Vibrant city indeed. Amiens looks cracking. That cathedral too. 😍 Love the projection at night... That hypermarket looked mahooosive. Liking the sticker on the back of Florrie 😉
Cheers Kev. We’re having a blast! We were lake swimming on Saturday in 33 degrees and now we have a severe snow and ice warning in Austria. Snowing heavily and the bar is playing Xmas songs 🤣🤣
Huge store. Looked like they had about everything that you needed. I hate toll roads. I try to avoid them whenever possible. That cathedral was so impressive and beautiful. Awesome!! That is a must see if you travel through this area for sure. Looks like you are having a great time so far. Have a wonderful day.
We are having a blast Steve, we've got a bit behind on uploading and viewing as the data cost is crazy over here, But Amiens is a wonderful city - really vibrant and pretty cool - our first time here and we will be back!! The Cathedral light show was incredible, never seen anything like that!! Thanks for watching mate - catch up with you when we're back home again
We’re sitting in the van on what seems like the hard shoulder of the motorway 😨. Expensive stellplaatz right next to a beautiful lake but so close, and so loud - kept us awake. Also having big problems with data. And now the router has packed up 😃. I had it in bits yesterday but still not sorted 🤦🏻♂️ Have a great weekend Dave and Lindsay. Will catch up with everything as soon as we get home. 👍
It really was Jay. Loved it there. Apologies for not watching vids at the moment. We have no data and the mobile wifi has decided to pack up!! Have a lovely weekend mate.
Yes the size of the supermarket is overwhelming, you can buy anything in them. I always avoid the toll roads whenever possible. The light display is fantastic in Amiens, always great. All the best, Ivor
Hi Ivor mate. Yes Amiens was wonderful. Mesmerised by that light show! We tried to avoid the toll roads but both satnavs we were using took us back to it 🤦🏻♂️. We had quite a few problems with satnavs on the trip even we had set them for no tolls. Got back a few days ago and need to catch up on vids. It’s been a bit crazy since we got back!! Hope you guys are doing ok. 👍 🤞
Hi Dave and Sue, We caught up with this on the telly last night. What an exciting next leg of your journey. I (Shell) would never be seen or heard of again after entering that massive supermarket!😂. Well done for making it out the other side Sue!😂😊👊. Ooh all dressed and ready for a night out in Amiens guys 🤗 👗👌. What a gorgeous place, we are loving the European culture too!🙌. Wow, the cathedral is absolutely stunning, love how the stained glass windows completely change the light and the atmosphere of a place of worship. That light show was spectacular, and what a view of it you had from your daughters accommodation, a night you will never forget we are sure! Carry on enjoying guys, look forward to the next one, Safe travels, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Cheers Shell and Pete. An amazing first day in France. We loved Amiens, such a vibrant city and the Cathedral was so beautiful. Genuinely blown away by the Light Show, the pics and film just can’t do it justice! Sorry for late reply. We’ve been in Salzburg all day and we’re both absolutely cream crackered.😃😃. We literally just fell back in the van We need a relaxing day tomorrow but I think we going up another mountain 😃 Hope you guys are having a good week and thanks as always for your kind words.
We are Lindsay, although cream crackered tonight as we had a day in Salzburg. We’ve been so lucky on this trip and visited some incredible places. Just wish we had started all this earlier. Managed to get some data today so will try and catch up with vids very soon. Hope you guys are having a good week 👍👍
Lovely video! This looks like a great start to your visit to France! It can be easy to get lost in such a big market which can be very stressful! The light show was so pretty! Thanks for sharing
Happy Friday Dave and Sue wherever in Europe you are tonight! Your trip started in a grand way and that light show was just stunning, so you had luck in having such a nice spot to see it from! And watching it with your family must have made it even more special for you! So what a way to start your trip (we will not talk about getting lost in a supermarket mind you;)! Looking forward to further updates and hoping you are doing well in the unusually warm weather that Europe is having at the moment! All the best, Ant
Thanks very much Ant. Intently in Bavaria on the Austrian border. We’ve parked up in an expensive site on Lake Chiemsee. Problem is, a motorway runs about 50 yards away and it’s loud!! Amiens was an incredible experience Ant. Unforgettable!! And yes it’s been really hot. Each day above 30C. But finally tomorrow into Austria and the weather will change. But it’s been so much fun. Our van wifi has given up, we’re using German SIM cards and we have no idea what we’re doing. But everyone has been so friendly and helpful when we’ve got stuck. Hopefully will be able to post some more on this trip but not sure how yet!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Have a wonderful weekend mate.
@NBNatureTrailvan oh dear. That road sounds a bit too close for comfort, so hope you will manage through the night! And that cooler air will greet you tomorrow 😀
We use a toll tag or try and avoid tolls , love that supermarket , we got lost in there too , it is a bit on the big side , liking the in at the deep end philosophy, keep up the good work and great informative vlogs
Thanks mate. Very kind of you. We’re having a lot of fun. Had the mobile WiFi in bits this evening and we’ve now sourced local sims which has proved a bit of a problem We seem to be on a “don’t do it this way” trip 😃 Hope you have a brilliant weekend. David
Catching up in small steps haha..light show looks fab. Did you sort the Revolute card? Basically, it has a 50 euro limit for tap and go. Above that you just put it in the machine and use your pin code.
Cheers Chris. Yes we discovered that, but then on a few occasions (mostly restaurants or hotels), the card just wasn’t recognised at all. But mostly it’s been fine for cash points and most other outlets like fuel and tolls 👍👍
Well, I guess getting lost in a market one can't go hungry...just find a place, pull out some food, and sit and wait for someone to find you! lol But I know the feeling as I had a similar experience in a multi-level mall in Thailand with twists and turns no matter which way you went!! You need to switch your driving position...those tolls would certainly take a toll on me! lol O do enjoy using public transportation when I can as it sure makes it easier not to have to be searching for someone to park in unfamiliar territory. Those light shows are pretty great...we've had a few downtown here in Halifax. Continue to enjoy the adventure!
Cheers Bruce. We’re having a great time. Bit of a problem getting SIM cards to work even ones we’ve bought here! 🤦🏻♂️. So we’re currently unable to upload or download anything. It’s very frustrating but will just have to with it and catch up with everyone when we get back. Hope you and Otis are doing good mate.
Hi Victor. Yes we can speak a bit of basic French so we manage to get by. That was our daughter. We met up on our first night in France and then went our separate ways. We’re hopefully meeting up again in a couple of days. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Hi Dave and Sue, Nice part of your journey, indeed. The Cathedrale and its show is spectacular. Good choice 😉👍
Oh my goodness - an incredible spectacle Gaddielle!!

@@NBNatureTrailvan Don't worry bout the vids, lol. I haven't been able to catch up properly either due to life getting in the way, lol.
The light show looked fantastic..how lucky to have it coincide with your visit and to get such a good view 😊👍
It’s was so beautiful. Mesmerising- we were so lucky we got to see it! We had an amazing trip. Best ever - we can’t wait to go back! 😃

Amiens looks an amazing place to visit. Cathedral looked amazing both inside and outside 👍Graeme

Happy travels. Have a nice weekend Dave and Sue. Take care 😊
You too Arnstein
We are having an amazing time here in Germany.
Very beautiful. (But not as beautiful as 🇳🇴)
Gosh! The cathedral looks wonderful. I do love a bit of stained glass!
It was wonderful. And the Light Show was mesmerising!!
We loved every minute of the day.

Can any of you speak French 🇫🇷 was that your daughter I saw
Hi Victor.
Yes we can speak a bit of basic French so we manage to get by. That was our daughter. We met up on our first night in France and then went our separate ways. We’re hopefully meeting up again in a couple of days. Fingers crossed. 🤞
