Definitely do it! And the sooner the better - there's talk that the Navy is going to reopen the base. It's definitely at its most fascinating right now, with so much of the island free to explore.

It is definitely an excellent museum - so fascinating! I was happy to explore it during my time in Nuuk. Really great experience.

You should!

Please send a stamped self-addressed return envelope with $5 CAD handling fee and I will happily mail the 50 rupees back! 😂 I'll even take your word for it!

It would be very difficult to rely on local buses, especially for off-the-beaten-path hiking and exploring. Buses travel between Praia & Angra, but schedules aren't exactly tourist-friendly. I'd say your best bet is to budget for taxis as needed, hitchhike (Terceira is very safe!) or rent a bike (or a combination of all of the above). Joining a guided tour would also be an option. To be honest, you may be better off just negotiating a hired taxi for a day or a half day - I'd estimate the cost to be approx. 50 Euros for every 3 hours - a pretty good deal if you consider you have the driver as well!

With the amount of wind that the island experiences given its location in the north Pacific, it's not likely that any tree ever naturally took up roots. But, I could be mistaken!

@@DrifterDave true, but there is at least one there. I mean, there may have been shorter species there, or at least maybe some groves on the leeward sides of the hills, you know? Or maybe they got wiped off the map by glaciers, literally.

Che is long-dead so I'm sure no one sees him as a threat. But, the West definitely sees communist ideology as a negative force in the world. You're allowed to disagree, though!

I had exactly one day between flights to explore Copenhagen. In 7 hours, you'd be able to see quite a bit. I'd center your attention around the Royal Palace area and dip over to Nyhavn to see the colours. I'd say you could spend about 4 hours in Copenhagen, plus transport time and giving yourself a buffer for airport check-in/security.

@@DrifterDave thanks !

Tomato, Tomato 🇮🇹

Pretty well everywhere in Canada is facing a cost of living crisis. I'd encourage you to visit sites like Rentfaster.ca to assess the average rent, etc. I'd estimate about $100-150 per person per week for food.

No problem!

Amazing!

Wow, that sounds incredible. Will have to try it when I'm back in that area! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words 😎

@@DrifterDave lol, I’m booked to take the train to Prince Rupert during the fall colours. Now trying to find affordable Accommidation…. Love a challenge!

I try my best to be as positive as possible - sometimes it can be difficult! Djibouti definitely was a stretch 😂

There are definitely some older parts, but plenty of beautiful spots as well. You've gotta wonder just how much Prince Rupert would boom if Trudeau allowed the pipeline to be built. That would be a massive boon to their economy.

I'd love to visit the Kronborg at some point! Despite being a bit gloomy and overcast, I definitely enjoyed my visit to Helsingborg!

Amazing, thank you for sharing your first-hand experiences. Such an amazing piece of history, and it was really amazing to explore a place that was once so far off limits that it just amounted to a surreal experience for me. Definitely appreciate the expert insight, and taking the time to explain what I was looking at. Thank you for your service!

I will definitely check out the Melia next time - though, I had a few fellow travellers share with me that they were also hugely impacted by the shortages in Cuba. Some of the folks on my tour reported that the Melia ran out of beer, that the buffet was scarce, and that it was a disappointment. I hope that it improves (and that it improves for all resorts). I would definitely visit the Playa Cayo Santa Maria again as it wasn't a terrible experience, but as you said, by no means "4.5 stars". Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice as well!

Can you share an article about what you're referring to? I haven't heard about any of this.

@@DrifterDave this is partial but the fact is if you are resident they want to impose a residense proof if you leave the Iland . A Premiere in canada to go outside of your home town.

I hope things get better for Guinea's Christians!

Thank you! The video was filmed in July 2020 👍

Never been!

They're close, but quite different!

I used Disko Bay Explorer for the sightseeing cruise around Disko Bay. They are pricey, but have a decent level of service. It was roughly $100 USD for the 90 minute trip.

Yes! It is an Overseas Department of France. You can reach it direct from Paris on Air Saint-Pierre. airsaintpierre.com/en/

@@DrifterDave iits not canada there ??

No, it is part of the French Republic. They use the Euro, and you must pass through France border and get the France entry stamp. It is not associated with Canada, but there is a ferry connection to Canada (90 minutes).

@@DrifterDave My friend. Which is the city. Of Canada. Goes the ferry. ?

The ferry connects the village of Fortune, Newfoundland & Labrador with the islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. The nearest Canadian city is St. John's, Newfoundland, 5 hours by road from the ferry terminal.

I'm glad I was able to bring back some great memories for you! Thanks for checking out the video 😎 You should definitely take a trip back to Adak in the near future!

The Seven Crown wasn’t a sponsor of the video, so I was limited in the amount that I could include without venturing into the realm of free promotion. I found the hotel basic but comfortable enough! Similar to a Ramada / Days Inn in North America - not luxurious, but not uncomfortable. Standard budget to midrange hotel, in my experience 👍 Great restaurant, though!

@@DrifterDave thanks Dave. We are looking to travel there, but it was not as easy to find a decent hotel there compared to say Cabo or Huatulco.

That's completely fair. This is something that the local tourism board is aware of, and they're hoping for some international investment for hotel chains like Hilton, etc. to open properties here. To be honest, I'm not sure why the big chains continue to neglect La Paz. It objectively has WAY more to see and do than Cabo, yet Cabo gets all the love (and luxury). Hopefully within ten years, La Paz will see some new midrange to high end properties. I'd still suggest that you visit - try for an AirBNB, you might find something a lot more comfortable than the local hotels.

Amazing! I hope the video was able to bring back some memories for you. I’m sure it was a pretty vibrant place to live back during is heyday. Thanks for sharing your story!

Interesting! I had no idea. When did it burn down?

@@DrifterDave Elizabeth apartments 2004, lots of videos on fb. CN was 2019? Maybe, it was arson.

Definitely unfortunate to hear that arson is such a problem in PR!

Just the central area around the Cathedral, and the main boulevard heading north through the city! You’ll have a GREAT time! Perfectly safe and amazingly vibrant and bustling 👍 And CHEAP!

😂

I try my best! Depends how busy I am! 😂

It's an amazing archipelago and I was so excited that I was invited to discover it first hand. I'll definitely be a return visitor! If only it was a bit closer to where I live. One of the best-kept secrets in Canada, 100%.

Thanks for the kind words! I enjoy making these layover videos so I'm glad you enjoy them as well. As for the summer, I have a few sponsored trips to highlight some destinations in the USA and Canada, but I've been on the road for almost a year so I have plenty of international content coming in the year ahead as well!

@@DrifterDave awesome, looking forward to it. I think I stumbled on your videos the first time trying to get an idea about a layover in Copenhaggen. Thanks to vids I have Azores on my list. Keeping an eye out for the next cheap fair.

Definitely explore the Azores! Probably Europe’s most underrated and unknown destination. Totally worth it.

Glad that you found the video useful! I hope you have a great trip to Charlottetown - amazing place!

Too bad that you couldn't experience and enjoy the McDonald's!

Definitely in very bad shape!

You're very welcome! I hope you find it useful 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's not my cup of tea, either! Though I don't mind the $1 summer drinks.

👍

That would be intense! (but perhaps a bit radioactive 😂)

That would be amazing! If I had the funds, I'd definitely consider it. Last I checked it's about $800 for a day trip out there - likely a lot more now with inflation!

Check out my video of Dutch Harbour if you have time! I visited on the same trip as Adak. Amazing island as well!

@DrifterDave Will do brother. I hiked up bunker hill and Mt. Ballyhoo

100 kph for the most part! (At least in Sask & Manitoba)

Do you prefer it with the Mu or without?

@@DrifterDave with Mu. It turns a preposition that connects Kapiri(hill) and poshi(road I think, or was it junction?)

Interesting!!
