Return to the UK – Can we get through customs???
Morning it’s our last full day how’s that happened so the first thing we are going to be doing this morning is the vets in uh n chatel um not been to there before I’ve seen it on Facebook and people have recommended it but uh I think we’re probably going to be a bit
Disappointed with the prices um especially since in brge where we normally go she’s 50 for the two of them so I’m expecting it to be possibly double but we’ll see when we get there I know sharp intake of Red’s breath there you can’t believe it yeah this is going
To hurt it’s not exactly chup skate is it it’s not chup skate um but we’re nowhere near Brugge so to the UK and then it’s probably 100 quid a dog this is two tablets though it’s pathetic I know anyway we’ll soon find out no point moaning before I even get
There right girls you ready to go to the vets Dolly says no way Peppa’s like what what right time to move on are we having the last day Blues girls yeah we W be going too far with that starlink up there oh no we won’t will we starlink still up there better
Get that down we’re smiling because we’ve just come out of the vets and it cost a grand total of €78 for do two dogs which is two consultations but she did them at the same time it’s probably helpful to tell them with weights as well do you
Remember um Pippa was 26 kg sorry for showing your weight and Dolly was 19 I know she’s always been a bit chunky so yeah two tablets two consultations and the tablets were coated in dog meat yeah so they went over a tree oh she she did
Really well with them uh yeah so €78 yeah now um she actually o gave them a full medical check each which was good um but something’s come up and it’s not been a surprise to me because I noticed this probably about a month ago on
Pepper one of her eyes first of all I thought it was both eyes had gone cloudy which dogs of her age she’s 12 will go cloudy um but then I realized that one was very cloudy and the other one only cloudy in where the pupil was so she’s
Had a look and she says we need to get Pippa seen by a vet as soon as we get home there’s something going on with that eye um I suspect from the way she was saying it and I have had a quick Google to be honest uh it’s possibly not
Something good but uh we’ll see when we get back it wasn’t a surprise to us when she said it and yeah uh it’s not great hearing something like that but I suspected it was something we had planned to get it dealt with when we got
Home and get it looked at by our vet um you know we’ll we’ll we’ll get it to the vets that’s all that matters and then we’ll we’ll deal with it then um but you know yeah let’s get rolling I know we’re going now to graine yes you know it’s
Our favorite Duck Farm stopover or arrival point when we come in and out of France so uh we just thought it’s easiest place we know it’s so well to go and spend the night before we have to get up tomorrow morning and get to the ferry indeed and it’s 2 hours from here
Yeah so uh let’s crack on what we go yeah we got to get some LPG because we want to fill up with LPG before we get back to the UK where it’s a bit of a struggle apparently yeah LPG and diesel diesel we’ll see what the prices are like cuz
We’ve heard it’s more expensive over here than it is in the UK weird it seems to be doesn’t it so yeah let get let’s head off and we’ll see you a bit further down the road I’m having my last shop in France in an ocean finding it quite emotional
Actually uh I got to come back to Asda soon right it’s our last meal on this trip oh I’m glad you said on this trip yeah it’s our last meal and we are having a lovely plate of lasagna and salad lasagna and salad yeah nice and
Some giant baps that I bought in um oan this morning y everybody show them you giant baps love look at the baps on that just huge B it was huge but I’ve had like bite out of bit I didn’t have one you didn’t want one no I didn’t want one too
Big yeah so I see it our last meal of the trip it’s the last meal of the trip do m there we go it’s been great fun hasn’t it it’s the 27th of December and today’s the day we’re getting the ferry I think we’re still just coming to terms with what’s happened I was about the worst hour of my life she’s sedated at the moment and they’re looking to operate on her at 3:00 this Afternoon We’ve enjoyed it we’ve had um a lot more meals out this time than we would normally cuz we’ve done just a lot less traveling we did a lot less traveling so we could have more meals out and of course Spain has probably got my favorite style of food and yours as well
Well you like it don’t you yeah I look very good and uh so yeah we’ve eaten more than we would normally have eaten out so uh but we have done a fair bit of cooking in the van as well it’s funny how food in France and food in Spain are very different
Um I like both uh but for eating out Spain wins hands down yeah every single time I think the cities we went to had lots of choice they were all very close to each other so the competition was healthy and we just chose it random we W and we weren’t
Disappointed and of course menu Dela menu of the day yeah I mean what was one what was your favorite meal out that we had Villa hoosa when we sat there by the seaside oh yeah that was nice I think I enjoyed the um not the most but the uh
The churos and the hot chocolate that was good yeah I enjoyed those not the fish heads eising buns oh I love those that now that was my favorite meal and that was in Dena I really enjoyed that they were good they were good and I was eating them
Right yeah so uh I don’t think we’ve explained to people where we are tonight we sort of said we were going hello hello Peppa all right there pip we said we were going to gravine to the duck farm but as we were driving along we
Knew we needed LPG so I was going to pull us in here then I realized it was the place we stayed at the first night we came over at the beginning of the trip in December and we decided just to stay here so we’ve spent the day pretty
Much sorting things out um in this car park doing shopping that kind of we’re in the car park in the pouring down rain it is yeah I mean it was so bad about half an hour ago we tried to do this and had to turn it off you couldn’t hear
It she eat it now yeah good morning good morning it’s an early one it’s an early one definitely in oan car park yep which is absolutely ideal for that stopped before the night before y we had a good night here didn’t we it was fine nice and quiet uh Sunny
Morning as you can see look how washed out I am um yeah so Ferry today yeah Ferry today can’t believe it’s over they always say that Ferry today back to the UK all those lovely roads I know can’t wait for the M25 it’s my favorite amazing little stop isn’t it
Anyway shall we hit the road and uh better Plum it in finger’s fallen off of it no I’m defrosted yeah this isn’t our best Crossing because unfortunately this door here is open wide open it is very rough out there uh that’s pipp afro you can see in the
Corner um the wind and the rain’s coming in people have slipped in the doorway saw a lady slip there earlier and fall over and uh yeah it’s wild there’s a there’s a wind blowing through here so uh yeah not very good Pio not very good
A man came and he looked at it looked at it pushed and pulled it a bit walked away hasn’t come back since not very impressive is it not happy you’re not happy you don’t look unhappy it is what it is but here comes a guy now look he’s come to fix it is
He well something if you did shut the door yeah yeah it’s not very good at all I don’t know if you can see it through there there’s another fairy it’s wild out there absolutely wild I think he’s having a luck probably an override key yay he’s fixed it at last we’re nearly
There anyway we’ve uh arrived at DOA haven’t we we have and I can see the doors opening and it looks like there’s Sunshine what there is I I can see the doors behind me and it looks like there’s sunshine are you sure the doors aren’t just painted blue no there’s
Certainly No Sunshine view mirror and John’s message and said they’re Sunshine at home all right okay um I’m going to find out now in a minute now in a minute now in a minute over there by there yeah if we get through Customs easy this time
Yeah if it’s the same what do you think fancy our chances I don’t know I mean if it’s the same drill as last time there we go search everything ask all the questions we’ll comply we just want to get home now but um yeah going to be interesting
Isn’t it well if we get through then obviously last time was just a fluke and if we don’t get through then our names on a list somewhere yeah either the names or the number plate or something but we didn’t get get searched on the way over the van in front of us got
Pulled over and they had a look inside and yeah they were um but yeah we didn’t get a look at did we no that was one rough cross in really rough wasn’t it oh it was pretty bad wasn’t it yeah so uh fortunately neither of us get seasick but it wasn’t very
Nice especially with the doors trapped open like that and um the toilets weren’t clean and there was no milk in the coffee machine for the those who like milk and to be honest the drinks were a little bit lacking they were yeah you know you pay1 each to go in there so
It was a bit lacking this time unfortunately you know it’s a nice usually brilliant service it’s a nice ship it’s a comfy enough Crossing but again yeah as you said you know the wind the rain it was Hing through the door there was eight tins of cola they were
All gone in a short space of time cuz there was at least 12 people in the cabin M the milk ran out on the coffee machine so that was a bit poor but um there we go there’s worse things happening but yeah as you said you do
Pay for it yeah you do if it was free then it would be one thing but we pay to go in there and part of the deal is there’s drinks and if you can’t have them and it’s freezing cold that’s the door’s just opened yeah it is it does
Look quite bright down there R is isn’t wrong I know need to turn that off and on again I can’t force it okay power’s off you know which way you going that map’s playing up yeah I know where the power button I can’t see on the top yeah yeah my
Side shows how often he sets up now no it’s well it’s on your side your side your job yeah right um as we roll off I shall uh get the camera rolling and we’ll see will we get pulled into the garage or are we on our way home I hope
We’re on our way home keep your fingers cross for us yes right here we go coming up to the bit milit salty all rout so we go I think we’re getting straight out this time we are aren we I don’t think we’ve been flagged anyway just Wasing
This chat is he off to don’t know let go straight through they they all are waiting for their customers but it’s not us this time we hi mind you I did go in a different L where there was no cues well don’t know but uh that’s says we’re out see you
Fantastic oh it’s good to be home welcome back to the UK the beautiful M4 but look it is sunny so it’s sunny not too bad is it well it’s sunny but we’ve been through rain high winds sleep no P didn’t get it right because we’ll let
Them know yeah we’ll let them know we’ll let them know the doors to the outside were open yeah and the inner doors to the outside doors were open as well yeah so it was like living in a Hurrican was wind tunnel that that pet Lounge was complete wind tunnel so it
Was a bit drafty and a bit cold yeah yeah so it looks like the old M4 here has got a lane closed so we’re going to be probably queued back for 15 miles before we have to filter over well the outside Lane is shut in 800 yards but everybody’s still piling down
There and this is on until July so I think we’ll be stuck here until July yeah may as well just turn around and go back then yeah and it’s all good to look back on I mean the trip itself in some ways went really fast in other ways slow with everything that happened
With Dolly sticking around France but we certainly learned that stay in put isn’t a bad thing we did learn a lot yeah that that is a very important thing we traveled this trip in a way that we’ve never traveled before whereas we took ourselves to a destination and just just
Traveled around a very small area but stayed longer than we would stay like 3 or 4 days per Place uh we’ve never traveled like that before no and I and I think that’s how we’re going to do it going forward well it’s not a bad way to do it because traditionally we would
Have gone a lot deeper into Spain we would have gone a lot further south we’d have probably raced around the whole thing yeah which would have been bit of a shame because you see a lot but you spend a lot of time driving as well so and we’d rather spend
The time exploring now wouldn’t we yeah we seem to spend more time exploring and what we realize is that there’s a lot to see in little pockets yeah I mean that tiny little area we visited you can’t go wrong youve spend three months there easily and still not see it all uh that
We’ve left plenty to go back to and we will be going back next year um yeah fantastic trip really enjoyed it very different from the Denmark trip and very different from all the trips we’ve done before yeah I think we’ve seen all seasons of weather over there so what’s
Next what’s next what’s next what’s next for red go travels couple of UK Ventures yeah we um more than a couple we have quite a few places planned we’ve got a few trips coming up very very soon I think you’re going to see the first of
It next week um and we’re going to take you on the road with us so uh here comes the UK tour should be fun the UK tour back in the UK back in the good old U ofk yeah the ufk and remembering the drive on the
Left yep I spent more time driving on the right in the last couple of years than I have on the left that’s true that is very very true yeah but it’s like riding a bike is it you often fall off back so we just want to say thank you to

That mankind of yours is a howl….. Great trip and great vlogs… Well done to both of you… 😊😊
Welcome home but I will miss your choice of menu tomorrow.
Luckily the good experiences outweighed the difficult beginning 😊
Awww this was lovely, what a great look back, we felt sad when you had to leave ourselves!! Sorry to hear about beautiful Pippa, hope she is ok 💕The Ferry crossing was a bit rubbish, broken door, no milk and dirty toilets…yuk!! We loved this series and look forward to whatever comes next in the UK. Safe travels both, lots of love Julia and Gary Xx
what's next ? 😂 a new bathroom 💪 i feel sorry you returned so 🤔 fast, 🚐Morocco is waiting for you, 💙 enjoy
It's been a very interesting trip for you. I've enjoyed watching. Cheers
I want to say something profound but I can't think of the words. I have been following since the dog attack and the crazy German woman incidences.
Your vlogs are just the best I have seen so far and I watch a lot of Youtube. You are entertaining, fun and honest and that is very rare in this world. Thank you ♥
Looking forward to your UK adventures, I do hope Pippa will be ok when you take her to the vet. Hoping your flood damage isn't bad when you get home. xx
Thought your drone footage on your last video was great. Can you tell me what are you using for the controls? We use an old phone but yours looked far better. Thanks 😊
Hi guys, welcome home 😁 really enjoyed following your journey can,t wait to see where you go next. Hope Pippa will be ok. See you soon. Take care xx
Excellent, thank you both for the last 3 months really enjoyed travelling with you!
I am looking forward to the next adventure and hope to see you on the road.
Hej Corinn, Paul, and your lovely dogs Pippa and Dolly. We are following your channel from Denmark and are really enjoying your vlogs on your different trips through Europa. Looking forward to your UK trip. Hope Pippa is doing well. Regards/hilsen from Denmark.
Great trip!!
Welcome back to not so sunny Wales! Enjoyed watching your journey! Dolly and Pippa are so adorable
Yes, agree, enjoyed your trip. Croeso adref!
Welcome back !Thank you so much for taking us along with you .
It was so refreshing to see people travelling Spain eating proper Spanish food @nd not spending all there time looking for English breakfast and fish and£ chips .
I’m a great believer in eating local while travelling.
Can’t wait for your next travels love from Scotland.💕
It was a pleasure sharing the ups and downs during your fantastic adventure.Love your attitude to the various things that didn’t go well and looking forward to more from all of you. Almost forgot to say fingers crossed re your beautiful dogs and hope the eye issue can be dealt with.
Hi could you do a costing video please
Thanks for letting us follow your wonderful holiday. We loved it👍
Looking forward to the UK adventures.
Regards from Belgium followers.
Hi Corrine & Paul,
Shame that your trip is over for now and our first venture further south starts in April. With all the lovely areas that you visited did you have trouble getting onto sites for those 3-4 nights? We're not really geared up for off grid as you are as this trip will verify what we need in terms of power upgrades and power bank and whether or not we need anything else. Will follow your adventures when we're away so stay safe and I hope the news for Pippa is not too extreme as she is part of your extended family. All the best Drew & Linda🏴
We love the vet at Neufchâtel en Bray, you can book on line, they speak English and the Staff/Vet were lovely with Harris (the cocker). First time he’s enjoyed a tablet from the Vet, smothered in dog meat he almost took the vets finger finger off. Camping St Claire at Neufchâtel is just round the corner from the vet, a site we highly recommend. Leclerc supermarket 100m down the road perfect for the last shop before Blighty and there is even a car jet wash opposite the site with plenty of room for a motorhome. Don’t forget the local Neufchâtel cheese OMG 😋
Thanks for sharing your brilliant trip with us. Hugs for Pippa❤
Really enjoyed watching this tour, particularly as we are heading for that area of Spain next January. Look forward to watching your UK adventures too. ❤

What a great adventure you all have had, a few lows but some great highs too, can't wait to get back across the water later in the year. Awesome video's , thanks Guys.

I couldn’t watch when u mentioned pippa – I don’t want to see any bad news on the girls as there both beautiful so I had to switch off – so sorry / I really hope she is ok ❤
Welcome 🙏 home throughly enjoyed your latest trip looking forward to getting aboard the UK tour🎉 I hope your doggies 🐕 all well we start out travels soon.❤
After you mentioned it in this Vlog we came across an Auchan store in Poitiers, and OMG!, what a shop, we didn’t know of this place, it certainly knocks a Walmart Super Centre into a cocked hat!
Spent a good while in it, found lots of interesting things we simply couldn’t live without, and left with a much lighter wallet!
That's gone quickly looking back. The recap was good, Sorry to hear about Pippa's eye fingers crossed for her that it's not too serious, Can definitely tell your welsh, saying now in a minute I say it all the time 😂
And we love you ❤
I always think if you go to Lidl or Aldi when you get back you can pretend you are on the continent, as its a bit like the continent, rather than Asda. I think if you dont have the time to travel too much its better to stay in a small area and do as much as you can there. Good luck
Why do you use ferry and not Tunnel?
Enjoyed your trip hope everything goes well with pippa ❤ you could of moved seats on the ferry lol 😂
Enjoyed watching your travels and dream of the days when our turn comes. I like your advice of where to stop over and the costings.Looking forward to your next adventure. Elwyn and Morag
Looking forward to your next adventure,……
