I can't imagine that journey without Scotman! He barges through cultural barriers with a broad smile that melts even the hearts of seasoned tour guides and crews!

[@amandacorey1939]

Oh my goodness, Gerald can truly make friends wherever he goes. I laughed outloud at the celebration of his return to the boat!

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I thought the very same.

[@hectorbrown656]

Scotman is such a good companion to have when you are voyaging , l love the way you film your blogs

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thank you 😊

[@hollyrose1505]

Gerald, can I be your sister too??? You’ve got the best personality ever! You’re always happy! I hope you move to LaLande soon. ♥️

[@ntakovacj3644]

This is the best view I've had of Egypt. No, I haven't watched tons of travel programs about Egypt BUT ... who hasn't seen a million photos and movies and visited museums to see all these artifacts. I can honestly say that your video gave some breathtaking moments that brings it up so close. Even Gerald standing by one of the stones near the pyramids. And the tombs the workers built for themselves. You make it real.

[@love2bhappy28]

Oh my word! Gerald’s dancing, is life. 🙌🏻🕺 He’s amazing 👏🏻

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

The Egyptian people are so good humoured and always ready with a smile. Thanks for sharing. x

[@auntieescreations4309]

Gerald looks like the most fun person on the planet. I hope I can meet him one day

[@twotanks6427]

We were killing ourselves laughing at the antics of you and Gerald. Scotman is our new hero!

[@TheChateauDiaries]

He was the most amazing fun to go on holiday with 😂

[@corinnapetry65]

"A tomb with a view." Ha ha ha! Delightful.

[@JOHNOBRIEN-bz7dz]

What a fabulous tour WE had with you as the guide !!

[@JudythJ60]

Love Gerald's irrepressible enthusiasm for life!

[@enneki929]

Indiana Mc Jones. I laughed out so loud! oh Gerry.

[@nataliasuhoveeva6011]

OMG, Stephanie and Gerald - what a mix of knowledge and laughter. Love you both!

[@pattiearehart118]

Gerald (aka Scottsman) is definitely someone to travel with!

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

Goodness! I have a feeling that Stephanie would have a wonderful time wherever she went, but I also have a feeling that being with Gerry whatever fun can be had is an even bigger deal.

[@liavanus]

Only Stephanie can pull off a destroyed hat like that 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@aleta5873]

I have no idea what the Scotman is saying but I believe it's funny and he's a doll...love him !

[@rhondathomas7952]

I can’t even begin to tell you how much Injabe enjoyed these three travel vlogs! The joy you guys bring to everything you do makes us all very happy! My daughter has even become a patrion, and tells me that some day we are coming to visit La Lande! In the meantime we will keep enjoying your videos. God Bless!

[@monalingan9523]

Fascinating trip! Gerry was the crew favorite 😂

[@joannejohnston3531]

I have enjoyed this video so much! Thank you ☺ you have made me smile and laugh out loud, Gerald is so funny and Stephanie you always look so beautiful and glamorous and I love your commentary. A really lovely tour of Egypt and the cruise down the Nile looks fabulous!

[@HollyRose1529]

Everyone needs a Gerald!!! Love the tartan fez! 🥰 Amazing trip.

[@ceejaymueller5664]

You and Jerry are so funny and loveable

[@judiscallan769]

I am now living vicariously through your adventures Stephanie. Love seeing Gerald having so much fun. Since recently becoming one of the Chateau's patrons, I'm going back and watching all the Chateau Diaries I've missed. I'm having such a good time of it. Laughing makes everything so much better. I look forward to seeing you vlogs when you can again travel. ♡ Judi

[@GaryAndHeatherBush]

Oh to be a fly on the wall in the staff room on that boat. 🤣 What a spectacular traveling duo! Thank your for taking us around the world. Happy New Year to all. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕

[@Andrea_Weird]

As I work my way through your catalog of stories, in order, I’m thinking the Egypt episodes might be my favorite, so far. The Towel Gerry made me scream with laughter! Love to you and Gerry, Stephanie! Your vlogs have been my joy during this mandatory quarantine. ❤️

[@pfcampos7041]

I can always count on you for some great humor and an adventure!

[@amayastrata4629]

Such an educational and very interesting video. Also Gerald is very funny. Actually, both of you have a wonderful humour. So glad I found ‘the chateau diaries’.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thank you, Amaya 😊

[@corieddings5713]

I love it...Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple 😂🤣 I almost spat my tea.

[@Mabbi54]

This had me laughing out loud. You two... 😂😂

[@paean109]

"It got a little Ben Hur back there".. hahahahaha.. Too funny.. what a fabulous trip.

[@FrugalOverFifty]

Watching this in June 2020 and almost in tears from laughing so hard. Scotman!!!

[@claritadeluna6609]

I am watching it in October 2021 and i am killing myself laughing 😂. I hope Gerry was able to replace the banana he managed to smash all over the camera - hysterical! Is he related to Stephanie, or a family friend? Nothing keeps down this Scotsman; his level of optimism is contagious. I love it!

[@jmk1962]

Stephanie you are such a good narrator/storyteller.

[@johnm6972]

I lost it with the lucky pooh dress.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

😂

[@rachaeljones6564]

I love learning new things about history. Although, I was shocked to learn that Moses McGrady is the reason the israelites spent 40 years looking for the promised land! 😱😂

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

Your channel has given me new life!! As the Australian government may keep us locked in the country until late 2021. They closed the borders this March... Such a long long time without travel. But alas your channel!! is spectacular to say the least. 🌷🌸🥂🏰

[@BiancaMH]

The new Gerry! LOL!!!!!

[@rostallar4243]

Gotta love Gerry! Love this adventure in Egypt!

[@candacezukas4326]

OMG! The Egypt videos have been the best of the whole series so far! Gerald is the funniest!!! LOL!

[@dittedyret]

What a joy to watch you two together on a trip like this. That whole journey is now on my bucket list.. With a little stay at a beach resort after :D

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Gorgeous journey 🥰

[@hkoepfle]

Gerry is the best! He cracks me up.

[@samscarboro6805]

Indiana McJones! You are truly blessed to have such a brother. You can see clearly his love for you.

[@sarahmiller1815]

Loved it! It brought me back to when I went to Egypt in 1999. I definitely missed some things. You two had so much fun.

[@GennyPender]

Gerry is the actual best. Way too funny

[@staceyhildenbrand4743]

Wow, great footage. I have seen travel shows of this area but more interesting through your eyes! Thank you🇨🇦

[@sallysampson628]

So wonderful to ‘come along’ with you both. Stephanie you’re a world of knowledge and Gerry aka Scotman, you’re such a fun, lovely guy who brings laughter and joy to all occasions. I always had an interest in ancient Egypt from a child and longed to visit one day, alas I became ill and it developed into a long term disability so I’m unable to visit Bognor Regis 😳 let alone Egypt. So I watch other people instead. Stephanie you looked like a Bond girl in your white dress amongst the Pyramids! I keep finding vlogs that I missed so this was a happy bonus especially as I only just watched your New Year 2024 in London!! Thanks guys 🥂🍾🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@judydee7644]

I visited Egypt decades ago but cruising and swimming in the Nile were not offered. Getting on a camel was. I do believe you and Scotman make everywhere a party.

[@amberroberson883]

What a Magical Voyage!

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

Stephanie, please also get some horses, cows, bees and sheep for your chateau! :)

[@headron66]

It’s bamboozeld me to see that you have only 15 thousand subs. Come on folks. This is great watching and Gerald is so gallus. ❤️

[@TheChateauDiaries]

💛💛💛

[@badapple65]

I think there is over 50,000 subs. Possibly the channel has grown a lot in a month of world wide quarantine? I discovered this channel about 4 weeks ago myself. Stephanie could host her own television show undoubtedly. No matter what the subject. Ancient architecture, arts, travel, food, she has a passion for life and is surrounded by such lovely family and friends. I think that it would be a dream come true to take my wife to stay at the chateau.

[@shewana4371]

Fun and really interesting.

Thanks! 💛

[@livingthegoodlifechannel]

Lux soap....Luxor.... connection? Internal hotel joke? I remember that soap. Sometimes you think that a product's company has went out of business but then you see it in another country. So strange. Gerald seems to live on bananas. Maybe it helps him with his story telling. You all are having so much fun; it makes me smile. The boat crew LOVES Gerald.

[@janetcameron4743]

Brilliant! I've just been gorging on Miss Marple, and you see her in Egypt... Did you see Poirot, as well?

[@janisgriffith2919]

Stephanie, your clothes are beautiful!

You travel with so much class.I just wanna follow in your footsteps,you know exactly where to stay and what to do.

I enjoyed the video, thank you!!

[@davevans54]

Better than most documentaries of cruises down the Nile. The vision and camera work were very good. I hoped that we would see a donkey wearing Gerry's hat but perhaps that is for another day.

[@mariesymcewan7737]

Wonderful you two are great craic altogether!!!!! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Gerald for President!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey, it had me laughing all the way. It must be a great experience going on holiday with 'the Scotman', and that fez ..... wonderful x

I was in Egypt January 2019 and February 2020 I did the Nile cruise and went to visit that temple last year... and yes I did walk around it 7x 🙂 thank you for sharing!

What a joy Gerald is;)

[@KimmyQueen]

Larger than the Angkor Wat temple complex....? I have a feeling that is not the case... The temple complex in Cambodia is like 400 acres whereas Karnak is 200 acres or so. Even though ancient it is of course beautiful and it is big. Gerard's disposition is always amazing.

[@snoopybluejeans]

That was awesome.
