I think I actually remember this specific cruise ship coming into Hobart. The cruise ships come in and they are so big they just seem to block out the whole skyline, and often wreck the view.

[@brightonkat]

Such a great idea to split the cruise into separate videos rather than one rushed version! Really enjoyed the last cruise series, and loving this one as well! Shame your excursion was cancelled, but if the weather was that bad maybe it was for the best... and you really made the best of the extra free time (although I'm not sure I could cope with bungee-fitness, it did look fun.)

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks so much!! I feel stressed at the idea of putting this all into one video haha -it would probably end up being two hours long!😅 that’s awesome you watched our last cruise series too!! Haha the bungee class definitely isn’t for everyone 🤣

[@mustwereallydothis]

I absolutely agree with everything you said, although younger me would have enjoyed the bungee class very much.

[@marilynhardman5239]

You could have gone to MONA in Hobart, a very interesting modern art gallery, always worth a visit! Love your videos.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahh yes we did hear about that!! We’ll have to pop it on our list for next time when we return 😁 thanks for watching!!

[@FromPeakstoParenthood]

Definitely worth going there! It’s pretty wild haha

[@karaokequeen6683]

MONA is definitely a fantastic way to spend time in Hobart! I also recommend Bruny Island for a beautiful day in the area. I love your videos. Can't wait to watch more!

[@exitritual]

Always entertaining! Ludvig's eyes when Chloé says, "...2024, the year of our marriage." Haha!

[@chloeandludvig]

🤣🤣he’s excited I swear

[@NickP16]

Excellent video as always Chloe and Ludvig! I found your channel when you guys uploaded your Amtrak trip Chloe, across America. I’ve been hooked ever since. Keep up the great videos. I enjoy seeing all these ones that you and Ludvig put together.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks Nick!! Appreciate the comment and I’m thrilled you are enjoying the videos!!!! Thanks for joining us! 😜

[@djjd8520]

well gosh dangit all to hecking heck, I'm a new subscriber and I wasn't alerted to this new video...I have already binge watched every video on the channel and I been waiting for a new one and this is already 5 days old as i'm typing this and I had no idea :( well anyway I'm excited to watch so LET'S GOOOOOOO ( also i'm hoping for some Ludvig banter/shenanigans ) !

[@chloeandludvig]

Hehehe, well I am so happy to hear you saw the video! Hopefully you enjoyed the Ludvig banter ;)

[@Abigail_Wyatt]

I personally enjoyed the plate swirls lol😂👍🏻

[@chloeandludvig]

😂😂 so glad there’s some appreciation

[@larisaschreiber3146]

"cute" 😂...No really, I loved every minute! Every time I hear that sneaky mystery suspenseful spy music in the background I know we're all in for a good time with Chloe & Luddie...ahem, Ludvig. Thx guys 🍻

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha, yes, that suspenseful music does makes it's way into our. videos often... I guess we are always up to sneaky mischief ;) Thanks for watching Larisa!

[@9090evirht]

This video brought back so many happy memories for me. Dad's side of the family live in Hobart, so growing up used to go down for holidays. In fact, my Auntie's brother (Aunty by marriage) owns Da Angelo restaurant (Battery Point). Chloé and Ludvig, the bookstore that you went to in Salamanca, was it called Deja Vu Books? If it was, another of my Uncles works there.

[@chloeandludvig]

Aw so glad to hear that!!😁 thanks for joining us on the adventure!! I’m girly certain that was the name actually! Very cute book store 😃

[@sascharai1335]

Some possible reasons an excursion gets canceled: by the ship, a) not enough people signed up, to reach the required minimum to have it be profitable or at least break even by the local operator, b) local road closures or similar, so it can't run on time c) local guides / vehicles not available d) as it was approx. 1.5 hrs from the port, local weather conditions, which can be different than at the coast/port There can be others, but those are some of the most common

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahhh yes, thanks for sharing! I imagine it was one of the above :)

[@nonacee5065]

We had many tours cancelled in our time but the one in Maui many years ago was out of the blue. It was snorkelling in a caldera. When we asked why, the excursion desk said it was the weather, but it was a beautiful day so we asked a local after we wandered through the town and the local said there had been a shark attack in the caldera the day before and it was a cruise passenger. No wonder they cancelled the tour, however the truth wouldn't have hurt. I don't know if she survived.

[@jazzygirl4140]

Yay. I'll be watching in the middle of the night, while normal people would be asleep. Lol 😂❤

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha nice!!! 👍🏼 appreciate you!!! Are you in the USA?

[@jazzygirl4140]

@@chloeandludvig Yep ! Los Angeles! ✨️

[@mustwereallydothis]

It's not that we aren't normal. We simply prefer to operate on New Zealand time.

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh amazing!! We love it there!!@@jazzygirl4140

[@gabrielamunoz2320]

I'm quite seriously considering one of the Australia cduises now, definitely looks worth the flight literally halfway across the world. And really intrigued about that bungee class!

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh it is most definitely worth it! Especially if you join a longer cruise - make it worth your while :) the bungee class is a must try🤣

[@madeinblender7406]

5:54 These are actually Cormorants. Kind of similar, but Cormorants can actually fly.

[@Tronblue007]

Great video guys, see you Sunday for the next one 😊. I’ll just keep watching your NZ van trip around NZ series’s. 👍🏼

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you!! Awesome to hear you are catching up on the NZ series in the mean time! Enjoy!

[@MapManLK]

I was in Hobart for a week in 2019 visiting an old friend (known him since we met in Denver, Colorado in 1968 when I was 18) and had a wonderful time. Did the on-off bus tour which went by the brewery you visited and the female prison grounds. My friend took me to a weekend market along the wharf and then we drove around Battery Point. We drove to Mt. Wellington and it was brilliant! The high point of my visit had to have been the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) about twenty minutes north of Hobart. The art is stunning but so is the architecture of the whole privately run compound. Such a wonderful time in and around Hobart! Would love to go back.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thats wonderful! Sound like you really made the most of your time in Hobart! We loved it there and can't wait to return! :)

[@patrick8035]

Great video! We just got back from sailing on Resilient Lady (short 3 night cruise) so I was disappointed that we couldn’t try all the food. We did thoroughly enjoy Gunbae and Razzle Dazzle for dinner and the Wake for brunch. I’m keen to get your thoughts on your cabin - we opted for a balcony in the middle because I’m always paranoid about getting sea sickness, but your room looks just like ours, just without the balcony. Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@DubuSweetie]

Greetings from Mexico! I loved your channel since you travelled across USA by train! When come to Mexico?

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you!!! So glad you joined us!! We hope to come to Mexico one day! There are definitely a few trains we’d like to try!

[@JamesGJGSUSHI]

You guys are so fun. Epic ship, too!

[@chloeandludvig]

Aw thanks James!!! Glad you think so!😆 it’s a freakin awesome ship right?

[@adventuresbyrust]

The historic brewery looks fantastic. Can you tour inside the old building?

[@davidl.6509]

Going in late January 2025, looks like a great cruise!

[@chloeandludvig]

That’s so exciting!! Enjoy!!😉

[@T3CHGY007]

What a fun trip you guys are having! Its making me decide if i should go on a cruise! I have never been on one before, or have not been of of my home country since is was 18! currently i am almost 55! so it has been awhile lol! Looks like even Ludvig is enjoying it! lol oh and tell Ludvig that i did it!!

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay so glad you at enjoying the experience with us!! You should definitely try it yourself :) haha Ludvig likes a cruise even if he doesn’t realise it at the time 🤣😅

[@randolphruedrich6626]

Yea!!!!…….I have been so curious to see y’all’s video on Tasmania and bungee exercising class. I appreciate the social niceties advice; “1/4 right” which can be flipped to “1/4 wrong”. I’m Sooo going to use this.Ludwig’s take on the world always gives me a chuckle. Y’all compliment each other so much. Take Care and thanks again Ps. British term “having a wobbly”….. so funny… i work into conversation, helps calms down people -HUGS…to Y’all😊 Off to get another iced mocha …

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks so much Randolph!! Haha glad you got lots of nice takeaways from the vid! I love Ludvigs interesting thoughts and comments - he sure does entertain me all day 🤣

[@mustwereallydothis]

I shall also be adopting "having a wobbly" as my own

[@sherriedavis8688]

Love your videos!

[@chloeandludvig]

Woohoo thanks Sherrie!!

[@adventuresbyrust]

I've done the bungee class. It was okay but I loved the VHS one much better.

[@nickistarling4056]

Woooo!

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks for watching Nicki!!!

[@MrSouthernlord]

The Cascade Brewery may say they make craft beers but they don't. They just make commercial beers. Do not go there and expect to drink quality beers.

[@lindawheeler3242]

😍 cute

[@The-Day-Off]

These two are so fun. I wanna collab with them while drinking coffee and eating me weight in the good food they show us 😂

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha that about sums up our hobbies 🤣😂

[@namlhots]

Next time take the ferry up the Dewent to the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). It is worth the trip.

[@chloeandludvig]

I have head that’s a must do! Next time for sure 😁

[@kimberlypettit2038]

As someone who lives in burnie, I am sorry.

[@Nunyabiz34]

Such a great video! I feel like Ludvig really put on his dad voice at the end 😂

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahhaa it was such a dad voice wasn’t it!!! 🤣🤣

[@janeray115]

Never come here -Tasmania is awful.,!

[@chloeandludvig]

We loved it 😊

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

Nice try
