I know, I hoped you might have an interesting waterfall climbing tale 😊

OK - I was in Upstate New York doing a work exchange and some friends took me to the Finger Lakes which tumble down the hill like waterfalls.
We half climbed and half swam up to the top before repeating the journey down.
A few years later I took my husband there so he could do the same thing. They were having a drought and the waterfalls had dried up!
Waterfalls but not a bit like Niagara!

Have looked online, Finger Lakes looks lovely! Nice having a day out like that properly in nature. What a shame your husband missed them. Niagara would be impressive.
 
No but when we were growing up my brother was in the middle of making some beer and my Dad told him it would ferment better if he put it in the airing cupboard which my Mum didn't think was a good idea. However, my brother followed my Dad's advice after my Dad assured my Mum it would be fine. Well the 2nd night the beer blew and went all over the airing cupboard and leaked out and soaked the hall carpet. My Mum was less than pleased (an understatement!) and had to wash all clothes and sheets and stuff in the airing cupboard and made my Dad and brother clean the airing cupboard and carpet. Needless to say beer making was banned after that!

Have you ever travelled overland through 3 different countries to catch a ferry to get back to the UK?
 
No

Am I allowed to ask "Have you ever travelled overland through 3 different countries to catch a ferry to get back to the UK?" because I'm very interested.... 😊

Yes. About 30 years ago we booked a holiday at short notice to Austria and we could get there by plane but could only get back by train. We took the sleeper train from Austria. In the morning we woke up halfway through Germany and then carried on through Germany and Belgium to Oostend. Caught the ferry to Dover, train to London, Underground to London Waterloo and the final train to Southampton Parkway where we got a taxi home!

Well you did ask!

Sounds a fantastic adventure!
And possibly how we'll all be getting home from our next holidays if the pandemic keeps up....
 
In the garden at my old house as pests yes but not as pets.

Have you ever been to the Caribbean?
 
No but it's on my bucket list. The long flight from the UK puts me off though. 14 hours to Mauritius non stop was long enough!

Have you ever tried a new and strange food?
 
No, have been to Queens Town but didn't fancy it.

No hamsters in Australia? Is there a possibility guinea pigs could be banned? Wow.

Have you done a bungee jump?
 
I hope not! But no, I don't think so. Guinea pigs don't seem to become pests as they simply don't have the instincts to be able to survive for long.
Hamsters aren't the only animals that are illegal here. We can't have ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits (in QLD, unfortunately, I'd love a rabbit), gerbils, ball pythons, certain types of geckos such as leopard geckos, to name a few.

No I haven't, too scary (even just watching scares me) 😅

Have you ever been to Disneyland?
 
Yes I've been to Disneyland in Florida.

Have you ever had to force yourself to do something you didn't want to and then enjoyed doing it?
 
Yes going on rides at legoland lol.

The Australian government thinks our piglets are the softies of the rodent world...

Have you ever travelled far for a particular restaurant or food?
 
Haha 😂 My Daisy is by no means a softie...

If far means 30 minutes, then yes 😅

Have you ever been to Canada?
