Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

... and the leopard herself was amazing! Thanks for watching.

My pleasure!

Thanks again.

Thanks for watching, pleased you appreciate thed photos.

Thanks for watching!

Would you prefer I left on the original sound so you could hear all of the car engines at the sightings?

Thanks and welcome.

Yes, it's amazing how they interact with each other.

Black Horse Square due the statue in the centre. Maybe it's just the English being too lazy to pronounce Praça do Comércio! It certainly was a long walk to Campo d'Ourique, and all uphill, but we got to see some beautifully tiled buildings that we would otherwise have missed. We're going back to Lisbon (on a cruise) in December and we'll visit some of the places we missed. It's a beautiful city and we'll have to book a week there at some point. Thanks for watching.

The Burmoor Tarn approach semed to be better to me, is there a path? Irton Pike was one I did about four years ago when I also picked up the Circuit of Devoke Water. I actually filmed that one with a GoPro but for some reason the sound was messed up so much of the footage is unsuable. Thanks for commenting.

Glad it was helpful. One update is that Hagia Sofia now charge a whopping €25 entry and you can't even go into the ground floor where I went so, maybe, just watch the video again! At the moment all the other mosques are still free.

Absolutely agree. We'll visit the Garden de Regularia next time we get to Lisbon. Just love the city and will certainly go again.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

There will be more Kruger videos but it is getting more and more expensive to get over there. At the moment we are planning to go back next year possibly in late August but it might be later depending on finances. If I could I'd go two or three times a year! Believe me we are more frutstrated than you are! Thanks for your interest and your patience.

Magic and addictive! Can't wait to go back.

Every camp has its own unique points. Letaba is good but I'm not sure which is my favouirite.

Yes, that was a special day!

It's a good base with the opportunity to go north as well as south. You'll enjoy it.

Just got to give it a go! Even if I fail at least I'll know I tried.

Pleased it helped. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, Dave. Sadly I didn't see any ponies, I think the sound of me gasping for breath might have frightened them away!

It's a beautiful city indeed!

Thanks for watching.

Buying tickets was not a problem, there was no queue there and, as far as I could see there was no 'fast entry' gate. Once inside everbody ends up climbing the same stairs so I don't see any advantage in buying tickets in advance although there might be times when the ticket office is busy so it could save a little time.

Thank for watching, glad you enjoyed them.

I've checked and it was indeed originally the Crown Odyssey built in 1988 for Royal Cruise Line. In 1989 it was sold to Norwegian where it operated as Crown Odyssey until 1996 when it was renamed Norwegian Crown. Fred Olsen bought it in 2006 and renamed it Balmoral.

Many thanks for watching!

We left the ship about 8 am and walked to the train station at Messina to catch the 09:15 train and were in Taormina by about 10:15. Had about 4 hours in Taormina which was plenty and caught the 14:28 train back which got to Messina at 15:36 so that gave us a couple of hours in Messina. The cruise port in Messina is very close to the town so you can judge your time in Messina depending on your all aboard time. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, your words are much appreciated. When I started doing these videos I didn't think they would be at all successful as nearly all travel type videos on You Tube are by young people saying 'Look at me' and that's not my style. They seem to have found an audience though and I've been astonished at how many views I've had and the number of subscribers. Quite unexpected!There will be more Kruger adventures in the latter part of next year but in the meantime I've got a few Lake District walking videos coming and maybe a bit more cruising. Hang on till next year if that's not your thing!

Thank you so much! I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

Wrong video? Presumably you mean Naples which has some amazing metro stations. Thanks for watching.

Not busy at all either way, no need to book. Glad it was helpful.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

We took the Dentur Avrasya ferry from Kabatas to Üsküdar. Chose this one because it runs every 10 minutes throughout the day and therefore gives plenty of opportunities to get back to the ship on time. Kabatas is a mile from Galataport heading right as you exit the port (basically straight along the main road, you can't really go wrong) or you can head left and catch a tram at Tophane to take you two stops to Kabatas.

@@oldcodgerwithacamera Thank you for the helpful information.

I think most ships now dock at the new terminal. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't enthralled with Arrecife!

I have never found Arrecife as bad as your making it out to be and always spend sometime there when on island. Guess you should have done some research before you went. Also you are giving the wrong impression of the bus service as other lines are much more frequent than the one you chose and I find the bus service excellent compared to some places. Most people wouldn’t take the bus to visit places such as this in Lanzarote as car hire is reasonable and may be better option if ship was in port for most of day.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

We used to go to Tenerife every Christmas and I’ve climbed Teide six times. It’s quite easy although the one time when I sprained my ankle at the top and took about six hours to hobble down wasn’t fun! Those were the days and now I’m huffing and puffing up the Outlying Fells! Just come back from two weeks at Ulpha and Finsthwaite and managed to bag 26 of the tops and I’m determined to do the rest before I get the Zimmer frame. I’ll be posting videos of my exploits but by the time they’re ready you’ll have them done and dusted.

@@oldcodgerwithacamera think I'll be doing the ulpha fells next saturday.. I'd be tempted to take the cable car to teide but would like to do it from the very bottom atleast once.. I hear you need a permit to get to the summit

It’s a bit difficult to give you instructions here on how to find the bus stop but here is a link to a map I’ve created that you should be able to download drive.google.com/file/d/1-RZOpdioXUz_ZOAO4I48WcPgzUeGQ1Oj/view?usp=sharing If you have your own mapping app (or Google maps) the GPS co-ordinates are 37.85650, 27.26387. It's a 1 km walk and should take about 20 minutes. The buses run almost continuously throughout the day about every 10 to 15 minutes in summer and 15 to 20 minutes in winter so I wasn’t worried at all about getting back although it was a late departure with all aboard at 19:30. We had time to go back to the ship, grab a bite to eat and then go off again for a walk to Pigeon Island. Being very generous if you allowed and hour and a half each way and three hours at Ephesus that’s six hours overall and if you got off by 8 am (always be one of the first off!) you’d be back by 2 pm. As far as I am aware there is no public transport to Mother Mary’s house so you’d have to take a taxi. Hope that helps. Let me know if the link works or doesn’t.
