we're Eamon and Bec and we love van life so much that we've decided to ship our
tiny house to another continent to do this we're working with a company called
Sea Bridge and if you can believe it it only takes six days to sail all the way
from Canada to Europe last week we drove our van from Toronto to the coastal city
of Halifax and today we'll bring you along as we prep the van for its sail
and drop it off at the port we then find a Iceland where we will be living out of
an even smaller cozier van for the next eight days this morning we pick you up
right where we left off in beautiful Halifax Nova Scotia you know it's not
that beautiful good morning good morning good morning welcome to Walmart not
lived in as possible so that means taking down just about everything over
here from the bookshelf getting rid of the greenery putting our Vitamix blender
somewhere else got a lot of stuff packed back there so the one pager they sent us
is basically outlining don't be dumb don't leave stuff in the front cab they
said to remove our stereo but quite frankly if they stole our stereo it
might actually be helpful to us so we've just gotten rid of everything kind of in
here along the doors everything everything up here these are all empty
basically you want to limit the amount of possible things to go missing now I
just want to point out look at that water level okay that is three-quarters
full we haven't filled up once obviously it's amazing before we had we waited
about least we would have gone through our water supply completely reject which
means changing out three jogs emptying three grey tanks no more books
first things first we've got a meeting with
I'm pretty sure the freight forwarder but we're supposed to be there at 8:30
all right how are you good we are dropping off her van I think so guys
what I can gather is that this is the actual forwarding company the logistics
company that's you works with and we're basically just giving a bunch of
paperwork and then we're gonna drop off the VIN you're right at the Harbor
I got an asset of things we're now gonna drive this van to the port and hand the
keys to some stranger we have to get rid of our propane first so we're gonna make
breakfast drop off the propane at Canadian Tire
we still haven't dealt with the flat tire yet I think we have time to squeeze
it in but you know no let's see let's see how we go okay let's go to Canadian
Tire and see if we can squeeze that Scotia tire man you got to come to the
local spot can you help us out they're gonna help us though bad news the tire
is cooked the inside wall because we had to drive on it is just destroyed so we
have to get a new tire but there's no time we've got the tire rim or bringing
that to Liverpool that's gonna be kind of the first thing
okay because inside they had about 15 people are willing to get the camper oh
my god oh my god quick update here lovely security guard
just told us that they take a lunch break from now until 1:00 so an hour and
15 minutes they have for lunch it's pretty nice our flight is at 3 okay
and I'm being too dramatic I'm feeling a little stressed like I don't know why
anyways it's nothing we can do about it now but I would need it currently
driving down a one-way street the wrong way and I've got my vest on yeah
and we are dropping the van but we need to go in and get finish it was fine
this is the lineup of people we need to wait in line with these other people I
would say everyone I spoke to in line is people that are actually picking up
their bands that have shipped from Europe so it's kind of silly that we
need to wait in line just to drop the keys but I just quickly isolated the
friend she said that is the process half an hour we'll see if you thank you so
much nice meeting you guys five and thank you thank you so much
we're going to Toronto we have less than 40 minutes time plane takes off gotta go
through security run for security now okay no drama
Gate was right here we gotta go to watch
like I'm so perfect like I know when I don't know like I deserve basically
arrived in Toronto we have only 24 hours until our next flight we'll catch you
back at the airport welcome back to the airport we have a five and a half hour
flight to Iceland ahead of us we'll catch you over there
those happy
thank you it's bright
it's a little bit chillier my throat is hurting and I didn't sleep at all but I
am so excited to say welcome to Iceland today Aaron and I are currently waiting
for a bus to take us into the main town of Reykjavik and while we do I am taking
advantage of the free Wi-Fi here because I have some accounting that I have been
putting off and our poor and lovely accountant has been messaging and
messaging sorry Raj we're using our new VPN from Surf Shack to ensure that all
of our data is safe using a VPN gives you a nice extra layer of security so
when you're logging in on a free public Wi-Fi like an airport or out of hotels
it can be really easy for hackers to get all of that information it was easy to
install on all of our devices so now we can search in peace and get that banking
and accounting done you're welcome Rajesh also another reason I'm super
excited to be using surf shark VPN is because you can trick the Internet into
thinking you're in a different place than you are so I'm not sure what the
Netflix situation is going to be like in Iceland but I can just set it to Canada
thinks I'm in Canada and we can surf like we're at home Canada America's way
better or America but I'm also super excited because there's this TV show I
loved when we lived in Australia called the block any Aussies out there I don't
know if it's cool no it's a great job but I'm so excited to trick the system
into thinking I'm in Australia and like binging every season of the box since we
live there in 2013 so I have a lot of catching up on that to do if you guys
are interested in trying a surf shark VPN you can use our code van
for 83% off and one additional month for free all of the information will be
linked in the description box let's go to Reggie there what the heck I've been
here no why did they just leave our bag there where's the little guy babe I
don't know well one of our checked bags did not arrive it was a little guys who
are concerned about why you've already done it Mike sorry I wasn't looking so
guys just out there in the world all by himself
yeah we're picking up a camp our cozy campers okay you know them yep moment of
truth how does that Icelandic air taste
yep it's tasty it's just what I pictured
I'm taking a nap we're now at the bus terminal and I just sent mr. bee a
message letting me know yo we're here would love a ride and he already wrote
back so he'll be here soon I guess it's not 4:00 in the morning for
Icelandic folks it's normal 9:00 a.m. yeah it's just it's not exciting for me
welcome to our tiny house for the next eight days we were greeted by mr. B at
the bus station terminal he picked us up brought us to pick up the camper we had
a very lovely tour from Genevieve I believe her name was there and now we
get to call cozy home well done naming the company very close we'll be
travelling in a cosy v model which is a fully equipped off-grid camper
it's got solar panels on the roof a small fridge sink with running water a
feeding system which can be very crucial for Iceland blackout curtains which is
even more crucial than heat and a convertible sofa bed
it may be tinier than our van but we feel right at home here I thought you
and I could go explore the city while we leave amen to rest
quite literally parked in the middle of downtown
there's Eamonn
time for some of my initial findings here a everyone is saying is a beautiful
day today but it goes through raining to a little bit of sunshine to a pretty
much cold weather so if you're coming to Iceland make sure you bring your warm
gear I'm also finding it quite expensive in fact who picked up a mint some throat
lozenges and whether or not we did the currency exchange right or wrong it was
like 20 US dollars for a 20 pack of throat lozenges so I'm super helpful
that those are going to heal him up and also everyone is speaking English here
no problem so it's an easy place to travel on my first findings let's
continue our tour together oh also and perhaps most importantly I'm
out here without aimin or a cellphone and I feel incredibly sick
five hours late L look who's joined me hi there
how are you feeling yeah done rested you have literally been sleeping all day
which is great thanks Nancy these things are watch also I'm just gonna point out
that it's 10:00 p.m. we're having dinner and this is what it
looks like outside
Wow because I sons so dressed all right now we're just gonna do it opposite
hours that the day will sleep let the night we'll party that's all you have
arrived first of all our Iceland navigator has a little bit of sauce we
arrived at this gorgeous lighthouse I'm about to show you and there's a little
tow pool that Becca's gonna commit to getting into may I ask if that's your
new hat it's supposed to be an iOS Nancy told Mike and we're both I'm not sure we
want to show our mister be that that's how you treat his camera all right mr. B
we almost crashed your car and Daewon ticking whoa look at that
it smelt very sulfuric here so my fingers are crossed that the hot spring
does exist oh did we mention it's like 12 o'clock at night or no yeah it's
literally 11:30 p.m. do you believe in this times just look
at how pink it is over there love it I think I'm gonna start saying a lot
hey good for you lot a nice day for a tea line you know I know we're not in
Ireland or anything but I feel like lad it's very appropriate for this kind of
climate hey it's super tiny and be freezing not a hot threat I'm thinking
it's got to be over this way more no I think we need to give up we're just
about to give up and then we met this gentleman he's like what are you crazy
it's just over here I was very much so by the ocean but I don't know if it was
enough that way also with cozy campers we've got a 4G
hotspot thingy so we've internet wherever we go which
is unbelievably key so we're gonna take a second and look it up and get a photo
of this place and bring it down there here's the park I think that's the thing
that we saw no no yeah I do no because it's so thin around it thick that's it
folks that is the exact tech well there's something wrong with this little
spring sorry buddy
I didn't think but it could potentially not be full but hey that's nature on to
the next Hot Springs so this is a spot looks like that's a hotel you don't know
what that is there's some retail shops along here and there's like this Brandon
building here and this one has like graffiti all along the front so it looks
sort of abandoned ish anyway so here we go I can't believe how bright it is it
like 12:30 at night
hello madam I twisty-turny hey guys so I'm thinking this might be
the end of today's video what do you think babe yeah Mon we're gonna sign it
off here welcome you guys to Iceland for one last time thanks for the extra
lighting cuz it's still bright outside at one and um it's time to go to bed
