    All I can say is "Wish I woz there" thank you for sharing. Love the idea of cooking your own food and being able to store and heat up as you go along. Not to mention a decent cup of tea.

      A decent cuppa is most important for sure! 😊

    What an excellent road trip, beautiful scenery all along your route. That was a cool outdoorsy venturing show, and an even cooler fridge-freexer box Morten pointed out for you. I hope it's making a huge difference for you 😊👍🏼. He's such a helpy guy, eh? JetBoil, BluEtti, all your appliances that help be at home anywhere should be sponsoring you 🙏🏼.

    That looks like fun! I’d love to drive (be a passenger) through Italy. The gas station food is supposedly very good. Hehe!

    You beat my packet of mixed salad leaves and punnets of berries, most of which went off within 24hrs because of the heat. I pretty survived on bread rolls🤣You were traveling in style. Thanks for all the gadget ideas.

      Nothing lasts long in the car in the Portuguese heat. I can't carry make-up with me. My beeswax lip balms melted and got ruined and they are not cheap! This is why I don't understand how van lifers do it!

    I agree Louise, the place at the border would make a wonderful place for coffee, snacks ...you would make a killing! Ps did you take the B roads out of Portugal? Looked like it.. great vid 👌

    How hard was it to learn to drive left hand drive? I tried in Italy and wiped out the drivers side sill. Oh and nearly hit a police car all in 5km.

    What do the fuel tabs you bought in Spain with your diesel do?

    • @Solo50plus
      @Solo50plus  Рік тому

      I didn't get them in Spain I brought them from the UK. They make the fuel last longer and keep the engine clean.

  • @johncooper5293

    I've looked at Portsmouth to Bilbao for September and return end October and it is about £1000 (no cabin). How much will it be for you driving to France with the ferries , return trip?

    • @Solo50plus
      @Solo50plus  Рік тому +3

      I find it way to expensive going from/to Spain. The crossing from Dieppe was just £67 one way. Even with the extra diesel to drive through France it does not come close to the extra cost for the crossing to Spain. I love driving so would rather spend just 4-5hrs on the ferry and more time on the road. And it's over 24hrs for the crossing to Spain so you NEED a cabin, so you have to add that cost on as well!
