Hi, Richard. Thanks for watching. It's surprisingly big, and really easy to tie down. We put in small lawn chairs, coolers, beach blankets etc. You could get a couple small suitcases inside. We always make sure that whatever goes in is bulky, but light. I don't want to add too much weight onto the top of the vehicle. It definitely helps as our SUV was just running out of space on the inside.

@@scottoftheroad Thanks for the feedback..

No need to validate on the tram. The ticket is time stamped. Just have the ticket available if someone asks to see it. Check out this link for various ticket options - www.zvv.ch/zvv/en/travelcards-and-tickets/tickets.html Thanks for watching my video.

@@scottoftheroad what about the S-Bahn trains, do those not have to be validated either? Thank you so mush for answering btw :) !!!

@@lauraelenarivera2863 No need to validate on S Bahn either. Just have your ticket ready if asked for it on any train, and make sure the time stamp of when you bought it is current.

@@scottoftheroad thank you !! ⭐️

Agreed. I've been going to Boise for years and finally made it to the penitentiary. It's well worth the visit. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I know Idaho when it's overcast and drizzling (or snowing). Luckily, this day it was hot and sunny. I was impressed how nicely landscaped the prison yard was ... probably helps to have the Idaho Botanical Garden right next to it, which is another great place to visit when flowers are in bloom. Thanks for watching!

The food was tasty and quite filling (as the portions in the video show). The staff was really friendly as well. It was a cozy place to eat on a chilly December evening. I'll certainly go back there again the next time I'm in Frankfurt. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the comment, Kamran. I should have changed from 60Hz to 50Hz when recording. I didn't realize how low the lighting was … it felt bright enough in the museum that afternoon. This was filmed at 30 FPS, but in Germany, lights "flicker" at 50 Hz. I still wanted to post the video since the museum is definitely worth visiting when you're in Trier. Thanks for watching, and for the feedback!

It's a great place to see bands play. I like how you can hear the music when hiking the trails around that part of town. The sound carries nicely. Thanks for watching!

I believe it's 869. Here's a link ... www.thule.com/en-us/cargo-carrier/car-top-carrier/thule-interstate-_-1683516

Yeah, that's something you likely wouldn't forget. I did a self-guided tour because of my schedule, but guided tours are usually the way to go. Although you do learn quite a bit just from reading all the signs throughout the buildings in the prison yard. Thanks for watching!

Well said. You just can't tire of his symphonies. I remember a music class I took and the professor talked about Beethoven with similar thoughts as yours. He also had quite a bit of respect for Gustav Mahler in the same manner as he did Beethoven. I didn't really know Mahler then, but that lecture made me start listening to him as well. Thanks for watching.

@@scottoftheroad Thanks for sharing, Beethoven is amazing!

@@scottoftheroad Regarding his 9th symphony my favourite is the one done by Herbert von Karajan. The Tempo, the singers WOW! czcams.com/video/XRCe86HVSJw/video.html

I liked it. Ketchup and Mustard were replaced with a somewhat spicy sauce that I believe was mayo based. Not sure if it is on the menu year round, but if I ever get back to Belgium and see it, I'll order again. Plus for €2.40, I couldn't afford not to buy it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Hoping you had (or will have) a great time in Switzerland. I wouldn't mind getting back there again soon.

Lies again? Balls Of Unicorn USD SGD

I'm not aware of a free public transit card in Zurich through hotels. I did see that hotels in Bern offer something like this though in case you're heading there as well. I stayed at an airbnb in both cities, and when I asked the owner in Bern if a transit card came with the rental, he said it didn't.

Thanks for watching. Makes sense. We flew direct to Frankfurt from North America, so it was nice to not have transfers. I wanted to buy a train ticket from FRA to Cologne in advance to save a few euros, but I chose not to just in case we had delays at the airport.

@@scottoftheroad Cologne Airport is quite small. I had to give myself a few hours either way to take into account delays but despite the DB train strike I got there on time!

@@barryrowlings83 The lady at my hotel did say that German train’s don’t always run on time, but I had great luck every time I used them. They were right on schedule. Nice to hear from NW England. I was planning on getting back around there in the fall (Chester), but looks like my work schedule has changed that. Hoping for next year!

Thanks for watching. Yes, I always bring cash just in case. I used it at Christmas markets, but other than that it was basically all credit cards. I tend to bring more cash than needed to avoid fees from ATMs where I don’t bank, but again, I didn’t use much of it.

Definitely buy your tickets online though! 160€ for that distance is a rip-off, and you can get it from just 9€ if you buy in advance.

Thanks for watching. And thanks for the comment. I’m enjoying your videos as well. I need to get to Warsaw soon.

Thanks for watching! Yes, that music is compliments of iMovie. I thought it was kind of catchy.

swiss citizens earn more than greek ones ;)

Not a small mistake, a big mistake. If you want to explain something to others, you should inform yourself first. In my experience, the easiest way is always to use the public transport app for the city you are visiting, then you have the right connection and the right ticket in your pocket.

cause fuck cars lol

I agree with you. One of the cleanest airports I've ever been in, and there is always a place to sit and relax. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I didn't realize how much I liked learning about chocolate until I went to this museum. It was a fun time seeing how everything is done.

Hi, Mike. I was hoping someone would confirm what bird this was. I sure was off with my golden eagle guess. Thanks for watching my videos, especially all the way to the end on this one so you could comment on the raptor.

Hey, Diego. I've had no problems with scratches. I guess there are no guarantees, but seems as though it would be hard to scratch as the bag is a heavy vinyl with no sharp edges. I'm always extra careful putting the bag on the car empty, not overfilling it with heavy items, and emptying everything before removing.

thanks a lot, i think im going for this on my jimny, cheers from the chilean patagonia!@@scottoftheroad

@@diegotrujillo6673 I'm glad you found this video useful. You'll like the Thule bag. Hoping to get down your way soon, although I guess a bit north of you. We're planning to drive from Santiago to Buenos Aires.

I decided a simpler clock with the bird on top and wood carvings around the front fits better at home. I do believe there's a cuckoo clock for any budget, and that one fits well with mine. By the way, nice job showing all your clocks on your channel.

The tram is an option, but I agree with you; it does take more time. For just a few more Swiss Francs we decided on the train. I'm overly cautious, and wanted to get to the airport as quickly as possible. Thanks for the comment!

Tram nr.10 is sloooow

We wondered about that too, but decided that it would be fine as the installed luggage bars support some of the weight and we don't put anything heavy in the bag. We use it for lighter, bulkier items (beach towels, clothing, paper plates, etc.) and put the heavier items in the SUV. So far, we've had no problems. If you're still concerned, you could purchase a hard-shell rooftop carrier as I believe those ride fully on the rack and don't touch the car/moonroof at all. We wanted the bag as we have no pace to store a large plastic box when we're not using it.

It was. I wasn't joking when I said in the video that I was reliving my childhood. Luckily, many of my purchases made fun take-home gifts for friends.

Thanks for watching, Craig. The Cleveland airport is easy to fly into, and within 30 minutes you're downtown via the train. If you're going to see a concert or football game, it works perfectly.

We really enjoyed Bern, and there are a couple of really easy day trips from this area of Switzerland. I would suggest Avenches for the Roman Ruins.

Thanks! It was so easy to get around Zürich by public transit, and to use it to get to the airport, that I figured I'd better share with everyone. I appreciate your comments!

Hey there. Wind noise wasn't a problem for us. We tuck the excess strap length under just to secure it better. Honestly, I don't think I've noticed any noise. It's been a great purchase. It provides just enough extra room for roadtrips, and it packs away nicely when you're not using it. Thanks for watching!

The Collins Express stops around 44th and Collins, which is close to Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
