Hi there, 1st off thanks for this Video ❤ Helped me out alot as i am planning to go for ny birthday. Was there anything that you didn't like? Did you leave & go into the nearest town? & Lastly what camera were you using? 🥰🥰
Hi there thanks for the great comment. Glad you liked the video. We loved it all. There were honestly nothing that we didn’t like. Because we were on all inclusive we started at the resort the whole time to make use of the breakfast, lunch, dinner and great cocktails. Also it wasn’t our first time in Mauritius, so we didn’t feel we needed to go explore again. We mostly use our cellphone’s and then I also use the Insta360 X3 360 camera, which gives you that perspective that someone else is filming it.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I’m sure you do a much better job of editing a video and adding music to it. Please let me know when I can watch your version of it.
I also had a similar problem with lost luggage going to Australia but that was with Lufthansa,luggage due plane being late leaving uk did not make connection in Frankfurt but fortunately it arrived on next flight 24hours later.
Very interesting video,I maybe doing it in September 2024,my Australian sister is doing the journey with her husband and his sister,haven’t seen them since 2018 due to covid so may surprise them .lol
Australia, as you know were a little stricter than the rest of the world. Also we traveled during the start of 2022 when all Covid restrictions weren’t lifted yet. Unfortunately, whether we liked the masks or not, it was a requirement for travelling, so we had to do it in order to be able to go on the trip. Does that answer your question?
Hello, My name is Ga-young Park. I am a broadcasting writer for a broadcasting station called tvN in South Korea. The name of the TV program is 7 billion choice. We are an information entertainment program that shares trends and lifestyles around the world with foreigners, We are preparing a special episode of "Overseas Train Travel". We're going to use some of the videos you posted on our show, I would like to ask if it is possible to use your video after marking the source.
Thank you for sharing your great experience. We will be travelling on this soon. But sorry to hear about your lost luggage. I always had a marvelous experience with Qantas for many years and when I arrived in Dallas Texas late for my luggage, two flight attendants got my luggage out of the carousel waiting for me. Things must have changed.
Hi there. We went in February. We were booked on an all inclusive package which is for drinks and food. The non-motorised water activities were free of charge and you could do it every day if you wanted to. For other water activities you have to pay. All the water activities you see in this video was free of charge (all resort guests could do them). Hope this helps
First of all, on behalf of all Australians, I'm sorry to hear that our national carrier (which is by far the most expensive option to fly domestically) couldn't even do a simple thing like carry your luggage from one airport to the next. That's really embarrassing! I know who I WON'T be flying with. Secondly I was very surprised to learn that you took a standard/local intercity train from Katoomba to Sydney Central when in fact you should have been put back in your platinum cabin (for the remaining TWO HOUR trip to Sydney) because THATS's what you paid for - that is: Perth to Sydney NOT Perth to Katoomba!!! You should have been enjoying more free drinks in the 'Outback Explorer Lounge' or the comfort and privacy of your own cabin as you were making your way down the mountains towards Sydney. For the record, I am a long-time Sydney resident that has taken the Indian Pacific train the opposite way to Perth and has also taken The Ghan train from Darwin to Adelaide, so I am very familiar with Journey Beyond's services (and prices). Considering how much you paid for the trip, Journey Beyond putting you on a regular commuter service even for a fraction of the trip is NOT acceptable! Did the company at least forewarn people that if they took the Blue Mountains/Katoomba 'optional tour' they would be giving up their seat on the Indian Pacific train back to Sydney? It would be interesting to know.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to hold the Indian Pacific in the Blue Mountains for the duration of passengers who choose to do the off-train excursion there (passengers can also choose to stay on the train and continue to Sydney). There are a number of reasons for this but key ones are that the IP requires time to be divided and shunted across up to three platforms at Central Station (because of its length), to be unloaded, to be cleaned, and then to board the eastbound passengers, and to depart Central well before the evening peak because the platforms are needed for other services. The timing is also constrained by limited paths on the Sydney Trains network … so it’s not ideal but the best compromise they can come up with. 🤔
@@FromtheWindowSeat Fair enough. Katoomba's platforms are not long enough to accommodate the length of a train like the IP, nor can the IP block other trains from using the line through Katoomba for hours on end. The only way they could have done it is if they parked the IP at the often-empty train yard sidings in the town of Mt Victoria (around 17km NW of Katoomba) and then used buses to shuttle passengers to Katoomba (for their Blue Mountains excursion) and then return them back to the train at Mt Victoria for the departure to Sydney. Journey Beyond could have even thrown in another optional excursion stopping at the Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath (6km NW of Katoomba, and on the same road one would take to go to Katoomba from Mt Victoria) where passengers could enjoy high tea with a lovely view of the Megalong Valley below. This would've given local bus companies some extra charter business as well as provided more exposure to places like the Hydro Majestic. I guess where there's a will, there's a way. You can understand my disappointment though yeah? It's like flying Business or First Class and then just two hours before you land at your destination, you get booted to Economy.
@@pv032 Yeah - I can understand. I’m pretty sure customers would be told that if they take the off-train excursion they will finish their trip on a commute train. That said, it’s a chartered train and the V sets used are a favourite among rail aficionados. So personally, I would quite enjoy having exclusive access to a V set. 🤓
A skilfully put together presentation. Thank you. We are booked to do this trip next year ( booked out 8 - 12 months in advance) and your video has helped us to understand what we need to do to get the best value out of our (Platinum) trip
We want to go to Mauritius and we are a couple. Were you bothered as a gay couple ? Were the Mauritian people ok with that.?We are little worried. Thanks for your kind reply.
As with any other country that's not pro gay, I would advise to be cautious. We didn't pick up any hatr from the Mauritian people but were also not overly affectionate. We have been there twice and both times were great. We are going again in Sep for a wedding. We also mainly stay at the resort we booked at where everything is very touristy and where I don't think you will have a problem.
@@johan_scheepers Thanks a lot for such a prompt answer. I understand that PDA (public display of affection) is a no no, we as a gay couple are always discreet and careful ( We are Czechs btw ) but people are not stupid and if they see 2 guys ... We are also planning to spend some of the time at hotel however we prefer self-catering (I already booked an apartment in Poste Lafayette called Eastern Blue looks amazing ) which is not a hotel , altogether we want to spend some 24 days in Mauritius since it is such a long way from the Czech Republic. In any case, thanks for the reply again and if you have any tips let me know. BTW if the wedding you mentioned is concerning you and your partner Congratulations and wishing well. Regards Jiri
Same worries here... Travelling with a couple I always worried about asking one bed in a new country.. hey Johan, have you considered doing a Cruise ship? Like the train would be a Lovely journey... Greetings from Argentina 💪🤠
Great video, I hope you eventually had your luggage returned.. And with your visit to Tasmania, you would not have had to ut up with the annoying fly's
