The expression on Kyde's face when asked "are you going to mark them off?" was priceless. It said "OF COURSE! what other option is there!" Great stuff. :-)

I normally don't like Travel blogs I find them pretentious and full of annoying music with people just trying to show off. I really enjoyed your down to earth style though.

"T-shirts I want are NEVER in my size". Thank you Eric, I needed that laugh.

I love how much joy you guys find in the quirky little things. Makes me hope that you find time to visit Norfolk and maybe spend a day boating about on the Norfolk broads while you are here.

Hi! i live in the isle of man and that wheel in laxey is still operating during certain times of the year, also a little fact about it is that it’s the world biggest working water wheel!

Great video. On the use of two taps... I think this goes back to a health and safety issue in the old days when houses had water storage tanks. The water in these tanks wasn't considered safe enough for drinking water so separate taps were used, with the cold one coming from the mains and the hot from the water tank. Most homes now don't need two taps and many do have mixer taps but the tradition of two taps has stuck.

So many comments about the taps, but only one comment about the cat? But...there was a kitty...a kitty! Darn cute, too.

Glad you guys like the fairy doors. I grew up in Castletown and a close friend of mine is actually the person who organised and created the whole thing.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

The kippers aren't just an Isle of Man thing, though undoubtedly the ones from Peel are good. You can get them all over the UK. Particularly tasty are the ones from Craster in Northumberland (NE coast of England, just down from Scotland). You can buy Craster kippers in Waitrose supermarkets. Other fish that are smoked in the UK are mackerel and haddock - both very good if they're smoked properly.

Kippers are found all over the UK and can are in most UK supermarkets. Kippers are a traditional breakfast food. It is so tasty!

Okay to tie things up in Peel. The Kippers by post place is a traditional kipper smoker called Moores. Behind that is a small industrial area which is given over to seafood processing. Most of the queenies landed on the island are brought there from the fishing boats and cleaned up. The shells and the bits and bobs are a byproduct, they are taken up Peel hill on a dump truck, (where the sea birds where waiting). They are tipped into the sea from quite a height , the seagulls go into a feeding frenzy when this happens. Over time the shells wash around the coast breaking up as they go, a lot of them get trapped on Fanella beach by the castle (which is man made) as a consequence of building a road to the castle and sea wall many years ago.

The "Chips and Cheese" dish is the type of dish common in countries with a past involving poverty so simple meals are appreciated (Cornish Pastie, Lancashire Hotpot, etc etc).

In the 1970's and 80's most pubs in northern England held a meat raffle. My local used to hold a quiz every friday with the prize being a hamper of meat. A few pubs in working class areas still keep up this tradition

that is a beautiful manx ginger cat. we had the classic manx tabby cat on the farm.. also the fish and chips in the marine in peel is amazing

I visited the island in the 1960,s with my parents, stayed in Douglas. My Dad was a keen motorcyclist and we ended up going to watch the TT (Tourist Trophy) I enjoyed it too as I was, at aged 12, in love with Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood ahhhh happy days!

,, that map scribble really made me laugh !! 😂

thanks for visiting our island and glad you enjoyed your visit. You were standing right outside my apt building next to Steve Hislop statue at 8:43. Great travel vlogs! Better than traditional TV programmes.

As a Brit, it's hilarious to me that you're interested by seagulls, pound land, and Chinese chippies. They're such mundane things if you live here haha. So many aggy people in the comments about the taps too - why? It was just banter. Plus, it is a daft system. After living in Asia for a year, it's going to be irritating to have to fill the basin every time when we go back home - sometimes you just want a 2-second rinse. No modern-day benefit to it we just haven't bothered to modernise our taps.

11:35 health and safety reasons. Historically British homes has a water tank in the attic and it would get fouled up with once living things, so mixer taps aren’t a thing in older construction. The cold water is considered clean, where the hot is sketchy.

Excellent video, love the story-telling, humour and observations. Well done Kyde and Eric.

Just answering Eric's faucet/tap question. Tap water is safe to drink in the UK but only from "cold" taps. So if you install mixer taps as is becoming more popular - you can't safely drink the water due to bacteria that can grow in warm water.

Love your videos, you make mundane things we take for granted so interesting.

Love this series!! Let's be honest we could have also have a separate video of Eric patting the Manx cat for 10 minutes solid haha :P I love how you guys embrace and enjoy the simplest of experiences, and the new food experiences make me laugh for things we take for granted sometimes, thanks for sharing!

I loved it when I visited there! I truly hope to go back again someday!

Kyde's last windy scene is straight out of a horry flick! Cool snippet!

Great video! Chinese run fish and chip shops are quite common in the uk. I think Chinese takeaway owners found the business model of a fish and chip shop easier as it's basically one cooking method, and only a handful of items, whereas a Chinese takeaway would be expected to have a menu of >100 options none of which can be cooked in advance of busy periods as you can at a chippy. Glad you went to the less usual areas and took us along for the ride too, thanks for making great videos!

We eat kippers in Sweden too, here they are called böckling. More Swedes probably eat that than surströmming, actually. And even more eat pickled herring. Now I really want to go to Isle of Man! Thank you for your joy of exploration, it´s contagious!

Those san francisco esc houses are actually all over the UK in all sea side towns margate brighton devon bournmouth its very common architecture here in the UK.

I like how they have fun little things like the fairy doors and the painted rocks. "Gimmie the tots!" :)

Hizzy was an absolute hero i met him a few times when he stopped riding the TT ( he became a circuit racer for the last few years of his career ) he attended as a fan and we were lucky enough to come across him watching one year and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours watch ing with him and getting the pros view of the TT

If you are on the Isle of Man at the right time of year you can see the Laxey wheel working! Keep up the good work.

Steve Hislop, is my all time favourite rider... he was brilliant on the roads, and brilliant on the short circuits. A true all rounder.

Wow I’ve never been so early for my favorite youtubers!! I thought I was going to hate not seeing you in asia for so long but I’ve come to realize it’s got nothing to do with asia and it’s just that I enjoy “spending time” with you two. Y’all really make my day when y’all upload. Thanks for being so great. Xoxo from Kentucky

Oh man... I'm from Quebec, Canada and as soon as I saw the bit on the chips, cheese & gravy, I knew this would be a take on the poutine. I have to say though, what makes a real poutine is the fresh squeaky cheese curds, and every time I have had pseudo-poutines with regular cheddar cheese, I was always disappointed. You're right though, for us at least this is 100% drunk food, but it totally does have that nostalgic aspect to it as well. Something tells me our version would be more worth your while!

Your videos are amazing! I'm addicted

I really enjoy how you create a contrast and relationship between modern culture/pop culture and historical artifacts and old stuff: like naming mining carts "Donkey Kong carts". It's just grand!

Whitby, on the North East coast is also famous for its kippers, which are hung and smoked at the bottom of the 199 steps leading up to Whitby Abbey. They are awesome!. 👍👍🙃🙃

I´m stuck at home on Gran Canaria with a throat infection today. Your videos have entertained me all afternoon. I´ve enjoyed watching you explore London where I used to live and the Isle of Man where my family are from. I love your cheerful style of presenting and I will definitely be watching more :D

Fab video, I’m going over from Liverpool in a couple of weeks. I haven’t been for years. Unusual for me to see people who have never smelled a smoked kipper, lol, plenty of people in the UK eat them.

Great video thanks guys!!!!!!!

Love your videos! This one has actually made me want to actually go there now

Just started watching your videos and loving them all. Great that you have experienced some of Northen England and the Isle of Man - if you ever revisit and require travel/history tips let me know only too glad to assist.

Lovely vlog by a charming couple, but yet again the far South of the island has been missed out. Go to Port Erin/ Port St Mary, Cregneash and the Sound because those are real gems 💎

Hi. Meat raffles are very popular here. My local has its on a Friday night and the place is packed out with excited punters. By-the-way, we can see the Isle of Man from the hills where I live. fill the bowl with half and half to get your warm water and did anyone tell you the native cats have no tails? Mountain pronounced sney, as in hey. Thanks for the vid.

I dont know what it is about you 2, but you make me smile and you share me stuff that I didnt know about the homeland that I live in, but.......................Keep it up, ill share a cup of tea and a crumpet with you sometime (And ill make you laugh yer socks off) :p

Hypnotic video! You make the IOM sound so fascinating! (genius!)

16:10: Ponnies should not be miners. I totally agree! Mechanisation of mines is one of the best things that ever happened to animals. Traditionally, you had horses, mules, and donkies that entered the mine when they were young and never saw the light of sun again. Their whole life was a dark, sad, hard life... and a short one! Engines and motors in mines saved them from all that, although it also meant that there hardly work animals anywhere anymore.

So many youtube videos of Americans complaining about the hot/cold tap thing in the UK. Here’s a simple guide to using this system. 1. Put plug in basin. 2. Turn on both taps and mix in the basin to your required temperature using your hands. 3. Enjoy optimum water temperature tailored to your specific needs. 4. After use, pull out plug. There, that wasn’t so difficult was it?

interesting vids for a newcommer to the isle. helpful intro. to the ilse for me,noannoying music backgrounds like other vid blogs usually do.Cheers!!

Really enjoy watching you enjoy life

Great video of the IOM. My wife and I have been there once but are going again this summer. You should be rewarded by the Manx Tourism Bureau. The IOM is beautiful and you did a good job showing it. One thing, Ramsey hairpin is one of the safest areas of the TT. The speeds around the curve are the slowest on the course.

Great video Kyde and Eric the manx kippers looked nice , And i think in the north east they are called smokeys in places near Whitby bay and up in Scotland.

You can get kippers from smokehouses all around the British coast. The most famous ones are from Arbroath in Scotland and are called Arbroath Smokies.

Great camera, crisp imagery. Great blog. From 29:00 you are in Peel, although that is not announced. 32:00 is headland, not a separate island - adjacent to Fenella's Beach and Peel Castle. St. Patrick's Isle close by is where the famous Irish saint landed and brought Christianity to the Island. I visited the Isle of Man about two weeks later in July 2018, from Canada - although I am originally from Birmingham UK. Isle of Man is the ancestral homeland of my late grandfather.

I've been devouring your vids since I found them a month ago. I live in Scotland......and I REALLY hope you visited Oban!

The answer to your two taps dilemma is a simple one, there is a plug and you put it in the plug hole and then fill the sink to the exact temperature you want and hey presto no scalding hot or freezing cold. This really does seem to completely bamboozle Americans so you are definitely not alone in finding this a mystery. Really enjoying your vlogs they are very entertaining.

25:22 Curling on the grass. 35:32 Eric's face in the mirror as Kyde talks about her Kippers. Thank you, enjoyed this tour of Manx.

Awesome guys.

"I thought they were stand up people, but they've got a Meth Church." Very good.....! A really informative and easy to watch video. I learnt a lot about Isle of Man. Thanks!

Don’t forget The Isle Of Man is in the Irish Sea, it’s not an Ocean. Great video btw 👍

One great informative video, thank you, a smiling couple of people with good will. I hope to visit IOM one day and if it is at the time of the famous TT- moto race, then my dream will be fulfilled.

You guys really know how to make good videos! Glad you made it to Laxey; it would've been criminal to miss it. I spent my honeymoon on the IOM and I grew to love it. That was in the 1970s and it doesn't seem to have changed much. A few observations: 1. In Britain, a city is a specific thing, not just any urban area. When you use the word for somewhere like Laxey, it sounds funny. I know in the US you use the word differently. 2. Manx kippers are famous and an important export for the island (very important at one time) and that's why they offer mail delivery. 3. Surprised you haven't heard of bowling; it's like curling without the ice. It's a popular sport in the UK and there are bowling greens in many towns and villages. 4. The trains used to operate all year round, all over the island. If you were in the middle of nowhere, you could hail them like a taxi and they would stop.

Glad you enjoyed the IOM it's a lovely island. Check out Liverpool sometime you'll be impressed, that's were I live.

Yeah, kippers were common place throughout the UK when I was a kid.

Aww, I wish I knew about your trip when you were doing it, I could have shown you where the wallabies are guaranteed to be found ! You guys drove past my house on this video.

Just put the plug in the sink and run the hot and cold till you have the temperature of water you want, easy! Another great video, keep it up!

Isle of Mann rocks were on Ebay back in the 90's. They were a huge hit. I guess somebody could get a website and start selling them again ..back then they were 4 Pound sterling plus shipping

lol, nothing messes up an American like seperate taps.

I can imagine chips, cheese and gravy being a teenager's go-to comfort food, but I think it would be a really bad idea to eat it when you're drunk. Think of the aftermath!!!

Its due to filler tanks and preventing dirty tank water getting into fresh mains water. Also your meant to plug and fill the sink. I do however agree and prefer mixer taps which are the new standard.

Excellent job.

A Manx cat! About time!

the rocks are a world wide thing from what i know... i follow someone that lives in az as well, like me, and she does it with her kids... her sister does it from cali and one of her stones made it to asia 😄 and i saw one before by the hoover dam 😊 its pretty fun

Hi guys I just recently stumbled on your videos love them

If you ever do return to the island, the Ballaugh curraghs are the best spot to find the wallabies, situated right behind the wildlife park they escaped from, I see them all the time there. Loved the video!

I'm pretty sure the cold should normally be on the right, not that, that would help with the two taps problem.

I've been watching your videos since you were in Japan. I'm from Andreas in the Isle of Man! I was so excited to see you're both there. I moved to Canada a few years ago now and would like to visit Scotland. Your videos are ace, I have been homesick and a little unwell lately - and you've both helped bring my spirits up tonight and made me laugh out loud a bunch, plus awesome shots of the landscapes and beauty of the Isle, and you two are so lovely together. Much love from Montreal, from a Manxy! P.S. The first place I plan to visit when returning to see the island would be Ballaglass Glen! there's a wizard!

Come back during the TT, even if you are not massive bike fans the atmosphere during the week is incredible 👍

My Mum lives on the Island - One year I saw a Pelican swimming off Port Lewaigue bay. Like the Pelican - I think the Wallabies are escapees from Curraghs Wildlife Park! I visit my mum each year to Fly Fish and fill her freezer with trout. I like to tell her, that I do this because I am kind. Did you do the Ramsey -- Douglas -- Port Erin (Electric/Steam Trains) trip? My first year to the Isle of Man - I actually saw a family of Basking Sharks in Port Erin. Your fight with our British tap systems made me chuckle.

'Chippy' is not generic, its basically short for Fish & Chip Shop, I've never heard of chips, Cheese & gravy before though, prefer Pudding Chips & Gravy myself

I'm looking forward to the scotland vids! Would you be able to come back to england in the future and explore more places?

Isle of man poutine, looks good.

The Isle of Mann correct name is ELLAN VANNIN and Snaefell means Snow Mountain These are old Norse words , Happy travels from Yorkshire England

27:23 Reminds me of the Spirited Away train station.

If you like narrow gauge railways, you should come to North Wales, we have some superb ones!

The shark: police tape = he probably ate someone. The bunting = (Kyde's right - it's party/holiday in IOM they probably hang it along all the beach promenades) the shark probably ate a holiday maker, and at the end, it's not the moon, it's a buoy (that floats in the sea to moor a dinghy to or to float a net or lobster pot from if you're a fisherman), so the holiday maker was obviously just arriving in his dinghy when the shark jumped out and ate him. Jaws is alive and well.

Really enjoy your videos! When I have time I try to keep up-to-date on your latest travels, but it's been a while. Last week I decided to try and play a little catch up on my lunch break at work. Pleasantly surprised to see your European trip, glad you made it over since it's a trip I hope to make soon. Only one little critique or, you could call it a suggestion... Go to a restaurant where they offer scallops and try them again. Scallops are supposed to be soft and buttery, kind of like satin in your mouth. They're definitely not crumbly. If you're getting them somewhere and they're giving to you a crumbly plate of scallops... Send them back! LOL enjoy

If you put the plug in the wash basin you can add hot and cold and then you get warm

cool you got to see a Manx Cat! i never when i was there. i also went in that chippy i guess thats the sort of thing a 16 yr old would recommend it's not the dish of the IOM

What about Fortunes kippers in Whitby?! You can see the smoking shed.

Bathroom sink design seems to be a European thing (split hot and cold)... but it does force you to use the basin as an actual basin. If you think about it... sinks in the US could probably just be a faucet with a tiny sink to capture the water - we never use the basin as a basin. And here in the US we call that bowling game Bocci... I was actually surprised you'd never played (thought EVERYONE had played Bocci). Well done video - and I never watch travel videos. I'd like to visit the Isle of Man someday because of the TT heritage... but I'm not into crowds so it's nice to know I could visit off-season and have a fantastic time (then continue to watch the TT in the comfort of my home).

Thank you. I am heading to the Isle of Man in April of 2018. I am not renting a car. Any suggestions on how to get around the island by foot and or public transportation. What would be best route. ? How long do you think it would take. Would like to sight see in London as well

It sounds as if you've got keep on marching to March to go CHU CHU! All aboard to Pound Land! Hey girl! XD Now I'm hungry. Dang it.

that was no sheep you saw. that was a wallaby with its coat on. it was a cold day

In all the travel videos I’ve watched on the Isle of Man , nobody ever visits joey on top of the mountain looking down over his kingdom

Oh no! I just got to the bit were you find that the steam trains were not running! You're so unlucky! I was visiting my mum, early June and it was working then.

If you guys ever come to Brisbane, Australia please let me know, i would love to show you the best meat pie you will ever eat, and show you a great little rainforest retreat where the wallabies skip past your firepit in the evening, and the birds and possums will come and eat right out of your hand.

Quite unexpected, must to say these Isle of Man videos of yours is a favourite. (together with Yamanashi Prefecture, if i remember right Prefecture). looks really nice... (Off topic, if your ever decide to go back to Sweden you should come during the warm bright summer. Christmas is a big thing, but other than that Sweden/ swedes pretty mush go in hibernation. If so, and you by any chance find yourself on the summer island of Öland, i could point out the "gems". And you should try Kroppkakor. Visby on the island Gotland is also nice.)
