If you have travelled Ireland and want to add any advice - or if you have any questions that aren't covered in this video then put a comment below and then we will answer them. - thanks for watching
You are true about the locals: they are very friendly. I went to Ireland in the 90s. Toured the Ring of Kerry and saw the tour bus go almost halfway off the cliff to make a turn. Yes, the roads are tiny, but I had one of the best times of my life. Thanks for the video! From America.
@fluffyduckbutter's sister the cheapest place to buy right now is County Leitrim. Lots of liveable small cottages and farmhouses, even cheaper if you buy to fix up. It's near the coast, (even has a tiny coastline of a few km) near the border with the UK, has the Shannon Blueway with great rivers loughs and canals, lots of mountains and hiking trails. However it can be wet due to the bad weather coming in off the Atlantic, and with the mountains and loughs, that encourages precipitation. County Leitrim will benefit from extra government spending this year on town centre improvements, cycle paths, road upgrades, tourist advertising, other things. Hope that helps.
Loved the video about Ireland. I would love to visit there. I do have a questions, I'm from the US. I understand that we drive on the opposite sides of the road from u all. Do u think it would be hard to drive there??? R the road signs pretty easily read also? Keep up the great work.
Glad you liked the video - we had a blast and loved every aspect of our experience !! we will be back in 2019 and can't wait - Hope you enjoy the other vlogs 😃🚐💜👍
This is one off the best descriptions off traveling in Ireland .. I’m happy you enjoy my beautiful country . Safe driving on your future destinations 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Thank you for your kind words about ireland and the irish. It means so much. Your welcome back anytime. There is a pint of Guinness waiting for you guys when you return.
Hi Robert - you are welcome .... to be honest we have fallen in love ..... we will see you for that pint one day 😂😘💚🚐👍kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
As a Brit who’s lives in Ireland for 10 years, theirs a couple of points that might help you. Those washing machines are also in most supermarket car parks as well. You also missed out on the coastal town car parks, as they’re now being set up especially for camper vans with bins, waste disposal and water facilities. Here in Cobh (and a lot more tourist towns that I’ve found) theirs specific parking spaces especially for campers These are normally about €10 a night and are right in the tourist hotspots
TREAD the globe I’m based down in Cobh, just off the coast from cork, and around the coast from kinsale. Give me a shout next time you come over, I’ll give you some tips on places to visit. We have a drive way you can park on and use of our facilities. I love spreading the word of how beautiful this country is, and would recommend anyone to come over and explore it.
Hi 👍 That is sooo kind - thank you very much - well we love spreading the word too !!! we absolutely have fallen in love with Ireland and will always come back !! - thank you again for your offer and if we are your way !! we will be there 😊😂🤗💚 kind regards Marianne xx
So so nice to hear all your complimentary comments for us Irish people and great that you had such a lovely experience in our country. Yes we are very friendly and when we meet really nice people like you we don't want to part from such good company. Enjoy the rest of your road travels
Thank you! 😃 We loved it for sure !! 💚🚐💃 We are currently on a road trip in Turkey until the borders open again and then we will go into Georgia / Russia and then beyond !! woo hoo - kind regards Marianne xx
Absolute stunning country i worked for a company driving lorries in the netherlands and we used to deliver to various places in ireland and i always found the irish people to be the most hospitable and helpfull people ive come accross infact these people have such good local knowlage it was unreal and i could ask anyone where a place was that i had to find and they could tell me each and every detail to get to where i needed to be and that knowage never once failed me thank you to everyone i met whilst there and i shall return again someday probably in a camper van😎👍
So true Philip - the people are stunners - we have left a bit of our hearts there and will be back .... maybe see you in your van !! 💚🚐😍 kind regards Marianne and Chris 👍😃
I spent three days in a rural bar In Ireland. I was part of a film crew. It seemed the whole village turned out, all 37 of them. I went in with 60 quid and came out with 60 quid!
That is just one example of the fabulousness of the Irish !! They are generous and so sweet hearted !! It was a pleasure and an honour to have met so many beautiful people 💚🚐🌸🙌🌺 We will be going back without a doubt !! kind regards Marianne xx
It's really beautiful to hear such a lovely review of my country. Welcoming visitors is a large part of our national pride and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. Thank you for saying such kind words about my home.
Hi Rory - thank you for your comment, we loved our time in Ireland and will be back in the future ... so many people want to know our top 3 places in the world ... and Ireland will always be there ... we loved it and felt as though we have left a part of our hearts there ... with all the beauty, kindness and new friendships we have made .... absolutely loved it !! Super happy you enjoyed our video and will always say the best things about Ireland as it was fabulous !! Kind regards and hugs to Ireland 🤗😍💚🚐👍 Marianne and Chris xx
Ohh this is so true! I went to Ireland for a week, hitchhiking, and the problem is not getting picked up, the problem is, they won't let you go! They want to buy you lunch and coffee and drive you anywhere, show you everything, tell you everything! They are amazing, I love the Irish so much! And I will definitely consider taking my van there once I have one! Thank you for this very helpful video :)
Helllooooo 😂😂😂hilarious !!! yes - everyone was amazing 💚😍😘💚😍Ireland is a must go / must do destination - thank you for your lovely comment 👍💚🚐💕 kind regards Marianne and Chris xxx
You guys should be paid by Bord Failte, the Irish tourist Board, for your tips and winkles for traveling the Wild Atlantic Way. This is so practical even for Irish Motorhomers. Thank you for your positivity and wisdom and sense of fun and adventure! Happy travels in Trudy😊🙃😍
Hi Marie - thank you sooo much for your lovely comment ..... If they want to pay us that would be cool !!! And then we could come back sooner !!! As we will be back in 2019 ........ will do a big shout out and hopefully meet one day 😉🤗🚌💜 kind regards M xx
Thank you for recommending Ireland it's a beautiful country and I'm proud to be Irish and I'm proud about your comments about my country and I hope to see you all over there again soon look after yourself enjoy travelling around the world in your camper
We followed your route in September, and whilst the weather was not as kind to us, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Everything you have said is spot on.
Hi David - thank you for your comment 👍💜🚐😀 We are so glad you enjoyed your trip - yep we share our experiences as they are .... and I think it would be hard not to feel the love in Ireland 💜🌺 M xx
I love your channel. Very true about Ireland. People and country is incredible. Thank you for being so forthcoming about this incredibly lovely place. A true gem of a country. I like your channel so much that you now have a new subscriber. Thank you. Enjoy
Hi Deborah - Thank you so much for your kind words .... It is very easy to be complimentary about Ireland .... we have fallen head over heals and loved every aspect - kind regards M xxxx
Hey guys. We stayed at the cliffs in kilkee on your last night there. ( the green vw t4). Watching this makes me excited to go round ireland again!!! (Even though I live in Ireland!)
Everyone leaves a bit of their heart here! Thanks for the lovely review, so great you had such a lovely trip, come back again soon! I wish we had more people doing van life here but maybe it's the weather lol 💚
That's a lovely review of our little country. I'm delighted to you enjoyed yourselves. But please don't forget to come back - there's always something else to be seen & more craic to be had. Slán.
Wow - thank you for your comment - we fell in love and will be sure to come back ... 12 weeks and we only saw a fraction of the beauty !! 💚🚐😍 - See you in the Autumn !! Marianne and Chris xx (if you want to keep an eye on where we are and know when we are coming back we are also on FB and Insta 👍😘)
Hi Fiona - we had such a great time and we are already planning our return trip in August / Sept this year - thank you for your lovely comment - Kind regards Marianne and Chris 🚐💚😍👍
We take our holidays there every year we just love Ireland and Irish people love to hear them speak love the Irish radio stations I keep up to date with what they are doing love Dublin city Kerry love Donegal wouldn't want to be any were else if we had the chance to live there we would we can't as yet so we have holidays and stay in House's we would like to stay longer we hope to love and hugs God bless Diane xxxx 🌈💚🐸 🇮🇪🐸🙏👍💚☘️🍀
I'm delighted with your review of our country,I live on the South West of Ireland near the Beara....I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay....you're welcome back anytime....
Great video. I live in Northern Ireland, quite close to the Causeway in fact. I can confirm your statement on fuel prices between the both countries. Diesel is much cheaper in the South compared to the North. Petrol is the opposite dearer in the South. I discovered this fact when I changed from diesel to petrol.
You are more than welcome - we were welcome too !! we loved Ireland and we are truly blessed to have met some of the best people in the world !!! Who we now consider our best friends - we are glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy the series 👍💜😍
Subscribed! First time viewer. Thank you very much for this. I have no plans to go to Ireland in my campervan however it is now a serious consideration. Great video guys you are great ambassadors for the van community - a lovely couple and I hope you go on and have lots of amazing ventures.
Thank you for your Sub !! - absolutely fabulous place xx 💚😍💚😍👍 thank you for your kind comment too 💜 that is very thoughtful and sweet - enjoy your travels too - all the best Marianne and Chris 👍😍
I so enjoyed this video. I immigrated to Ireland in 2017 from South Africa, and am yet to explore this beautiful island. We've done the ring of Kerry a couple of times because it's so beautiful, but I wasn't aware that the busses run anti-clockwise. Great tip, because I came face to face with some busses on some very dodgy roads.
Oh that is great to hear - we have just shipped to Durban as we are now on an expedition to get ourselves and Trudy around the world !! Enjoy Ireland - we loved it !!
Thank you Dermot - we try really hard to share all the positive and kindness that we encounter 💚🚐🤗💐 WE are delighted you enjoyed the video - Kind regards Marianne xx
You are welcome - your country did you proud 🍀☘💚 and we could not fault a thing - it was truly one of the best experiences of our lives .... thank you 👍🌺💜
We loved your video and have been doing exactly the same as you for five years now. Each year we do three months of the Wild Atlantic Way wild camping all the way and absolutely love it!!! We'll be back in April again this year thanks guys. XX
Hi Maria - we can see why you go back ........ it is the best !!! sounds like you are having a great time 😍🚐 👍 we hope you enjoy our vlogs on our travels in and around Ireland - kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
I have just posted I couldn't find the rest of the videos you had been pointing to, after looking around I found them. Delighted I did. I am delighted you had such beautiful weather when you visited. Thank both of you for the way you promoted Ireland, I think you guys should get some recognition from the Irish tourist board, maybe they just might like to say thank you with a gift of cash are a 5 star holiday here next time you return to Ireland 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️💚💚💚
Thanks Pat - sorry we are on a drive in Alaska at the moment and the internet and time driving are causing me to be delayed in replying !! But yes we loved our time in Ireland and Chris created a playlist to help find the videos - I hope you are enjoying them xx Kind regards Marianne xx
I'm half way through and hearing nothing but positive word for irealand. Love the accent and love ireland. So glad u enjoyed it. I can't wait to go back and see the beauty again. Love the traveling videos. Well done xx
Hi James - thanks for the comment and so pleased that you enjoyed this video - we had the best time in Ireland and loved every minute of our adventure there. I'm sure we drove through Ballyheigue on our travels. Keep in touch - we'll be back for sure., not sure when . - may be after the around the world drive !! Chris & Marianne 😎👍🚐
So many people have told me that I look 'Irish'... I have always taken that as a compliment. Now I know it is a compliment of highest order. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Ireland and the warmth of the Irish people. Thank you for the tips and pointers as well. May your path be free of all obstacles. (It's a Turkish thing, don't worry.)
What a fab video, and what a wonderful life you live. I myself live in the beautiful County Donegal, and it is a wonderful place to be, but now I'm very tempted to buy a little van and travel the globe. Enjoy your travels and thanks for sharing. x
Hi Marion - thank you for your lovely comments - I hope you saw our video about Donegal !!! I even did the bridge jump !!! and was part of the most beautiful wedding ..... ahhh the memories xxx kind regards Marianne xx
Ah this is deadly, so so glad you both had a brilliant time in Ireland. It's what you make of it and you both certainly sound like you made the most of it rain or sunshine. Pitch your van up again soon, don't be strangers. 😁 PS you both should visit ALL the little islands on the west coast especially Donegals and Galways.
Thanks !!! we really will be back ..... we loved every minute of every day !! we hope to get to the Islands in 2019 - but if we don't we will be back again !!! we don't think we could resist !! ha ha - totally in love ........ 💜😍😄
I subscribed☺️ loved your review about Ireland 😍 here I am you tubing van life and what van to buy for myself (65 women on my own ) and come across you two and though well holly god what are they going to say about Ireland phhhhhhh it was all good you did a fantastic review, so happy to hear you had a wonderful time ,.

Glad you enjoyed ireland. Nice to see people enjoying themselves. Happy the irish you met were nice and friendly. Hope to see you back again. Safe onward journey. Pat.
Hi Patrick - thank you for the comment / follow - sorry for the delay in replying - we have fallen completely in love with Ireland and will be back next year at some point - but will continue to journey around the Central America for 5 months first xxx
as an Irish person I was delighted with your positive view of touring Ireland, I love this country. it's just the people running it I have doubts about lol just one thing, its the Cliffs of Moher (Mower as in lawn mower!) all the best
Thanks for such a great video, I really enjoyed it. I soon will be a newby to the world of the motorhome and I can’t wait. So all videos of information, tips etc are all welcome. I lost my mother a few years ago and her will has been rather complicated and very much drawn out but at last it’s soon to be settled and mother bless her always knew that I dreamed of owning a motorhome and now thanks to her that dream will soon be coming true. So if you see a bloke in a motorhome with two black Labradors with a smile from ear to ear on your travels, it just could be me.
Hi Jonathan, I am sorry for your loss and send big hugs your way ..... Keep us posted and DM us on FB to let us know when you get on the road, we will be about in the summer / autumn and will be taking Trudy back to Ireland and NI - so you might see us too !! I am so happy you have found your way into the Moho world - never a dull day, and the community is a beautiful family ... keep in touch 🤗😍👍💐💚🚐 kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
Thankyou im from Co DUBLIN.And its lovely 2 hear you enjoyed your holidays here.we traveled a lot when our boys were young.they are in there 30s now an we are 50.

Godbless you on your travels. Carly @ paul.. 🇮🇪💛🎊📣💚🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🐕😋🎸🎷
Lovely video! I was looking for vids on places to camp in Ireland and watched this one. Thanks for the tips! And totally agree, Ireland is a gorgeous country filled with gorgeous people. We loved our visit last year so much we're buying a house and moving there next year. Perhaps one day, we'll run into you. :)
Hi Annie - what a fabulous place to move to !! We absolutely loved it - lucky you xx We will defo be back ... so we might bump into you 💚🚐🤗🙌 Kind regards and thanks for watching our videos xx Kind regards Marianne xx
Hi Rodney - we followed the WAW and also used park4night or if all else failed we looked on google maps from the satellite and you can see laybys or spaces to park at dead ends - on the WAW we stopped in all the viewing points and also at pubs along the way (ask first, but everyone we went to was happy for us to stayover if you eat or drink) Enjoy and happy travels xx
Hi Rodney - have you tried Claddagh Quay (half a km from the city centre) or I know that a few of the car parks in Galway no longer let vans / Mohos in 😳🙄🤔 - good luck and let me know if you get it sorted - we have used park4night and in fact i have just signed us up as it might be fun to add new places around the world !! Kind regards Marianne xx 🚐🌺🙌
You scared me there, I thought u were going to say we were un friendly I spoke with you on carlinfgord peer, rem you got the best summer weather in prob 20 yrs , great review tks for ur vids on Ireland, hopefully more UK people will visit
Ha Ha - how could we say bad things - this was our best time yet !!! - we loved that spot and will be planning a trip back in 2019 to catch up with friends and do a bit of planning for a challenge we have set ourselves in 2020 !! - so keep an eye out for us again xx😍🌺👍
I'm English and spend much time in my van, always been interested in Ireland but because of politics thought I wouldn't be welcome, how wrong was I, I must come. X
@@simongalbraith7849 you are 100% welcome here in Ireland. Irish and English people have always been a close community as you know 1000's of Irish people emigrated to England through the years. It might be true when playing football or rugby 😀 apart from that we are a close people and all will get a good welcome. Cheers.
Great tips and ideas both! We did the Scotland northcoast500 back in June in a hired RV and experienced very similar things, wild camping for example! Thanks for a super video😀👍👍👍
Duncannon beach is only about 20 minutes from me. It's a lovely spot. Next time you come back, make sure to visit the Copper Coast here in Waterford if you haven't yet. Also rent some bicycles if you don't have any and cycle the Déise Greenway here. It's very scenic. If you need any other spots, just let me know. I've drove from tip to tip many times.
That is so helpful - thank you again Sean - TBH Duncannon was the first time we had ever parked on a beach !! so it is really special to me - we did drive some of the Copper Coast ... but when we come back we would love to do some cycling 💚👍🚐- Thank you - Marianne and Chris xx
Delighted you guys had a great time here .people for the most part here would have no problem helping anyone .we had an English couple broke down in the snow here last February and we towed them to our house and they stayed with us for two nights in a little cottage we had just done up in our yard till there camper was fixed they were overwhelmed and still stay in contact to this day ! You guys are great lovely video !come back again 😊
Well there we are !!! another fabulous heartfelt story of kindness and compassion 💕💚😘🚐how lovely ..... we will be back and we will come in Trudy as we are all in love with Ireland - kind regards Marianne xx
Loved the video, the title made me worry you'd had a terrible experience. Glad you enjoyed our beautiful little country. Hope you can come back some time. Slain abhaile 🍀🇮🇪❤️
Absolutely loved Ireland .... we would recommend it to anyone and have to say it was the easiest place to fall in love ..... all over again !! 🤗😍🚐🙌 best wishes Marianne xx
Just a little tip, when coming into Dublin by ferry and using the port tunnel any motorhome (OVER 3.5 TON) is free.....if your motorhome is 3.5 ton you will be charged it has to be over.....to use for free
Hi Mark - Thank you for your comment, we really had a blast ..... and will definitely be going back !! Absolutely right about the people and scenery !! 🤗😍👍
Loved the vid, Me and my partner (she is originally from up in the North of Ireland) went there and Hired a motorhome from Belfast in February after doing a canal boat in England. We traveled north to Bushmills and then headed west to do the Atlantic Way all the way to the bottom and then Waterford before finishing up in Dublin to fly to the Canary Islands before flying home to Australia. We mainly parked behind pubs outside of towns which was dangerous as we got to party with some amazing locals. The narrow roads were a challenge but because it was winter we did not have much traffic to pass. Our biggest problem was if we wanted to park up at a van park, most were shut because it was off season. And most the car parks have bars at the entrance so only cars can get in. Most of our friends here thought we were crazy going that time of year but we got lucky and got home before the virus and they have had to cancel holidays. Love Ireland and the very friendly people. cheers.
Ha Ha - it is really easy to fall in love with Ireland !! We loved it and will be back to do more of Ireland 💚 and of course drink more Guinness !! best wishes and we might meet up on the road !! kind regards Marianne xx
HI Keith - you are soooo right !!! we had a blast and will always consider ourselves blessed to have spent 12 of the best weeks of our lives with such amazing people 💜😍🌴🔅 thanks for your lovely comment kind regards Marianne and Chris xxx
Ha Ha !! well we had to make it funny as we had so much fun in Ireland !! 😂💚🚐😉Thank you for your sub and I hope you love the videos Chris made ..... we have a positive vibe ... or so I am told 💕😘👍kind regards Marianne xx
Hi 🙂💕honestly they may be kind .... but they are true 🚐💚kind regards Marianne and Chris - keep an eye out for Trudy - we are hoping to be back this summer after our backpacking trip 😍👍
Great video! Thanks for posting! My son (23 yrs) and I (61 yrs) are planning a trip in this spring (May/June 2024). We're thinking of renting a camper van as we are already avid campers in the United States. Wondering if those wild campsites are still available 5 years after your trip. I'm seeing information that wild camping isn't allowed. Anyway, thank you so much! It was very helpful!
Hi,I’m from the hills of donegal,I’m glad you enjoyed your trip,we have a Mazda bongo camper set up,and every time we get a day off we just take a trip to the coast, 😁👍
Hi Tina - sounds lovely - what a perfect spot you live in xx we were lucky enough to spend some time there as our friends got married near the airport 💚we shared that too on our vlogs Marianne xx
Ahh thanks - we will - when we get back from Central America end of June we will plan something so any time in the Summer / Autumn ..... we will be back !! catching up with friends and making new !!! keep an eye out for Trudy 💚🚐😍
Love Ireland - Love Irish People - can not say enough lovely words to describe the amount of fun and love we felt - I cried when we left !! 💚🤗😍🚐🙌😘 have a fabulous time and send our love - Marianne xx
Well said !!! absolutely stunning - we had the best time and I think Chris did Ireland proud - he has only just started but managed to capture the beauty every time !!! YAY !! M xx💜🌺😍
I would try and attach my rubbish to the outside of my van get a bike carrier and support your rubbish by fixing it in between it ,love what your doing ,did it in France wow it was amazing xxx Good luck .
From an Oirish line of MacDonalds who fraternised with the O'Donnells (dust not settled yet)... SO love my link... daring-do bunch of lawless merrymakers... have mixed with French-Hugenot stock in SA... what a damn mix... Godspeed you lovely peeps...so nice to see a happy couple ...well matched... safe journeys & huge hugs...
Ireland is GREAT! We picked up a campervan in Navan and heading towards Waterford on to the ring of Kerry and then headed all the way up to Galway and then headed back to Dublin and took a ferry to the UK.
good call to heed the road signs especially for connors pass. Coming from Dingle would be fine, it's getting down the other side that would have you shaking . You could chance it in a small camper. And thanks for saying such lovely things about us Irish but of course not everyone is nice. i'm glad you met some good ones.
Hi Marie - thank you for your message, we did indeed meet fabulous people - glad you enjoyed the video and hope you are having an OK time during this situation 💐🙌🚐🙏💚
Thank you , I love your video. My dream is to return to Ireland. To see the entire country, every nook and cranny. You just lightened my heart. ☺️🇨🇦🍀👍💐🥰
OMG you’ve completely ruined my plans as I’ve been watching your video, I’m off to Ireland. Really really good tips and hints (can’t bring myself to use the new 'Hacks' word… Where did that come from?). Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed your visit! Touristy areas better set up for wild camping than other places in the midlands, due to misuse by Travellers. Different rates of excise duty in the UK and Ireland, thus cheaper diesel in the South at the moment. In your 3 months, and however many thousand KM travelled, did you meet a single Garda or traffic checkpoint? Enjoy the warm weather in Spain, and I'm looking forward to more blogs. Especially Germany.
Hi Nigel 👍 thanks for the info - yep to true We drove 4.5 K Miles and our only encounter with Garda was one car pulled up behind us and checked that we were OK and just asked us what our plans were. Yep Spain is very warm - we have managed to swim nearly everyday !! 💜🌴 but it is not as much fun without the Chunky Dunkers !!! M xx
I love this. I’m debating hiring a vw camper for very first time. I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 and just turned 50 and finished cancer treatment and always wanted to do this. You as a couple remind me of myself and my wife. You sound lovely 😆😆😆 We have a little dog who is very shy but when sees other dogs he almost cries to see them but it comes across aggressive ( he’s a Cavachon) . It’s like an angry teddy bear. Did you encounter many dogs on your way? Also eating, is it best to pull up somewhere like petrol station and eat that way or buy and make in van? It’ll be in 3 odd weeks time so probably rain a bit. So would sites be best or wild? And last about washing. Is it awkward to clean yourself up when going around. Again love this post. Thanks 🙏
Hi !! Do it !! Woo Hoo !! There are no problems and we always say ... what is the worst that can happen ? you go home !! LOL Washing is easy ... do it like your grandma ... get a bucket of hot soapy water and a sponge and start from the top !! You use almost no water and then shower it off ! There are laundrettes for clothes and eat cheap in the van and buy local !! We bought Trudy (she is the same model my dad had !!) and live simple and easy and free .... Please let us know where you end up and .... what are you waiting for !! do it !! PS - pick the weather and enjoy !! M xx
My partner is in travel business and we are impressed how the Irish tourist board has turned its tourist trade around ,in the last few years ,I love Wales also another beautiful country gob smacking beautiful , I live in London well just outside by Richmond park ,East Sheen now being swallowed up by greater London .the problem buying a camper vehicle is we have no where to put it ,but we are thinking of hiring and doing Europe,my partner is Polish and on my three trips there to different parts of the country I have been impressed the last town for her brothers wedding being Woch happy travels have fun our spirit is with you .
We loved Ireland - all of it ..... and we understand why you would love Wales too - we are from Shropshire and we border Wales .... it is glorious too - definitely try a 6m van - the layout in Trudy means you have everything you need .... Kind regards Marianne and Chris - PS we are yet to do Poland ... but we will be driving through in March 2020 !! 🚐💚😍🚙💕👍
You cannot beat a good quality Cornish Pasty - they are so delicious! We had our best ever cream tea at Crackington Haven - salivating watching this guys 👍🙂

If you have travelled Ireland and want to add any advice - or if you have any questions that aren't covered in this video then put a comment below and then we will answer them. - thanks for watching
You are true about the locals: they are very friendly. I went to Ireland in the 90s. Toured the Ring of Kerry and saw the tour bus go almost halfway off the cliff to make a turn. Yes, the roads are tiny, but I had one of the best times of my life. Thanks for the video! From America.
fluffyduckbutter's sister probably too late but Ring of Kerry 😍
@fluffyduckbutter's sister the cheapest place to buy right now is County Leitrim.
Lots of liveable small cottages and farmhouses, even cheaper if you buy to fix up.
It's near the coast, (even has a tiny coastline of a few km) near the border with the UK, has the Shannon Blueway with great rivers loughs and canals, lots of mountains and hiking trails.
However it can be wet due to the bad weather coming in off the Atlantic, and with the mountains and loughs, that encourages precipitation.
County Leitrim will benefit from extra government spending this year on town centre improvements, cycle paths, road upgrades, tourist advertising, other things.
Hope that helps.
Loved the video about Ireland. I would love to visit there. I do have a questions, I'm from the US. I understand that we drive on the opposite sides of the road from u all. Do u think it would be hard to drive there??? R the road signs pretty easily read also? Keep up the great work.
@fluffyduckbutter's sister You r one lucky person!!!! Wish u the best!!!! Its my dream to go too.
Thank you for being positive about Ireland , your always welcome 🇮🇪 great to hear you enjoyed it so much
Glad you liked the video - we had a blast and loved every aspect of our experience !! we will be back in 2019 and can't wait - Hope you enjoy the other vlogs 😃🚐💜👍
This is one off the best descriptions off traveling in Ireland .. I’m happy you enjoy my beautiful country . Safe driving on your future destinations 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Hi - Why thank you, we had such a fabulous experience and had to share it !!! We hope you enjoy our video series too 😍💜🚐💜🇮🇪💜
Thank you for your kind words about ireland and the irish. It means so much. Your welcome back anytime. There is a pint of Guinness waiting for you guys when you return.
Hi Robert - you are welcome .... to be honest we have fallen in love ..... we will see you for that pint one day 😂😘💚🚐👍kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
As a Brit who’s lives in Ireland for 10 years, theirs a couple of points that might help you. Those washing machines are also in most supermarket car parks as well. You also missed out on the coastal town car parks, as they’re now being set up especially for camper vans with bins, waste disposal and water facilities. Here in Cobh (and a lot more tourist towns that I’ve found) theirs specific parking spaces especially for campers These are normally about €10 a night and are right in the tourist hotspots
Those are great tips - thank you - we will be back next summer so that is very useful - Thanks 😍👍💚
TREAD the globe I’m based down in Cobh, just off the coast from cork, and around the coast from kinsale. Give me a shout next time you come over, I’ll give you some tips on places to visit. We have a drive way you can park on and use of our facilities. I love spreading the word of how beautiful this country is, and would recommend anyone to come over and explore it.
Hi 👍 That is sooo kind - thank you very much - well we love spreading the word too !!! we absolutely have fallen in love with Ireland and will always come back !! - thank you again for your offer and if we are your way !! we will be there 😊😂🤗💚 kind regards Marianne xx
So so nice to hear all your complimentary comments for us Irish people and great that you had such a lovely experience in our country. Yes we are very friendly and when we meet really nice people like you we don't want to part from such good company. Enjoy the rest of your road travels
Thank you! 😃 We loved it for sure !! 💚🚐💃 We are currently on a road trip in Turkey until the borders open again and then we will go into Georgia / Russia and then beyond !! woo hoo - kind regards Marianne xx
Absolute stunning country i worked for a company driving lorries in the netherlands and we used to deliver to various places in ireland and i always found the irish people to be the most hospitable and helpfull people ive come accross infact these people have such good local knowlage it was unreal and i could ask anyone where a place was that i had to find and they could tell me each and every detail to get to where i needed to be and that knowage never once failed me thank you to everyone i met whilst there and i shall return again someday probably in a camper van😎👍
So true Philip - the people are stunners - we have left a bit of our hearts there and will be back .... maybe see you in your van !! 💚🚐😍 kind regards Marianne and Chris 👍😃
I spent three days in a rural bar In Ireland. I was part of a film crew. It seemed the whole village turned out, all 37 of them. I went in with 60 quid and came out with 60 quid!
That is just one example of the fabulousness of the Irish !! They are generous and so sweet hearted !! It was a pleasure and an honour to have met so many beautiful people 💚🚐🌸🙌🌺 We will be going back without a doubt !! kind regards Marianne xx
It's really beautiful to hear such a lovely review of my country. Welcoming visitors is a large part of our national pride and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. Thank you for saying such kind words about my home.
Hi Rory - thank you for your comment, we loved our time in Ireland and will be back in the future ... so many people want to know our top 3 places in the world ... and Ireland will always be there ... we loved it and felt as though we have left a part of our hearts there ... with all the beauty, kindness and new friendships we have made .... absolutely loved it !! Super happy you enjoyed our video and will always say the best things about Ireland as it was fabulous !! Kind regards and hugs to Ireland 🤗😍💚🚐👍 Marianne and Chris xx
Absolutely true
Ohh this is so true! I went to Ireland for a week, hitchhiking, and the problem is not getting picked up, the problem is, they won't let you go! They want to buy you lunch and coffee and drive you anywhere, show you everything, tell you everything! They are amazing, I love the Irish so much! And I will definitely consider taking my van there once I have one! Thank you for this very helpful video :)
Helllooooo 😂😂😂hilarious !!! yes - everyone was amazing 💚😍😘💚😍Ireland is a must go / must do destination - thank you for your lovely comment 👍💚🚐💕 kind regards Marianne and Chris xxx
You guys should be paid by Bord Failte, the Irish tourist Board, for your tips and winkles for traveling the Wild Atlantic Way. This is so practical even for Irish Motorhomers. Thank you for your positivity and wisdom and sense of fun and adventure! Happy travels in Trudy😊🙃😍
Hi Marie - thank you sooo much for your lovely comment ..... If they want to pay us that would be cool !!! And then we could come back sooner !!! As we will be back in 2019 ........ will do a big shout out and hopefully meet one day 😉🤗🚌💜 kind regards M xx
Thank you for recommending Ireland it's a beautiful country and I'm proud to be Irish and I'm proud about your comments about my country and I hope to see you all over there again soon look after yourself enjoy travelling around the world in your camper
Our pleasure! We feel that we left a piece of our hearts in Ireland and we will be back in the future .... 💚
We followed your route in September, and whilst the weather was not as kind to us, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Everything you have said is spot on.
Hi David - thank you for your comment 👍💜🚐😀 We are so glad you enjoyed your trip - yep we share our experiences as they are .... and I think it would be hard not to feel the love in Ireland 💜🌺 M xx
I love your channel. Very true about Ireland. People and country is incredible. Thank you for being so forthcoming about this incredibly lovely place. A true gem of a country. I like your channel so much that you now have a new subscriber. Thank you. Enjoy
Hi Deborah - Thank you so much for your kind words .... It is very easy to be complimentary about Ireland .... we have fallen head over heals and loved every aspect - kind regards M xxxx
Hey guys. We stayed at the cliffs in kilkee on your last night there. ( the green vw t4). Watching this makes me excited to go round ireland again!!! (Even though I live in Ireland!)

I have to say that's the best review i've ever seen on my search for motor home living etc. I'll be watching a lot of you now.
Thank you Peapod Fairy 🤗🌺
A lovely video. Most people including myself who move back to Ireland from abroad gain what's called a new found appreciation for the place.
Hi Kelvin - absolutely ... we have no doubt that people will appreciate Ireland even more now 🌺🎉💚🤗💐
I appreciate your lovely compliments about my lovely homeland and so glad you both enjoyed your travels, a thousand welcomes as we say.
Hi Jean - we had the best time and fell in love with your beautiful country xx thank you for the welcomes 😉😍🚐💚👍Kind regards Marianne and Chris xx

what a beautiful couple, Thanks for talking so nice about my country xx.
Our pleasure! You have an amazing country full of beautiful places and people - we will be back for sure x
Great video. I live in Northern Ireland, quite close to the Causeway in fact. I can confirm your statement on fuel prices between the both countries. Diesel is much cheaper in the South compared to the North. Petrol is the opposite dearer in the South. I discovered this fact when I changed from diesel to petrol.
HI Jim - thank you for your comment - it is good to know 😍💚🚐👍kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
As an Irish person, thank you for your kind words. We are a friendly lot really, with or without the Guinness :) Slainte!
You are more than welcome - we were welcome too !! we loved Ireland and we are truly blessed to have met some of the best people in the world !!! Who we now consider our best friends - we are glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy the series 👍💜😍
This feedback was lovely to hear ❤️I’m Irish too 😊what a lovely couple
Subscribed! First time viewer. Thank you very much for this. I have no plans to go to Ireland in my campervan however it is now a serious consideration. Great video guys you are great ambassadors for the van community - a lovely couple and I hope you go on and have lots of amazing ventures.
Thank you for your Sub !! - absolutely fabulous place xx 💚😍💚😍👍 thank you for your kind comment too 💜 that is very thoughtful and sweet - enjoy your travels too - all the best Marianne and Chris 👍😍
I so enjoyed this video. I immigrated to Ireland in 2017 from South Africa, and am yet to explore this beautiful island. We've done the ring of Kerry a couple of times because it's so beautiful, but I wasn't aware that the busses run anti-clockwise. Great tip, because I came face to face with some busses on some very dodgy roads.
Oh that is great to hear - we have just shipped to Durban as we are now on an expedition to get ourselves and Trudy around the world !! Enjoy Ireland - we loved it !!
So glad to see you guys enjoying yourselves
Hi Fred - we had the best time and would be back in a heartbeat 🚐💚😍😉👍
Thank you for this video. I am planning a stint in Ireland with my motorhome, and your stories and tips make a difference.
Glad it was helpful! You will have an awesome time !! Ireland was a magnificent adventure and we made some lifelong friends 🌺🚐💚
Fabulous video guys. Thank you for the tips. Heading off on our first weekend vanning.
Love from Ireland💚
Awesome - have a great time and we will be back once we have completed this challenge 🚐🌺

Hi Maria - we can see why you go back ........ it is the best !!! sounds like you are having a great time 😍🚐 👍 we hope you enjoy our vlogs on our travels in and around Ireland - kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
I have just posted I couldn't find the rest of the videos you had been pointing to, after looking around I found them. Delighted I did. I am delighted you had such beautiful weather when you visited. Thank both of you for the way you promoted Ireland, I think you guys should get some recognition from the Irish tourist board, maybe they just might like to say thank you with a gift of cash are a 5 star holiday here next time you return to Ireland 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️💚💚💚
Thanks Pat - sorry we are on a drive in Alaska at the moment and the internet and time driving are causing me to be delayed in replying !! But yes we loved our time in Ireland and Chris created a playlist to help find the videos - I hope you are enjoying them xx Kind regards Marianne xx
I'm half way through and hearing nothing but positive word for irealand.
Love the accent and love ireland. So glad u enjoyed it.
I can't wait to go back and see the beauty again. Love the traveling videos. Well done xx
Hi - we could say nothing but lovely things about Ireland - we fell in love as soon as we got there 💚🚐🤗👍 best wishes Marianne xx
Great video guys, if you ever come back be sure to visit Ballyheigue and stay with us.
Hi James - thanks for the comment and so pleased that you enjoyed this video - we had the best time in Ireland and loved every minute of our adventure there. I'm sure we drove through Ballyheigue on our travels. Keep in touch - we'll be back for sure., not sure when . - may be after the around the world drive !! Chris & Marianne 😎👍🚐
So many people have told me that I look 'Irish'... I have always taken that as a compliment. Now I know it is a compliment of highest order. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Ireland and the warmth of the Irish people. Thank you for the tips and pointers as well. May your path be free of all obstacles. (It's a Turkish thing, don't worry.)
Love that! Thank you for your lovely comment - you will love Ireland - We hope to meet you both on the road and keep in touch - Marianne xx
What a fab video, and what a wonderful life you live. I myself live in the beautiful County Donegal, and it is a wonderful place to be, but now I'm very tempted to buy a little van and travel the globe. Enjoy your travels and thanks for sharing. x
Hi Marion - thank you for your lovely comments - I hope you saw our video about Donegal !!! I even did the bridge jump !!! and was part of the most beautiful wedding ..... ahhh the memories xxx kind regards Marianne xx
Ah this is deadly, so so glad you both had a brilliant time in Ireland. It's what you make of it and you both certainly sound like you made the most of it rain or sunshine. Pitch your van up again soon, don't be strangers. 😁 PS you both should visit ALL the little islands on the west coast especially Donegals and Galways.
Thanks !!! we really will be back ..... we loved every minute of every day !! we hope to get to the Islands in 2019 - but if we don't we will be back again !!! we don't think we could resist !! ha ha - totally in love ........ 💜😍😄

Hi Patrick - thank you for the comment / follow - sorry for the delay in replying - we have fallen completely in love with Ireland and will be back next year at some point - but will continue to journey around the Central America for 5 months first xxx
as an Irish person I was delighted with your positive view of touring Ireland, I love this country. it's just the people running it I have doubts about lol
just one thing, its the Cliffs of Moher (Mower as in lawn mower!) all the best
Wir sind im September mit unserem Campervan 4 Wochen auf dem Wild Atlantic Way unterwegs und eure Filme bereiten uns schon eine große Vorfreude
We hope you have a wonderful adventure 🚐💚
Excellent advice 👍👍👍 many Thanks now we’ve got our new van and with your advice we are all set to go over there next year 👍
Best Regards 👍😀🐾
Great stuff - you will love the whole of Ireland 💜🚌🌺 Enjoy your travels xx
Enjoyed meeting you at Carlingford and keeping in touch with your travels since. Safe journeys.
Thanks! You too! thanks for the message !! 💐
Thanks for such a great video, I really enjoyed it. I soon will be a newby to the world of the motorhome and I can’t wait. So all videos of information, tips etc are all welcome. I lost my mother a few years ago and her will has been rather complicated and very much drawn out but at last it’s soon to be settled and mother bless her always knew that I dreamed of owning a motorhome and now thanks to her that dream will soon be coming true. So if you see a bloke in a motorhome with two black Labradors with a smile from ear to ear on your travels, it just could be me.
Hi Jonathan, I am sorry for your loss and send big hugs your way ..... Keep us posted and DM us on FB to let us know when you get on the road, we will be about in the summer / autumn and will be taking Trudy back to Ireland and NI - so you might see us too !! I am so happy you have found your way into the Moho world - never a dull day, and the community is a beautiful family ... keep in touch 🤗😍👍💐💚🚐 kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
That tip about the Ring of Kerry is pure gold!!
Thankyou im from Co DUBLIN.And its lovely 2 hear you enjoyed your holidays here.we traveled a lot when our boys were young.they are in there 30s now an we are 50.
Sowe decided to downsize and run away lol for a month or 2...starting in UK and then spain...on a budget.and yes a good coffee machine .great idea...i loved your video.cant wait 2 see more.
Godbless you on your travels.

Lovely video! I was looking for vids on places to camp in Ireland and watched this one. Thanks for the tips! And totally agree, Ireland is a gorgeous country filled with gorgeous people. We loved our visit last year so much we're buying a house and moving there next year. Perhaps one day, we'll run into you. :)
Hi Annie - what a fabulous place to move to !! We absolutely loved it - lucky you xx We will defo be back ... so we might bump into you 💚🚐🤗🙌 Kind regards and thanks for watching our videos xx Kind regards Marianne xx
Thanks for the great info. We arrive in May 2020 for a Lap of Ireland in a motorhome.
Hi Rodney - you will have a great time and May is a great month !! 😍🌺🚐💜 Enjoy and have a Guinness for us !! kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
@@TREADtheglobe Ok thanks, is there a list for where we can Free Camp or Wild Camp?
Hi Rodney - we followed the WAW and also used park4night or if all else failed we looked on google maps from the satellite and you can see laybys or spaces to park at dead ends - on the WAW we stopped in all the viewing points and also at pubs along the way (ask first, but everyone we went to was happy for us to stayover if you eat or drink) Enjoy and happy travels xx
@@TREADtheglobe Can you tell where to stay in Galway. Seems it is not an RV Friendly City?
Hi Rodney - have you tried Claddagh Quay (half a km from the city centre) or I know that a few of the car parks in Galway no longer let vans / Mohos in 😳🙄🤔 - good luck and let me know if you get it sorted - we have used park4night and in fact i have just signed us up as it might be fun to add new places around the world !! Kind regards Marianne xx 🚐🌺🙌
Thanks for a Positive comment on the Irish people you are Very Welcome any time , Its nice to be nice .
Agreed !! As my mum used to say - if you have nothing nice to say .... you know the rest !! LOL 😉 Kind regards Marianne
You scared me there, I thought u were going to say we were un friendly I spoke with you on carlinfgord peer, rem you got the best summer weather in prob 20 yrs , great review tks for ur vids on Ireland, hopefully more UK people will visit
Ha Ha - how could we say bad things - this was our best time yet !!! - we loved that spot and will be planning a trip back in 2019 to catch up with friends and do a bit of planning for a challenge we have set ourselves in 2020 !! - so keep an eye out for us again xx😍🌺👍
get the kettle on girl.....were on our way
Finally someone from louth on a yt video
I'm English and spend much time in my van, always been interested in Ireland but because of politics thought I wouldn't be welcome, how wrong was I, I must come. X
@@simongalbraith7849 you are 100% welcome here in Ireland. Irish and English people have always been a close community as you know 1000's of Irish people emigrated to England through the years. It might be true when playing football or rugby 😀 apart from that we are a close people and all will get a good welcome. Cheers.
Great tips and ideas both! We did the Scotland northcoast500 back in June in a hired RV and experienced very similar things, wild camping for example! Thanks for a super video😀👍👍👍
Hi 🤗 Thanks for your comment, sounds great !!! Scotland is so wild and beautiful isn't it ? 💜 glad you liked the video 😀👍
Duncannon beach is only about 20 minutes from me. It's a lovely spot. Next time you come back, make sure to visit the Copper Coast here in Waterford if you haven't yet. Also rent some bicycles if you don't have any and cycle the Déise Greenway here. It's very scenic. If you need any other spots, just let me know. I've drove from tip to tip many times.
That is so helpful - thank you again Sean - TBH Duncannon was the first time we had ever parked on a beach !! so it is really special to me - we did drive some of the Copper Coast ... but when we come back we would love to do some cycling 💚👍🚐- Thank you - Marianne and Chris xx
Delighted you guys had a great time here .people for the most part here would have no problem helping anyone .we had an English couple broke down in the snow here last February and we towed them to our house and they stayed with us for two nights in a little cottage we had just done up in our yard till there camper was fixed they were overwhelmed and still
stay in contact to this day ! You guys are great lovely video !come back again 😊
Well there we are !!! another fabulous heartfelt story of kindness and compassion 💕💚😘🚐how lovely ..... we will be back and we will come in Trudy as we are all in love with Ireland - kind regards Marianne xx
Imgladimhere klitschko what kind folk you are! 😍
Loved the video, the title made me worry you'd had a terrible experience. Glad you enjoyed our beautiful little country. Hope you can come back some time. Slain abhaile 🍀🇮🇪❤️
I hope so too! We loved our time and will be back for sure !
Ireland is beautiful 😍 Irish were kind and amiable .. Honduras ♥️
Had an amazing time in Ireland! Great people and a great place to stay. Amazing views, mountain biking was fun too.
Absolutely loved Ireland .... we would recommend it to anyone and have to say it was the easiest place to fall in love ..... all over again !! 🤗😍🚐🙌 best wishes Marianne xx
Just a little tip, when coming into Dublin by ferry and using the port tunnel any motorhome (OVER 3.5 TON) is free.....if your motorhome is 3.5 ton you will be charged it has to be over.....to use for free
I've lived here for 18 years and I've only ever travelled the west coast once. Time to go back I think! Thankyou.
We are coming in 2023 so I appreciate your your hints. Safe travels.
Just a fabulous country
Great video guys. Really happy you enjoyed Ireland. Great country and people.
Hi Mark - Thank you for your comment, we really had a blast ..... and will definitely be going back !! Absolutely right about the people and scenery !! 🤗😍👍
Loved the vid,
Me and my partner (she is originally from up in the North of Ireland) went there and Hired a motorhome from Belfast in February after doing a canal boat in England. We traveled north to Bushmills and then headed west to do the Atlantic Way all the way to the bottom and then Waterford before finishing up in Dublin to fly to the Canary Islands before flying home to Australia. We mainly parked behind pubs outside of towns which was dangerous as we got to party with some amazing locals.
The narrow roads were a challenge but because it was winter we did not have much traffic to pass.
Our biggest problem was if we wanted to park up at a van park, most were shut because it was off season. And most the car parks have bars at the entrance so only cars can get in.
Most of our friends here thought we were crazy going that time of year but we got lucky and got home before the virus and they have had to cancel holidays.
Love Ireland and the very friendly people. cheers.
Ha Ha - it is really easy to fall in love with Ireland !! We loved it and will be back to do more of Ireland 💚 and of course drink more Guinness !! best wishes and we might meet up on the road !! kind regards Marianne xx
Welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪 we are the friendliest ppl going. Keep coming back. X
HI Keith - you are soooo right !!! we had a blast and will always consider ourselves blessed to have spent 12 of the best weeks of our lives with such amazing people 💜😍🌴🔅 thanks for your lovely comment kind regards Marianne and Chris xxx

I’m going to Ireland the 26 of October through the 9 of November. We live in Hawaii and really enjoyed your video
Fantastic !!
Great video! Thanks for posting! My son (23 yrs) and I (61 yrs) are planning a trip in this spring (May/June 2024). We're thinking of renting a camper van as we are already avid campers in the United States. Wondering if those wild campsites are still available 5 years after your trip. I'm seeing information that wild camping isn't allowed. Anyway, thank you so much! It was very helpful!
Sounds great! If you download park4night that is one that UK and Euorpe van / moho use to find the latest information 👍
@@TREADtheglobe Thank you! 👍
Hi,I’m from the hills of donegal,I’m glad you enjoyed your trip,we have a Mazda bongo camper set up,and every time we get a day off we just take a trip to the coast, 😁👍
Hi Tina - sounds lovely - what a perfect spot you live in xx we were lucky enough to spend some time there as our friends got married near the airport 💚we shared that too on our vlogs Marianne xx
Beware of the locals 😂 shur we,re always here for the bit of craic .nice review of our little isle

Welcome aboard!
@@TREADtheglobe We were surprised to find out your Turkey adventures and will be watching them as a family on the tv screen. Thank you! :)
That was a great video on Ireland❤
Glad you enjoyed it
The road system in Ireland is designed to weed out the weak😂
Hi Hugo !!! then I have passed ? as I loved the roads 😍🚐💚👍💃😂kind regards Marianne xx
Yeah but they slow you down and force you to chill out lol
Thank you for a great video. We have watched you both for quite a while.
Awesome! Thank you!
Haha I love this video!!! Going traveling Ireland in a van soon this was very informative and thank you for the compliment 🇮🇪😂😂
Love Ireland - Love Irish People - can not say enough lovely words to describe the amount of fun and love we felt - I cried when we left !! 💚🤗😍🚐🙌😘 have a fabulous time and send our love - Marianne xx
Fantastic ❤ I live in the west of Ireland
lovely country.god bless,travelled many ayear cross the sea to ireland, mostly donegal,its heaven to me,all the best
Well said !!! absolutely stunning - we had the best time and I think Chris did Ireland proud - he has only just started but managed to capture the beauty every time !!! YAY !! M xx💜🌺😍
Glad you had a great time over here in Ireland, love your comments ❤
We really did !!! - thank you xx Chris managed to get some great drone shots on the series ... I hope you enjoy those too - kind regards Marianne xx
I would try and attach my rubbish to the outside of my van get a bike carrier and support your rubbish by fixing it in between it ,love what your doing ,did it in France wow it was amazing xxx Good luck .
Hi 😍Thank you for the tip (super useful) So lovely to hear that vanlife France was great too - kind regards Marianne xx😉👍🚐
From an Oirish line of MacDonalds who fraternised with the O'Donnells (dust not settled yet)... SO love my link... daring-do bunch of lawless merrymakers... have mixed with French-Hugenot stock in SA... what a damn mix... Godspeed you lovely peeps...so nice to see a happy couple ...well matched... safe journeys & huge hugs...
Wowsers - thank you for your lovely comment 😂😉😍💚🚐best wishes Marianne and Chris xx
Ireland is GREAT! We picked up a campervan in Navan and heading towards Waterford on to the ring of Kerry and then headed all the way up to Galway and then headed back to Dublin and took a ferry to the UK.
Fantastic !! What an adventure !! 💚🚐💜 best wishes Marianne xx
lovely couple, thanks for sharing their trip. I hope to do the same in a few months with my husband as well.
Hi Julianne - that is great, we loved Ireland and could not recommend it enough - so much beauty and friendship 🚐💚💐👍 Enjoy and best wishes Marianne xx
good call to heed the road signs especially for connors pass. Coming from Dingle would be fine, it's getting down the other side that would have you shaking . You could chance it in a small camper. And thanks for saying such lovely things about us Irish but of course not everyone is nice. i'm glad you met some good ones.
Hi Marie - thank you for your message, we did indeed meet fabulous people - glad you enjoyed the video and hope you are having an OK time during this situation 💐🙌🚐🙏💚
Thank you , I love your video. My dream is to return to Ireland. To see the entire country, every nook and cranny. You just lightened my heart. ☺️🇨🇦🍀👍💐🥰
Go for it! It was one of our favourite road trips !! 💚
OMG you’ve completely ruined my plans as I’ve been watching your video, I’m off to Ireland. Really really good tips and hints (can’t bring myself to use the new 'Hacks' word… Where did that come from?). Thanks.
Another good tip when travelling in Ireland is to click the option on your Sat Nav to avoid motorways!
ha ha good tip LOL - Trudy is allergic to big roads 😂🤗😍🚐💚kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
Sure sounds like you two had a lovely time! Thanks for this video!
Hi - yes we really did have the best time 💚🤗🚐💕kind regards Marianne xx
Glad you enjoyed your visit! Touristy areas better set up for wild camping than other places in the midlands, due to misuse by Travellers. Different rates of excise duty in the UK and Ireland, thus cheaper diesel in the South at the moment. In your 3 months, and however many thousand KM travelled, did you meet a single Garda or traffic checkpoint? Enjoy the warm weather in Spain, and I'm looking forward to more blogs.
Especially Germany.
Hi Nigel 👍 thanks for the info - yep to true
We drove 4.5 K Miles and our only encounter with Garda was one car pulled up behind us and checked that we were OK and just asked us what our plans were. Yep Spain is very warm - we have managed to swim nearly everyday !! 💜🌴 but it is not as much fun without the Chunky Dunkers !!! M xx
I love this. I’m debating hiring a vw camper for very first time. I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 and just turned 50 and finished cancer treatment and always wanted to do this. You as a couple remind me of myself and my wife. You sound lovely 😆😆😆
We have a little dog who is very shy but when sees other dogs he almost cries to see them but it comes across aggressive ( he’s a Cavachon) . It’s like an angry teddy bear. Did you encounter many dogs on your way?
Also eating, is it best to pull up somewhere like petrol station and eat that way or buy and make in van?
It’ll be in 3 odd weeks time so probably rain a bit. So would sites be best or wild? And last about washing. Is it awkward to clean yourself up when going around.
Again love this post. Thanks 🙏
Hi !! Do it !! Woo Hoo !!
There are no problems and we always say ... what is the worst that can happen ? you go home !! LOL
Washing is easy ... do it like your grandma ... get a bucket of hot soapy water and a sponge and start from the top !! You use almost no water and then shower it off ! There are laundrettes for clothes and eat cheap in the van and buy local !! We bought Trudy (she is the same model my dad had !!) and live simple and easy and free ....
Please let us know where you end up and .... what are you waiting for !! do it !! PS - pick the weather and enjoy !! M xx
great video. happy travels.
Thanks Richard 👍
