    Ben and David, thank you for sharing your journeys with us in 2021. Living in northern Ontario Canada we have not been able to travel as we once did so it's been great living vicariously through you. I hope you had a great holiday season with family and friends and wish you good health and happy cruising in 2022!

    Glu wein, the drink you have at the end of your day skiing. My mum and dad observed it regularly. Another warming winter drink is lambs wool, it's a spiced ale flavoured with cinnamon and nutmeg topped with a dollop of stewed apple with brown sugar and cinnamon. Both lovely and makes the winter, however pretty, whiz along to spring more quickly

    Hi, Ben and David: Here's a tip for extending the life of a piece of cake or cupcake by a week. If you have purchased a frosted cupcake, or piece of cake, or cake from your local bakery. placing any of the above-mentioned sweet treats on parchment paper. Placing them in a gallon sized plastic storage bag and removing the air will create a seal and placing them in a freezer will extend the life of these sweet treats by a week.

    • @susie9893
      @susie9893 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not so much the cruising that I think you'd struggle with but the excursions. Europe isn't v disability friendly to tour (cos all those old sites with stairs etc) so you'd really have to do your research and probably get a good travel agent who could advocate for you and go over thoroughly what the cruise line could offer you (I imagine you could access at least a few markets - tho you'd have to explore the entire egress - but getting on and off buses etc would need to be planned ahead etc etc).
      Also Emma Cruises did a river cruise video some time back that briefly discussed how wheelchair access on different cruise boats differ as some have elevators, some don't OR they do but not up to the deck etc.
      I know it's a pain (I have multiple food allergies so I'm no stranger to the frustrations of travel research) but I'm sure you're used to research mode when it comes to travel

    @lisathaviu1154 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys have rekindled my interest in cruising! My parents took me to the Black Forest when I was 5. I remember peering out of the car window looking for the gingerbread house. Part of the reason the ceilings were low was also to conserve heat. Very often people kept a few of their animals in the house with them. The low life span was an average, and about 50% of people died before the age of 2, so that pulled down the average age a lot. The truth is, if you lived until 12, you had a pretty good chance to make it to your 50’s or longer. Because of childbirth though, women did tend to live a shorter time, but in England at that time, people did not marry until their late 20’s and the men were closer to 30 - 35. It wasn’t until potatoes were commonly grown that people were able to afford to marry earlier.
