replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales My son got stung by a jellyfish on that beach. He asked what I could do for him, I said apparently if you pee on a jellyfish sting it helps. He decided he’d rather die. An hour later it was a distant memory as we sat watching a movie in the movie bars nearby. #PTtravel

replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @kate_frankie I do love a bit of Kerala. Some amazing rivers up in Kashmir too. If ever you’re back in #India. #PTtravel

replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers #pttravel It looks much more fun in an airboat, with a machine gun up front, and a speaker belting out Rolling Stones 'Satisfaction' 🤣

A1 I much prefer rivers and canals than the open sea, despite my expression on the first photo

replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers @Txiki_Tales #pttravel It does work ... if you don't have any vinegar handy!

replying to @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie Oh, that's not true. We took the Viking ship up the St Lawrence, stopping in Quebec, Montreal + Toronto, as well as a few smaller towns on the way. It wasn't exactly luxury, as we went from the cold, iceberg-filled North Atlantic, to a heatwave of 33°c with no shade. #PTTravel

Q2 How do you find accommodation on boats? Do they have all the facilities you need?

@kate_frankie A2: i mean, they have somewhere to lie, somewhere to cook, and somewhere to poop. It's fine.
And you can drive them to pubs, which caters for two of those needs!
The electrics aren't great, and the cooking isn't ideal, but it's fine. #pttravel

A2 I've never looked tbh. Just not my thing - I did spend one night in a wheelhouse on a houseboat on the Ouse in York. That was enough. Forever 🤢 #pttravel

replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut Backwaters in Kerala would be fantastic. I've loved afternoon trips there but would like a longer trip one time to explore more #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I'm always amazed on a boat where I can have a bunk to myself + the water ingress is minimal. I have basic needs 😁 #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel Adequate ... sometimes luxurious, especially on Rhine cruise boats. I little cramped on some of the older boats, but I can live with it.

A2 #pttravel I’ve never stayed overnight on a boat, so I can’t say anything about overnight accommodations. Seating & food depends on what boat you’re on. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes not so much.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 I research online. Also, recommendation from friends, family twitter travel folks. The accommodation of our cruise at Bai Tu Long Bay, Vietnam was fantastic with such scenic views. #PTTravel

A2 A night on a small boat was cramped & shared toilet - no shower. I’ve done cruises which are good for having a choice of food, own bathroom. but are also cramped. Have spotted Wales though! There’s also the odd feeling once you get off that you’re still swaying! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 It depends, some boats are basic others can be a little more luxurious. I've tended to the more basic most of the time. #PTTravel
