You must come back to my island. You didn't stay long enough to experience the culture and so much more!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Cathy! We're actually hoping to come next year if possible. Anything in particular we should do?

[@Fuchs7456]

Hello and greetings from a Brit in Berlin. I spent over 25 years of my life in Bristol, UK, from where Cabot sailed to the "New Founde Lande" as he called it, in his tiny ship the "Matthew". They built a replica "Matthew" in 1997, and sailed the thing to Canada and back - the crew enjoyed themselves although they said on such a ship it was impossible to keep dry. Also worth noting that Bristol also has a problem with the tidal range, second only to the Bay of Fundy in Canada. And Bristolians will tell you that America isn't named after Amerigo Vespucci, but after Cabot's financial manager, a Welshman named Rhysiart ap Meryck. (!!) Keep up the good work, folks - and Togo is a star!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Keith! Incredible to learn more of the history from you. What a journey it must have been back then. We'd love to visit Bristol someday. Do you get to revisit often from Berlin?

[@Fuchs7456]

I used to visit a couple of times a year to see friends, but nowadays they come here. Quite honestly, with Brexit looming, I prefer to stay in Germany, and I now have an unlimited residence permit. Next month I have a Citizenship test with a view to obtaining German nationality. Bristol's a great city, all the same - not only the Cabot links, but Isambard Kingdom Brunel's famous steamship the "Great Britain" (launched 1843) is a dry dock where she was originally built - first large passenger ship in the world with a screw propellor rather than paddles and she started life on transatlantic voyages. There are also old buildings associated with R L Stevenson's "Treasure Island" and Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" - the latter based on a true story when Captain Woodes-Rogers sailed from Bristol around the world and found a Scot, Alexander Selkirk, marooned on Juan Fernandez Island. And don't forget Brunel's wonderful Clifton Suspension Bridge........OK, I could go on - I used to be a tourist guide for South-West England, but moved to Berlin in 2007 and worked as a guide here until I retired!

Hoping to do this drive in a couple of months (First week of October) - I've read a number of comments about the lack of washroom facilities on the cabot trail - how was your experience - were there many in HIghland Provincial Park?? The rest of the trail - thanks - really enjoy your Vlogs - take care.....

[@samuelandaudrey]

We had no trouble finding washrooms along the Cabot Trail - there was always a gas station or coffee shop along the way, plus also public washrooms once we entered the national park. You can pick up a map at the visitor centre once you enter the park and that'll show you which trails have bathroom facilities.

[@Vegasbushy1]

WOW - thanks for taking the time to reply to my question - really appreciated.....my wife feels a lot better now with that info - If you are ever coming down to the Niagara Falls area - please let us know - we're about 1 mile from the "Falls" and Marineland - would love to show you around a bit and treat you to a supper - take care - safe travels......P.S. - we love your dog.....
