Very interesting to see this video.Many will recall the terrible Falklands war.Looks like a nice place to visit and very serene.That Totem pole is brilliant.!.Cheers from Cairns Australia.
Hi guys! New viewer here. 👋That's so crazy they had so many land mines there. We never knew that. Looked so magical and secluded! Excited to see more adventures!
Hi Matt and Rachel! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video.😊 Such a beautiful place to visit!😍 Stay tuned...we have some Scottish adventures coming up!😁
Loved the vid, which really showed The Falklands at its very best. It certainly brought back some wonderful memories of the fantastic two days we spent there en route to South Georgia back in 2019 (first in West Falkland and the second day in Stanley and it's surroundings). It's the most amazing place and I will never forget it. Thanks. Peter
You're welcome! That's amazing, you must really love it there!❤ It must be nice to see how the islands have progressed since the war too. Thanks for watching!😊
Thanks for this relaxed and informative video. Now, i must go and see the falkland island because of you…. looks like very peaceful place to visit. all heads on deck…
Thanks very much! They certainly are beautiful and unforgettable islands & we were very fortunate to have such great weather - the previous day had been a big storm & we wouldn't have been able make port there. Would've loved to visit West Falkland too - maybe next time!😉
The propellor was off the ship Atlantic Conveyor which sunk during the war with the loss of life and lots of equipment. I’m showing my age as I vividly remember all the reports coming back to uk in 1982.
Ah thanks for the additional info! After I said "It looks like a plane propellor" Phil said: "No, Sharon, it's a ship's propellor!"🤦🏻♀️ but we didn't know which ship it came from!
That same ship was constantly docked at North Canada Dock, Bootlle, Merseyside.. I used to look out of my bedroom at it and one day it was gone.. That was around 1982.. Obviously on it's way down south.. I was 12
Nice walking tour but we don't see almost nothing from Stanley the capital city is very unique is so British cool character... GOD bless you all from R.Macedonia europe
Thanks for watching! Yes, we only had a few hours onshore unfortunately and we knew Stanley would be extremely busy with 3 cruise ships in port that day. Since we prefer peace and nature we opted to get out of the city. Hopefully if we ever get a chance to return to the Falklands we can spend longer!
Was down there in 82 on RFA OLNA in San Carlos water. Known as bomb ally. Also on RFA TIDESPRING two or three years later. I refereed a football match between merchant seamen and RAF. Sunny day then rain then big hail. Half time was early Came out 2 inches of snow called off. Also got conned flew out to Porto Rico joined Cunard Countess going guess where. Running troops from a really cold place up to Accension. Sorry rant.
@@thelifeofreillytravels If the wind comes from the south. I live in Scotland three layers jumper. No problem down there you need three inches of steel.
The lady Elizabeth IS a shipwreck as it was tied along side the port when its rope snapped during a heavy storm and it drifted into the shore in the night and got stuck on the sandbar and efforts to recover it didnt work.
Sorry for delayed replies - we've been travelling a lot the past week & haven't had a minute to catch up on messages! Thanks so much again for watching and enjoy your cruise in January!😊
I was in the Falklands in 92. You’re correct. It does look like Scotland Shetland isles. On the other hand some people said it looked like Cornwall on England’s western coast.
Ah nice! Yes, it does have the same low, flat, treeless landscape as the Shetland Islands, with beautiful coastlines.😍 We've actually never been to Cornwall! Will have to make a trip there sometime.😊 Thanks for watching.

Sorry that you were offended by our video, all we are doing is highlighting the peacefulness & beauty of these islands, no matter what name you know them by.❤️
@@thelifeofreillytravels I fought in that war. Its not a petty issue. But glad the Islands are appreciated and now known to the outside world for its rugged beauty.
@T5Zplayer sorry for your suffering and your losses, obviously you're still hurting many years later. War is a terrible thing that those of us who have never experienced it firsthand cannot fully understand. But you're right, it's a good thing that the islands can be appreciated for the peacefulness that now characterises them.

The entire Falklands Islands were actually declared mine free by the British Government in November 2020. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Thanks for watching! Hope you do get to visit the Falklands sometime... such a beautiful place! Try to stay longer than one day, if you can!😁

It’s a replica propellor. The real one is still attached to the Atlantic Conveyor.

I lived and worked there for a lot of years, I love any info about my home and friends xx

Aye, we're from Scotland too so we're used to 3 layers!!🥶

Thanks for the clarification, appreciate your comment 👍🏼
@@thelifeofreillytravels no worries
How long did you stay on Falkland Islands?
Our cruise ship was only docked there 1 day. Would've been nice to spend longer. 😊
What month did you travel?
Sorry for delayed replies - we've been travelling a lot the past week & haven't had a minute to catch up on messages! Thanks so much again for watching and enjoy your cruise in January!😊
I think the little birds were Turnstones but difficult to tell

Such a cool and unique place to visit, wow!
Hi Vernon and Maryana, it was an awesome experience to visit these beautiful islands.😍 Thanks for watching our video!😊
Any mosquitoes or cockroaches?
Not that we saw or felt! Think it'd be too windy for mosquitoes and too cold for cockroaches! 😂
I do know Argentine's so amazing than malaysia
We've not been to Malaysia yet but we'd love to visit!😍
My mates fought and died to make sure the malvinas insult would be erased so repeating the insult does you no credit.

Great video but absolutely awful choice of backing track
Thanks for watching. Sorry you didn't like our music choice - I guess you can't please everyone when it comes to musical tastes!😂
How the rich Spend their money eh?
Exceedingly boring...
Thanks for your feedback.
I rather migrate to Argentina than any other country
It's certainly a very beautiful country! 😍
Argentina is full of big gay sexy homosexual men
You will be welcome 🇦🇷
