We started our day with a delicious coffee at our hostel with the zen garden and trickling pond in front of us and then headed onto the very easy to follow metro line to East Nanjing Road. It’s a huge pedestrianised road with a variety of shops and eateries. We followed it down to The…

Our final roadtrip video around Europe
Living in a van makes us go abit loopy, when there’s no TV we are the only entertainment and making these silly videos each time we entered a new country certainly made us laugh. While I always attempted to do a local accent (usually sounding German) Craig decided to do Chinese and Indian accents, for…
Europe Roadtrip Part Two
Check out part two of our roadtrip as we attempt horrendous accents and live up to our weird status! Loving life in our homemade campervan ‘Pablo’ as always. Here we visit Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia! Play in HD.
Two crazy fools road tripping around Europe
When we began our Europe road trip back in May 2014 I told Craig I wanted to do a video every time we entered a new country…Craig wasn’t keen. I thought it would be a great idea to do each video in the accent of that country…Craig decided he didn’t like that idea either and…
Italy – the India of the West
After a 10 hour ferry from Greece, we reached the top of Italy’s heel at Bari. An announcement told us to head down to the car deck, so off we all went. To get to the lower deck though, we had to squeeze our way through trucks. The gaps between them were the width of…
Sleeping under Olive Trees on a Greek Island
As soon as we crossed the border into Greece, everyone looked Greek. Tanned and hairy would be the best description. They look like they’ve spent everyday of their lives basking in the sun and eating fresh food. Oh, and there are olive trees and cats everywhere. Greece was never really on our planned route, I…
Romanian Rumours
We wanted to get a good vantage point of the mountains in Retezat National Park, and after our unsuccessful hike the day before, we took the southerly route into the park. The road led through a beautiful valley, it would’ve been a lovely drive, had it not been for the grotty area. One town led…
Stray dog security guards
A small brown dog scurried towards my window as soon as we pulled up at a rest-area for the night. It had the most impassive face I’ve ever seen, it was as if he’d found a rubbish bag outside a clinic and accidentally jabbed himself with used Botox injections. Then another two dogs appeared, one…
Diving through snow in Tranylvania
We wanted to make the most of the Carpathians so decided to drive the Transfagarasan route which is the 2nd highest mountain road in Romania and plies through the Fagaras Mountains. It started off really dramatic, we could see our road ahead of us curving around a sheer wall. It was like being back in…
The Bear Necessities in Romania
We’re well and truly in bear country now. Romania has 40% of Europe’s wild bears, if we don’t see one here, our chances elsewhere are pretty slim. We drove south of Brasov to the Southern Carpathian’s where the ski village of Poiana Brasov sits at 1030m. Finally we got a piece of tranquility compared to…
