Alright so I'm at the airport
0:28
I found a flight to Endoven in the Netherlands for £9. pound so this is where we start the journey let's go
0:56
all right we made it so we're in endorven somewhere in the Netherlands and
1:00
And we're down to £91. The time at the moment is 9.13, which is perfectly in the breakfast period
1:09
So I'm going to walk around, try and find somewhere to have breakfast. And then we're off to lunch
1:13
Right, so we have a slight problem. I can't get my phone to work. I've turned on the roaming
1:19
I switch off and on. I've done everything. Without my phone, I don't know how far I'm going to get
1:25
Excuse me, mate. How much is a taxi to the Central? It's like €40
1:29
€40? euros what's the cheapest way I can use to get there the bus taxi costs about 40
1:36
euros we don't want that blow through the whole budget the boss apparently is
1:40
around five euros we're gonna check that out jump on a bus heading to the
1:44
central all right so I'm just about to grab a ticket and I think it says for
1:48
15 minutes it might be free I know the word gratis means free because when I
1:54
was in Spain that was the only word I was using to try and survive gratis
1:58
please so here is this one e 50 minutes gratis so I'm guessing 50 minutes on the
2:06
bus is free 30 minutes is three euros and for the whole day is 35 years unless
2:11
I'm getting this wrong trying to speak to someone to see if I've got this right if I do then I might be saving a lot of money that's my boss
2:18
hi um it's is it 50 minutes gratis oh on the machine it says 15 minutes is
2:27
gratis for the parking oh how much is the ticket by the machine are you gonna
2:35
wait for me oh I was ah thank you all right so it turns out the gratis is for
2:44
the parking spot it's not for the ticket so I need to grab a ticket before the
2:47
bus leaves in one minute Thank you
2:57
Happy days. We're on the bus and we're off to the central
3:01
Alright, so the bus cost us €4.50 which is equivalent to £3.86
3:09
We're going to round it up and say £4. I've just searched vegan breakfast near me and I found somewhere 7 minutes away
3:18
It's called The Happiness Cafe. Let's go and have some food. So right now it is 10 o'clock. So we're still good on time. We're good on budget
3:26
Yeah, let's enjoy the challenge. All right. We are at the happiness cafe. Let's see what the prices are saying
3:31
So pancakes around 12 euros protein bowls and yogurt bowls around 10 euros
3:39
95 and nine euros 95 so far went down to 87 euros
3:45
So I need to start thinking carefully about how much I want to spend in each place
3:51
This being the closest vegan place I can find I'm just gonna have to cough up about 10 euros
3:57
Have breakfast and then head off to the next place. And this is how you do breakfast
4:02
So this is a blueberry banana pancake with chia jam and happiness granola
4:08
It looks pretty decent for the size and price This breakfast cost me more than the flight it took to get me here
4:16
So this was 12 euros equivalent to 10 pound 30 pence So we minus that from our total and we are down to
4:31
It's not looking too bad. Alright, that's breakfast done. Let's keep going
4:44
Alright, so I found a bus to Dusseldorf, Germany for 12 euros 90. Fairly economical
4:51
Now I was thinking to look for another cheap flight but then the whole journey getting to the airport
4:55
going through checking in and then flying there and then coming, that's going to waste way too much time
5:01
So this bus is like the best option right now. 12 euros 90, Bob's your uncle
5:05
Let's get over there and have some lunch. 43 minutes to Nasseldorf and yeah we're talking about how comfy the seats are
5:16
Luckily it's only I think one hour something journey so it's not too long
5:21
We're almost there now. How are you finding the journey? Actually when you compare with the trains, it's much cheaper, more comfortable
5:28
I'm gonna have a good look, find a good vegan restaurant, and I'm gonna have lunch on a budget
5:37
Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially in Dusseldorf, Germany. This is location number two and we're going to find lunch
5:45
Okay, walking down the road we found some fast food, some vegan fast food
5:50
8 euros, 7 euros, 9 euros. They're not too bad, but I feel like I can find something a little bit healthier for that same price
5:59
Let's go on a gander. Update, I found some vegan food but it's a 17 minutes walk away
6:09
It's 11 minutes on public transport but then I've got this scooter in front of me and it's
6:14
tempting me. Jours c'est les courbes. So now I'm thinking let me probably find out the price and then I can assess whether it's
6:21
a good investment. 24 times 10 is £2.40 times another 10 is £4.80
6:30
but since it's 17 minutes we'll say maybe £4.60? 50? We've done the assessment. It's not a viable option
6:41
Walking is what we are embarking on. Is this an all-you-can-eat buffet
6:50
No, it's not all you can eat. No? You can take one plate and you can fill it up and you're all prepared for plain
6:58
Alright, okay. Alright, so like we said, we're looking for something more healthier but in the same price range
7:05
Now this is sized according to your belly or how much you can eat
7:09
So for a small plate called clean is 9 euros 90. For a bowl is 11 euros 90
7:17
and for normal, maybe takeaway box, is also 11 euros 90. So initially I budgeted 16 euros for this
7:29
but you know what, I've got it already, so I might as well
7:33
Let's eat, it's lunch, right? And there you have it. A mix match of delicious, healthy options
7:40
Definitely better than Burger King. Right so I couldn't finish it so I packed it up in a to-go box and then he just let me top it up
7:56
with like some extra deliciousness to fill up the box so it's not all looking empty inside. So yeah
8:03
now we've got some takeaway food for the road. Happy days. Alright so I found somewhere to sit
8:09
and charge my phone. It's on like 4% and I can't do anything at all without it. So we're gonna
8:17
hang around here for a bit maybe look on the menu so I'm not just sitting here
8:23
looking like a nuisance well it does mean spending more money the challenge
8:28
tomorrow or like the day to challenge is to take someone on a date to the most
8:34
expensive country in the world 400 pound I think in hundred dollars but it might
8:42
make it a little bit harder so hundred pound is the best but now I trying to to look for a date I already taken You already taken I taken I so sorry Oh shame
8:55
You know what, that guy is a lucky guy. It's a girl. It's a lucky girl
9:00
It's a lucky girl. Even more exciting. It is. This cookie cost me €2.07
9:06
She gave me a 10% discount. So we take that from our €44 and we have €42
9:12
euros which still isn't too bad all right so I'm in the station and I figured the easiest way to do
9:17
this is to just walk up to them and ask for the cheapest ticket to another country and then from
9:23
there I can work out the odds and see how much I have left hello mate I'm trying to find the
9:30
cheapest ticket to a different country other than the Netherlands because I just came from it
9:37
All right, I'm not in luck at the moment. The cheapest ticket out is 50 euros
9:45
I've got 42 pounds. So I need to figure out another way to get to another country
9:53
It is currently 5.33. I found something interesting. Instead of flights that might take too long or coach that might be slightly expensive
10:03
I found a car pool. called bla bla car for four pound fifty i mean it sounds a bit ridiculous
10:12
bla bla car um i'm still waiting to find out whether it's a joke or not but i've booked it
10:19
now this ticket says the car pulling goes all the way to france right but it stops at belgium
10:27
in lege which is our third country now to be honest it does seem a bit too good to be true
10:34
because first of all how does carpooling work and second of all why is it so cheap
10:40
four pound fifty driving cross-country so it's almost one where you need to see it to believe it
10:47
i need to walk around look for this guy clarify where he's dropping me off because at this time
10:52
it's almost six and i don't want to get to the third country too late all the taxis seems to be
10:59
parked around here so I just need to find this blah blah car person
11:04
Hello, hi I have a ticket to Akan and I'm looking for you I'm at the taxi
11:16
rank. I'm so sorry I can't understand what he's saying. Hello? There is a police department, Bundespolizei
11:25
So you go straight. Yeah, and then there's a restaurant block house. Okay
11:30
So we're on route only problem is this guy doesn't seem to speak a word of English
11:34
I've just had it translated turns out he's just further down the road waiting for me in front of block house
11:40
So I'm gonna head over there hopefully find him jump in this and then head out. I'm Toba. Nice to meet you
11:47
All right, we're all set. So we found the car and I think we're waiting for one more person and
11:52
and in total there are three people on the carpool but at least I think but then there's more people
11:58
coming now so it might be more but I think everyone's paying about four euros fifty so it
12:03
works out to be like a decent amount to drive cross-country but the only problem now is it
12:08
stops in Akan and Akan is still in Germany so from there I need to figure out how to get to the border
12:15
and how to get to the closest city after the border which is Lege
12:22
oh all right fell asleep in the car for a bit but we are somewhere in Aachen
12:34
there's a bus stop here but nowhere near the central I just had a look on my phone
12:39
and it says it's 40 minutes to where I need to get the official train or the
12:43
official bus to Belgium So I've kind of just jumped on a bus along with everyone else
12:59
I didn't see anyone tapping so I guess it's a free ride
13:05
This would take me to Busho at least the central of Bakken and then there I can get the official bus or official train out of the country So this is a journey and a half this But at least I not spending extra on this one
13:20
So I've just gone off the first bus. And now I need to jump on another one
13:24
Which is going to take me to the station where I can get the metro to Belgium
13:28
The carpool was £4.50. Bringing our total down to £37. Hopefully when I get to the metro station
13:39
I can get a nice cheap ticket straight to Belgium. Alright, so I just got a novel bus and I think this one might take me to the metro station
13:48
So let's find out. So we made it to the station. Now those two buses didn't cost me a thing
13:53
I want to find out how much the train will be to Lege
13:59
I'm trying to get a train to Lege. Lege? How much is the ticket
14:07
12 euros 18. the tickets are about 12 euros but if I do it at this machine it might come a
14:14
little bit cheaper. Alright so this has come to more or less the same price he
14:18
mentioned 12 euros 80 so we're just gonna go for it and then we're gonna head
14:22
to Belgium finally. Alright I'm on the train well turns out my journey isn't as
14:27
straightforward as I'd like I need to get off at the next stop or at the second
14:31
stop and wait on the platform six minutes for the train going to lay now
14:37
Now the ticket was 12.90€ in pounds, that's 11.08p. Now we've minused that from our total of 38 pounds and we have 27 pounds left for dinner
14:50
So that's looking pretty good. That's looking pretty good. Right, let's get to Belgium and see what it has to offer
14:56
Alright, I think we're officially in Belgium, kind of somewhat. Maybe I'm close to the border, but my phone has pinged up and says
15:06
Welcome to Belgium, you need to pay £2 a day. So, happy days, but en route we're almost there
15:12
Now here's the thing. This train actually goes to Brussels as well
15:16
But I don't know if my ticket can take me all the way there
15:20
And if I want to risk it. Right, so we might have a slight problem
15:27
I've just searched for some vegan restaurants in Lea. And most of them are closed
15:32
and the remaining are closing at 9 p.m. I've looked on the board and it says we're arriving at
15:39
Leh at 9.08. Alright, it's official. We made it to our third country with 27 pounds left. Now I just
15:48
need to find something to eat. Alright, so I've just come out the station and I can see quite a few
15:52
shops selling food. I thought I'd come out and everything would be shot by 9 p.m. but there's
15:58
quite a few of them still open. Alright, so I've looked around a bit and Domino's Pizza seems to
16:02
be the only thing with a vegan option on the menu now I wasn't planning to have
16:08
pizza for dinner but at this point I really don't mind all right so this is a
16:13
vegan margarita pizza for 10 euros the equivalent of 10 euros in pounds is 8
16:18
pound 59 plus I'm thinking since I've got that extra budget why don't I put
16:24
that into finding somewhere to sleep tonight thank you so much thank you all
16:31
Alright, okay. This bed cost me £17 and something pence
16:46
And it's in a room full of, I think, six beds. There's like private bathroom and toilet
16:56
Alrighty, and that is how you have breakfast, lunch and dinner dinner in three different countries all for under a hundred pounds. I've had some
17:05
money left but I've even booked a room in there for 17 pounds. I hope you've enjoyed
