Good morning everyone, welcome back to another video. Today we're gonna do
something a little bit different and we thought we'd show you what we eat in a
day whilst living in the van. Every day differs but we thought it'd be fun.
We're here just outside of Split today in Croatia so we're just gonna take you
along for the day and then show you what we consume I suppose. We've already got
the coffee on the boil and I am in need of it this morning.
Tastes good every single morning. One of the best decisions that we made before
coming into this van was investing in getting a good coffee press and making
sure that we always have good coffee as well. It just makes the morning feel so
much more special. And now it's time to make some breakfast. If you've been
watching our videos for a while you would have seen that where we've been in
different places we've kind of changed our breakfast but we usually stick to
the same one consistently for a while until we kind of get bored of it. At the
moment we are on our yogurt, muesli, fruit grind again as it is a little bit
warmer here in Croatia and it's just the easiest one for us to kind of do
quickly in the morning. So we've got yogurt, muesli, banana, blueberries,
sultanas and also some mandarin honey which I got talked into buying. And we
also always flavor our yogurts with some myprotein flavor drops. We have
loads of different flavors which we bought away with us but our favorite I'd
say is the marzipan flavor and yeah we just put a couple of drops in this into
just like normal yogurt and it just completely changes the yogurt to taste
so much better and sweeter. That's what we've been having in the mornings and it
works really well for us. Very tasty. I also forgot to mention that I like to
add cinnamon to the top of my yogurt as well. Mitch thinks I'm completely
disgusting for doing it but it is the season everything has to have cinnamon
on at the moment. So now we're going to enjoy this and then set sort of a game
plan for the day. So this is our second night staying at this little park up.
It's a sort of abandoned bar restaurant beach side pullover that we found on
We're currently on the decking of where the restaurant would be but because
we're in offseason everything's closed so we did this yesterday and we're doing
it again this morning. We're both just going to do a little workout because the
sea is here, the sun's shining on the decking so it's warming us up and I am
going to do a little Pilates workout and Mitch is going to do some sort of thing
with the equipment that we've got. I've just been finding getting into Pilates
since we've been in the Airbnb and I've been really enjoying it so far so
although I'm terrible and I've got a long way to go it's just fun to do it
especially with this view, you couldn't ask for anything else.
Guess what? Have we done it? Just refresh it. Yeah refresh it.
We've done it! That is crazy. Oh my god I'm so shy.
Oh that's amazing. I just got a message for you saying we're on a thousand. I don't want to get emotional but that's just so amazing.
I never thought we were gonna hit a thousand by New Year. It's not even
December and we've hit a thousand subscribers. That is insane. If you'd have
told us back in July when we first made our first YouTube video that we were
gonna hit a thousand subscribers four months later, I wouldn't have believed you.
And I know you definitely wouldn't have. No. Just want to say a massive thank you.
Yeah thank you so much. This is unreal. I can't believe it. Yeah I feel like I'll
have better words later but right now I'm in a bit of shock. I'm chuffed to bits. I can't believe it.
I'm not gonna stop smiling. Well done darling. I'm very proud of you. It's basically you talking the whole way through it.
Let's get this workout finished and then we can talk properly.
I'm actually feeling so much better after that swim. We're a little bit cold but now we're back in the van.
We've dried off and I'm gonna make some lunch. We're actually having different
lunches today which doesn't usually happen but Mitch is on like this instant noodle phase that
I'm just not on board with. So I'm gonna have a tuna sandwich with some cucumber. So I've got
some tuna, some leftover fresh bread, some mayonnaise which comes in a sachet which I
think's genius especially when we've got such a small fridge, some butter and yeah some cucumber.
I'm gonna put it all together and make a sandwich.
Now that I've made my lunch we're gonna make Mitch's and he's on his noodle grind like I've said.
I've just got to wait for the water to boil so I have a packet and half of noodles because I'm a fat boy.
And two eggs and a bit of my tuna because it was too much for me.
Let's see if I can do the same as yesterday. Oh no.
Coffee for the road. We wanted something hot and kind of sweet so I've just made a coffee for us
for the drive as it's about an hour to get into Split from here so keep our sweet tooth at bay.
Our first stop of coming into Split is hitting up the mall of Split as someone's lost a lot of weight
since we've come away. Mitch hasn't got a belt and his jeans are sagging down so much you can't
walk in them and because we'll be out later to celebrate we've dressed a bit nicer than what we usually would.
Do you keep recording me? Yeah. These fit me before I left, look at that.
Van life has starved him to death so now we've got to buy him a belt. That'll do.
It's better that I can walk now.
We've parked up for the night now and come into the centre of Split.
So now we're just going to head in, it's about 3pm, I fancy something from the bakery because we didn't get anything last time
and then stay in the centre of Split until the Christmas market. I don't know what time it comes on.
It'll be on now but you want to see it when it's dark with the lights on.
Yeah I want to see it when it's dark and we also might go to a pub for a little celebratory drink.
I know we never drink alcohol but it feels like it's a perfect day to celebrate with a beer.
I can taste it. Yeah, it sounds fun, I'm excited.
You know what's funny? We've already been to Split, we didn't film that day did we? No.
And the experience already is just completely different just because we've come on a weekday
and it's like 3pm and obviously there's Christmas stuff now but yeah, I knew what to do all along.
So this isn't normally what we eat every day, I wish it was but we've treated ourselves to some, I'd say they're both like cheesecake.
So we'll go sit by the harbour and watch the sunset.
I kind of panicked with my decision, you'd already got yours set out hadn't you? Yeah.
As soon as you got in there. It still smells good.
Okay so I'm not 100% sure what mine is because I was under a little bit of pressure but there was a few, it looked fresh.
Take a small bite, why don't you?
Oh it's got alcohol in it, it's like tiramisu.
No idea.
I knew I was getting cheesecake since I left the van so I'm proper excited for this.
Is that good? Wow that's so nice.
I just wanted to take this time to thank you again for allowing us to achieve this milestone.
1000 subscribers was such a big goal of ours and we're still in disbelief that we've hit it.
We've found so much love and passion for documenting our adventures and we appreciate this community starting to form here on our channel.
It brightens our day, the amount of love and support we receive in our videos each week.
So we want to say thank you, to you, for watching this.
So it looks like this is where the little Christmas celebrations start so I'm excited to have a look around.
We've even got an ice rink which is really cool but I don't know how much we'll be able to film and how much you'll be able to hear.
So we're just going to go have a look and try and get a drink too.
Okay so that was short lived.
The bars in there wanted over 5 euros for not even a pint of beer and that's out of a plastic cup.
So we want to celebrate but I don't want to pay and be ripped off.
So now we're just going to walk around and see if there is anywhere we want to go or if it is all that expensive.
Still on a budget.
We've compromised guys.
What we've done is because we're too careful with our budget and can't pay that kind of money.
We have instead gone to the local Tommy supermarket and picked up 4 beers for the price of less than 1.
So we love our van, we may as well go back.
We were only going to be paying to sit outside so we thought we may as well go back to the van.
We've still got some good food to make and we prefer to just do that.
I can put some Christmas music on in the van.
We don't have to be sitting in the cold paying a fortune.
1000 subscribers.
Cheers.
It's now time to make some dinner for the night.
Tonight we're going to go with something really easy and quick which is just some chicken fajitas.
It's one of our favourite things, anything Mexican we're all for.
And we've got some wraps here that are about to go off so we thought we may as well use them.
So I've got a pepper and an onion that I'm going to cut up.
I've got some chicken that's just defrosted from the freezer which will pop in there as well.
We always just make our own seasoning as well when cooking anything Mexican.
We bought some seasonings before we came away which are just like chicken seasoning and hot and spicy.
And we tend to use them as our base season a lot.
And we'll use that for the base of not only our fajitas but our enchiladas that we do as well.
We also like to add sauces to our fajita mix.
So I've also got out some sweet chilli, some of this jalapeno sauce and then also some mayonnaise that we might use.
Cheers.
Well this is where we're going to finish the video because this is all we're going to eat now for the night.
It's already getting pretty late so this will be it.
After we've washed up then we'll probably get into bed.
But if you did enjoy please give the video a thumbs up.
Make sure you're subscribed if you're not already.
And hit the notification bell just so you get reminded when we upload.
And that's about it I think.
Have you got anything else to add?
No I just want to eat my fajita.
Thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one.
Bye.
