SHOCKED: they tried to ROB us in BENIDORM
I just think you think you're sorted and clever with the way you do things and then there's always someone one step ahead if they want that if they want that Target they'll find it um so just not make sure that's not you morning hello good morning we're just at the service point on this uh site um and we're getting ready to head off toward Alicante it's a bit of a drive this morning it is a bit Yeah but we had an extra night here so yeah filling up the water right now and emptying the gray waste um yeah and then we're pretty much ready to go but some of the hoses some of the Taps that we've found as have been going around yeah they've got are they bigger or smaller yeah so you know your normal Garden attachment where you clip your hose on some of them are either bigger or they're really small so I will look for some adapters if I find any I will put the link in the description somewhen as soon as I find them probably when I'm home now but um I'm sure there's some out there and if anyone knows any put it in the comments of where you can get them from yeah we've fall short of that a couple of times but we've got the Jerry can bucket thing so we've been able to fill up yeah it always takes some sort of way of filling up if you can't attach a hose that's what I say but we say again this place is great it's €10 per night €4 for 24 hours 4 KW of electric yeah 4KW electric so I'm going to go and pay now and see actually how much electric we did use um which I will let you know but it's a great little site if you don't need electric€10 and everything around it jump on a bus to Malaga it's brilliant yeah like we say if you come on the site just watch the way in and be um careful um because there is one route in that you know depending on the the uh clearance of the bottom of Motorhome but there's one way in really if you look at our last Vlog of this actual campsite you'll find out more about that yeah right I'm going to go pay yes i've been in to pay for that that was €42 for the three nights which is obviously three times the €10 plus the €12 for the electric so that's good um yeah pretty little site that's the reception there when you come in just go up there into the shop and pay in there and there's Lee and uh as we drive out we will show you the correct way out of this site as well and then there is a tiny little slop here we're just going to take this steady do you want me to check it get out and check no no should be fine just waiting for the person do you want me to go do you want me just to check it for you as you come out uh no it'd be fine there's only two ways out of here so as long as I take it on this side angle it should be alright God that window noise I thought was and it's this bit here isn't it as well there we are and there's the bins We will do the bins and there's the bins just as you come out so we're just going to stop here and uh quickly do the bin cuz this road is really wide you can get about three cars down here all to together at the same time so you all right yeah yeah obviously it makes me a little bit nervous now but um it is what it is and you just got to keep motoring on and um if it comes up again then I have to fix it again but I will look at trying to get that sorted in some way I'm sure there's a better way of doing that outlet now it's taking me out this way Have to drive right out of it cuz it don't look like that bit as a road oh right that's what it is yeah so yeah do come the way we are going now if when you're coming out because it takes you straight onto the motorway whereas if you turn left at any point down here you'll end up on a dirt track, clear, it's a bit early around here you okay well the engine's pretty good to be fair yeah so we've got a bit of congestion I think it's just this area around Murcia um on your way to Alicante there is another turnoff you can do but we don't think it could be ideal for the motorhome so we're just going to have to sit it out aren't we yeah 6 minute delay that's Alright I think it might be because what's happening I think it might be because we are joining another road we'll soon find out I don't think there's anything to worry about wonder if that's um speed camera van definitely going to make any money today is it Alicante here we come we've arrived in one of our favorite spots from last time when we came out to Spain and uh where in is it Urbanova I believe it's called um quite busy today um we managed to get a spot right near the the beach again on this side we were packed a little bit further up there last time I believe just up there and Alicante is over there that's where we are we did have to wait a little bit over there just parked over there till a spot came free near the edge as you can see it's pretty packed I think we're just going to go for a Wonder aren't we yeah yeah for a wonder and then when we get back if we're happy definitely happy where we are we might have to go up in a chock cuz we a little bit down on one side yeah and so we're here two nights so you might find someone would want to squeeze in there to be honest I didn't go far enough but it is what it is that's what I mean we'll see what happens well good morning from me and good morning for me so yeah we had a peaceful night here I will put the place um in the description um or Jodie will and I will um place the title here but we have moved just to the middle of the car park for now um and we moving on today so not sure how much of a vlog this one's going to be but hopefully if you keep tuned there'll be some exciting um things coming up of where we're actually going to be going Jodie's just enjoying a life4touring Brew so yeah so why have we moved to the middle of the car park I feel like I'm been interviewed you are um I'll show you so we were parked if you can see where that car is parked in between the Caravan and the motorhome that's parked the other way um yeah we were parked there however um we came here uh in October time wasn't it last year and we put a video out called disgusting so and that's got um more about this area so you do want to know more about this area look for our one called disgusting sort of like October time um and we weren't expecting to find the same thing happen again uh obviously we didn't want to film it or anything like that but we don't even know if it's same guy look like the same guy um emptying his um cassette out in the same area so basically he started emptying his waste um it looks like he a long term here and there's a couple of long term isn't they that there for for a while by the look of it um and he emptied his waste out sort of channeled it into the ground dug away some of the sand didn’t he which do you know what it's the fact it smells do you know what I mean he shouldn't be doing it anywhere and it and it was smelly um and then he was hovering around sort of dust time checking see if we had a blinds down and stuff and we were getting a little bit agitated to what he was doing and then he went and emptied his cassette uh on the beach basically um yes we could report it we've had a chat about it and we've decided just to warn people we're going to put some on search for sites about being in that corner um and we wanted to let you guys know if you come here don't park in that corner we had flies all over the van this morning didn't we and it's not because of the Heat and stuff it's because of that area I mean if he has been there a while we don't know how long he's been emptying his cassette there um we didn't want to spoil it for people here and we think if we report something like that one they might not even care uh until they might shut it down for everybody but if you are in this area over here like if you can see where these vans are and they can see right out at the front it's all right down there and um down there there's lots of Vans down there it's a really pretty area and that prominade just down there where you can see the high-rise buildings that prominade is lovely and the beach down there is lovely um I just wouldn't use that corner and that part of the beach I mean we were going to sit out there wasn’t we this morning and that on the chairs and that on the beach bit cuz you can get your chairs out on the beach part just not in the car park um but we don't know so it sort of put us off a little bit be like Jodie says being in that corner and today we actually was planning a good old beach day cuz it's on the beach front um and going down to the prominade and it was quite busy yesterday as everyone on the beach and stuff it would be a bit quiet today being a Monday but um yeah we was planning a beach day however the weather has changed so it's now cloudy even possibly I don't know if how true the app's going to be but there might be a little bit of rain later so where we're going later we have bought it forward for one day um and we're going to go there one day early I contacted the site no problem we can get on there today so we parked basically here out the way of the Flies um so we can leave here around 11: and we got an hours drive then to our next destination um which I'm looking forward to I think that's him wanding around again yeah maybe it's filled his Cassette up again so we're just finishing doing some work I've done a little bit of work I'm going to do some more on on the Travel we're about an hour away for our motorhome yeah I'd say it shows less than that on Google Maps but I always give a bit of time in the motorhome so I reckon an hour we'll be at our next location going to say goodbye to this place just a quick reminder it is a lovely lovely place but that van that I was talking about before is gone now so maybe just a weekender uh doesn't know how to do his Services respectfully but yes it's a you can get a bus as well just to let you know from over there just where the cars are now that roundabout and it takes you all the way in to Alicante and I think it costs about 2 or three quid and it lasts about 20 minute 20 minute Journey something like that so if you're comfortable leaving your van and you want to go visit Alicante while you're here you can are you ready to go I am yeah just going to quickly just double check this done quite a few miles yesterday so it's holding on so that's all good but I am going to get it looked at properly when I get back cuz I want some changes to it um because it's annoying me that it's so easy to knock off cuz like I said before it's been knocked a couple of times now and um that was the first time it's literally come right off so I need to get it looked at right let's go then Music the joys of the trees so this pitch is a decent sized pitch um that we've arrived to and Jodie's now sussing out a new pitch that the uh guy is trying to look for, for her because um yeah the trees get in the way I'm now on a pitch pitch pitch we had was down there you see it's not that bad when you got to look at your turning angles to get on it's not the size of the pitch that's the issue but it can be these trees I mean I even got one there um but I did reverse it in and it took a few forward and back but we got a lovely size pitch here and uh yeah it's great we're all level but I've left it for you to tell everyone where are we bet you a really good driver and just yeah that all it probably scared me more than it scared him there's always a challenge sometimes when you're a big motorhome especially getting on some of these pitches but I think we should go for a beer because we're going to go for a beer because we are in Benidorm we're in Benidorm back to Benidorm made it back to Benidorm we're going to be here for a few days so we will be visiting um places we didn't visit last time yeah cuz of my mosquito bites in and my legs were quite bad I couldn't walk very far and I didn't feel like it half the time we only had one night out didn't we last time one night out last probably one day out so this time um yeah we're going to give it a bit more of a a go of going out and exploring certain parts I say we didn't explore last time mainly uh we're going see the Oldtown yeah it's the castle but we haven't seen any much else on there have we so we going to have a look no anyway we'll pick you up in a bit and we'll show you around the site that we're on and there we have it just like that we're all set up isn't that right dear so we've had to put the awning up because it is raining um Starlinks up as well and yeah we're going to chill out for a bit now hi good morning we will show you around the site very shortly but there's just something want to talk to you about before we go off and carry on with this Vlog and we've been here since Monday it's now Wednesday Monday evening we went out let our hair down a bit had a few drinks cuz we haven't done that yet for a while have we no we haven't so we well we hadn't up until that point um we went into a couple of what we thought were quiet to bars um and Lee was paying with his card to get the drinks um and his card went missing he didn't realize at first his card was missing until he was getting some notifications that money was coming out of your bank didn't you or trying to at the time we thought though that it at the time we for a few drinks you know you don't really um you go into a bit of not understanding what's going on mode and I think that's part of the game is the confusion there was a lot of confusion yeah so the card went missing but we didn't realize until after Lee realized there was notifications from his bank coming up um and we were concerned that our savings had been taken um with it happening in the same bar because he remembers having his card in this bar and then the card went missing in the same bar we hadn't moved um I wanted to get the premises the staff to phone the police because it happened on their premises they were having none of that um I was not happy because I couldn't understand why they wouldn't help us deal with it they wanted us off the premises um and I'm saying well this has happened in your bar the what is off the premises completely um to that point Lee went off did the right thing uh phoned the police himself we did report it they said there's not a lot we can do but you need to go into your bank and make sure your card is stop which Lee had done anyway um and luckily they hadn't taken any money which we then realized after we'd come down a bit from the scenario we realized they hadn't taken any money from us uh if that had been the case we would have had to have just come back straight away the next day anyway um we couldn't have carried on with the holiday or anything or the trip or anything like that um it there's nothing we can do about it I know that it can happen in any place I'm not just blaming benador but I think the big tourist hot spots this kind of thing is done we believe we were targeted in the pub before the one that it happened in and maybe followed um we're not 100% on that either so we can't prove anything but the thing we can do is just most of you may be aware of this kind of thing anyway we just wanted to let you know because yesterday it just took it out of me the whole thing um there's to the point where I'm not taking a bag out with me nothing anything I take out and if I go out I wear my shorts the pockets in the front and my stuff will be in my front pockets um Lee's now all online um like uh what is it Apple pay and that now yeah so well one a bit lazy really is I was a bit old school using my card um and yeah I just never bothered with the virtual cards or putting the card on your Apple pay or the Google pay or whatever they call it but obviously we we have apple so so yeah so that's so obviously my card was stopped they issued me a virtual card on Revolut which is great um and I have used it to pay for things after that which is you don't even need a PIN for that so well people like to just use their cards don't they it's an easier thing for people not everybody does have their things on Apple pay and want to use their phone for everything some people just use their phone for making phone calls and that's it or texts you know that not everybody is on their phone all the time like younger people might be your um people that had to learn like ourselves a bit a bit older but not everybody's using the phone like that and they can take your phone anyway or your phone can die and then you haven't got uh a way of paying so um I think we're future we're going to take a bit of cash with us um and have the cards on the phones make sure we not take any physical cards out with us whatsoever we were looking in the scenario in the end that they didn't get what they wanted it like I said it can happen anywhere it's a tourist hot spot here and I they rely on the British having drinks and I've read loads um what can happen um but it doesn't mean it is going to happen we just wanted to let you know that this happened to us and it could have been a lot worse because we just wanted to make you aware when you do come to places like this and you are out and about enjoying yourself chatting with people or just please be very Vigilant of your belongings um and when you're meeting people for the first time don't trust everything you know just be just be aware um that because some of these people uh pretend to be tourists uh and they uh socialize with you and pretend to make friends with you when they've got other plans and another agenda so and I think that's very similar to what might have happened to us we we're not sure um so I'm not going to name the bar because we can't prove it um that it actually happened when we're in there even though we know it did so I don't want to name the bar it's not about naming and shaming people it's about just making people aware because I wanted to do something it can make you feel a little bit powerless when something like this happens even though I did challenge it on the night I think they were just laughing at me for challenging it um and um you know I when it makes you a bit powerless you want to do something about it and we weren't going to say anything on on our videos where we Lee we said we won't we'll just leave it and forget about it but I'm struggling with the fact that I can't do anything at all so this is my way of doing something is just to let people know what happened to us and just be aware now saying all that we um are going to carry on with our holiday and we are going to enjoy ourselves uh I'm we taking you out with us later for the next Vlog that we're doing after this one so we're going to show you around Benidorm on a more positive note um and some of the nice things Benidorm has to offer so it's not about Benidorm it's just about um just being aware wherever you are um um and we're going to show you around the site so um I hope you understand why I had to put this on you uh just a point to note we did meet lovely couple actually um that night and it was great meeting you guys we did give you a sticker so if you do watch this say hi um and we're we're not on about you guys oh no God no this was after anyway this was after that so yeah after that but um yeah I got nothing to say really on it but yeah it's just um I just think you think you sorted and clever with the where you do things and then there's always someone One Step ah head if they want that if they want that Target they'll find it um so just not make sure that's not you um anyway we're going to go show you around the the campsite now we are at camping area Blanca in Benidorm it's quite high up um from the other campsites at el raco and Villasol they're further down towards the Benidorm main town and we quite like it because it's out the way and it's a nice peaceful site we really like it so this this is the pitch that we're on and they are fully service pitches you get quite a bit of space you get the normal trees you just want make sure you can fit in without bashing a tree and you still got the space there's showers and toilets there men and women they have quite a few of these blocks started around there's another one at the end down there I think there's another one somewhere as well um and uh we're just going to show you around a little bit so that's an empty one so you can see how big they are pretty good and you get a lot of seasonal and people with permanent like setups as well and there's the other toilet block and then up there you have um a laundry it's up there around the corner isn't it yeah then you get these little bungalows that you can me out as well not quite sure how much they are but we'll put the link in the description so you can check it out so yeah there's a few of them all lined up down there which you can see what I would say this was the picture was on last time and it was a lot easier to get on however it is smaller as you can see the trees the trees seem higher but yeah we like where we are at the moment to be honest and then this little pathway here takes you down to the bar doesn't it yeah be quite busy actually would it no yeah have a look think it is yeah looks quite buzy today the side of the cafe and bar bit is Lee no it's the sunbathing area yeah you got two sides and in the I suppose more in season months they have this open at the moment it's shut just to keep the warmth in in the mornings I find a lot of people like to have their little swim in the morning here um I haven't been in the pool yet um however hopefully I will get in the pool one day while we're out here we we'll see but yeah great pool um and I'm assuming it's quite warm in there with the sun beaming on it however I reckon you could probably get in there with the weather the way it is now without that on it it still be okay and just for the record I haven't been in the pool either another video that we did last year when we're here um that's on our channel so I want to go back and have a look at that um and that showed you a bit more of the bar area and stuff and what the pool looked like when the cover wasn't on if you wanted to check that out you can um it's quite busy in there so I didn't want to be waving the camera around um and plus was music on as well so it was quite difficult to show you but hopefully you got the gist um and we're going to leave this one here are we yes so thanks again to everyone that's subscribed to the channel and supporting us and we will see you on the next one till then bye see you [Music]
