Creator's Key Takeaways

After more than 20 years of cruising, we've learned the best port days are usually the ones we've planned ourselves.

We really thought it was something special. They have some warning signs, too, that sometimes there are some fake monks there.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Safety in a big city โ€” We felt very safe; take usual precautions like not wearing flashy stuff and keeping belongings near.
Navigating steep hills โ€” Be aware of steep terrain; wear good shoes and use escalators where available.
Language barriers โ€” English is widely spoken and on signs due to British history, making it easy for English speakers.
