    Thanks for sharing adventures aboard AZURA and also the port of Bari. Is 20% off on account of your Cruise Grade.

      Hi Tim , you’re very welcome, thank you for watching. We had a wonderful time on Azura, the ship is now a bit tired but that didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Yes that’s correct about the 20 %. It’s worth being part of any scheme if it saves you money.👋

    Hi Pearl & Brian, we are well behind this week for one reason or another 🙄
    This vlog was hilarious, especially when you said about the excess baggage for your eyes! I wasn’t expecting that! 😂
    The singer Peter Howarth sounded absolutely amazing, we would definitely go and see him if we ever came across him, he really hasn’t lost his voice and we do like a bit of Roy Orbison.
    Pearl made me howl when she said sit out on the “balcs”, that I cannot wait to say when we board!! 😂😂
    Take care onto last nights vlog now 👏🏼 xxx

      Hi Al , hope you are well and have a bit of sunshine where you are . I think late nights, early mornings and Pearl plying me with too much alcohol was the reason for the bags 🤪. Peter Howarth was brilliant, very relaxed and made it look effortless, plus a great voice . I don’t know where Pearl gets her terminology from, sounds a bit Towie to me 😂 . You will definitely sleep well tonight Al 😴 . Thanks again Al ,it’s always great to hear from you hope you have a great week.XX❤️

No Amanda you are correct, never a dull moment 😂. That’s another thing Pearl will never get used to , people saying such lovely things about how she looks. She really is pleasantly surprised.

    clootie dumpling is a scottish pudding very like a suet pudding, but mainly cooked for halloween. Married to a scotsman, he makes the most amazing clootie dumpling. Hope you enjoyed it x

      Hi Mike , what a great message to receive thank you very much . As we’ve said before we try to be ourselves , and what you see is how we are with each other. We enjoyed Alberobello it was a great place to visit, but the guide did go on a bit 😂 . Next episode is out and about in Split Croatia. Thanks again Mike for such a wonderful comment and of course for watching.👋👋🥂

      Good morning Sara , No me either it wasn’t quite what I was expecting . That will teach me to read the menu properly.
      Peter Howarth was brilliant, he joined the Hollies 20 years ago , so not an original. But what a great voice and a great entertainer. Hope you didn’t cry too much 😂 . Thanks Sara XX❤️

    Another excellent episode, the place you visited looked lovely, seen it in lots of photos and would like to go. Sorry Brian you didn’t get your ice cream, we encountered the ticket system in Milan, we were in a massive queue forever and suddenly spotted people were holding tickets, we thought they were on an excursion and had a free ice cream voucher or something but no, you had to queue to get a ticket and then queue to get the ice cream 🍦They need to put a sign up for tourists not familiar with the system 🥺 We have heard of the Clootie Pudding, it’s a Scotch treat, My Grandfather was Scottish and we lived in Newcastle which was not far from the border so we were frequent visitors.

      Hi Julie , thank you , Alberobello was very nice , not a place we knew much about to be fair. Could have done with another hour so we would have more free time . Crazy idea with the ice cream, they must do themselves out of a lot of trade .Thanks for the Clootie explanation, I was actually born in Scotland so you would have thought I would have heard of it 😩, it was nice though. Hope you are both well , and many thanks for watching and following us on our adventures.XX❤️❤️👋👋

      Hi Louise, thank you , the excursion was great but we would have preferred a bit more free time . Peter Howarth was brilliant, not normally my sort of music but I really enjoyed it .Have to have one or two for the road , the planet bar is a really nice bar . I agree Pearl looked great in her dress 😍. Thank you Louise for watching and the great comment. Xx

We have never been on MSC , but that is one of the things we have heard , lots of announcements in every language imaginable, and lots of embarking and disembarking 😂. Hope that knee improves, have a great week Percy , thanks for watching. 👋👋🥂

      Thanks Gaynor , really sorry to hear you have had Covid, there seems to be a lot of it around at the moment. We are on Ventura in a few days with the Grandkids, only Amsterdam for 4 nights. Peter Howarth was brilliant, so professional and very relaxed, really enjoyed his performance. Hope you are both feeling a bit better, and thank you so much for watching especially when you’re not feeling great . XX❤️👋👋

    Another fantastic Sunday watch in Essex, that guide did she sshhh people ? Looked like she did, proper rude.
    The male singer sounded awesome, good enough to still be touring.
    The trip looked good but hectic, im dreading the trip in September to Pisa & Florence, 10 hours in total and you just know its going to be manic.
    The story with the guide and the bus driver was hilarious.
    Another great watch cheers.

      Peter Howarth was brilliant, such a great voice and you could tell he was very experienced .
      We did enjoy Alberobello, but could have done with more free time .
      You are in for a busy time then Pisa & Florence. We have done both before and you’re right it will be busy . But Florence was beautiful we really enjoyed it .
      Only Pearl could make that much drama about a headset 😂. Cheers Marc thanks for watching 🍺🥂👋👋

    That was a little different. My daughter-in-law's family comes from Italy and they were there a year ago to visit family. I liked that last entertainer you saw. He has a good voice, and sung some good songs. This week we are getting some spring weather. Next week summer is supposed thit hard. Hope all is well there, we are fine here.

      Good Morning Rene , Italy certainly is a beautiful country. Alberobello was great but we would have preferred some more free time to look around .We thought you might like Peter Howarth, he is the singer in a British sixties band called the Hollies. Lots of people have commented on his performance. Oh dear sounds like the A/C is going on again next week. Our weather is quite cool actually 18 centigrade, it’s supposed to be summer 😩. Thanks for watching Rene glad you are all well , take care .XX ❤️👋

    Hi Guys! your filming is definitely getting better Brian! some of the shots in Alberobella where really good! How did you find Azura as a slightly older ship? As always love following you guys!! Great fun!! Oh also had the best bread and butter pudding in Sindhu on Iona! One of the best things I've ever eaten! 🙂

    • @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619
      @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Senseicads , thank you . We had a lot of fun on Azure but you can’t hide from the fact that it is looking a bit tired in places. Some of the furniture in our room looked like it had seen better days . And parts of the buffet looked like it could do with a makeover. Saying that it didn’t detract from us having a good time . I think it goes in for a refit this year . We originally chose the ship because of the itinerary. I know all about the bread and butter pudding it’s one of the best . Thanks a lot Senseicads nice to hear from you .👋👋

Good to hear we give you a giggle, it’s all about having fun that’s what we think . Pearly Queen Pearl , she will love that ❤️ . Yes we still have a few cruises on the horizon, next is back on Arvia in September. Great to hear from you Maureen many thanks for watching. XX❤️👋👋

    Hi Pearl and Brian, great vlog as always. We've always found in Italy that the excursions involve lots of coach travel with a short amount of time at the final destination. Shame because Alberobello is a place we'd love to go to (especially Paula), we'll make it there one day (with a long coach trip 😀). Paula said to tell Pearl that she's not the only one to not get on with those headphones, not turning the volume up is soooo Paula. 😄 Looking forward to part 3, all the best, Chris and Paula.

      Hi Chris & Paula hope you are both doing ok . I know what you mean about the journey times in Italy . We went to Florence on one cruise, it seemed like it took a couple of days to get there . To be honest I had never heard of Alberobello before we went on this cruise, apart from what I watched on the TV . Could have done with a bit more Free time . Of course Pearl would make a fuss with the headphones 😂 it goes without saying , Paula as well must be a female thing .🤣. Great to hear from you , thanks as always for watching. Have a great week.Xx👋👋🥂🍺

I think they do still live in them , as she was saying that some Brits had bought some for holiday homes . Have a great week Glenda, thank you for watching and contributing with your comments Xx❤️👋👋
