@wendym-mu5dw hello I'm glad to hear it. Do you listen to any Gaelic music, did you hear any when you were in Skye? I was at a concert tonight and it was amazing, Scottish traditional music. Ix
@IonaMacinnes How nice! I bet that was amazing. I didn't see any live music on Skye, but I heard a few Gaelic songs that I enjoyed, so I did buy a CD in Portree. I mostly listen to It when I'm driving. 😊
@@wendym-mu5dw amazing, they are excellent. It was Garry Innes and Ewan Henderson playing last night. You can look them up, very talented musicians. Ix
Nice video- brought back good memories of my trip on the Discovery last August. I've previously sailed on one of the big MSC ships (Virtuosa) and found it to be more comfortable on the Marella,
@70PaulK Hello Paul, nice of you to message, glad you liked it and the memories. Ah now that's interesting, seeing that big MSC one parked up beside us made me wonder this exactly. Do you know which MSC ship that was, I don't think I could see its name but I know there are a few of them. Ix
@margaretkavanagh978 Hello Margaret. Where are you from? Oh lucky you going in January, that'll be amazing who are you going with? Ill go another one next year but for now its CalMac all the way haha. Hope you like some of the Scottish islands videos too. Thanks for your lovely message, I love getting message from people who are watching. I've been to Gran Canaria and Tenerife years ago and going again on a cruise would be cool. Ix
@ericthearfaviking7579 wow good on you camping in November, where were you? I thought I was bonkers camping end of August. Yeah lovely, just sorting our next galavant; Skye in December. I usually go on my own but Mum's coming with me again, good craic in the middle of winter in Skye haha. Oh I'll be taking you all along with us so you won't miss a thing. Ix
@IonaMacinnes I'm looking at doing Skye Trail, sadly will be in midge season. I camped at Moel Famau Wales, hopefully closer to home this weekend The Cheviots. Looking forward to your last cruise video x
@garylovattlovatt193 thanks Gary, was a great day, and glad to have you along with us. Santorini next, I wonder if they have left the best for last. See you next week in Thira😉☀️ Ix
Great informative video of Kusadasi Iona, I loved the castle with the wee bird houses lol. That is some size of ship that you admired, you wonder why they don't topple over. I won't be going to smelly Kusadasi anytime soon lol, only kidding. Thanks again for sharing a super stunning video. x
@daviemcf haha thats so funny, thats the fort thing I think of too, how on earth do they stay upright, thank goodness someone knows! It was lovely just roaming about and the Turkish are so lovely and kind, they love to chat as much as we do! Ix
@brucemcintosh7466 hello, thanks Bruce. One more day left and thats Santorini. Then back to Oban, Mull and Iona and Grimsay in then Skye, gosh lots to come. We went straight to Oban after the cruise but Skye adventure hasn't happened yet, looking forward to it! Two more cruise ones then thats it, ha you'll be getting peed off watching me on another Greek island😂😂 Ix
So funny!! I just booked two weeks in Mexico in December. Winter is getting very cold and wet ( like Scotland) so time for an escape to the sun! Have a terrific weekend Iona. I'll be waiting for your next video 😘
@brucemcintosh7466 oh amazing!! You're going to Mexico and I'm going to Skye😂😂 what a laugh. I'd love to go to Mexico, have you been before? Imaging the food, wow it's going to be amazing. Good on you! Ix
@ArtUpex-mk1pk 'morning, from a not so sunny Outer Hebrides. Ooh aye, that's the fairest way isn't it. Say what you see...or smell ha. Are you going on a cruise?
@ArtUpex-mk1pk ohhh fab! I've not even heard of them. You might be going round the Greek islands like us! This was my first one and loved it so would love to do more bt not booked yet. I'm on ferries all the time cruising about the Scottish Islands ha, we went to Mull & Iona after this cruise which was really lovely, Where are you from? Ix
I love every Vlog so far and I'm guessing with Santorini next day you girls need a good nights sleep to recharge your bodies batteries ready for the next excursion... Sleep Well......
Oh lovely I am so enjoying this cruise! 😂 I always think it's such a shame that the trend to go to Greece was replaced by Turkey. For me Greece is paradise, or at least the islands are. I can't wait for Santorini, I passed it many times on a ferry but never got off, partly because of the donkeys they use to transport tourists up & down the hill, I felt so sorry for them. I would love to go on a cruise around just the Greek islands. Wow that cheese looked awesome, I'd have forced it down 😆
@vivellasmum oh thats lovely, thank you! Greece is beautiful, I know what a difference, but we can't compare Greece to Turkey, especially not the ports we were at. The donkey situation is terrible and absolutely no need for it. I didn't go anywhere near them and there will be no donkeys in my videos. Have a look at cruises, if you book years in advance you get good deals, I can't do that but if I could... Oh no way the cheese, there was no shortage of food thats for sure and all very good, no complaints. Ix
Well, this sure added some warmth to a chilly day. 😊 Thanks, Iona!

Capercaillie 'the blood is strong' is the name of the album.

@@IonaMacinnes Thanks! I'll be sure to check them out. 😊
Thanks Iona, another entertaining vlog
@alanlister8810 my pleasure, glad you enjoyed a wee peek. Santorini up next, the last of the ports. Back to Scotland for us after that. Ix
Another great video Iona, good to see views of the Discovery. We're joining the ship tomorrow for the Ancient treasures cruise.
@gordonwatson5676 hello Gordon, well I'm so jealous of you, how fab. Come back and let me know which port was the highlight please. Ix
@@IonaMacinnes will do
