  • We travelled 2,737 km to get here. We hung out with family, swam in the sea, and William came round to the idea of a beach holiday. Thanks to you all so much for watching our travel videos. We'll be back again very soon.

    It’s been an absolute joy watching your daily vlogs and I’ll admit I’m feeling quite sad that they’ve come to an end. You’re both to be congratulated….it’s not easy travelling with a wee one let alone on and off public transport etc. Hoping to see you soon back home in Holly and Zero, take care.

    I love how you include your toddler in your travel adventures. Sixty odd years ago when I was born my parents felt they then had to be sensible grown ups and they stopped going doing rambles etc but maybe people then equated being grown up with being boring. Your kid will grow up with confidence and a bigger picture of life. That's good.

    This has been a wonderful series of mini videos. Well done guys. I have said this before. I am totally bamboozled as to why this channel does not have 250+ thousand subscribers. It is such a great channel with good wholesome content with a wonderful young family. Keep going you two, you bring some semblance of normality to our world each week.

    LOVED this series! Hope you'll do it again on the return trip home. Don't ask for much, right?? My husband and I used to live on a sailboat. When we crossed the Atlantic, our landfall was in Portugal - Cape St. Vincent, and we anchored at Sagres. After three days there, we moved on to Vilamoura. Did you see it? I looked it up. Vilamoura is only 25 km from Faro. The marina at Vilamoura has 825 boat slips! We were there with Tropic Moon (our ketch) for about 6 weeks. From there we moved on to Gibraltar, where we spent a winter, then moved on into the Mediterranean. We lived and cruised there for 4 years. It was 1984 when we did the Atlantic crossing. Many, many moons ago. I love watching your cafe boat series with the narrow boats. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos. When we traveled back in ancient history, we had a camera that took 35mm slides.

    It’s been brilliant to watch you guys and your slow travel adventures. We love overland and sea travel and we hope many more people will discover it too. The journey becomes part of the holiday and of the adventure. Time slows down and you appreciate the world we live in even more. Xx

    • @janebaker966
      @janebaker966 Рік тому +2

      Yes,now I can travel a bit that sort of slow travel is the best. Can be frustrating,can be scary,when your train is cancelled or your bus doesn't turn up,but it means you learn to think on your feet,and yes,the travel is part of the adventure.

      This series has been sooooo fantastic! I’ve watched each episode at least twice! Looks like this is a wonderful family reunion vacation for you all! Thank you so much for all the work you two did for sharing this series with us! We so appreciate it!
      This travel series reminded me of a family I saw back in 1981 at the youth hostel in Copenhagen. They had a toddler and the wife was “very pregnant”. The next morning I watched as they left the youth hostel with two rucksacks and the toddler happily sitting in their wagon they were pulling! Always wondered, what their next destination was……

    It's kinda cool that it's obvious you worked in TV before vlogging, because nearly every shot on your vlogs is so nicely constructed. Also love the fact that the music choice and sunset made the ending feel like some super heart-tugging ending to an oscar-winning drama. Love to see more of your journeys :)

I love the fact you’ve chosen to not take the easy route and actually travel across land and see the geography of a country and meet the people, it’s such a valuable experience ~ I’ve loved watching! Enjoy your holiday and this special family time!

It is nice to see the world via the slices of it which y'all journey through and to. And, also a factor, y'all just simply make fun videos.

    Watching your travels on the English canals are great. Your daily travel vlogs through Spain and into Portugal were equally fantastic. Safe travels.
