    Great video! I think you missed it but there's a fold out table under the sink if you ever travel on the caledonian again, so you can have a proper sit down meal and drink in your room 😂 looks like you had a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to traveling on the caledonian with my dog later this year

    I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad that I did! I LOVED what you were saying about enjoying traveling with your partner, but that he simply doesn't appreciate some of it the same way you do. My partner is the exact same, and sometimes I feel sad that we don't do more travel together. This was such a great reminder that I can totally book things in for myself and enjoy the solo adventure!

    That is soooooooo coooooool. Yes I would travel up to Aberdeen just for that sleeper. Worth it for the bathroom alone. I love how you don't edit out the figuring out how things work. It's what I would do. Love the toiletries bag.

    I loved what you said about traveling solo! I have weird anxiety about doing stuff alone (especially getting out of my safety zone by traveling) so I'm really working towards getting to the point where I can just, like, do all of this leisure traveling alone and actually enjoy the journey rather than feeling anxious. You make it look SO fun and liberating!

    This is totally something I would do and I actually have done something similar. In 2016, I traveled with a friend from Bath to Paddington on GWR on a Sunday afternoon. I then spent the evening in the lounge and boarded the Night Riviera to Penzance, overshooting my final destination of Fowey (that isn’t on the rail line). I did all this on purpose so I could experience the Night Riviera, have a nice morning walk along the coast in Penzance, then train to St. Austell to hire a car for 4 days in Cornwall with a home base in Fowey. People thought my itinerary was crazy, but I totally loved it.

    • @chloeandludvig

      @hatchsp Год назад

      @@chloeandludvig I loved the Night Riviera. Very comfortable and pleasant experience. The only issue was that I traveled in November and there was an issue of wet leaves on the rails. That delayed us somewhat between Exeter and Penzance.
