is some sandstorm - quite an experience. Exciting and scary and the same time. And amazingly the Sahara Desert sand arrives here in the French Alps via the Föhn wind - turning the sky a dull grey yellow colour. Jon - I love the way you are so honest and verbalise your thoughts - made me laugh out loud - but Jess you are so patient. You are truly a fantastic Yin and Yang team! And Jess - I hope your ankle is on the mend.
We were travelling in a Moroccan rental car when we where there so we were less hassled while driving. When out and about however we were. Since we were travelling with our own two young children we usually had things like crackers and salty snacks with us and when we had enough (and not too many kids were around) we would hand out those. So no sweets since we didn't have that for our own kids either, but they were still gratefull. Other things they asked us for was pens and paracetamol and a couple of times shoes from our kids (I had my youngest on my back in a wrap and they would point to his shoes claiming he didn't use them anyway)
That’s interesting that you didn’t have an issue in a local car. We noticed that shoes would have been a good thing to be able to give away too but so hard to be able to carry them 💙
Hello my dears. You'll find this difficult to believe but I only came across True Blue Travellers yesterday, and I have already binge watched the whole Sainsbury's van series, as well as the stay in Spain (which is incidentally where I live). Congrats on the quality of your content, the humorous bantering, and the filming. Now picking up on the Morocco trip. On the subject of which: at Easter I was there on a Suzuki V-Strom 650 together with 12 more people on various bikes; I mentioned to one of them how I had completely forgotten to bring sweets for the children who line the roads (friends in Spain had commented that it would be a nice idea) and I could see the suggestion got a pretty poor reception. Well, she explained to me that as there is no decent national health system or dental care program in Morocco for the children I had done well not to bring them that stuff - "just look at the state of the teeth in some of these twenty to thirty-year olds!", she said:"Justin, next time you come, bring them writing implements, odds and ends to help them study, and other useful items but NO sweet foodstuffs!" I think she was right. Thought you might like to hear this.
Instructions are just 'suggestions' 🤣 My missus is the same...always right...well that's what I always tell her. This made my Saturday. You're such a great couple, you keep it real, no drama, great 'drone' shots and you give top tips! Who knew there were so many types of tap connectors?
All that sand was crazy and glad you are both safe, no ducks hurt in the video😂 Beautiful country and good you found a none pushy person, maybe save a log for them when you stop. Thought Jess was going to bury you in the desert for a minute
Honestly, in this day and age, if you breathe in the wrong way you can offend someone!! You two are brilliant! You just carry on being you; anyone claims to be offended - that's a them problem, not you! Jon cracks me up, but I'm surprised he doesn't have more bruise more of the time!! People have said before, and I agree, there are definite OG Top Gear vibes from your adventures, and THAT is why people love watching your channel and your travels - a GENUINE breath of fresh air. Remember... You can't please all of the people, all of the time. Know your audience. And your audience loves what you do, so keep doing it!!
Thanks very much mate, love seeing comments like this as it keeps us on track to just be ourselves and carry on enjoying the banter, thanks for the comment mate it’s much appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I rolled my ankle years ago since then it keeps happening. The only fix is to strengthen it. standing on that foot and putting the other leg out forward back left and right and balancing or exercice band and pushing the foot forward back left and right using the band to add resistance. Apparently you have to do this for a long time to get the strength back but you probably already knew this
Can’t beat a nice new bit of plant that we don’t get over here. Jon you never critiqued the grout when you were give us your handy tip on water filling adapters. I thought it was a bit shoddy from where you put us if I am honest, bits missing, point bits in other places. The place looks amazing. We used to hear of similar experiences out in Bosnia with Kids after sweets from lads out on Patrol. Never came across it myself, but then we didn’t leave camp that often and if going on Patrol was if you fancied a different experience whilst on tour. Most didn’t and you had to be based with Infantry or Armoured regiments within your camp to do so. I would love to go back out there some 27 years on from my first visit to see how much Croatia and Bosnia has changed and been rebuilt from how it was from my time out there. Another very enjoyable video.
😂😂cheers mate, the sand storm must of had me dazed as I didn’t even notice 😂, Croatia is amazing but not camper friendly at all really for wild camping, but Bosnia is amazing but another one of those places which is amazing to see but u can still see the war after affects 💙
Before I go to Morocco I always buy a catering pack of boiled sweets, then remove the wrappers and spend hours re-wrapping small stones and throw handfuls out the window as I drive past. If I have time I will stop just so I can see the disappointment on their little faces. You can get hours of fun from one bag and ..Bonus.. lots of sweets waiting for you at home.
Apologies for not responding sooner, been a busy day, photographing a wedding, and just came in the door, shattered and exhausted, but just watched my sandy Saturday sparkle, thank you, and never pick a fight with a duck, it could be mall hard, or old bill.
Another great episode and you used one of my dad's sayings, apart from you missed abit out. "Up there for thinking, down there for dancing and in the middle for, well we don't talk about that one 😂 not heard anyone say it before
If anyone is offended by you it's very easy, just don't watch again but don't spoil our fun. As much as it's great to see your travels and the ingenuity of your builds, it's even more epic listening to your banter. Keep on enjoying yourselves and entertaining us please, you are the highlight of my week. Cheers, Poth.
FYI - John, you are correct on your assumption that the concrete from the mobile mixers pours into the bucket…… but even more impressive, is that they can load the mixer with the front loading bucket. So in countries rich in sand/ gravel they can load the material that they dig up and add cement and water. I very economical and environmentally friendly system. Keep up the great videos- Disco Dan
I love it when you guys keep it real.... Not like other UA-camrs who pretend that their relationships are all Moonlight and Rose's! With you two, Jess is the Rose and Jon likes to 'Moon' us 😂 Keep up the good work 👏🏼
I’m going to live vicariously through you two, because all I see with that desert and sunshine is epic sunburns. I don’t think even SPF 50+ would keep me from turning into a lobster.
I’m sure you’ll have a great solution already, but we used to run a battery isolator switch (from rallying) on more ‘vulnerable’ cars - find a hidden spot and, when you’ve taken the key out, it’s very difficult for anyone to work out why they can’t start the car from the steering column wiring..! Ps Glad you survived the sand!
You'd struggle to get stuck in a Defender! I used to teach soldiers cross country driving in the LandRover Wolf, a version of the Defender, and it's really difficult to get them stuck but only as long as you know how to use the gears and diff lock in high and low ratios. Add a winch and various other traction aids and you're laughing. It's no wonder LandRovers constantly do well in the Camel Trophy competition, they are the best X-Country vehicles ever created. As far as giving the kids sweets, it will only encourage them to do it more and there may be a time it puts them and you in a dangerous situation. Had exactly the same driving through Kenya, they almost blockade the road or get too close to the moving vehicle for it to be safe for the vehicle or the child. Even had some try to break into the external storage lockers whilst the others were asking for sweets!
Absolutely amazing again ❤ Images are awesome, storytelling the best, never ever offensive, really impressed with the hose clips 😊 I too cried when Martha passed, we are all attracted to similar people. What a great little community you have built ❤ Love my Saturday mornings. When hubbies off work we watch together at breakfast but if his on shift, I have to wait to the evening to watch your video together 😂
I dare say it will have quite allot of building work go on round there too now, I couldn’t believe how new and flash some of the places were like the port
Best Joey Diaz was when he had a shite up the side of the posh neighbour's house. The neighbour was asking Joey's missus if she knew anything about this horrendous shite up the side of her house and Joey's in the background blaming the neighbour's dog... lol
I wasn't being sarcastic about the drone shots. I can honestly say I've never seen Jon jump so deep into a bush as much as he did with his drone. Now thats what I call bush jumping dedication😉😂😂 Another brilliant episode, but sand storm scary/white knuckle ride😬 Glad you found somewhere safe to stay in the end & so glad you've got each other.....bickering is all part of the fun guys.....I think🤔🤷♀️ Have fun & safe travels until next time 🤪😘
As you travel, Morocco looks beautiful and as you guys shared with typical African mentality or behaviour. Our rule. You don't give as this makes the problem bigger. Rather support the local little shop or trader. Money well spent to feeding his or her family. Not to sure about Jon's noddles. We rather always pre freeze meals or cook and freeze on route for those late days. Great clip.
What's "darta"?......On the shower thing, a good one is a bit of malt loaf rolled up to look like a log - when the malt loaf absorbs the water it looks horribly life like.
So we were worried about theft when we took our T5 to Spain last year. We ended up getting Deadlocks fitted from EdLocks and can't recommend them enough. Even let you pay 5 months interest free which is a scheme they run so builders can secure their vans without a huge initial outlay. Top guys.
Morning you 2 hey Jon hope Jess don’t mistake that log for a bar of soap 😂😂😂😂😂 you are a nutter mate great vlog as always love you 2 you are hilarious on a Saturday morning stay safe ❤👍
i think its the same with all countries, there are always some people that give places a bad name, but in most cases the majority of people are in fact very friendly and genuine..another top video guys keep it up..
Morning guys, great video this week. You make my Saturday mornings. 👍🏼 Jess, I do feel sorry for you sometimes, but John is so funny😂😂😂. Stay safe, look forward to next week. ❤
Loving the coverage and as a photographer I can appreciate all the hard work and effort that has gone into your videos. We will be on our way to Morocco in e weeks time. Judging by your videos… can’t wait !🥰👍
Welcome to Morocco, I just discovered your channel, I followed other one "Away with the Steiners " coming from New-zealand with two nice kids who making too the Moroccan Tour, I noticed that the Moroccan sellers really liked the two children in giving them Moroccan cakes for free as a welcoming gift; in your case I see that 2-3 dollars of chocolates and candies in your vehicle will do well for these children well isolated in miserable conditions... Do feel free to do it... Good luck... **I am Moroccan and when we visit places out of town we always bring small cakes for these children and families......**
Boy humour Jess, they never grow out of it, my other half is in his fifties and still thinks it's funny to do the 'pull my finger' thing when he farts !!
& in next weeks episode Jess the true blue traveller driving through morocco in the F1 landrover and John exiled to Canada with the rest of the loggers lol.
We had the same problem while trekking in Nepal.. Someone suggested buying a pack of cheap toothbrushes to hand out to the kids, so that they had something to clean their teeth with after all the sweets 🤔 🚐💨❤
A shout out to the two locals for there You Tube appearance. How fortunate to find a safe place to stay in the storm. Jon really has a fascination for toilet routines 😅. Thanks for the laughs, stay safe and have a great week.
Super vid again guys. Glad you show the good things as well as the bad stuff, the scary stuff and the things to avoid. I'm sure you'll have your own 'wish you were here' type show on mainstream TV one day. Well done again... T
You have both caused a lot of conversation in our house as we talk about what vehicle you are buying. Please don’t disappoint me by saying it’s a Sprinter or similar 🙃
Morocco looks amazing, along with northern Sahara. The buggy in the dunes is a cool adventure. Last time I went in one of these I rolled it shame it was in a flat field in devon😂 Look forward to next week's offerings
What an amazing place Morocco is! Love the chemistry between you 2, I really don’t know how you cope Jess. 😜 that sandstorm looked scary, glad you got through it ok. That unfinished mountain pass reminded me of another travellers video where they actually rolled their motor home just by clipping a boulder on the track. Stay safe guys and thanks for another great start to the weekend
How can people be so up set over a little bit of joking around ? Here in the U.S.A. that’s just good old fun , and your videos are tame . Your videos are always great fun , and filled with so much enjoyable content . As well as great traveling hacks like the water hook up adapter ,Awesome . Cheers to another beautiful video. Thanks again from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🍻👍🏼😁
Really great installment. You must spend so much time editing content because the videos are brilliant. I have now got my son hooked after going back over your playlist to watch the defender build. He's insisting we start from the beginning now to see how it all came about lol. That's this week's telly sorted. And curious to know where you live because you mentioned Norfolk and that's where we live so may see the defender on the road at some point. The sandstorm looked scary but glad you are both OK. Looking forward to next week's video. Stay safe x
guys you are just so awesome, informative and great fun, John's sense of humour is just like mine hopefully we will get to meet you one day. keep it up
Hello BOTH, what a varied video, sunshine and snow, apart from a stand storm!! Liked the simple "water tap adapter" very good! The conversation with the nice "locals" was entertaining!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Loving your Morocco trip! I can remember as far back as 1986 and driving through Kenya on Safari and hoards of children always calling out ‘Shillingi’ as we passed in hope of a spare shilling being given to them. I think it’s a perpetual habit and if you choose to offer a sweet or coins it’s your choice and either way, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it 👍🏼

Look on the bright side Jess .You will never have to wonder .What is John thinking ? Because he has NO filter ,everything just rolls out.
😂😂😂😂 give me strength hey 🤦♀️
At last, the first van life vid that shows a decent hose connection set-up. Simple. Thanks John.
Cheers mate 👍👍👍
How can anybody be offended by you two. You are with all your hilarious travels what in my younger years I would want to be. Utterly brilliant.
Thanks very much mate 😊👍
Because some people live to be offended, and usually are keyboard warriors. Stuff em I say!
@@jonathansmith5850 defo mate 👍
It’s absolutely mental to hear you guys mention us in the video haha😂 appreciate the support & glad we could keep you company during the storm🤪❤️
😂😂 thanks guys, looking forward to watching your adventures 💙
Hopefully you didn’t took the bikes out today in Peaks 😂 was bloody windy here today 💨💨💨💨
So lovely to hear you both talk about other people's channels and take advice or note from what they do. So much 'it's all about me' out there it's refreshing to hear.
Great to keep up with you all - hoping to follow in your footsteps in the not too distant future. Big love! C
I was so proud of Martha, I actually cried when she passed her mark 2. Mitch has been an absolute legend in supporting her and getting her used to being off road.
❤
Yep she did great, looking forward to seeing there adventures 💙
@@truebluetravellers oh for sure me too 🤭 going to be amazing at watching Martha grow and shine with confidence 🤗🙏
I started inviting my liveaboard neighbors, for breakfast & TBT video. We spend at least an hour per video because of loud laughter and then an hour discussing switching to vanlife 😂 Thanks for lots of fun & inspiration! With love from breakfastclub Norway 🥰

Old proverb say, " A Jess without food have bigger hump than a camel. " And so it came to pass.
So glad we are back to showcasing plant again. That mixer would fit in your garage. Think of all the hard standing you could lay. Ooooh.
Excellent.
Happy travels 👍
😂😂😂😂 I could get rid of all my gravel 😂👍
I know this may sound over the top for some,. But your vids bring OG TopGear vibes., the humour, quality info, banter, John's no filter thoughts, the narration, everything. Lol. Seriously, of all the "cutie calm" vanlife UA-camrs,. You two are a breath of fresh air.
Ah thanks very much I’ll take that compliment all day long 😂😂 made my day 😂👍👍👍👍
Just saying hello from Hollywood, FL- USA . I saw your husband with the Miami Beach shirt and laughed. You guys are living the dream. Have fun.
😂😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍👍
I for one will never be offended by anything you do or say..this weeks film was absolutely amazing..top class filming,top class humour.loved every minute of it. Just take care both of you..David
Thanks so much David, so glad you enjoyed it 💙💙💙

Yeah a few have asked for pens and I think that’s definitely a great thing to give out
gotta say, you two are quickly becoming my favorite 'toobers.
Thanks very much 😊
Thanks
This is so generous of you Karen, thanks ever so much. We really appreciate it 💙💙
Johnny! An actual Top Tip! Well done on the hose fittings 😂
😂😂 thanks mate 👍
22:34 the missing brownie face is priceless 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 she was not happy 😂😂
This my Saturday Breakfast routine! Love your posts, looking forward to next Saturdays !☺
Thanks mate 😊👍
I'm genuinely impressed with your bag of hose fittings.
😂😂thanks 👍👍
My husband watches you and told me to watch you too…..OMG you two are us! We did Morocco 10 years back and like you Jess I could have rung my husbands neck several times … ! we slept in a tent but there were times I slept in the vehicle for my sanity 😂 anyway we had a great time and I would definitely do it again.

So in countries rich in sand/ gravel they can load the material that they dig up and add cement and water. I very economical and environmentally friendly system.

Pmsl, this is so funny, 😂😂😂 thanks Diane 😂
HI from Northern Ireland safe travels
Thanks very much 😊
I’m going to live vicariously through you two, because all I see with that desert and sunshine is epic sunburns. I don’t think even SPF 50+ would keep me from turning into a lobster.
😂😂 we did get a bit pink yesterday to be fair as it was +37’c 🥵
I’m sure you’ll have a great solution already, but we used to run a battery isolator switch (from rallying) on more ‘vulnerable’ cars - find a hidden spot and, when you’ve taken the key out, it’s very difficult for anyone to work out why they can’t start the car from the steering column wiring..! Ps Glad you survived the sand!
Brilliant idea that one 😉, 👍👍
You'd struggle to get stuck in a Defender! I used to teach soldiers cross country driving in the LandRover Wolf, a version of the Defender, and it's really difficult to get them stuck but only as long as you know how to use the gears and diff lock in high and low ratios. Add a winch and various other traction aids and you're laughing. It's no wonder LandRovers constantly do well in the Camel Trophy competition, they are the best X-Country vehicles ever created. As far as giving the kids sweets, it will only encourage them to do it more and there may be a time it puts them and you in a dangerous situation. Had exactly the same driving through Kenya, they almost blockade the road or get too close to the moving vehicle for it to be safe for the vehicle or the child. Even had some try to break into the external storage lockers whilst the others were asking for sweets!
Mental hey, and I think it’s getting worse too
Thank goodness you came through the sandstorm unscathed. Good advice with the travel insurance, it’s absolutely essential. Enjoy your adventures 💯
Thanks very much, it was a bit tense but also fun 😊
@@truebluetravellers You’re very welcome. I can only imagine 🤗
Absolutely amazing again ❤
Images are awesome, storytelling the best, never ever offensive, really impressed with the hose clips 😊
I too cried when Martha passed, we are all attracted to similar people. What a great little community you have built ❤
Love my Saturday mornings. When hubbies off work we watch together at breakfast but if his on shift, I have to wait to the evening to watch your video together 😂
😂😂😂 thanks for the support guys, it’s funny how we all seem to like similar channels hey 😊💙
Love the video!!! Safe travels from the little blue defender 90 Thetford
Thanks mate, hope ur still getting some lanes in👌👍
@@truebluetravellers Oh Yes, was in Thetford last weekend, two days on the lanes and camped near mildenhall. Your trucks looking great!!
@@MrPubman84 cheers mate 👌👍👍
Yeah. the garages are getting good. On the road from Marrakech to Ourika there are about 10 garages and most offer very good food.
I dare say it will have quite allot of building work go on round there too now, I couldn’t believe how new and flash some of the places were like the port
Best Joey Diaz was when he had a shite up the side of the posh neighbour's house. The neighbour was asking Joey's missus if she knew anything about this horrendous shite up the side of her house and Joey's in the background blaming the neighbour's dog... lol
😂😂😂😂😂 pmsl
I wasn't being sarcastic about the drone shots. I can honestly say I've never seen Jon jump so deep into a bush as much as he did with his drone. Now thats what I call bush jumping dedication😉😂😂
Another brilliant episode, but sand storm scary/white knuckle ride😬 Glad you found somewhere safe to stay in the end & so glad you've got each other.....bickering is all part of the fun guys.....I think🤔🤷♀️ Have fun & safe travels until next time 🤪😘
😂😂😂 yep it’s all just a laugh, we actually do t argue that much really, just banter between us both, 😊💙
Hello suffean, thanks for keeping our friends safe for the night 😊 xxx
Great video guys xx
Thanks he was a diamond 💙
I just love you guys commentary - shows the good side of travelling and some of the real? Side behind the camera 😊
Thanks very much mate 👍
As you travel, Morocco looks beautiful and as you guys shared with typical African mentality or behaviour. Our rule. You don't give as this makes the problem bigger. Rather support the local little shop or trader. Money well spent to feeding his or her family.
Not to sure about Jon's noddles. We rather always pre freeze meals or cook and freeze on route for those late days.
Great clip.
That’s a very good point 👍
What's "darta"?......On the shower thing, a good one is a bit of malt loaf rolled up to look like a log - when the malt loaf absorbs the water it looks horribly life like.
😂😂😂 I’ll give that a go, she won’t be happy
Just watch Groundhog Day !
So we were worried about theft when we took our T5 to Spain last year. We ended up getting Deadlocks fitted from EdLocks and can't recommend them enough. Even let you pay 5 months interest free which is a scheme they run so builders can secure their vans without a huge initial outlay. Top guys.
Thanks for the recommendation I’ll check them out 👍👍
Morning you 2 hey Jon hope Jess don’t mistake that log for a bar of soap 😂😂😂😂😂 you are a nutter mate great vlog as always love you 2 you are hilarious on a Saturday morning stay safe ❤👍
😂😂😂😂 pmsl, thanks mate 👍
Or a chocolate brownie 😳
i think its the same with all countries, there are always some people that give places a bad name, but in most cases the majority of people are in fact very friendly and genuine..another top video guys keep it up..
100 percent, just like every country in the world hey and it’s just luck of the draw who u meet hey 👍
Jess don't you dare hurt the legend John. Another good video. Hopefully see you both next week ❤😂
😂😂😂😂 he’s gonna get a 💪🤛🤜 soon 😂💙
Morning guys, great video this week. You make my Saturday mornings. 👍🏼
Jess, I do feel sorry for you sometimes, but John is so funny😂😂😂. Stay safe, look forward to next week. ❤
😂😂😂 thanks very much 😊💙
Loving the coverage and as a photographer I can appreciate all the hard work and effort that has gone into your videos. We will be on our way to Morocco in e weeks time. Judging by your videos… can’t wait !🥰👍
Thanks very much guys, can’t wait to hear what you think when you get here 😊
So funny, the two of you! So entertaining to watch your videos Have a great week and keep safe! Love and hugs from Johannesburg 😂❤
Thanks very much Sharon, hope you have a good one too 😊💙
You two should be on mainstream tv. Brilliant look forward to every eposode
Ah thanks very much 😊
Welcome to Morocco, I just discovered your channel, I followed other one "Away with the Steiners
" coming from New-zealand with two nice kids who making too the Moroccan Tour, I noticed that the Moroccan sellers really liked the two children in giving them Moroccan cakes for free as a welcoming gift; in your case I see that 2-3 dollars of chocolates and candies in your vehicle will do well for these children well isolated in miserable conditions... Do feel free to do it... Good luck...
**I am Moroccan and when we visit places out of town we always bring small cakes for these children and families......**
Thanks very much for the local insight, really appreciate it 💙
Another amazing blog and adventure, thanks for sharing with us! Love the way the roads are still in better condition than the UK. 😂
😂😂😂 I know it’s so funny hey 🤦♂️😂
Boy humour Jess, they never grow out of it, my other half is in his fifties and still thinks it's funny to do the 'pull my finger' thing when he farts !!
😂😂😂 I’ve got that to look forward to then Lindz 🤦♀️😂
Great adventure guys , love the buggy
Need to get that Landy into some tough 4x4 action .
Aus
Aus
Definitely need to find some more 4x4 tracks 👌👍👍
Have you thought of getting a pair of 2 way radios? Would save having to shout.
Brilliant idea this, we need to get some 👌
I have just started watching you both. I love the chemistry and the things you cover. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for giving us a go, so glad you enjoyed it 💙
Some great videos going through the gorge. Keep driving safely.....and Jess, stock up on biscuits!😊 See you next weekend 👋
😂😂 thanks mate I need to with him 😊
& in next weeks episode Jess the true blue traveller driving through morocco in the F1 landrover and John exiled to Canada with the rest of the loggers lol.
😂😂😂😂 your not far off I recon
We had the same problem while trekking in Nepal..
Someone suggested buying a pack of cheap toothbrushes to hand out to the kids, so that they had something to clean their teeth with after all the sweets 🤔
🚐💨❤
😂😂 that’s a very sensible way to look at it really hey
My Saturday morning routine now… coffee then true blue ✌🏼 good work
Thanks 😊💙
A shout out to the two locals for there You Tube appearance. How fortunate to find a safe place to stay in the storm. Jon really has a fascination for toilet routines 😅. Thanks for the laughs, stay safe and have a great week.
😂😂😂 I think his main fascination is to see how to press my buttons 😂🤦♀️
This is a fab video, truly fun in the sand Jess and Jon ❤💙
Thanks mate 😊💙
A outback hack is put an old sock over your snorkel tip it will stop sand getting down your hole.
Great tip that 👌
Maybe consider a pre cleaner head for the top of the snorkel. Will catch sand and dust before even reaching the filter.
Yep I need one mate for sure
Super vid again guys. Glad you show the good things as well as the bad stuff, the scary stuff and the things to avoid. I'm sure you'll have your own 'wish you were here' type show on mainstream TV one day. Well done again... T
As always Terry thanks for your lovely comment 😊💙
did spend 6 months in Morroco traveling and decades later my biggest sorrow is I never went to Sahara.....it looks like a real andventure ....
Yeah we wish we had spent a bit longer there too 👍👍
14:29 All the way from Knorr-way
😂😂😂😂😂 I didn’t even notice this 😂😂👍
Another great start too the weekend 😊 scenery looks breathtaking and looks like your both having a great time paul
Thanks Paul, it’s been great so far 😊
You have both caused a lot of conversation in our house as we talk about what vehicle you are buying. Please don’t disappoint me by saying it’s a Sprinter or similar 🙃
😂😂😂😂 I can tell u it’s not a sprinter 😂👍😊😊
Wohoo, new episode and F1 qualifying
Wasn’t much difference with Jess driving 😂
@@truebluetravellers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Morocco looks amazing, along with northern Sahara. The buggy in the dunes is a cool adventure. Last time I went in one of these I rolled it shame it was in a flat field in devon😂 Look forward to next week's offerings
😂😂😂 oh dear, sound like fun tho
@@truebluetravellers stag do, drinking and off road buggy don't mix😆
@@martinpboon 😂😂😂
Great deal on the igogni thanks! Old Noah was a great fella! He reminded me of Aladdin
😂😂😂😂 I said the same thing 😂
Awsome Video! I always look forward to watching you guys every week but this week you excelled yourselves 🙂
Thanks very much mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍
Wonderful every time. I could watch you two all day 😍
Thanks very much 💙
The sand storm looked crazy❤ great vlog from you both 😊
One of the wildest things I’ve ever seen, thanks very much 💙
What an amazing place Morocco is! Love the chemistry between you 2, I really don’t know how you cope Jess. 😜 that sandstorm looked scary, glad you got through it ok. That unfinished mountain pass reminded me of another travellers video where they actually rolled their motor home just by clipping a boulder on the track. Stay safe guys and thanks for another great start to the weekend
Yeah I saw that on Facebook, the 4x4 sprinter, then wasn’t insured, crazy hey
How can people be so up set over a little bit of joking around ? Here in the U.S.A. that’s just good old fun , and your videos are tame . Your videos are always great fun , and filled with so much enjoyable content . As well as great traveling hacks like the water hook up adapter ,Awesome . Cheers to another beautiful video. Thanks again from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🍻👍🏼😁
Thanks mate, I think now days some people just take things far too seriously, life’s too short hey mate 👍👍
Another great video,Jess,you deserve a medal,lol xxx
😂😂😂 thanks Nicola, I know he’s a nightmare 🤦♀️😂
Jon: re the toilet in shower; buy one of those look alike chocolates. Shhhh! 😱🙈🙉🙏👍🏻🦘
😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Really great installment. You must spend so much time editing content because the videos are brilliant. I have now got my son hooked after going back over your playlist to watch the defender build. He's insisting we start from the beginning now to see how it all came about lol. That's this week's telly sorted. And curious to know where you live because you mentioned Norfolk and that's where we live so may see the defender on the road at some point. The sandstorm looked scary but glad you are both OK. Looking forward to next week's video. Stay safe x
😂😂 thanks very much Lynn, your son sounds like a legend, we don’t live too far from your name Lynn 😂😊
Thats the town where I work lol. I will have to keep my eyes peeled lol
Great ideea with the “log” in the shower, my girlfriend does the same thing all the time! 🤬😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😂
guys you are just so awesome, informative and great fun, John's sense of humour is just like mine hopefully we will get to meet you one day. keep it up
😂😂 thanks very much guys, hopefully our paths cross in the future 😊👍
Love you guys! Nuts the pair of you, but so amazing to watch. 🧡🧡
😂😂😂 thanks mate 😊💙
Love you guys ❤❤
Thanks Susan 💙💙
If you need to dispose of a log maybe go the waffle stomp
😂😂😂😂 pmsl
Hello BOTH, what a varied video, sunshine and snow, apart from a stand storm!! Liked the simple "water tap adapter" very good! The conversation with the nice "locals" was entertaining!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Thanks John, hope you have a lovely weekend 😊
Loving your Morocco trip! I can remember as far back as 1986 and driving through Kenya on Safari and hoards of children always calling out ‘Shillingi’ as we passed in hope of a spare shilling being given to them. I think it’s a perpetual habit and if you choose to offer a sweet or coins it’s your choice and either way, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it 👍🏼
Yeah I agree mate it’s just really hard to see hey 👍
I was offended that I wasn't offended this week. Lift you game!!
😂😂😂😂 can’t be having that hey mate 😂👍
