(Big heads up for Barry who helped us out big time!) 🌊 We have three 207 liter watertanks for fresh water, 400L for dirty water and over 50 meter of water pipes in order to get you al washed up and the rice boiling for dinner! We'll be able to fill everything up and let go of all the used water through a tap on the outside of the bus. 🚿 So now... time to finish the shower, bathroom and kitchen!! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
When driving around in our bus one of challenges i When driving around in our bus one of challenges is not to get stuck. With having an extra floor above you when driving, it can be exciting to drive underneath tunnels and viaducts. We just take it slow on moments like that, get out and estimate whether we'll fit or not. Lucky for us there's a sign for everything lower than 4.20 in The Netherlands. Good ground to practice on and become the best estimators before we go abroad next year! πŸ• 🚍 Do you dare to get on?? We're almost done planning the routes, mountainbiking, kayaking, sailing, hiking, wadlopen, climbing... name it and we have it! Bookings will open up real soon! Stay tuned! πŸ“»

Was great showing our bus to everyone here and hearing their enthusiastic reactions. And being able to test our bus with this bunch of gangsters. ❀

Love our new closet above our beds. From our beds Love our new closet above our beds. From our beds we're now looking up at some super pretty wood which probably came from an ancient house somewhere in the middle of nowhere in France. When we entered the wood wholesaler @frankpouwer we were so excited. All the (awesome) wood they have there has been recycled. It's for example taken from abandoned, hundred years old houses in little villages in France. Or from train wagons that haven't been used anymore cause newer trains replaced them. Now that wood is sold here either as beams, planks or as your custom made table. Really recommended place to go to even if it's just to get inspired or to drool at all their wood haha. Thanks a lot @frankpouwer for providing the wood and Sil for making our favorite closet on the bus. πŸ™β€
