    The one thing that really stands out with your channel is the respectful attitude presented in each country. Some other vloggers like to sensationalise their story by degrading the country "as guests." It's a pleasure to follow your journey, guys.

      Thank you! We try to go to each new country and respect their culture and people as we are the visitors. We also try not to sugarcoat things to mislead those that may want to visit, but also not be negative. Thanks for watching. Cheers!!

    Nothing beats a beer on a hot day! But, I'd be happy with a nice glass of wine with an authentic Italian meal, too. I just LOVE all those outdoor cafes in Cefalu. I don't recall ever visiting here, but I know I would like it with all the handcraft shops, being a handcraft artisan myself! It really looks like a quaint little place. Cheers to another fabulous video!

    We hiked to the top of Cefalu Rock in september 2019 and it wasn't too bad. One of us was even wearing flip-flops. The views from the top were beautiful and we were lucky enough to see mountain goats.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's so cool ☺. Had the temps been a bit lower that day, we would have made our way to the top. We saw some pictures from the top, and it looked beautiful. Cheers 🍻

    Hey. Another informative video. I am more than a little surprised that you left Palermo so late for this day trip. You are both usually up and at it. Looks great. I would likely pack that bathing suit and towel on a 95 degree day. Amazing the small quaint places you get to see when off the beaten path. In September such a crowded train. Wow. Safe travels and cheers.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We definitely should have left a few hours earlier than we did. We honestly should have stayed the night so we could have jumped in the water and had a place to clean up for an evening dinner. It is a great little place that we would recommend staying at. Thanks, Robert! 🍻

    Hey guys! Thanks for the tips:) We are in Palermo for the next few days and then head to Cefalu for the Month of November! FYI an AirBnb (booked months ago)with an amazing private rooftop and view was $1500 Cdn. We will be heading back to Palermo for a day trip and a cooking class. We're travelling through Italy for early December then to our housesit in London for Christmas:) Looking forward to watching more!

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You will be happy that you booked a place in Cefalu rather than Palermo, we wish we had done the same thing. It sounds like you got a great deal. We are looking into the house sit experience as well and it seems like the UK has many. It may be the only way we can see London with the cost of living being so high! Thank you for watching!!
