    Arr brilliant vlog😊
    Was the eye mask on the sleeper, so you couldn't see how small the room was, lol 😅. Good job you only had one suitcase in that room . And Pearl is a girl after my own heart ❤️ with the gold holdal love gold, bling , sparkle, and glitter ✨️ 💖. So funny, Brian, when you said it's posh on the boat, how are you going to act .! Normal 😅. Lovely room on the boat spacious. And I love Britannia. Went on there about 10 years ago and had soup lol in the tea room you were in, lol 😆 . Once again, beautiful dress Pearl on the boat for dinner take care both of you 😊❤x

      Hi Amanda , yes I was expecting slightly bigger but it was ok . Something about being in bed on a train.I wanted Pearl on her best behaviour 😂 and she was a good girl 😂. Fingal was a brilliant experience, a great place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Amanda, we are in Corfu , on Azura so I have a signal . Take care and thank you for watching this video.❤️❤️👋

    Ah, the Caledonian Sleeper has been on my bucket list for years - I always think it looks absolutely fantastic. I'll hopefully do it next year!
    Also, I stayed on Fingal last year - only for one night - I was SO SO SO impressed!

      Hi Fraser , it certainly was an experience, we thought let’s do something different rather than flying to Edinburgh. There is something about travelling by train and being in bed . Fingal was amazing an absolute stunning hotel. Take care on your travels 👋

    Good to have you both back! I've missed talking to you. Looks like you all are having a good time. Seeing the sights, and what you are eating is a lot of fun for me. We are having real Fall weather now. Finally had to put the heat on. I'd never be able to squeeze into those bunks, but I'm glad you all got to experience it. Looking forward to the next segment. Glad you are both well. Give my best to Pearl.

      Hi Rene lovely to hear from you it’s been a while I know. Hope you are well , Pearl sends her love . So you’ve had to put the heating on same for us . Although only slightly at the moment it’s been milder than normal but very wet .I bet it looks great where you are in the Fall .Glad you enjoyed the first one , next week will give you a bit more of Edinburgh so hopefully you will enjoy it . Take care , keep warm xx

      Hi Gavin , thank you very much for watching. We had been to Edinburgh a few times, so I thought we have driven , flown , let’s try the train . There is something about being in bed as the train trundles along . But definitely overpriced, would we do it again, not at those prices. Then on our return there was no lounge at the station. So I complained and received £20 refund , big deal. But it was all worth it for the hotel , it was fantastic, expensive but for a one off well worth it. Thanks for watching Gavin 👋👋

      Hi Dawn , Edinburgh really is lovely, we have visited quite a few times now , We always enjoy it . Fingal was great , not somewhere you could do often , but for a special occasion it was perfect. Plus you have that wonderful tram system that stops right near the hotel . We will definitely be back in beautiful Edinburgh. Thanks very much for watching and for commenting xx❤️

      Hi Amika , yes I agree entirely Pearl is definitely the star , she’s very natural. I used a DJI pocket 2 camera . It’s very small and inconspicuous so ideal for when you’re trying to film in a crowded place . Hope this helps , thank you very much for watching this and previous vlogs .x

      Hi Raymond, We really like Princess cruises we have done 5 now . Sky is a lovely ship … better food and service than P&O but then you are paying more . Atrium can get busy especially when they have artist or bands playing. It’s across between traditional cruising and modern. We are on Sun princess in 2025 , have a great time and thank you very much for watching and the kind comment.👋
