THIS PLACE IS POPULAR - HERE'S WHY! VAN LIFE IN EUROPE CONTINUES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- And we're back on the road! After last week's van repair worries, our campervan Daisy is fit and ready to take us on new adventures around Germany. This week, we head into Bavaria and discover a town that has a lot to live up to - but is its reputation deserved, or is it all hype? Spoiler alert: the thumbnail might give you an idea ;)
We also try baked goods called Schneeballen that the town is famous for, putting them to the taste test. Will Stephen's ever critical mind dig deep to find something positive? Or perhaps Dan ends up disappointed? Either way, join us as vanlife takes us to a place the likes of which we've never seen before as we delve into the streets and history of a town that was saved from destruction by someone drinking litres of wine (yes really). Sounds like the place for us! Oh yeah, we also indulge in Christmas in the middle of summer...gross!

Dan & Stephen
I can see why you loved that place. Simply gorgeous. 🚌❤️
Thanks ladies, it was a real must-see place and very easy to walk around in a day ❤️
I saw the Christmas museum and not the shop (apart from going through). Very interesting with antique decorations. And had beer in a very old restaurant. Felt like walking back in time hundreds of years. Very pretty town
Ah now maybe we should've done the museum too! We spent so long wandering the shop, I think by then we were ready to leave 😂 Yes it really is like stepping back centuries, it's so well preserved ❤
Beautiful and im so glad daisy's well 🎉😂
Thank you, it was a spectacular looking town and even better coming after Daisy being repaired 😍🙏
My suggestion for you: Fritzlar, one of the beautiful old cities if germany. Place to stay with your van: right at the former city ringwall. We loved it there❤
Thank you for that, wow a quick look and how beautiful does Fritzlar seem! Sadly that may have to be for another trip but I think we want to see Germany again anyway - too big to do in one go!
Beautiful place! Yes Dan I’m like Steve I don’t enjoy Christmas, all that fuss and money for what is just a day , keep safe you two xx
Thank you Lindsay 😊 ❤️ Haha he's a proper grinch about it but I don't blame him in some ways. I like the food, seeing family and having a few drinks but the pointless waste of throwaway tat and excessive present buying...definitely not!
Loved this video! :) It's the first video I watch of your travels.
Gosh, this town is so beautiful and magical. Really as if it jumped straight out of a Disney movie. Must be so lovely around Christmas time too.
Hello and welcome 👋 So pleased you stopped by to watch our video and glad you enjoyed it ❤️ It really was a Disney-like place. Definitely would love to see it at Christmas! Thanks for joining us on our travels 😍
Treating us to another video. Some very exciting viewing of the camera loved the views gorgeous as Normal esp the two hosts
Thank you very much Paul, we do appreciate your kind words, especially about the hosts 😉😍❤️
Great content guys, have just binge watched a few videos and love it. Germany is also my favourite, I had to return for a second time. Bavaria definitely the area that stole my heart as well. Refreshing to follow your journey, so looking forward to watching again.❤
Thank you so much ❤️ So pleased you're enjoying the videos and yes, we're in full agreement about Germany and Bavaria. Still so much to see!
I love your channel and you seem to have very funny personalities ❤️ Best wishes from Sweden 🇸🇪
Aww thank you very much, that's kind of you 😊 ❤️
"I can see those sweet boys, barely aged 19, move to Germany...... "
Nice video, guys! ❤
Now, if we could brush up on our German sharpish, we wouldn't mind living there, but the aged 19 bit might be a slight problem 😂
Thank you 😊 🙏
Great video again fellas, thank you. It brought back memories for me: when I was living in West Berlin, a German friend of mine was marrying an Austrian and they decided to get married in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and I was to be one of the witnesses for the civil ceremony (unfortunately I had too much to drink the night before and was “ill” the next day so they had to find a replacement witness 🙄) they had a service in the big church there the next day. A beautiful place. Safe travels.
Hi Irene, oh no, well I hope the pre-wedding drinks were fun at least 😂Did you get to see any of Rothenburg?! What a place to get married 😍
@@comealongdear oh yes, the pre-wedding drinks were delicious but dangerous (fruit wines and then champagne). I obviously did see something of the town - at least I have photos, but tbh. It was so long ago now, I can’t remember much 🙄
Haha well they sound like delicious drinks (if lethal) to us, and hopefully the video reminded you of some of the town 😄
@@comealongdear 👍😊
Hang on just going to make a coffee.... Putting you on pause.... Am back morning my lovelies ❤❤❤❤
Morning Susan! ❤️ Coffee sounds good right about now!
Nice weather, good commentary, lovely scenery. Thanks guys! Are you able to say yet when you'll be in Furtwangen please? Can't be long now by the sound of things. Please, please show lots of clocks: in museum there but also in the tourist shops, along with prices if at all possible. There are silly wee wall cuckoo clocks with just one weight, better ones with 2 weights that are either 30-hour or 8-day and then very large ones with 3 weights which are musical. If at all possible, can you ask shop keepers if they sell cuckoo-quail 8-day wall clocks? They tend to be just cuckoos and those with music, but ones with the quail call at each 1/4 hour appear to be very rare.
Hello there, and thank you! 😊❤️ I can assure you Furtwangen is coming up but it'll be a couple of weeks from now as we have a few more places before then. We can't promise we'll do everything but the clock museum is a definite 😁
@@comealongdear
Fabby, thanx. 💌
3 and a half litres...easy! That sounds like a normal Friday for me 🤣 Another great vlog and a town very similar to those in the Alsace region of France too.
I know right! That's an easy challenge if ever we heard one 🤔 😂 Thanks Jo, we've not been to Alsace but we've seen other people (maybe even yourself I can't remember now!) visit that region and Rothenburg is definitely in that style ❤️
That town is like someone's dream model railway town. No dramas this week, just a bit of housework. Time for disposable nickers? 🤪
Hi tomcat, it was lovely to just...enjoy things this week! Barely a moan, whinge, criticism or snark in sight this week 😯 No smile from Stephen though, so still some consistency 😉
Haha disposable knick-knacks would be most useful in the van, but probably not great for the environment and would just make us lazy 😂
😂🩲👙
@comealongdear 👅🩲👅
Hehehe you both are so funny in this video … arguing about evening being afternoon etc
Getting more subscribers means you are slower in liking comments hahahaha it’s okay …. People are getting famous!!! Woot woot
We'll argue about life's real problems, then have a bigger argument over a tin of soup...😂
@gl8282 Aaah sorry, we have been a bit lax this past week, but mostly due to zooming around so quickly we've been a bit distracted. We'll have to hire a PA 😂
@@comealongdear of course you need a PA … you guys are growing! Hahahaha but I am happy to see that. From 1K and now 2K+
Thank you ❤️
Great video as always guys. Gotta be honest though, not the biggest fan of chrimbo either. Used to go all out for the kids, but I can take it or leave it really. Cheers and all the best lads.
Thanks Gareth, yeah I think the older you get as well the less bothered you become about Christmas! I still enjoy it more than Stephen and force him to be a bit festive for 5 minutes on Christmas Day 😁
A small German tip for you: If the name ends in Burg(BORG) like BURY in English., it means castle. If it ends in Berg (BAIRG), it means hill or Mountain.
Oh we love these little facts! Thank you 😍 That's great to know, such a subtle but big difference. I didn't realise that with "bury" in the UK either so I'll be checking that every time we head to one 😁👍
Pretty much the same in Sweden. Berg=mountain/very tall hill 😂 and Borg=castle/fort.
Were so happy Daisy is back in tip top condition. Love your videos, your photography is beautiful and really captures what you are seeing. Thanks again for another great vlog. ❤xxx
Aww thank you guys, so so pleased you like the footage and how it's put together, if it manages to capture the places we're seeing and gets that across to some degree then I'm happy 😍 Some of those bits do take ages but I think I'm just slow and get distracted all the time!
Anyway take care both of you and hope you're well 💗 🤗
A beer then.cake your on point, lads, and what a wonderful place to enjoy a beer with beautiful weather,
then home for a shne ballan
Chew chew and chew some more 😅
The wall is absolutely so beautiful
Thank you for showing us all just amazing ❤yayy You got your washing done 😂 Have a blessed week, lovelies 💜💜
Custard desserts are best too.
Getting the washing done might have been the best bit because you're always glad when it's over 😂
We had a ball in Rothenberg though, and yes that wall was certainly something, it went on for absolutely ages compared to what we filmed! All free and open 24/7 too 😍
Beer and cake in succession is a..choice 😂 Schneeballen not for me I'm afraid, but they must be doing something right because everywhere sells them!
Thank you and you have a wonderful week too ❤️
What a lovely place, so glad you're enjoying your holiday.
Thank you, Rothenburg ob der Tauber was definitely a highlight of this trip 😍
A big hello from the Azores, Portugal. I just love you guys! Thank you for sharing love the videos!
Hello to you in the Azores! 😍 How we'd love to visit there (that prompted me to look to see if you could get a ferry and take our van, doesn't seem you can, but we'd still like to go one day). Thank you for your kind words, we're pleased you enjoy the videos 😍❤️
Morning well revolution laundry in UK I think is a scam cos it costs double to dry as it comes out wet because the spin is not 1400.
My van is back hooray finally just waiting for all clear to drive and then will be away travelling but still watching you.
Fantastic places you are taking us on really lovely keep up the good work and those hydrating beers.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh that's fantastic news, so pleased for you 😍 I bet that's such a relief (know the feeling 😉 but sounds like yours was considerably worse). I bet you can't wait to get back out there again.
Revolution you're lucky if you find a dryer even working! I think we'll stick to normal launderettes now, however tricky parking may get at times. Fact is doing the washing takes up the whole day in a van more or less so I suppose it doesn't matter where you do it 😂
And thank you, hydrating beers are essential as ever 😉
Beers oh yes. Launderettes are better. Enjoy your week look forward to seeing your video love to you both. Xx
jeez that old castle looks amazing
There are so many towers connecting the wall, it's really impressive!
Thanks for uploading this wonderful video Dan and Steve, it's such a beautiful place, Dan where are we going, we've lost the wall, I laughed out loud
Thank you Michael, pleased you enjoyed it 😍 Yes we manage to get lost even in a tiny town, ridiculous really, and where the wall went we never did figure out 😂
6 am is not even early evening.
This feels like a debate that will never reach a conclusion 😂
loved it as always guys thanks for recording...
Thank you Robert 😊
When does evening start? It depends. It used to refer to sundown, but with different time zones and climates, that no longer works.
Typically, afternoon is the time between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., and evening is the time between 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 or 9:00 p.m.
So, you're both right. :) But 6:00 pm is the most common, plus the evening news comes on then.
Pinocchio was set in an unspecified Tuscan village north of Florence.
Ah, doing laundry, a necessary evil. I have a small, portable washer in my little house, no dryer.
It can wash most things, except quilts or sleeping bags. I have to drive to a laundromat for those. To dry, I hang on hangers on a metal wardrobe stand with wheels and a top rack. For underwear and socks, I use a three bar towel holder. It works. I do have a clothesline in the back garden, but it's old and rusty, so I don't use it. I bought a retractable indoor/outdoor clothesline, but I haven't installed it in my kitchen yet. Too many other things that need done first.

Ah now the start of the evening news is possibly the best indication yet...except, it does depend what channel you're on 😉 I think 6 sounds about right though 😁
The joys of laundry and all the complications and contraptions that come with it, it's very much like a puzzle and it certainly sounds like yours is one with many pieces there! But we find a way to make it work don't we. On the worst days, washing is a nightmare...on good ones, it might even be therapeutic I'm told. We're yet to experience the latter strangely enough...!
Finally time for my new favourite lads! And what a place you took us to, thank you! ❤ It"s funny that we all think that these kinds of pretty places looks like a Disney movie, cause they found inspiration in actual (historical) places. So we think these places look "unreal". (When It"s art imitating life.) But to most of us I guess they are. Rare these days and so idyllic. If you liked this town you might like Visby on Gotland island in Sweden. Also medieval, a wall around it, listed ny Unesco and pretty houses, although not as colourful, but with lots of roses climbing on them. Love that place! I think with the hanseatic league they had a lot to do with the Germany of it's day. Take care you two and Daisy! 💕
Good evening! Always happy to be called someone's new favourite lads 😁 You're right, we forget these famous stories and fantasy locations are usually inspired by real things - see when we went to Stow-on-the-Wold recently and found the famous "Lord of the Rings" door that allegedly inspired Tolkien. But yes, it's not often you get the chance to see them, and Rothenburg has drawn attention for its looks by various artists and creators. It feels wonderful to immerse yourself in something that feels closer to fiction than reality...certainly compared to your average town!
A quick look at Visby and we're sold already 😍 That would be fantastic to visit if we get the chance, I guess taking a ferry from the Swedish mainland.
Thank you for the tip and your kind words ❤️ 🤗
@@comealongdear Good evening! Well since I look forward to seeing you every week, and being so curious and happy to sit down and watch - I'd say you fit the description! 💕
Reminds me of something you said, in I think your first video on YT, about looking for magic. This is a bit of that magic I feel, that beauty and the feeling of stepping into a fairytale, a painting or a fantasy film. But it"s actually reality, and you are standing right there, you can reach out and touch it! Turns you in to a kid again almost. I love that!
Oh, wonderful! I love coming there (summer time is when it really comes to life), and when it"s Medieval week it really is like stepping into a fairytale (almost by Tolkien)! Yes, you can take a ferry from either about an hour south of Stockholm (Nynäshamn) or from Oskarshamn in Småland (kind of halfway between where you were in Skåne and Stockholm). Gotland hardly feels like Sweden, it is a world of it"s own. We are just lucky to be right next to it. (They were for a long time Gutar, not Swedes, I think they still feel thay way sometimes.) ❤️ Thank you for being so lovely and spreading your good vibes and videos! 🥰
Thank you, you're very welcome 🥰 Oh wow, medieval week, that sounds perfect! We have to try to go one day 😁 Interesting to see that they were Gutar originally (from Germany?) and not Swedes, I wonder then do they have some very different traditions and customs to mainland Sweden?
Good to know you can easily get a ferry too 😍
Did you miss the narrow-guage steam-railway in Wernigerode?
We did unfortunately, the weather restricted us and time, and it was the sort of thing that (from memory) sounds like it's more worthwhile in winter with the snow 😍
I'm not a fan of streets without trees and parks in the town. That Christmas shop was amazing✨
I hear you, but the town is quite small really so within a minute you can be at the edges and surrounded by countryside which makes up for it 😁 The Christmas shop was so much bigger than our clips showed and there must've been about 30 staff members
The town is overlooking a valley. And the original city wall is there. You can walk around on it and look at the rooftops. These old towns were built inside the walls so it’s a small area with narrow streets, a square and townhouses.
What a pretty town! You guys are so sweet and funny. Perfect viewing on a Sunday morning with a cuppa Yorkshire Gold. Soon, I'll be out on the road, myself. Maybe I'll find the prettiest town in the U.S.
Thank you! How exciting for you, any plans or see where the road goes? Prettiest town in the U.S...now that would be interesting, but good luck with that! I've heard it's bigger than your average country 😉 Where would you even start?!
@@comealongdear I live near Mendocino, which is a very pretty town. You may have seen it dressed up as "Cabot Cove" in Murder She Wrote. I want to do all the national parks and stay mostly in the western US, but my dream would be to spend the summer traveling across Canada. And, find a husband as nice as Steven. Yeah, that's it!
Ah yes how nice is that, and to see all those National Parks too! If we could ever travel the U.S in a van we'd do it in a heartbeat if circumstances were right. So much out there waiting for you!
As for Stephen, I'll loan him to you for a bit if you like, try before you buy 😂🤪
do you chaps have any plans to upgrade your van? it could make the channel boom.
Maybe one day, but it's not something we can really invest in right now so we're hoping to keep Daisy going for as long as possible. How we would love room for a fixed bed though!
Love you two but this ep had too much talking into the camera. Turn the camera around sometimes.
Ah sorry you didn't like it so much this time, we try to balance talking with scenery and people seem to enjoy different things - it can be hard to get the mix right sometimes.
That shop looked amazing love your videos cant wait to be in a van wonted to do it for years but family health has always stopped me im only 39 (only lol )but won't to be full time by 40 but we will see 😊😊
Hello, thank you, and sorry to hear that. I hope you do manage to achieve your dream - age need not be a stopper either, some people do this well into pension years! Good luck to you 😍❤️
Didn't see a single bit of litter!!
It was pretty much immaculate there 😍
Bubble Ab Fab 😉👍❤️🥂
Bubble is my idol 😍
Mine too!!! 😂😂😂❤️
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie sections were filmed in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Schloss Neuschwanstein
Ah thank you for putting that info here - funnily enough I (Dan) did record myself saying about Chitty Chitty, but figured the section of me talking in the van was long enough so I cut it out 😂
@@comealongdear arrr cool.
If you're using YT to help with the costs, then make more videos a week to excelling the proceeds.
Well, we have thought about it, and realised to do that would mean that we'd probably have no time for anything else, not even a beer 😉 Good idea though and maybe there's a way to do it, other channels manage and we'd love to know how! Personally I think it would drive us insane to do 2 a week though 🤔 😂
