You've found a keeper there mate, Helen seems like great fun to be around 😀❤
She really is 😍
"We nearly got a taxi"...What!?? Call yer sen a Yorkshireman!....I love how James gave us a running commentry on what nearly every meal and / or round of drinks cost, Yorkshire battle cry 'How much?!!' But seriously, I subscribe to a fair few Van life / couple channels and with the greatest of respect to all those other channels, I can honestly say that you (James and Helen) have become my favourite UA-camrs by a country mile, you both feel like good friends I've never met, you're both just so down to earth and genuine, and I'm so pleased you both had such a great time on your well deserved holiday!...Here's to the next one!
Well said
Thank you so much, that is a lovely thing to say and really means a lot
@@bythecurb No problem mate, I meant every word!
Helen reminded me of my wife at the botanical gardens, reading everything in great detail and learning about it's history, I start to lose the will to live after about 15 minutes 🙄 I just wander around these places thinking about what I am having for dinner later and learn bugger all 🤔 Glad you both enjoyed your time is Spain, I did feel for you driving home in the pouring rain absolutely knackered mate. All the best, David
Thanks David, 😂😂 i've got a short attention span
And the merch ideas keep coming, another T-shirt with "Salut you plonker!"
😂😂
FOund you when the first benidorm video popped up, watched nearly all your stuff now and I'm loving it. Your quite original, your both so real n down to earth, dont have big egos and probs half the population would identify with you, we certainly do. Liverpool sends lots of 💘 love
Thank you so much ❤
Great vids of your trip ,my favourite youtubers
Helens compass work and directions are bang on🤣🤣...she couldn't find her arse with both hands.🤣🤣..looking forward to next vid 👍
Welcome back James and Helen…..that was a Chuffing grand finale to your little getaway trip.
Many thanks for the chuckles and 🎵🎵 and drinks 🍺 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
The sweat rags sound like a winner to me, I may need one.
They're the future!
Hi in 1973 that fish shop in Conisbrough was called the Star inn a pub just at the top of the hill was a Working mans club called Moana x
Thanks for that, we need to head back for a review
I don't know anybody else who's been to Elche, l've only been a few times because l discovered the cycle path from Alicante, lovely sleepy place is Elche. Alicante on the other hand is totally wonderful, long may the Beni crew keep missing it out. 😂
We absolutely love Elche, we joked that if we were rich we would buy a small apartment there
@@bythecurb l did too, Elche was a huge surprise to me and rentals are a lot cheaper than Alicante. I hope your channel gets you there. 🙂
i think travel trolls went there .
another great video guys love ya ❤
Brilliant video and once again we should get these 2 on tele!
Really happy to see you both smiling after getting a week together 😊
Thanks we had a great time
I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. I did the Spain/Benidorm thing years ago. I had a lovely day today, I walked over the Humber Bridge. 😁😆😂🤪🤨 ilona

How funny are you two 😅 Loved your holiday vlog, that cleaner on the bus was hilarious, especially when your bus was 45 mins late 😂 imagine that happening over here! Glad your home safe ❤😊
😂
Loved the Benidorm tour, great vids - get another trip booked in!
By 'eck lad, you two kill me!!!😂. Here's another merch idea - a black t shirt with the following - "➡️ This arrow is in Spanish!"
You're our ideas person. Head of merch!! 😂
Beauty and the very Grumpy Beast! 😉 Great trip Lmao, you 2 reliving your 20's.
P.s As for Merch, I think with the way the World is, the Under Boob Sweat might be a Winner? 🤔😂
😂😂 It could be!!
Glad you got back safe! Enjoyed watching your last day 🤗
Thank you 🙂
Its such a joy to watch your videos! You are both bonkers but in an ace way 🤣🤣
Thank you, we love being bonkers! 😂

Thanks so much 😊
Ugh back to the rain! Glad you both had a brilliant time 🎉😊
Yes! Thank you! Janet
I've really enjoyed this holiday vlog. I lived in Benidorm for a couple of years when I was in my 20's - I was one of those ticket touts you mentioned in your last one. I worked the infamous 'square' where all the club's were. Obviously it's changed a hell of a lot since I was there - the money was still pesatas then! I must admit I've not watched for a while but I'm so glad this came up in my feed! It reminded me of how much I like you two and with it being Benidorm too well that was the cherry on the cake! Thank you for an entertaining walk down memory lane, Salut! 🍻
You're welcome, glad you're back! 🙂
Always a bummer coming home and to weather like that☔️, but you enjoyed your selves while away and we enjoyed it too.👍thanks guys.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
🌺 You two crack me up! You are great to watch.. enjoy your travels 🌺
Thanks so much!
Reet enjoyed your Spanish vlogs, we always says we're gonna move there when we have to leave haha, our turn Sunday, off to melorca.
Great, have a wonderful time 🙂
It's much easier travelling with people who just go with the flow, who are actually interested in finding out about the places they visit, who encourage not mock you, and who don't panic when things go off-plan. Be kind to yourself, Helen, wishing you peace and joy 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🏵️💐
Helen is super chilled, I get a bit anxious though
@@bythecurb I agree, Helen is super chilled, that's what my original comment said ☺️
@@MillyWeeble I think you may have not yet realised why opposites attract.
People with different skills and qualities, complement each other.
If everyone went with the flow and chilled out, nothing would get done.
@@truthteller99999 That's such an uneducated, uninformed and outdated belief. Couples who thrive compliment each other. They certainly don't ridicule or undermine their partner's interests, especially those that bring them joy.
So very well done you 2, You Both deserve a Refresher.
Thank you 😊
Glad you had a good holiday ,I cant wait for you to doing a van up really looking forward to it it will be really interesting ange ,you both kept jolly special with delay in your flight ange
Thanks Ange, we're looking at some more vans next week
We think it's really amazing what your doing we love watching you park up somewhere and share your thoughts with us .
Thank you
The drama at then end was a nice touch 😅, we have all been there and the rain on they way home😥. Looking forward to you next adventure James and Helen. I'd love to see you two do a 2 or 3 week holiday video. It was great viewing thanks.😊
Thank you, glad you liked it, more holiday adventures coming up!
Welcome back to sunny blighty guys so glad you had a nice trip when's the next one ?

Thank you Tony, glad you like the videos
Love this vid guys. Really natural. You're great together. Hope you are planning your next trip already. 👍 Oh, and the beer thing....? We do exactly the same in Ireland, something the new influx of continental staff in recent years had to get used to!
Loved your holiday videos glad u made it home. Think you guys are brilliant together. Look forward to your next adventurex
Thanks so much! 😊
It was 45 degrees in Egypt on our holiday but we go for the sun it helps with my pain glad your having a lovely time 😊
Thank you 🙂
@@bythecurbI would love a shout out on your next vlog your such a piece of fresh air to watch down to earth which we love we haven’t been there ourselves we’re questioning it ❤
Lovely couple, great video as always. I don't know how you did it. That holiday would be pure torture to me in every way. You made the best of it. Change of scenery though I suppose!
We really like to mix things up
I just found you guys and absolutely love your vlogs … you so remind me of mine and my husbands relationship 😂 we’ve been married 49 years .. we were so lucky to have found each other in our teens .. you two were made for each other ❤️
That's so amazing! We think you are the very few. Thank god we found each other too. We saved the best till last 😊
Really loving you guys right now, your budget travel journeys are just so funny, your best video blogs yet. Keep up the good work you are smashing this end of the market ❤❤
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations on your 50k subscribers.... we really enjoy following you and Helen around the country and beyond, Sooz and I are going to Benidorm next month, we are definitely heading to the Old Town... thanks to you guys... 👏😎👍

Glad you had a great time - we have a place near Elche and like the town for a beer 🍺
You're so lucky, we loved it there
Nice place to eat 3:53 . 🥘🥘 The green olives must be tasty. I feel it. I am craving such olives right now.
We love olives
Oh guys another awesome video!! Glad you have had a top time. The taxi and bus drivers are nuts over there in my experience. Hate the journey back home! I just want to get back when I know I have to. Get the blues for at least a week (do not approach me) 😂 All the best …. Smithy
Thanks Smithy, I hate those 'coming home' blues. Gonna book another holiday 😂
@@bythecurb I need to get something sorted myself it’s been to long!! Take care both 👍

Hi guys brilliant Helen’s a feeder 😂
New to yr channel but really enjoying it thanx !
Thank you and welcome to the channel 😊
Do a long weekend in Benidorm! Trust me, your viewing count will be the highest ever! It has the most hits ❤
We noticed that our viewers have gone up! 🙂
glad u and Helen finally got home 😂😂
Good video! Thank you.
You two have saved me a fortune (which is handy, as I am broke :) )
They enlightening and I wish it many views.
As old as I am, I have not ventured over seas. Now, no need, at all.
After the ‘war’, is over, how about St. Petersburg? The history, culture and architecture, is fascinating. :)
That's a brilliant suggestion, we wanted to go to Russia before the war anyway. I'd happily go now, this war is nothing about the people just the ego maniacs at the top!
Cracking couple all the best to you both!%%
Algorithms ain't always a bad thing, great finding you's 2 tonight, keep us the good work..refreshing you tube channel, yous 2 bounce off each other so natural and made to go on to bigger things 🤝

So glad you had a great time. I’ve really enjoyed your Spanish Expedition 😂
I once drove from Heathrow to Yorkshire after flying back from Australia. I can’t sleep on aeroplanes and I’d been awake for about 48 hours. Never again. It was horrendous. I felt like a zombie. 😮
There's nothing worse!
Found your channel
Love your relationship
Completely relate to it !
Thank you, glad you like it 😊
