What to do in Quepos, Costa Rica - Karen's Quick Guide
Hi Karen... what is the name of the shopping centre you walked through straight from the shuttle bus? Did you walk from Hirome market to Kochi Castle? Great video thank you
Did you bring your own snorkel gear or can u hire ashore ? Im going next month. .Many Thanks
This was one of the best places I have ever visited. Thank you for the video
Dog gone it Karen!!! lol
This is a disgusting petting zoo with animals held in tiny pens for years on end. Steve struggles with mental health and antisocial behavior. This is a tourist trap meant to fleece money from cruise ship rubes by exploiting animals. Shame on you for promoting this nonsense.
Cruise Ship Karen. What a great name. I love 💕 it. Good luck with your channel.
Many thanks. Very helpful for my cruise planning!
Really helpful when planning my port of call in Kochi. Thank you.
How far from the ship are the markets
That was wonderful, good job on getting us information on Alaska. We are going this summer and Juneau is one of our stops; we are looking forward to it.
I wish you could've wrote where they are and what they are called.
Loving this , it was really nice spending the day with you guys, all the cooking and interacting was amazing ❤ Elma 🇻🇨
Hi Karen
Hi Karen, do you still remember the address of the Otaru cruise port terminal. I cannot find it on Google map. Thanks
Ai tai...takamatsu...😊☺
Como faço para ir morrar ai??? Sou do Brasil e quero ir para ai
Thank you so much for the video we will be cruising there in March 2024 ...you helped a lot
You're welcome. I'm glad it was useful for you. It's a fantastic port, and Japan is amazing all round. I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. Happy cruising!

May I ask what month it was while visiting Homer? We are looking at early May 2024, and we are curious if the weather will be similar to your video. Thank you for the videos of Alaska!
Shame about the sound quality of the video! Outside particularly poor. All the lovely old historic houses and most of the land now owned by the Germans. They paint the trees outside their houses white!! Weird!! So genuine 'Sydneysiders' can't afford to live there or buy/own houses or land. All the old industries for the original inhabitants all gone now. No fishing (over fished) , mining (closed mines), steel works (closed) etc. so very little for the local children to do when they finish their education. They all have to move away to find work/decent jobs. It's a 'quaint' place for the rich American tourists to visit though. At least the little gift shops, bars and restaurants can make some money during the summer/autumn season - hopefully!
Taking a cruise there in October - thanks for your tour suggestions! I was thinking there's not a whole lot to do in Sydney, but the coal mine tour looks interesting!
GREAT VIDEO.
Hopefully heading to Dravuni island later this year, what part of the island did you do your snorkeling?
Stop feeding and/or touching anything that is living in the water.
Can you confirm there is a shuttle bus from the cruise terminal to the city loop bus? Does it need to be booked or free?
Love the clean color of the ocean 😍❤️❤️
How do we book this tour and what is the price? Thank you.
Hi Al, I don’t book any tours sorry. I am a travel speaker and writer. Sorry but I can’t remember the name of the company I went with for this tour as a friend booked it. It was a local tour in the port though. Hope you have a good time
are there any thrift shops in ports? I heard u mention Wal-Mart in Ketchikan? was dat right?
Just returned from our first visit to Dunfermline and Karen your video was brilliant, gave us really good info about places to visit, you are a great ambassador for your city ❤ and Khushis was amazing 😋
That’s one extreme Ice Bucket Challenge where you have to kiss a fish head. Ha ha
Wow, that was a really nice video. We're taking a cruise to that part of the world in 2023 and we found your video quite helpful. Thanks so much -- great job.
Thank you for watching and for your kind comments. I'm glad you found my video helpful. I have videos for quite a few ports on the Canada and New England itinerary, so take a look if you'd like as the other videos can be useful for your other port stops too. Have a wonderful trip! It is a beautiful part of the world :)
Why don’t you show all of the disgusting Ticas who prey on rich American Men? Disgusting place. I would not send my worst enemy to Quepos.
Wow great footage, lots to see and do.
Thank you very much. I love Ketchikan, it is a beautiful town and the surrounding area is fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it :)
You didn't go into the town of Homer 🙂.
Unfortunately I didn't have time. I wish I had, hopefully I will have another chance to another day. So, I created a video for what I could. Thank you for watching :)
❤ your vlog
Thank you very much for watching! :)
Wonderful history.
Thank you very much. It is an interesting town with a lot of history, it's a nice place to come from. Glad you enjoyed it. There are lots of other videos on my channel if you'd like to take a look at any others, all the best and happy travels :)

Planning to go there next sunday. Booked a Koala hug session.🇹🇷🇦🇺
Fantastic! My apologies for the late reply, I've been doing an MBA. I'm glad you made it there! It is a wonderful place! Hope you got and enjoyed your koala hug! They are amazing animals! Happy travels :)
Nice video👏👏

My wife was born in Dunfermline 1952. Left for New Zealand 1967. We came back to Dunfermline 2019, first time since she left. Loved the visit, lots of great history. Loved the glen. Aroha from NZ
I was just there a couple days ago on a Norwegian cruise and this was my favorite excursion. Sadly the gentleman who drove us out there told us that someone gave one of his wolves antifreeze and she died and a grizzly killed his moose a couple weeks ago.
