going to Busan! don't get the train. Ah you missed my sister's wedding 1st September, did happen to be a bit of a mission as Mom broke her hip too, wow those guys are amazing, they have Pilots that know the reefs and sandbanks, they're here too.
Boy, that was quite a nice toilet area‼️Korea – so close and yet so far‼️Covid really messed things up world wide‼️I am sooooo thankful you were in that hotel for a couple days‼️I sure have enjoyed your videos from Japan- THANK YOU😊❤️💙👍HOW WONDERFUL the man was there to greet you‼️ And the interesting experiences continue on the boat to Korea with getting a shared room‼️ you 2 continue to amaze me how you can just roll with everything that happens‼️ HIGH 5 to both of you‼️Even getting off was nerve racking‼️ And then you arrive in a strange new country, at night, in a huge city that you need to deal with – yikes‼️
What happened to Turkish subtitles? why not
Yikes im sorry you had to go through all that to get out of Japan! So glad you got the hotel 🏨
You two are just incredible an inspiration. Weren't the Japanese wonderful people. The video was amazing as usual.
Just a thought, and maybe its too expensive… but what if you shipped to Philippines, then to Indonesia (specifically the lesser sunda islands, the lower ones). then work your way west across those because they all have car ferries. Then Up through east java and sumatra. From there you can cross over on car ferry to Malaysia, north through thailand. This gets you past china.
I’m ferry relieved that you made it over there in the end
You had me worried a bit there and trying to book passage somewhere! Glad you made it to Korea safely. The adventure continues. ✌💕 God speed.
Forget travel Pat the next port . Sort your A.C.. a few 12 volt systems . Go to the philspeanes
A double glazing salesman knocked at my door. He said you bought double glazing from us 2 years ago
That's right I said
But you haven't paid a penny for it in 2 years
That's correct I said. when you sold me it you said it would pay for itself in two years
It would be amazingly useful if you could tell us your income and expenditure every month so that it helps current/future campers. I know you did a video last year but would love to see a regular update.
You guys rock! Nothing phases you 😊 true team work – looking forward to the next adventure- safe travels x
Wow
I'm usually pretty calm, but I'm stressed out just watching this.
You pair are so good at coping with everything that comes your way. Respect. 👍
Greetings from Singapore again, that was a shaky time, not being sure where & when to end up. I am glad that you made it to South Korea, I have never been there, so I am looking forward to have you guys, by my 'eyes & ears' for this leg of your journey. From South Korea, straight to Malaysia, it is a pity, you won't be able to travel VN with Trudy, then again the traffic there is mad, so maybe for the better. I understand from your previous episode, that you lived in Singapore before, are you planning to visit? From our previous communication and checking it from my side, Trudy can't enter SG. You might consider, driving to Johor Bahru and take a bus or so into to Singapore. I am more than happy to meet you guys and be of any help, if necessary, there must have been a lot of changes since you have left Singapore. Last but not least, are you considering a solution for the upcoming heat, when coming to Malaysia as it is probably worse than Japan. Bon Voyage
I travelled to Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in November of 2016, it was HOT and humid!!! Nevertheless it was an amazing place to visit. I hope you can get some kind of AC setup for Trudy to take care of the heat. When we arrived home in San Francisco it was such a relief to feel the cold Autumn air strike me in the face.
I’m confused as to why anyone would own a camper van without A/C.
Merhaba.
I’d check out getting a mini split AC system for your van. They make them for RVs and vans, and they’re very effective.
Congratulations you made it , luck is always on your side ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 enjoy 🎉🎉
Just so you know, regarding pronunciation, your booking agent's name is not "ka-ZOO-y," but "KA-zoo-eh" (eh like the first syllable of the word able). And the final city is not "fook-yu-i-ka," but "foo-koo-oh-ka." Japanese is a monosyllabic language and therefore reads quite differently than English.
You need to put a air tracker in Trudy so you can follow her along.
Pilots have to bring the ship into harbour. They do this with cruise ships too.
My nerves are shot. Lol. Wow you two have nerves of steel.😮😮❤❤
So happy you guys managed to move on. I traveled a year around New Zealand it was amazing so many good memory's. When you come back you should trave England be superpize what you find.
The crunchy vegetable in the side dish was likely daikon radish kimchi. Be prepared for a lot of spicy dishes ☺️
all's well that ends well, at least you didn't end up in North Korea 😃
Just wondering how you stay trimed. Do you do each other's hair, or have you had haircuts by the locals?
Your joy is gone, get out of Asia.
Pete from Poole – Really enjoyed this episode, very stressful for you, but you both deal with anything with such a positive mind set. So welcome to South Korea have fun and be safe – PS my bother lives in Telford so when you make it back with Trudy I'll make a special trip up for the welcome home celebrations safe travels
Chris you are fantastic but Marianne you are a warrior 💕💕
Chris, use the currency calculator to figure out the rates.
Glad you got over there guys, hope you found somewhere to sleep. Looing forward to the next leg of your journey ❤
Having watched your channel for some time now, I find it very frustrating all of the convoluted paperwork and hoops each country has in place for foreign travelers. Why is it so hard to travel? Visa, insurance, the right vehicle, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Then after all of that malarkey, there's the crap weather, finding a place to sleep, buy supplies for Trudy or yourselves. It seems like you've shown 89% roadblocks, i.e. problems, and only 11% enjoyment.
We wish you both well and more enjoyment in the next leg/arm of your trip. We'll be watching and wondering if you'll ever make it back to Homebase in one piece.
BTW: What has the cost for this trip been up until now?
Has it been worth the aggravation?
Truthfully, have you received more enjoyment than nuisance?
Dump the skylight, install a 12v AC 🙂
Good luck in Korea looking forward to next video 😊❤
You guys are so brave and amazing.
You are diffently role models for those who want to be adventurous, but to afraid to take the risk. You have proven it can be done, you just got to want it bad enough.
You and your travels are amazing I have been following you all the way, Pete from Ludlow
40 degrees? Sounds chilly, better put on a jacket and turn on the heat! 😜
Really enjoyed your Japan videos, now to look forward to your Korean adventures. We took the ferry from Fukuoka to Busan and fell in love with that city. I hope you can spend a bit of time there.
Wonderful guys enjoy and god bless, enjoy life
