Do you think the underground chamber would be a bad idea for someone with claustrophobia or was there enough air flow?
@theslowtraveler2047 7 күн бұрын
It’s really quite big underground so I can’t imagine it would be a problem… the staircase would be the narrowest section but I don’t recall it being small but I also was not paying attention to that so hard to say for sure.

I loved this video and the honesty. As much as you would t go on the rock again (I’m not sure I could) was it worth hiking for the views?

Yes absolutely!! I would do the hike again if the weather was likely to be good, and wouldn’t even consider stepping on the rock :-)

In 2019 I Booked a ticket with Scoot Air, 520€, they cancelled it due to Covid 19 and would only give me a voucher credit. When I used the voucher to pay for short/cheaper flight a year later, they didn’t credit me difference. After 3 years of one sided complaint they now have responded by saying the original terms of the credit have expired! Total bunch of thieves…never uses them, uses Air Asia or Cebu Pacific instead

Thank you for the nice comment. Even though we covered lots of ground I didn’t think it was too much of a stretch except for that long drive out of the isle of Skye… I hope to come back one day and make it to the north coast.

I just have a question regarding the car/driving in Switzerland. What did you guys do with the car every time you guys went somewhere not car friendly? For example, when you went to Zermatt? Or how about when you went to Lucerne? I’m told that parking in Europe is an expensive mess, which is why I’m leaning towards just traveling by train, but a road trip in a beautiful place like Switzerland does look very free. Any advice would be appreciated!
@theslowtraveler2047 Ай бұрын
In both cases there was a parking station where you can just pay a fee for parking. Not cheap of course, but not outrageous (at least compared to my home city)... Street parking was also possible in a number of cities for shorter periods.

The only section I wouldn't recommend (but it is possible) is the stretch of road that you would drive if you don't take the ferry between Snaefellsnes Peninsula and Westfjords. Its slow going and very isolated... Almost everywhere else was fine.

Hi. I recently went for a holiday and rented a car in Dalaman, turkey. The company is called right cars. The rental car company turned out to be an absolute scam. They did not follow conditions written in the rental confirmation email. Instead of blocking the deposit they charged the actual credit card. Secondly, they charged a higher deposit of 900 Eur instead of Eur 650 written in contract. Thirdly, they charged in turkish lira using an exchange rate of their choice. It was 11pm at night and i had no option so I went along. Now I read their reviews online that they will do everything to avoid giving the deposit back. What are my options?
@theslowtraveler2047 Ай бұрын
Probably just doing a charge back on your credit card…. I had a similar experience with a hot air balloon operator being sluggish with refunding after claiming to be sold out. Took a while but the bank sorted it out via the CC
