    The thing that is always a reminder while traveling Europe, is how young our country is. Nothing like seeing a 12th century castle or church to put some perspective on our own history.

    Wonderfully put together, Tony. You covered in 17 minutes so much, and very well documented. Thank you. We love Europe and what it has to offer. So much history, diversification, iconic and world famous places you sometimes only read about, and to actually be there to see for yourself is so special. Thanks for the video. We hope to have one last visit to Europe next May to take in a cruise around the British Isles and to take a river cruise down the Rhine from Basel to Amsterdam, subject to our health staying good, of course. Great video, though, Tony. I understand through Don's vlog today, that you want to go back to Europe and have some time together on a cruise there. Do it....those memories can't be replaced.

      And visit the Anne Frank Museum. Probably one of the most moving sites I have ever visited other than the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. I believe that the Anne Frank house is something everyone should see. And never forget.

Also, I know you are not a farmer so you are forgiven, but my nephew owns a couple Scottish Highland cattle. So yes, we do have them here in the states. You just have to look closely.

    You surprised me with your reference to Geoffrey Chaucer while not doing a "mash up" with A Knights Tale.
    I hope your trip to Tivoli Gardens included a stop at the food hall. There is a pizza place that makes the most incredible pizza, that has no more than the equivalent of a Vienna sausage amount of meat, goat sausage, that blew me away. Imagine my shocking surprise, as a meat lovers pizza kind of guy, how much I COULD NOT get enough of it.

    Hi Tony, I was fortunate enough to have gotten to travel to London when I was in college in the late 1980’s. It was a trip through the University of TN at Martin which I attended. There were other universities on this trip as well. It was a 10 day trip that included some excursions outside of the city to Stratford upon Avon to Shakespeare’s birthplace, to Stonehenge, and Bath. I saw amazing history in these places and would love to return. I enjoyed watching the highlights of your trip very much. It reminded me of my trip oh so many years ago and of the amazing history that many of us descended from. I would like to add that I live in a small rural town in Tennessee probably only 30 miles from the safari park you visited just last week. You are definitely my favorite cruise vlogger that I started following once my husband and I decided to begin cruising again after the shut down. We have been cruising once a year since 2011 except for 2021 and 2022. Keep up the good work as we enjoy ALL of your videos.

I’d love to go to Copenhagen and spend a few days there.. So, So much history there!!! Would love to go in to the cubed houses in Rotterdam and the food Market that looks an amazing structure and I love all things Norwegian, cruised the fjords there twice so far.

    Hey, Tony! You’re our favorite cruise reviewer. We think we have you beat on intense upcoming cruise (see below). Before I ask my question, let me answer one of YOURS…We totally like you better as a spaz. I relate because my mum and I ca-ruuuse a lot and you’re the same age as me, so I appreciate your opinions even more. We’ve got 2 back to back cruises coming up on the same ship: The Island Princess, leaving in about a month. We’ve watched many of your reviews, and while you’ve touched a few places, (Denmark, Sweden, Scotland) we haven’t seen much about where we are going; primarily the Baltic countries. I should also say, RC is definitely my favorite cruise line. For this trip, however, we’re on Princess, which has always seemed to me like others feel about HA… old people. I also hate sea days, especially when there’s just old-people stuff to do. Probably why I enjoy RC, I’m your age. Anyway, these are the ports of our itinerary we haven’t been before. if you’ve done these cruises or been to these places, please share your thoughts!
    14-Day Scandinavia & Baltic Collection : Bornholm, Denmark; Visby, Sweden; Tallinn, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; Klaipeda, Lithuania (We’re actually going from Riga to Vilnius over night, then catching up in Klaipeda); Gdańsk, Poland.
    14-Day Icelandic & Norwegian Fjords - Haugesund, Norway; Alesund, Norway; Seydisfjordur, Iceland; Akureyri, Iceland; Grundarfjordur, Iceland; Reykjavik, Iceland.

    Fab video as ever Tony, so glad you enjoyed your brief visit here to Inverness - feels odd seeing the High Street on the video of a major cruise blogger! Did you know - the world premiere of the Ted Danson film Loch Ness was actually held here in Inverness in the now long gone La Scala cinema (near the bus station). We get so many cruise liners up here docking in Invergordon - well over 100 this year alone! Haste ye back as they say in the tourist areas!
