- We visited Huerto del Cura (Botanical Gardens) in Elche for a relaxing afternoon before the stress of trying to get to the airport in time for our flight home.

You've found a keeper there mate, Helen seems like great fun to be around 😀❤
She really is 😍
"We nearly got a taxi"...What!?? Call yer sen a Yorkshireman!....I love how James gave us a running commentry on what nearly every meal and / or round of drinks cost, Yorkshire battle cry 'How much?!!' But seriously, I subscribe to a fair few Van life / couple channels and with the greatest of respect to all those other channels, I can honestly say that you (James and Helen) have become my favourite CZcamsrs by a country mile, you both feel like good friends I've never met, you're both just so down to earth and genuine, and I'm so pleased you both had such a great time on your well deserved holiday!...Here's to the next one!
Well said
Thank you so much, that is a lovely thing to say and really means a lot
@@bythecurb No problem mate, I meant every word!
And the merch ideas keep coming, another T-shirt with "Salut you plonker!"
😂😂
Helen reminded me of my wife at the botanical gardens, reading everything in great detail and learning about it's history, I start to lose the will to live after about 15 minutes 🙄 I just wander around these places thinking about what I am having for dinner later and learn bugger all 🤔 Glad you both enjoyed your time is Spain, I did feel for you driving home in the pouring rain absolutely knackered mate. All the best, David
Thanks David, 😂😂 i've got a short attention span
The sweat rags sound like a winner to me, I may need one.
They're the future!
FOund you when the first benidorm video popped up, watched nearly all your stuff now and I'm loving it. Your quite original, your both so real n down to earth, dont have big egos and probs half the population would identify with you, we certainly do. Liverpool sends lots of 💘 love
Thank you so much ❤
Great vids of your trip ,my favourite youtubers
Helens compass work and directions are bang on🤣🤣...she couldn't find her arse with both hands.🤣🤣..looking forward to next vid 👍
Hi in 1973 that fish shop in Conisbrough was called the Star inn a pub just at the top of the hill was a Working mans club called Moana x
Thanks for that, we need to head back for a review
Brilliant video and once again we should get these 2 on tele!
Welcome back James and Helen…..that was a Chuffing grand finale to your little getaway trip.
Many thanks for the chuckles and 🎵🎵 and drinks 🍺 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Really happy to see you both smiling after getting a week together 😊
Thanks we had a great time
Hi mate hope you had a good time that’s us here in allania Costa Blanca kids are loving it been here 2 days first day was absolutely roasting what a heat 😂🎉
Have a fantastic holiday 😁
Welcome home you two. Thanks for letting us all come on holiday with ya 😎
You are welcome, thank you for watching
Fantastic our kid🎉🎉🎉
Welcome back to sunny blighty guys so glad you had a nice trip when's the next one ?
Thank you, very soon hopefully 😊
looks really great! lovely videos. you are reminding me that I need to go to Costa Blanca/Benidorm!
We miss it already!
@@bythecurb I'm sure that you do! good luck man
I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. I did the Spain/Benidorm thing years ago. I had a lovely day today, I walked over the Humber Bridge. 😁😆😂🤪🤨 ilona
Reet enjoyed your Spanish vlogs, we always says we're gonna move there when we have to leave haha, our turn Sunday, off to melorca.
Great, have a wonderful time 🙂
I don't know anybody else who's been to Elche, l've only been a few times because l discovered the cycle path from Alicante, lovely sleepy place is Elche. Alicante on the other hand is totally wonderful, long may the Beni crew keep missing it out. 😂
We absolutely love Elche, we joked that if we were rich we would buy a small apartment there
@@bythecurb l did too, Elche was a huge surprise to me and rentals are a lot cheaper than Alicante. I hope your channel gets you there. 🙂
i think travel trolls went there .
another great video guys love ya ❤
Thankyou james and Helen I enjoyed your holiday from my armchair.its nice and cool here .❤
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I've really enjoyed this holiday vlog. I lived in Benidorm for a couple of years when I was in my 20's - I was one of those ticket touts you mentioned in your last one. I worked the infamous 'square' where all the club's were. Obviously it's changed a hell of a lot since I was there - the money was still pesatas then! I must admit I've not watched for a while but I'm so glad this came up in my feed! It reminded me of how much I like you two and with it being Benidorm too well that was the cherry on the cake! Thank you for an entertaining walk down memory lane, Salut! 🍻
You're welcome, glad you're back! 🙂
Always a bummer coming home and to weather like that☔️, but you enjoyed your selves while away and we enjoyed it too.👍thanks guys.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Glad you got back safe! Enjoyed watching your last day 🤗
Thank you 🙂
Dos..Si..fluent 😂😂 that had me crying 😂 glad you two have enjoyed your holiday together 🩵
Glad you enjoyed it
@@bythecurb I bet your glad to be back in rainy England 😂 and don't have to put up with 38 degrees heat 😂😂
Its such a joy to watch your videos! You are both bonkers but in an ace way 🤣🤣
Thank you, we love being bonkers! 😂
@@bythecurb it shows 🤣🤣
Great city loads to do
Great food great people
Absolutely! 🙂
Glad you had a great time - we have a place near Elche and like the town for a beer 🍺
You're so lucky, we loved it there
It's much easier travelling with people who just go with the flow, who are actually interested in finding out about the places they visit, who encourage not mock you, and who don't panic when things go off-plan. Be kind to yourself, Helen, wishing you peace and joy 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🏵️💐
Helen is super chilled, I get a bit anxious though
@@bythecurb I agree, Helen is super chilled, that's what my original comment said ☺️
@@MillyWeeble I think you may have not yet realised why opposites attract.
People with different skills and qualities, complement each other.
If everyone went with the flow and chilled out, nothing would get done.
@@truthteller99999 That's such an uneducated, uninformed and outdated belief. Couples who thrive compliment each other. They certainly don't ridicule or undermine their partner's interests, especially those that bring them joy.
Welcome home
Thanks mate
back to normal and shite weather lol@@bythecurb
Glad u had a fab time both best wishes Phil 👍
Thanks Phil
Such nobs. A Prime LIKE on this! Love you guys!

P.s As for Merch, I think with the way the World is, the Under Boob Sweat might be a Winner? 🤔😂

It was 45 degrees in Egypt on our holiday but we go for the sun it helps with my pain glad your having a lovely time 😊

Thank you! Will do!
Welcome back to the crap weather thanks for all the vidios glad you enjoyed your self's you look so happy together xx
Thanks so much, we're ready for another holiday! 😂
I have a better tan than a work colleague who has just come back from Dubai and I live in Cornwall. Don't mock our weather. We have good and bad days. Cornwall is usually great from late May.
I thought that there were fires in Spain with the extreme heat? Just binge watching your channel ❤
We didn't see any, might have been though
Love this vid guys. Really natural. You're great together. Hope you are planning your next trip already. 👍 Oh, and the beer thing....? We do exactly the same in Ireland, something the new influx of continental staff in recent years had to get used to!
😂😂😂you two are so funny 😂 yous just make ma day cheers 🤦♀️😂😂😂x
Thank you 😊
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have just caught up. Have become addicted, used to love our walking holidays in Yorkshire back in the day, now retired and living in France.
Thanks for watching, lucky you living in France, we hope to visit soon 😊
Found your channel
Love your relationship
Completely relate to it !
Thank you, glad you like it 😊
James you proper crack me up 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks June
Good video! Thank you.
You two have saved me a fortune (which is handy, as I am broke :) )
They enlightening and I wish it many views.
As old as I am, I have not ventured over seas. Now, no need, at all.
After the ‘war’, is over, how about St. Petersburg? The history, culture and architecture, is fascinating. :)
That's a brilliant suggestion, we wanted to go to Russia before the war anyway. I'd happily go now, this war is nothing about the people just the ego maniacs at the top!
Thanks
Thank you so much 😊
great vlog glad you had nice holiday helen is so sweet you make me laugh xx
Thank you, she is great and im so lucky!! 😍
I can't believe how quiet the British area is .we normally go in winter or spring and it's busier then
Love watching your videos. You need to do a Vlog in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote. You and Helen will love it there.
We'd love to. I feel a trip coming on!!
Back to reality now. The great British Weather! Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Is there any part of you that is secretly glad to be back at home? Did you miss Dorothy? 😊
Yes, I always miss home. 😊
