I really love how they have so much plant-based food there and the solar panels everywhere it's just going right in sync with the way that we should be living right now I give it A+

The weather has been the same here in Southern Spain. Lots of rain, pretty cold and cloudy days and better weather in the uk.. But at least we are out of drought!! Not at all typical this time of year and a lot of southern Europe has been the same.

Hi Liam and Janine. It’s a shame you couldn’t make it to Albania, we were looking forward to some tips from you, as we are going there in a couple of months, including, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. We got fully comp insurance from Caravan Guard, we have also obtained a green card for these countries. We are also going to Greece again and hoping to visit some places we couldn’t go to on our last European tour because of the terrible flooding. Good luck in Greece, we loved it. If you get a chance you ought to go to Bulgaria and Romania. They are wonderful countries and the people are so friendly and helpful. Annette and Pete

No weather, no go. You have been really unlucky. Last year there was a drought in Sicily. I live in Liguria in northern Italy. and we have experience a month of unusually cold and wet weather too. Can't wait for the sun.

❤Enjoy Greece.Liam & Janine. Definitely head down South. Crossing over the Korintha Canal, head towards Nafphlion, the capital of Greece in achient days. Head to Tolo and you can catch boats to Hydra and Spesi, two islands you can visit. Then head slightly inland to Epidavria. The amphitheater where they put on concerts and plays. These are just some ideas. Whichever way you turn you’ll enjoy the drive, can’t wait to see where you end up. xxx🩷🇬🇧🇬🇷

We crossed from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa 30 years ago with a camper van. When I went out on deck the next morning all the top deck of the boat appeared to be on fire. The crew came rushing down with fire extinguishers and managed to put it out. By the time we got to Igoumenitsa they had repainted it all so nobody there knew.

Hi, really enjoyed the latest video, Sicily is on our wish list. We took a motorhome to Greece about 12 years ago. Overnight ferry from Trieste to Igoumenitsa. After six weeks on Corfu, with friends, we toured Greece. Our absolute top tips: Vicos Gorge; Delfi & Meteora. Even now these are still some of the best places we've ever been. Much preferred the mainland to the Islands as fewer tourists, quiet decent roads. Have a great time, look forward to your next instalment.

Glad you got to experience Etna as apparently it's starting spewing lava again today! X

@jacksg1809 1 year ago

Hi Liam and janine I bet your glad you're not climbing mount etna today just been on news it's erupted all visitors and residents evacuated. Looking forward to your next video, Andy

@user-hq1cm8vg9l 1 year ago

great vid, climbing Etna on a similar trip is something I did with my dad 40 years ago, still have a piece of volcanic rock from that trip. My dad now sadly has dementia, so doesn't remember it, but I do, great times. It started a lifelong obsession with volcanos (I've seen some amazing ones)...shame you missed out Matera when driving to Brindisi - easily our favourite place in Italy.

@Greenfingers831 1 year ago

Fab video again guys, Etna looked amazing. I think the meals you prepare always look so tasty, have you ever thought of compiling a vegan recipe book? 🫶😄

Small world with isn't it with your Driver, I'm only about half an hour away from Stoke on Trent with my house in Hodnet, it's a medieval town I live in, hope the weather's keeping nice for you both today and Happy Easter 🐰🐣 to you both xxx
