- This Kerala travel vlog starts off to be a complete nightmare as we try to go to Varkala for a short break
After all the trouble, we finally got to embrace Varkala which is an extraordinary little beach town in India.

Our overall plan in India is to travel via rickshaw/tuk tuk from the South to North (if it's possible?) The next leg of our journey is to travel all the way through Kerala, and then a bit more of Tamil Nadu before reach Karnataka
Here is the link for Ganesh Homestay, we really enjoyed our stay there g.co/kgs/M5i8iS
WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 8PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time
We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van conversion for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

I Miss you
jatayu was Vulture* not eagle
Dont miss to visit meditation at Heartfulness institute at kanha shantivanam 24 kms south of hyderabad airport.
Thank you I am A 75 yo with mobility issues sitting in the foothills of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica WI, enjoying a tour of India through your eyes and learning a lot. Thank you . Keep doing what you doing . Lots of Love and Blessings.
@@celiabooth3224 Thank you. Stay well and enjoy the tour.
Both of you be safe and smiling. Love from Kerala. ❤❤❤
India is like marmite, you either love it or loathe it, I'm from the love it gang and once you realise you can't make plans in India you have to go with the flo. Keep positive and love life to the max 🙏
very true, but I found this is a daily occurrence. one day love,one day aggghh!!
The paperwork just for stopping one night in a guest house is like writing the phone book, and 25 years ago when we only had travellers cheques was a days mission. But it's all part of the story.
Goa is Western prices be warned. If you go to Subway you pay Western prices. Book in at The Briganza Hotel in Goa , thats reasonable for Goa. Or see Nadim the Taxi driver , his brother has Beach Chalets , but they are usually booked up in Season.
@@xvsupremacy7190 absolutely, goa is a Portuguese colony and its like a completely different country to the rest of India. I'm much happier in the smaller villages of India especially the north.
@@billywoolgar4511 goa is not a portugese colony .which part is a colony and which is not is a very sensitive topic .goa was a portugese colony
India continues to amaze me! I am beyond happy for you both! No matter the bumps in the road, your positive attitudes shine tbrough! I'm loving your adventures! You're doing a fine job of promoting India Tourism. I hope to go one day. In the meantime I will live vicariously through you two lovely people! Safe travels!
Thanks for saying so, we love that you are loving our videos 🙏
You welcome
Great experience thanks for sharing you two! ❤
Liam’s getting better at the monologues now, more focused! Great tale of the ups and downs of Indian life with Pete, as ever fantastic edit with spectacular pictures. The content is really getting so good now, can’t wait to tune in again, love you guys.
Cheers Vic the Vegan ✌️
I love you guys. Your attitude to adversity is spot on. 👌 I hope things go more smoothly from now on. 🙏
💓
Beautiful, magnificent, stunning. I cannot wait to go ñ India myself 🙏🏻❤️ Wonderful India - Please don't go changing!
🙏🇮🇳✨️
You welcome
Immigration bruv for sure fought with his wife that morning, needed to flex elsewhere ! :D:D
But honestly that's unheard of and kudos to you folks for treating him seriously and being so patient. Kerala is a beautiful place! Enjoy!!
Thank you, good theory! It was strange how it happened, so you could be right ✅️
Gorgeous town...loving following your adventure..
Thanks for watching!
Love you both...happiness to you bothxx
Love the way you two stay so positive. Love the video. Stay safe ❤️👍
What a nightmare with the accommodation, so glad it all worked out well! I'd have been in heaven in thst cute little spot with the vegan restaurant nearby. Reminded me of Byron Bay. So glad you got to experience sound healing, it's my favourite sort of relaxation. Lots do it here in the UK as well when you get back. The eagle was incredible. Hope the next bit of your journey is more drama free.
Nice video... Keep going
Another fab video ❤ can’t get enough of your travels, thanks you guys and stay safe xx
Wow I never knew I’d been so desperate to see the worlds largest bird statue until today, it is stunning and loved the sentiments behind it. Thanks again you gorgeous hippies xxx
Awesome! Loved the sculpture!
Glad it all worked out in the end for you guys. As always, thank you for the upload x
A winning episode, as always! It actually brought tears to my eyes seeing that jatayu’s monument was dedicated to the safety and honor of women. That made me go and read more about the statue, and it turns out that the chap that abducted Sita gave her one year to decide if she would take him as her husband, and if not he would chop her up and eat her for breakfast 😳😳😳 Spoilt for choice that gal was. I loved the sound healing experience, and how it affected you both differently! Thank you as always for taking us with you. Stay safe 💗
Totally spoilt for choice haha
So great to watch as you’re having so many different experiences! Enjoy your stay in your new bungalow. Looking forward to the next one❤
Phew...definitely a vid of two halves! Fascinating how things repaired themselves...clearly you got your mojo back...with or without blocked chakras!
That was another fantastic video , the music therapy I would so be up for that, and the room is beautiful 😍, I hope you both get some chill time ❤
Look forward to your videos and lovely to see your subs going up!
Thanks so much!
Those Happy Days varkala beach nice video. Continue travel, God bless.😍❤️👌👍
Thank you so much 👍
It had happened to me too before when I had booked online. So now I always make sure to check the reviews to see of anyone else got their booking cancelled or rejected. Also in Agoda do not book hotels with ratings below 3.7 or 3.5
Fantastic tip thank you 😁
Loving your adventures! Stay safe. Peace ‘n’ love X
Wow another beautiful vlog. You are both seeing such lovely places . Thank goodness you found the lovely place to sleep in the end after your awful long driving day.
Take care both of you . X
Another brilliant travelogue from you both, keep moving and keep safe. This is something you both will never ever forget - for all the right reasons. Love it xx
Thank you! Will do!
Another video love watching all the different places you travel to.
Really appreciate you tuning in
Lovely!
Such an educational and interesting vlog! Love it! Keep safe and enjoy your travels! 🛺🇬🇧🇮🇳
Thank you! Will do!
Well that was an experience of good coming from bad for sure! To meet up with Kerry again was a great bonus and having such an amazing place to stay after all the hassle... great. Happy you saw the eagle statue too. Appreciate the imfo you give us about the places you see (and the work you put into producing such fine videos with great accompanying music. Cath tried sound therapy but not in India which she believes would be more fulfilling as it wasnt the best experience. Happy travelling Happy days! 🙏✌️
Glad you got your accommodation sorted, that bungalow looked lovely. The huge bird sculpture is amazing, thanks for telling us about it 😀👍
I love watching you navigate around India and seeing your wounderful adventures, Im at that stage where I cant wait for Sundays to catch your next video, awesome guys keep it up.
FROM A DISASTER TO BLISS ❤YOU BOTH DESERVE IT RELAX CHILL LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER ❤LOVING SHARING YOUR INDIAN EXPERIENCE ❤
That Varkala beach looks amazing guys!
It's really nice, although very touristy
Good day, beautiful people. Every cloud has a silver lining - and you found yours in the mayhem of the tourist hotspot. You guys always finish up smiling. Good for you, and thanks once again for another great vlog.
Thank you once again for an intriguing fascinating inspiring beautiful and learning. (sound healing). Journey 🙏✌️🖖👍
💓💓✌️
Absolutely brilliant 👌
I am a 40 year old indian, Love your work/travel/channel. You two are just amazing.
Thank you so much 💓
I would have been terrified of the authorities! Well done for keeping cool. That little bungalow looks beautiful. Excellent for a self-catering holiday. Shame about the drone footage though.
Thank you for another superb video.
Love the videos guys. Watch/look forward to every one. Thanks 🤙
PleSure 💓✌️
Always interesting, it's amazing how you turn a annoying situation into a positive one. Thank you 😊
Alchemy
Another lifelong experience, which you've captured perfectly.👌❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Hello from Rhodes Greece 🥰 , oh my goodness what an adventure. I am happy that in the end everything worked out 😊 ok. Bless you both 💖!!! Love you so much.Hugs and kisses. Oh I forgot to mention Janine the story with the bird , you said it so nicely my dear beautiful young lady.😘
I recently started to watch your video and already addicted to your channel😊 what an amazing tour and so beautiful places you have shown in your tour even been Indian I did not know such places d exist. Good luck to you guys your doing amazing things❤
Your videos fill me with joy. Thank you X
You are so welcome!
Great video as ever guys thank you very much
Our pleasure!
As always - wonderful video, thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for watching
From an old hippy I would have loved to have come shopping with you Janine. As a crystal healer, just give me the nod and I’ll clear your chakras distantly for you. Fabulous touring around India from the comfort of my chair. Sometimes it catches my emotions. Maybe in a past life that’s where I was 💕
Hi, I just have to say I'm enjoying every step of the way with you both in India I thank you very much for that, my father spent some time there when he was in the navy and always said the Indians were very welcoming lovely people my home as a child was full or bits and pieces that was brought back from their. Enjoy every minute of your trip life is not a rehearsal. Peace and happiness ✌🙂 stay safe 🙏 look forward to next one x
Just another wonderful blog ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Hey ! hey ! YAY ! it's the big hippies !! (plural)🤯🥳😎bit of a palaver starting out 🤨🙄some people ?? ☯anyway that was freaking magical with great drone shots...love that story at the end 🦅best way to start a Sunday be cool you rock !!!!💗🕊🙏
Another brilliant & amazing episode!! 🙏👌🤗
Thanks again!
Thank goodness all ironed out in the end you guys. That’s an amazing sculpture and amazing to have such a sacred space to honour women. Stay safe. 👏🏻🌈👏🏻
The nicest and best value places I stayed were often recommendations made by rickshaw drivers. It's possible they made a small commission, but even if they did it was never noticeable. There's lots of places in India and indeed the world that still don't rely on Internet bookings, presumably if they're offering good accommodation at a good price they don't have to.
What an amazing video. Some very artistic editing
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Loved the video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love watching your videos. I always think because of your positive vibes your fortunes turn around quite quickly and happy to see everything ended well. The majority of Indians you have met seem lovely and welcoming too. Safe and happy travels, looking forward to the next instalment
The majority, you are right, have been incredible 💯🙏
This video evokes such a wide range of emotions!❤️
That's india for you
Awesome video 👌 I could feel the stress of not being able to get accommodation 😩 glad it turned out in the end. Thanks for the journey I'm loving it 🙌❤️
Thanks for watching!
Love your video so refreshing.
Thank you so much!
Another awesome episode. I guess the immigration guy will be binge watching your channel and telling everyone about meeting you! Sound therapy is amazing. I understand what you mean by the vibrations being felt in all your cells.
Haha yeah he probably will
Isn't Karma wonderful! When you have a terrible day, you appreciate all the good that comes after. Great that you mentioned that it wasn't the accommodation hosts at fault, but the money grabbing website owners. I think I could do with some sound therapy to calm my racing mind. Janine: your drone footage is so beautiful; I feel like I am there with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Stay safe and happy travels xx
Thank you Lorraine, totally worth checking out the sound therapy, was very good
Hello 🤗 Great video . Nice to see you guys . Which places would you be travelling to in Karnataka?
I seriously never take notice of the way videos are made but ur editing janine is on point great content n brilliantly made love u guys stay safe much love from London xx
Really enjoying your videos Liam and Janine! We're off to India in a few days and were quite apprehensive about it, but you've calmed our fears.
Just go and have fun! Where are you off?
@@ThoseHappyDays We're flying to New Delhi and then doing the Golden Triangle. We're both 75 so doing it with a bit of luxury!
@@stephensyrup2962 no no no dont go to delhi that is the worst place
please if you are reading it please change your plans and try going down south first. delhi tests the patience of even indians
but if your plans cannot be changed please dont stay in paharganj or connaught place these places are know for foreign tourists being target of scams so you can stay in south delhi . i just want you to have a great experience in india
So glad everything turned out for the better, amazing place, hope you're coping with the heat 😎
It's definitely getting hotter
Enthralled with this Indian leg of your journey. Awesome.
🙏🇮🇳✌️
Super vlog as always. You guys are simply adding to my bucket list every week!
Thanks man
Thanks for this latest episode! Loved the Eagle story. Jannine - did you finally buy the things to need to fix your chakra's? Let us know how you get on!
Hi guys. Just finished the India series in a single binge of 3 hours. Loved it ❤️ Amazing videos. Very wholesome. Keep going. Kinda sad that now that I've reached the end of latest upload, I'll have to wait for every upload.
Also, I've also had an issue with Agoda once for a booking. Also, Ironical that I got a Agoda Ad on this video, lol 😂.
Another great video - your positivity is infectious
Thanks so much! Hope you are having a fab weekend
Another wonderful vlog 💗💙🎉 was worried over the stoppage of customs for you, thank goodness sorted. Beautiful accommodation well deserved after such a time trying to get a room!!! The eagle is stunning & the meaning behind it 🕊💕 tally ho & safe travels xxx
🐦 🦜 🦚 🪶 🦢 🇮🇳💓
I've always wanted to try sound therapy, what a place to try it for the first time ☯️🙏❤️ and what a fantastic statue! Wish we had more things like that in the uk 🦅❤️ thank you for all your hard work to bring us your amazing videos 😘
Thanks so much for watching 👀
Loving your videos/travel experiences!!! Amazing. ⚡️The bowl vibes plus your shining personalities sent good energy waves out and brought the accommodations to you like a magnet ❤ Enjoy!
Many blessings to you both on your travels 🙏🏼🪅💫🪩

Nice video.as always... About your Varkala experience we truly are ashamed at the way some people treat our tourists. If we could apologize to you on their insane behaviour. I am from that place but now living in Bangalore I as a local even have faced that kind of experience a lot in Varkala. Salute your positivity and optimism. Keep going on and good luck with your remaining stay in India. 🙏
