The smiling faces and excitement of all the children just melts my heart. The kindness of strangers restores my faith in humanity. It's been a difficult Christmas due to myself and autistic son catching covid 11 days ago. Thank you for making me smile ❤ Safe travels to you both and to all the wonderful Indian people you will meet along the way xx
Sorry to hear that, hope you are through the worst of it now 💜
Covid is still spreading? I thought its gone
@@amit5943 yeah again many countries started wearing masks
What an amazing statue! India…. You and your people are so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🌈
It’s fantastic how you can find a mechanic or at least a knowledgeable amateur at every stop. I’d never heard of the statue. It looked impressive.
I honestly can’t help smiling when I see all these smiling Indian faces. They are so joyful and their smiles are contagious.
A lot of vloggers from USA and UK show India in a good way in order to get views from Indians.
A lot of Koreans, Russian and Latin American vloggers show India in a bad way to get views.
However what I liked about your vlogs is that you are just sharing your real experiences in India and not trying too hard to show India in a good or bad way.
Just showing how we find it, the good and bad 🙏
Who's vloger say bad words for India please tell me
Maybe they treat white tourists differently?
I mostly saw Koreans showing India in good view
But doesn't matter, anything bad must be exposed so its a lesson for us
The smiles on the men pushing Pete was priceless. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Haha they were loving it
You guys owe a lot to kind indians who helped every time the Pete broke down. They went out of their way to put your journey on course. I wonder if you would have got so much help at every step in any other country!
Probably not, definitely not the UK anyway
Everyone should experience the sheer exuberance of India. They are the most helpful, generous and smiley people but not for the feignt hearted. Go India ❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
A common saying- India is not for beginners.
That statue was unbelievable. Makes the Angel of the North seem not worthy by comparison.
Such lovely kind people! ❤
The country is full of them
TRUE!!!!!!!🥰
You are a lovely couple, in a wonderful state of a great country. Enjoy the hospitality of this amazing country.
Thank you! 😃

Second that
Every time I watch an episode I want to drive to the airport and catch a flight to India
Haha that's great, you should!
Hello there, Sheel from Oshawa Ontario Canada. Many years ago I actually worked in a factory where the 3 wheeler "auto rickshaws" were manufactured. (The Bajaj Auto Limited).
The rickshaws are not designed for long distance driving. It's meant for commuting within a city. The fact that Pete is holding up (despite the series of recent breakdowns) is really creditable.
You may connect with the manufacturer or their dealer in the city you are in, I believe they may see it as an opportunity for some innovation in their product (and may be help you with regular checkups and servicing in your journey). Just saying. Take care.
ThNk you will bear that in mind 😍
12:58 when that girl said you visited my Maharashtra 😍😍😍😍
They way you show off India is fantastic keep up the good work your smiles say it all ✌🏼❤️💛💚🖤
Wow Just wow... how big was that Statue... just amazing, its how I imagine the Colossus looked... Merry Christmas guys, 🎄
Haha yes for sure, built by titans
Another brilliant video, thanks! That statue is awe-inspiring indeed. Loved seeing your young subscriber say hello to us all!
WOW...that statue made me really emotional, it must've been amazing to see... now on my bucket list :) Good old Pete what a trooper. Happy Christmas guys, may 2024 bring you everything you wish for yourselves x
Yeah I know what you mean, the statue definitely delivers its purpose 😍
The..girl who invited you to Maharashtra ❤❤❤ she has passion for her state .....in her request you can see pride n love fornher state....... ❤❤❤❤
Seasons greetings to you both from Ireland 🇮🇪 here. Good luck with your travels 👍👍👍
Thank you, hope you had a great Christmas if you celebrated it 😊
@@ThoseHappyDays in Ireland 🇮🇪 we most definitely celebrated it mark my words 🥃🥃🥃
I absolutely love your India trips.
We love having you with us ✨️🙏
India is simply amazing. Everyone should experience it
yet another thrilling experience, and you guys are really incredible and kind 😊
Thank you so much! Happy Christmas
Merry Christmas, dear Janine and Liam-- your videos are the so beautifully recorded/edited, thoughtfully narrated, and always interesting! I've witnessed Australians, americans, brits and others from around the world on YT traveling in India and not one of them receive the welcoming smiles that you two elicit. The Indian people can see that you took your journey in India up several notches to make it uniquely personal and memorable! They respect and love you for that. Indian people are highly entrepreneurial as well as hardworking (this distinguishes them from China) and warmly welcome you as natives. You're highly favored in India, as you should be! Now that's a traveler! Thank you and happy new year, my dears! 🥰
Indians greet foreigners with smile and open arms , because there's a concept in india called "Atithi Deva Bhava," means "Guest is equivalent to God".
This cultural belief, ingrained since childhood, explains why some shopkeepers refuse money from foreigners. Keep an eye on videos, and you might notice this gesture.
And this adventurous couple who took a bold step, buying a tuk-tuk to explore India's vast expanse, spanning over 3 million square kilometers. Quite a daring move, don't you think?
Great . . . . . you're getting along nicely 😃 . . . . . .those roadside workshops for tuk tuks are brilliant .!
They are fab and a welcome sight
Best place in India, lovely Gujarat
Love Gujarat
nice songs - India is the greatest I have been to many countries - not for everyone but the greatest for me
Hope you’ve had a good Christmas. Just watched your last video. Don’t worry about little Pete he’s going to get you to the north. He might be tampered mental but he keeps going and I can’t believe how warm and welcoming Indian people are and how helpful they’ve been to you and little Pete Hope you have a good New Year. Looking forward to seeing you get to the north 👍
Across India...they will be able to find mechanics to fix any issues that vehicle...smallest towns to biggest cities! That's the advantage of using it. Pretty sure they will complete their entire trip with the auto rickshaw!!
Thank you for your faith 🙏
Amazing video, super amazing statue of unity and not forgetting the lovely people you met along the way. 💚
Couldn't agree more! Happy Christmas 🎄 🙏
Merry Christmas! So many people helping you on your adventure. Glad Pete is holding out. I like your new shirt Liam. Janine you are looking great. No winter cough this year. Stay safe and happy travels xx
Thank you for all the compliments and feedback, we hope you are having a great Christmas 🙏🎄
Patel is here . yours very welcome
You really should get a lucky Ganesh for Petes dashboard.
We did but he fell off! If you look at the dash next time you will see a round circle, that was ganesha's base
You will definitely reach North India. Hope you both had a great Christmas 😊
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas ✨️🙏
It’s due to India’s open-minded and tolerant culture that those tribes still exist as they did today. Every nation had tribal folk, but most of them were governed by monotheistic ideologies that wanted more homogenous populations (as they’re easier to appeal to or control). Amazing India, and you guys are doing an amazing job of taking the inevitable downs on the chin!
Thank you
You both are really genuine people. One of the most thing I have noticed that you really mix with Indian people so easily and never complain about the situation you are in. I have seen many European vloggers, they just see the negative side of India than the plenty of Positive side of India. And hats off for your courage for travelling through tuk tuk across India that too over the crowded place.
Thank you for noticing, it's very important in India to just go with the flow
Beautiful film guys. We send Janine healing vibes from Spain and hope you're getting some chill time over the festive season❤️
Thank you ✨️🙏
The statue is built with the metal donated by farmers all over India. He is the actual Father of the Union of India.
Great video of India 😊 very enjoyable ❤
Another brilliant show India looks amazing
You guys won our hearts❤❤❤ love you guys....sooon you will reach to 100 million for sure....
💜💜💜
Hi Guys!lovely to see you back on yr journey, poor Pete tho!! you have documented India so well, all the lovely places and the people are extraordinary, the food looks delicious always, what a challenge glad yous are ok, take care enjoy the rest of yr journey, all the best ❤❤
Guys I watch loads of youtubers but you guys are knocking it out the park every video your content and
Positive attitude no matter what is inspirational
Can I respectively suggest that yes keep your mobile home but
Continue with forien
Travels you guys
Have the natural ability to explore and embrace different cultures
❤
Thanks for that, we take that as a huge compliment 🙏
Merry Christmas to you both xx love following your adventures
Highlight of my Christmas looking forward to and watching this. How your bones put up with all the rattling and shaking in Pete astounds me but as you said, it's your challenge. Thank you 💕
My love and blessings for a successful trip to north India. You guys will make it just with your perseverance and hard work. Love you💚👍
Thank you so much 🙏✨️
Another fabulous journey, I so appreciate the effort you put into these videos and always look forward to seeing a new post from you both. The music choices are always absolutely spot on and it a real pleasure to follow your journey. I hope you both managed to get a good rest over the Christmas period too and wishing you many more splendid adventures in 2024. Thank you for these superb videos! Happy New Year!
Here's to a Bright and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas guys. ❤🎄I was thinking what you might have done on Christmas in India.
You have emotional attachment with Pete but it is restricting your time in India. If you keep bringing it to the mechanics they can always revive it from dead like Phoneix so there is no end to it 😊 You will have more comfortable journey with another vehicle but then you will miss out on amazing locals who help you with Pete. It might have been overused to its engine capacity through motorways. Maybe one day someone will make a movie on you guys 😊
As per usual Liam and Janine your put together an ABSOLUTELY SUPERB vlog ❤ I didn't know anything about the statue of unity until I watched your vlog Omg the breakdowns and festival overwhelm. If it's any consolation it's bloody crazy where I am at 7am. There's blasting music all night and then again at 7am 🙈 It will subside though once the festive period is over. It's the current tourism that's disturbing me 🙈 but I'm managing ok.
A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to both of you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope your adventure continues with less disruptions from Pete. I grew up in India and I'd never dare to do what you are doing. Rikshaws are not made for going such long distances...you guys are BRAVE adventurers! And please stay healthy....rains typically bring mosquitos. Wishing a Happy New Year and a great journey ahead.
Thank you, we love an adventure
How amazing you got to see the Vallabhbhai Patel statue, a brilliant man indeed. Good ol' Pete just keeps on going, it's admirable though I'm sure also nerve-wracking for you but so glad you've met so many lovely helpful people, as someone else said, it certainly restores my faith in humanity too. Looking forward to whatever happens next.
Merry Christmas to this beautiful couple,,,keep exploring india guys,,,
Thank you! Will do 🙏
Merry Christmas to you both! Thank you for showing us all the incredible sites in India! Have a very Happy New Year ❤
Merry Christmas ✨️

Happy Christmas 🎄 🙏
Another awesome vlog of the Indian adventures of Janine & Liam. Monsoon rain 🌧️ is much worse than anything we experience in Scotland. Still having issues with transport but manage to endure them and maintain your optimistic attitude towards problems. I am sure Janine will get well and over the food poisoning. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💞 Janine & ❤ Liam.
There are atleast 40 more impressive places to visit than that.
In Gujarat itself there are 3 outstanding architectural marvels.
1. " Rani ki Vav"
is a UNESCO World Heritage site which is built "upside down". Yes, you heard it right. Inverted temple ! A must visit !
2. Sun Temple in Modhera. Another architectural marvel. It has been sent to be added to UNESCO World Heritage site list.
3. Champaner Pavgarh: Another UNESCO World Heritage site in Gujarat. Beautiful architecture!
Wow what an adventure your having thank you for sharing ❤❤😊
You are so welcome. Merry Christmas ✨️
You 2 make a lovely couple. Loved your VDOs. On behalf of all Indians thank you for visiting our great nation.
We are very proud of you since you accepted all of us friends & loved, embraced our food & culture whole heartedly.
Do visit again. If in Vadodara, Gujarat be our guest 🙏🙏🙏
Really enjoying accompanying you on your adventures guys
Also, your camera quality is amazing!
All's well that ends well Guys. One day at a time👍.
Thank you for taking us along.🎉
See you next time😘😘
What an amazing statue I’ve visited the Staue of Lib a few times but that must be an amazing site to see Will you be visiting the Golden Temple on this trip ? and the Taj ?
We did the Taj earlier this year, but will have to see about the golden temple ✨️😍
@@ThoseHappyDaysif you’re in Delhi you should definitely check out Delhi Akhsardham. Went there many years ago but it’s absolutely immense, and while one shouldn’t really compare it really does blow the Taj Mahal out of the water.
OHHHHH Thank Goodness for the mechanic👏👏👏
Thank goodness indeed
@@ThoseHappyDays 😘
Another fantastic episode. God bless you both, hope you have a great Christmas week.
Hi Liam and Janine, your vlog series is amazing!! I am from Pune, currently residing in the States. Your Diwali video from Pune brought me to tears.
If you guys are still in Gujrat, try attending kite festival on the day of Makar Sankranti which is on 14th of January.
What an adventure!
Merry Christmas both 🎄 wasn't expecting this one today 😁

I was there in April it was amusing
We love both of you as Indian I love both
Happy Christmas and New Year - another great adventure.
Happy New Year to you too Craig 🙏
@@ThoseHappyDays Thanks
Something many people won’t notice is when at 6:00 Liam said ‘how did that make you feel Janine?’
As a holistic life coach I know when the best time to ask someone how they’re feeling is and it seems like Liam has this intuition as well with Janine. Asking that simple question at the right time gave her a chance to express those uncomfortable feelings so that they’re not stuck inside anymore, allowing her to feel better afterwards. It goes without saying but Liam is an amazing partner and it’s super inspiring. Peace guys!
Thank you 🙏
Really cool adventure ♥️
That's our Iron man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
So good that many are happy to help you out with all the engine problems.
India at its best.
Love the journey you are on
Take care❤
Thanks for watching
