You are a Viking Keira, the Scottish you thought you had comes through as Scandinavian, entire towns in Scotland have been found to have all Norwegian ancestry.
@@user-kh7rt9fj5p I don’t dispute that the national trust are cashing in, but my point was that ‘tourists ripped off in Northern Ireland!’ is a generic statement about NI the place and not specific to the causeway.
We are both old age pensioners in our eighties, my friend disabled and using a rotolator, we were charged £42.00p for visiting sea world in Blackpool, no discounts for old age pensioners, or disabled. Definitely not worth it, Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.
Wow back in the 70's 80's coming home from the night club in Pontefract me & my bros use to sleep in a graveyard we have always said the dead cannot hurt you it is the living that hurt you
Be careful with Rosie. At the moment there is a big issue with Blue-Green Algae in the waterways and some of the beaches, which is fatal to dogs. The DAERA website should give you up to date information on where it is at the minute.
I can remember back in the 1950' and even up to the 1970's where it was so dark on that road (it was a main road in those days), you had to put your headlights on. Also, in those days ALL thee tourist places like Dunluce Castle, the Giants Causeway, Lough Neagh (with its 365 islands, one for each day of the year ), Celtic churches, the Caŕick Ropte Bridge (been over that too, many times ) etc etc etc, were ALL free to park and free tò visit. In those days you could go inside Dunluce Castle, including crossing a bridge to the piece that's sits on an out crop of rock, which has a hole in the floor so a boat could bring provisions if under siege, as a tunnel comes underneath. I've also been in that tunnel (when the tide was out). Did you know the kitchens of Dunnluce Castle fell into the sea during a violent storm, killing all the kitchen staff. In Portrush and Coleraine, you have Morrelli's Italian Ice Crem who have had their family business in NI since before WWII, and is still owned by the Morrelli's !
Hi everyone. Welcome to Northern Ireland. Sorry the weather isn't being very nice at the minute, but you don't seem to let that stop you from enjoying yourselves. Hope Rosie is feeling better. Looking forward to joining you on your trip around our country xx
Family membership to National Trust highly recommended. We really enjoyed it, saved us loads of entry fees when kids were small. I use my individual one now when visiting some of my kids in England & more locally at home in Northern Ireland.
@stephenrobbins , watched this video this morning, so decided to go to Portrush and check out the Kraken today, it was very busy , but got served quick enough, food was very good, tho there was a lot of very noisy children at it , but still would recommend
Yep, giants causeway is a tourist trap and an absolute rip off for the unwary. Glad you didn't get caught out. The north Antrim coast and the glens of antrim is beautiful though. Glad you got to see my lovely part of the world. Hope you visit the mussenden temple at downhill and the fantastic beach at benone strand. 😎👍
As a resident of the north Antrim coast loving it's beauty every year different seasons and weathers is spectacular. I very much dislike how the Giants Causeway attempt to charge brutal costs to see the rocks... That walk along the old railway in Bushmills is a good one to take to the causeway too if you like nice walks.
I spent 4yrs as a tour coach driver and visited all the tourists attractions in Ireland and uk all for free plus food...staying in 5 star hotels but down side was i be on a 11day tour home for 3days.
Ive followed you guys for years and I cant believe you're only 'up the road'. Welcome to NI. Check out Portstewart which is right beside Portrush, then head round to Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. Another great spot is Newcastle, Co Down for the Mourne Mountains. Also, a brilliant day out for the kids, W5 in the Titanic Quarter in Belfast - a brilliant educational science museum. Very interactive, plus you can see where the Titanic was built right outside.
@@Touringwiththekidsdefinately try Newcastle. Tye mountains sweep right down to the sea there and as most coastal towns there are amusements for the kids. Beach is not as nice as Portrush and parking may be a problem. Just outside the town is a fabulous forest park so hubby will be happy and the kids will have lots of open spaces to play games. Hope your wee dog has recovered PS. For anyone visiting NI we do not have global warming our summers do not get that warm and you could have 4 seasons in a day. Always always have wet weather gear handy as you don’t get to be this green with a hot and dry climate
you going to visist newcasle in co down, so many bloggers same to miss it, yea i guarentte its a cracking spot, and brillant view into the mourne mountains espcially if you get the weather for it
Good evening everyone I have just watched your last Sundays RU-vid video I thought it was exciting I love you and your adventures in your motor I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventures in your motor home please keep your videos going on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm I can't thank you all enough for your and what you do for everyone to watch thakyou very much ❤
Was thinking the same were they expecting to be alone to much moaning in this video I live here on the shankill road should come here . O can’t to many tourist here
Aww its great to see you in the North of Ireland and exploring some of our brilliant little tourist spots. Greetings from Northern Ireland (and our own little Rosie) 🐕
If you take the right hand side of the visitors centre and head up hill there are several coloured walks with various degrees of difficulty and some amazing views. This is also a free entrance to the Causeway.
haha my dad worked for a contractor and was working up the Bregha road/Dark hedges well past 12 at night and saw nothing even in heavy fog his work mate was ploughing another time and when it came close to twelve he was out of the field and on his way home he was scared of the grey lady xD
Welcome,I have never paid at the giants causeway. The carrickarope bridge is fun to walk across,it has a small fee.. Take enjoy, worst weather in years here at the moment...
We are from Scotland and love following your travelling. We are in Irvinestown this weekend there is a truck show on (that’s if you love lorries) there will be plenty for the kids. It’s at County Fermanagh. I’m sure you would enjoy it xx
If you want to know where to go, ask a local. There are hidden gems that you’ll never find. Mind you many of the places I’m thinking of wouldn’t be accessible in a van.
Hi, Glad that you are enjoying Nothern Ireland, The Motor home stop in Portrush is always busy but is much cheaper than campsites, I arrived yesterday morning and it wasn't too busy but when I was leaving at about 2 this afternoon it was crazy with motorhomes parked on the grass even on the other side of the road, The other good point for me was the pay machine was out of order and no other way to pay, so free night for us, Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Hi again, I went to the Giant's Causeway and it was really windy too! I got an amazing ice cream from Portrush, it was palma violet flavour! Can’t wait until your next video. Love from Beth xxx
What an interesting, educational and enlightening video this week ... points of interest - Rick busting a move early on - We have something similar here in Dunedin NZ with rock formations called the organ pipes - Genealogy is always surprising and it's worth doing a DNA test. My brother has been doing Genealogy for around 50 years, and it is fun to find out you are related to english royalty. With a maiden name like 'Grant' we are obviously of Scottish, English, and love to say it Rick, IRISH decent!! I visited Ireland a few years ago now, and absolutely loved it. - Love that you have those Scandinavian roots too Great tips for other travelers guys, keep up the great vids x
The food looked lovely but it was wayyyy over priced. In (Manchester, Chester and many other places) it costs £5.20 for sausage, chips, mushy peas and gravy. Plus you get 3 sausages so you can more than likely share it with a few people as it's massive. Also it tastes amazeballs. 🤣 Great video guys look forward to seeing what you get up to next Sunday. I'm requesting more video's throughout the week lol.😇😂
I think your title is unfair, these places need looking after the country (UK) is on it knees so everyone is trying to make good decisions..do your research.. avoid the expensive parts if it is an issue. Tourism all over our country is expensive... sorry guys somewhat unfair
Hi we were parked two down from you at portrush , seen you’re truck, when we were home again low and behold yous came up on my RU-vid feed, and yes giants causeway is a bit of a ripoff
How is Rosie now. How long has piper been a vegetarian. I'm a vegetarian, seeing all the turkeys in the fridges at Christmas time, made me decide that's it ,I don't want to eat meat anymore. and we have a good choice of food now.🐕🐾🐾🇬🇧
I have thought for years that it is a disgrace to have homeless people in many towns when every night the local churches have space that could be made available for free to people so they do not have to sleep outside . Many churches have a caretaker or resident clergyman on site so the homeless can be let in and supervised easily. I think the churches are worried the homeless might steal the candle sticks. After a night's rest they might even be interested in some volunteer work around the property . Looking after the poor and the homeless should be part of the Lord's work rather than locking them out of his house. The Churches would probably say they cannot open up their doors because of insurance issues or there is no funding for the project which of course is rubbish it should be a core activity of any church in the community and securing government funding should not be the reason to not help the needy.
@@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725 you are quite right and several churches do. It's perfectly possible to lock away anything valuable during the week. Not all churches have toilets or kitchen areas so some are less suitable than others.
@biddiemutter3481 where you have seen it does it only go for a week? A week to raise public awareness of homelessness and poverty is still worthwhile. True the amenities in some churches are going to be lacking. Having to go outside to the outdoor bathroom would not be a big deal for people who have to do this every day. Baby Wipes is just one way to stay clean and fresh or going to an emergency shower van that some communities offer is another way .
But you weren’t actually ripped off though so why that title to put a negative light on Northern Ireland? Watching the whole video it seemed overall a positive time so I’m confused? ?
Hi gang, just started following you as I've just gained my HGV licence and also considering doing a large conversion. Do you get much hassle with having such a large vehicle especially when travelling across boarders?
I felt ripped off with all the adverts and DNA search. Best of luck guys. I understand your trying to earn and record Not for me. Genuinely wish you all the very best
Regarding ancestry, Ashkenazi Jewish doesn't necessarily indicate Middle East connectiomns. Ashkenazi Jews, the overwhelming majority of world Jewry, came originally from eastern Europe and Russia. Many of them today still live in Europe, Russia or the United States. Those in Israel today are only there since the rise of the Zionist project in the late 19th century and especially since the creation of the Israeli State. The minority, non-Ashkenazi Jews are known as Sephardic or Arab Jews who have lived in the Middle East for centuries.
I already have my family tree done on my heritage our family are all over the world . I haven’t yet had the courage to do dna test my cousin did it and also found a few surprises
@@Touringwiththekids I work in a fishy and most of the time curry sauce from a chippy is not vegetarian as they had in beef suet that’s what I meant. Make sure u ask about it as most of time it’s not
Please don’t use an Meirge Uladh to represent the north of Ireland. “Northern Ireland” has no flag and using the Ulster banner is a very sectarian signifier.
@@garryadair9482 not at all, that flag is sectarian in its nature and it’s factually incorrect, which is my only point. Léiríonn tú féin i do chúisimh.
Whind your neck in. You, as well as I do know the NT at the Giants Causeway, are well known for the prices they charge. Many tourists to this world heritage site, including locals, don't know that it's totally free to visit the stones. You only overpay to enter the visitor centre and parking. Park up outside and walk down its FREE.
I did like watching your travels but your advert breaks are getting stupid they are longer than on tv programs so i wont be following you any more and will unsubscribe
