Hi Jojo! Thank you for visiting - I’m really thrilled you subscribed!

I still remember how exciting it was as a child when the Dún Laoghaire ferry would dock in Holyhead on a Thursday and hundreds of people would debark to take advantage of late night shopping at M & S. It feels like another age. Probably wasn't quite as luxurious as the Silja Serenade though.

Can't beat a good day out in holyhead going to woolworths 🤣

[@PlanetPatrick]

I grew up in Jonesboro near Newry and remember people coming up for Jonesboro market on a Sunday and to go into Newry to go to Woolworths!

[@PlanetPatrick]

Will we be coming across now to get duty free on the way back from Wales, I wonder?

[@chickenlady3155]

@@PlanetPatrick I was visiting my Granny in Wrexham on the day Ken Dodd(?) came to open their new Woolworths, and the crowds in the streets looked like the Running of the Bulls.

That’s hilarious! I don’t want to ask about tickling sticks

Silja Serenade is my favorite cruise ship🛳

[@PlanetPatrick]

I think it’s my favourite too

when i was a small kid i always saw silja ships as space ships and beleived that they were from space XD i used to go to mainland in finland from Åland often with my parents and really enjoyed silja ships. i have never been on this ships but wants to experience it someday :)

[@PlanetPatrick]

What a lovely memory!

[@tommietyrrell8143]

We have done that trip ourselves the ship is very impressive,swimming pool and jacuzzi on top deck too Also would recommend color lines color magic cruise ferry from Olso to kiel too Another very impressive cruise ferry

[@PlanetPatrick]

Great tip, Tommie - I'll keep an eye out for that one as a possible future route. Thank you.

another excellent upload......really enjoyed it...

[@PlanetPatrick]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Silja Serenade was the largest ferry in the world when she was delivered in 1990. And she is as spectacular as ever. You should try Viking Lines new cruiseferry m/s Viking Glory. She serves the Stockholm-Åland Islands-Turku route. She was put into service a few weeks ago. :)

[@PlanetPatrick]

That’s a handy tip - thank you!

[@Moni_892]

Hi Markus… between Silja and Viking which one is your preference and recommendation? I read that Viking will make one stop at Aland?

[@Markmeister1989]

@@Moni_892 Both TallinkSilja and Viking Line make a stop at the Åland Islands. I would choose Viking Line if im going to Turku from Sweden because the vessels there are much more modern and on the Helsinki route i would choose Silja Symphony or Silja Serenade. :)

[@matsv201]

​@@Moni_892the turku line is the most profitable line, so it gets all the new modern ships. Viking line have bought new ships more recently and the newest one is proboly the most modern ship aflot today. Brand new and its sort of a study in new technology.

Great Video Patrick And Excellent Drone Footage How Much Do Pay For A G+T In Ireland Thank You

[@PlanetPatrick]

Good question, Henry. It’s probably at least that or more in a fancy bar in Dublin. I’m just tight 😂

Hi Patrick, is it easy to get taxi from olympia ferry terminal to helsinki airport?

[@PlanetPatrick]

Hi Catherine. I've not taken that route, I'm afraid. I took an Uber or taxi to the ferry terminal and I'm sure you could do the same to the airport.

[@Moni_892]

@@PlanetPatrick Taxi need to online booking or easy to catch every where in Helsinki city?

[@PlanetPatrick]

@@Moni_892 I don't use taxis, generally, always Uber.

80s nightclub in banbridge...The Coach? lol

[@PlanetPatrick]

😂Well spotted! The one and only!

[@MartyyHD]

@@PlanetPatrick unfortunately I never got in the 80s as im only 24 but i have been many many times in recent years. May i ask what drone you use?

[@PlanetPatrick]

I mean, I was never there in the 80s either (by the tiniest of margins though!!). Of course, I use a DJI Mini 2 - excellent quality footage for these 4K videos I make - would consider an upgrade later to get some obstacle sensors as this one has none.

[@MartyyHD]

@@PlanetPatrick Cheers! I have a drone (although its a chinese one) called the ZLRC Beast 3, its amazing for the price (£200) and it has a laser obstacle avoidance camera. I actually dont like using it too often as it even detects my helipad as an obstacle and wont land when using it, its also quite a heavy one so i had to get my operator license, however that was extremely easy to get online and i passed the test when i was drunk lmao

[@PlanetPatrick]

@@MartyyHD 🤪😂 - must look it up. The dji is under 250g, so it fits in my jacket pocket or bag and can be flown most places without the CAA license (or equivalent) though I got the license too for the craic. The weight was important as I travel only with hand luggage
