Tropea Italy Snapshot. We stay at II Poggio di Tropea
We travelled to Tropea Italy. Our plan was to backpack thru Europe by train.
We took a train at Lamezia and travelled to Parghelia to our accommodation at II Poggo di Tropea. Our room had a magnificent via of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean. We explored the cobble stone streets of Tropea, and climbed the steps to the Monastery. The view from the Monastery included Tropea's famous beaches, with crystal clear and sapphire blue waters. Back at II Poggo di Tropea we climbed down the cliff and swam in the beautiful water - of which we found to be much denser to that of Australasia. We celebrated Christine's birthday at a restaurant in a back lane in Tropea. We had wonderful 'Memories of Tropea' where we enjoyed the rustic scenery of Tropea, and had much fun during a walk around the town at night.

We stay in Tangalooma Resort, Moreton Island, and take our 4WD via the Micat ferry
Переглядів 1,4 тис.8 місяців тому
We take our landcruiser 4WD to Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia; via the Micat ferry that departs from the Port of Brisbane. We lowered the tyre pressure, and engaged 4WD so we could drive on the beach sand without getting bogged. Our original plan was to go camping, but a trough of low pressure created a rain event. We were able to arrange a room in the Tangalooma resort which was fantast...

We visit Fraser Island (K'gari) by taking the SeaLink K'gari Fraser Island Ferry from River Heads. We decided to go via Hervey Bay instead of Inskip Point. The night before we camped at Fraser Coast RV Park. We found the facilities to be very impressive and quirky. Unfortunately we did not have an effective solution to the numerous midge bites that occurred during our stay. We tried Good Riddan...

We stayed in Fish Creek

We visited the town of Fish Creek, which is just over two hours drive away from Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. This Gippsland township features a large fish sculpture made from road signs. The fish sculpture gently moves in the wind, and was constructed by a local artist from 'ride the wild goat' -together with a welder. We enjoyed a coffee at Little Oberon cafe, and brought beautiful produc...

Don't tell the government it is a ridiculous price. They will increase it. There might be exemptions if primary residence, size etc, affected by war. That would be an interesting video.
I remember the Hotel when it was called The Promontory Hotel In the 1960s. It was a stop many used on the way to Wilsons Prom after the Meeniyan turn off the South Gippy Hwy. 👀
That’s very interesting, thanks for the history 😀
Lock your car and try not to get robbed. Mornington next to Frankston
He was nowhere near "about to roll". 🤦
WoW✨👍.
Thank you! Cheers!
Is that beach somewhere in OZ?
Yes, it's Cape Patterson in Victoria. All the best.
Hi
That really looks like a stunning location. What an amazing view over the wster😮
Glad you enjoyed the view. All the best, Christine and Tim
Apologies for wster, was obviously meant to be water. Look forward to more videos from you guys 😄
Great video! How tall are you guys?
Thank you 🙏 Tim is just under 6ft and can sleep fully outstretched without reaching the end. With two people in the tent there is ample space for a comfortable nights sleep. All the best😀
I'm going to Quay station for excursion
Hope you enjoy 😊
Great Video Christine & Tim. How was the parking at the resort? Thinking of towing the jet ski over just worried if there was enough room and suitable parking for a trailer. Thank You.
Yes there is a decent car park at the Northern end. Believe we saw someone also park a trailer there. Hope you enjoy the trip All the best Christine and Tim
u are so underated. thanks im going there in 4 days
Thank you - hope you enjoy 😀
Hi Christine and Tim, thanks for this awesome video! I’ll be staying at this hotel soon and I’m very looking forward to it after watching your video. Well done 👍 😊
Hope you enjoy your stay😀 Best wishes Christine and Tim
That's my favorite animal
hi, its deb from tasmania australia :) totally loved this video :) ive just subscribed to your channel, nice to be onboard :)
Welcome aboard Deb, glad to you here. We love Tassie❤️Thank you - Christine and Tim
hello Tim & Christine, i enjoyed this review thank you. Im looking at buying this exact tent and was hoping to find positive news, i think i will go and purchase this tent now, btw you have a new subscriber 😃
Hi C Tiling, We're glad you found the video helpful. Hope you enjoy the tent purchase, we use ours regularly and love it. All the best, Christine and Tim.
Excellent! Tim! Well done. Where are the Buchanan brothers / Leyland Brothers I remember from Mum's super 8 films?
I agree. Driving on the beach should be banned, not because it is unsafe for pedestrians but also because a lot of biota lives below that sand and gets killed. There should be a limit on the number of people who visit the Island, especially self driving. No overseas tourists in hire cars should be allowed. They can instead enjoy a tour.
Thanks for contributing to the discussion. Christine and Tim
If you get stuck behind people. Get out and go and the car that is bogged. It’s 4WD etiquette
Not going to lie, you had me in stitches when saying going to the toilet :)
Thanks Bradley, glad you enjoyed. Cheers, Christine and Tim
Enjoyed the style, great review
Thanks Matt, Cheers
Love love this!
I’m thoroughly enjoying this video. Love the style and the pace. The breaking news touch was right on point. Nice editing! And I’m getting to know a new place! Was this done with LumaFusion? Finally, did you need the vomit bag?
@@christinetim As long as the vomit bag was avoided, editing comes second 😀. I really enjoyed your story telling style.
Awesome video guys i like how you captured the historical feeling of the place, your video makes me want to do a weekend away adventure at the q station 😎👍
