    Gday Johno,
    It was very kind of you and your family to let us share your trip mate. When the kids are older they will remember Dad’s U Tube movies from Tassie. Thanks to you and travel safe mate.

    He gets 10/10 for correctly calling it a ship and not a boat, but loses a point for trying to convince us it was a rough crossing😏😆 If the waves aren't breaking over the bow it's a calm sea. The rest of your video was very enjoyable.

    The boat I travelled over and back on was a bigger an over night trip and I got talking to officer from the ship he said it rocks a bit but only worry when we lay the ropes out down the aisles to hang on to as you walk around. Great trip everyone should do it.

    Hey Johnno, I recently discovered your channel and I'm hooked. We've stayed in the same cottage in Tassie. We came in winter and it was snowing. The forest floor at the back was covered in a layer of snow and it looked magical. It was bloody cold though! Glad you and your family are having a great time there. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Thank you very much for sharing!
    It's been more than 30 years that I have been there, just for three days in a three weeks "all of Australia" trip.
    Touching for me: Your way of travelling.
    My family endet 2019, we have always travelled a lot, it has been the best ten years of my life.
    Last autumn, a week exploring parts of the UK we've never been to with my daughter (18 than, so with me on the passenger seat often) brought back memories.
    Anyways, before I become sentimental: Keep it up, save trips!
    And good holidays often start with a ferry! ;)

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  Год назад

      Thanks Marc. Yes holidays are the best and I was really looking forward to the ship. They have 2 new and bigger ships on order. The first will arrive around September they say. I've never been to the UK so I can't say much about that one.
