Thanks for the videos. Indeed, Wolfgang and Marlene are the most generous and welcoming of friends and we were very envious of your trip with them this year.hopefully we will avail ourselves of their company sometime next year but alas, do not have the expertise of being a vlogger to show our travels with the. - instead, we are old fashioned bloggers.

Did you ever imagine that when you set out on your Odyssey that you would meet such amazing people who would become life long friends and open up new adventures and experiences 😊, stunning waterways with so much history , thank you to you all for sharing and taking us along on another lovely and enlightening trio of vlogs, thank you.😊

Life is full of surprises. We met many lovely people along the way, but a few very special ones, our odyssey changed us in so many ways. Thank you for your kind words. More vlogs in the future I’m sure, though a tough challenge to make them as interesting! Watch this space. X

Dear friends, we enjoyed it very much to have you both on board and thanks for your three episodes about your experiences and we appreciate that you showed also the "darkest side" of German History. And you did it not with pointing a finger but with the most important aspect of "learning and never forget". Your dearest friends Marlene & Wolfgang

Receiving notification of Boating in Berlin Part 2, led me to your website to find Part 1, where I also found your vlog on the PS Waverly. So I'm having a Vlog from the Frog binge! Thanks for this. Very different from a narrowboat on the UK canals! Now on to Part 2.

It was very different in lots of ways but still very enjoyable. We do miss the canals though!

Good to see you back vlogging. I didn't receive notification of this and also not for Boating in Berlin Part 1. Seeing notification of B-in-B Part 2, sent me to your website to look for Part 1 and there I found this! Very interesting to me. I travelled on the Waverly several times when on holiday in Scotland in the early to mid 60s. She was a wonderful ship then, run by MacBraynes I think, travelling the Firth of Clyde area from Helensburgh to various islands. I loved travelling on her in all weathers!

That’s a real endorsement of how good it was that you didn’t want it to end. It’s such a shame that here aren’t more boats on this section of canal, though I know it’s only short. We’re looking forward to our next leg, once this rubbish summer weather allows!
