Best thing about a holiday is trying different foods!

Great travel video thanks

@nantwichsurfer thanks. Can’t wait to share the rest of our Japan videos. We had such a great time. Hotel review next week.

Hi. I love my French earl grey. I normally will get it from Elmstock or Lupica (a Japanese company). www.elmstocktea.com.au www.lupicia.com.au

One's husband always thanks me for packing light! I have to say, the lady at the hotel loved the Tim Tams.

Hi. We had 7kg of carry on allowance. I didn't weight it but I am sure it was less that 7kg even with my laptop in it. Strangely enough, Jetstar didn't weight it when we checked in. Mind you, it was self serve international check in at Brisbane airport. I haven't come across that at Brisbane before.

By the way, forgot to say to have a fabulous trip! November is a great time to go.

Hi. I’ll send my list through to you later today. The app is called Packing List. I use the free version but there is a paid one. Here’s the link apps.apple.com/au/app/packing-list/id1235121075

Just added it to the description. Here is is drive.google.com/file/d/1H5ouRRANenOIA4uMJ1oXwKelw-hKsy5q/view?usp=share_link

Samsonite. Was about AUD$100. It has different compartments to make finding things easier and I like that it has a strap to attach to the handle of my suitcase so I don’t have to carry it.

@@TravelwithTanyaandSimon Thanks!

Funnily enough there were a couple of things I didn’t even end up using 😂 what was the quality of the compression cubes from Temu like?

@@TravelwithTanyaandSimon I found the quality good. However I would suggest buying ones that have a mesh panel. The ones I got for me didn't have one and I can't see what's inside. The ones I got the kids have a mesh panel and were much more practical.

Me too. I have one of those in my handbag. I do like my run Vicks for sore muscles too. It’s probably mind over matter but I feel it helps.

Vicks inhalers are illegal in Japan. I lived there for 3 years.

I thought the inhalers that you spray were illegal but the Vicks sticks are okay as it is just hard Vicks that you sniff rather than spray. Might need to look into that.

They really do help things to be organised and I like things organised 😀

And the beer and the apple pie!

We are sorry you feel that way. We loved your city and thought it was a beautiful place to visit and would return in a heartbeat.

The negative comments aren’t appreciated even to state that, “we weren’t taken by the cartel”. Facts matter.

Glad it was helpful!

Definitely try the hot chocolate when you’re there next. So good!

Thanks so much!

Absolutely. So much atmosphere and the cannoli!

We only do the excursions if we think the country is risky, the port is far away from the city or we have a load of OBC. Exploring on our own is definitely our preferred way. Hope you found the video helpful 😀

It’s a place well worth visiting.

It is a great guesthouse. Next week our video on the weekend in this area comes out.?

Can’t make it too Christmasy

And so much more we didn’t get to.

With all the perks it was actually really well priced.

It’s an old one. Sussans.

Luckily the hotel is staying open. Can’t wait to visit again.

We’d go back there in a heartbeat!

Us too!

We are glad you enjoyed it. We had fun making it.

We thought there would be more than one. It will be interesting when we do our favourite cities.

@TravelwithTanyaandSimon looking forward to it. I feel somewhere in Japan may make the count maybe....

Highly probable

Thank you

Thank you ❤️❤️ we are slowly improving and appreciate the feedback.

There’s always at least one who doesn’t listen or follow instructions. So frustrating.

Thank you for sharing extra info for our viewers and a huge thank you for the job you do helping us tourists ❤️❤️

We are currently in Stanthorpe 😀 won’t be out for a few weeks though

Forgot to say we are off to Japan in a couple of weeks! I'm also pleased to hear that Simon isn't the only potty mouth out there :)

It is. You should definitely visit.

Absolutely and we only experienced a fraction of what’s on offer.

Glad you think so!

Not sure to be honest. There was no info available for it. We were going to walk to Balmain East ferry, even though it’s a bit of a hike. A local told us it was no longer running but when we caught the ferry later on in the day it stopped there 🤷‍♀️ a direct ferry would be so much easier.

@@TravelwithTanyaandSimon Yeah, that's a bit slack of them. You'd think they would at least provide an option, like hiring a mini-bus for passengers to and from the harbour city area. I did a bit of searching. The discontinued ferry service was apparently privately run, and only for cruise ship passengers. The Balmain East wharf is a public transport service, and does a 'milk run' rather than a direct service. Given the relatively light demand around there most of the time, that's understandable. There are two bus routes that run from Balmain East and around Balmain Hospital to the city about every 10 minutes or so, and pass within a couple of hundred metres of the cruise terminal. However, the terminal access road looks like it's security-fenced off from the suburban streets above it, with no easy way of getting up to a bus stop. Sydney's public transport is generally good, but that's not an acceptable standard for a major cruise terminal. I know they're building a metro station nearby, but that's years away. I feel a courteous letter of suggestion to the state transport minister coming on.

@tacitdionysus3220 I read that after your question as well. It’s crazy really. We’ve only ever cruised out of White Bay before this cruise. The public ferry was still $7 each so for the hassle of walking to it I’d still just grab an Uber. I could have been really budget friendly and hit up sharing an Uber with fellow passengers but I thought that might be cheeky.

The ferry as described hasn't run for some time, however there is plans afoot to resume this service, when being the question?

Thank you ❤️ food is definitely a huge part of our travels!

Absolutely. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi. I’m so excited for you! It is such a beautiful port. The traffic was reasonable. The wait for the HOHO bus was longer than the actual drive. It’s less than 10km between the port and old town. I believe it was around the US$10 mark. It was definitely cheaper than the HOGO bus. Looking at Uber atm it says 25K COP which is roughly AUD$10.

Are you also going to Mazatlan? We have a port stop video coming out next week with similar info on what we did.

@@TravelwithTanyaandSimon That port not in our itinerary…. But definitely, I would check ur coming post ✨✨🫶🏻🫶🏻

Absolutely. Enjoyment at your own pace with no mooing.

Such a beautiful place. We just filmed in Maleney and Montville yesterday. It will be out in a couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy it.

It really is a wonderful place to visit. I have been over multiple times on my own and have never had any concerns. So safe, cheap and interesting.

I’m sure there will be many bloopers in the future
