1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,720
Nowadays, there are cruises
for everyone.
2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,720
Young, old, singles and families.
3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,240
You can head off on
a weekend mini-cruise,
4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520
or blow the budget on a year-long
round-the-world trip.
5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,760
Whatever floats your boat,
somewhere there's a cruise for you.
6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,000
I'm Jane McDonald, and 18 years ago,
I was a singer on a ship,
7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,200
that was filmed for a BBC series.
8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,360
It changed my life,
but I'm still crazy about cruising.
9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,080
I'm going to show you
how to get the best
10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,640
out of any cruise you ever go on.
11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,880
This time I'm sailing around Canada,
12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,160
on two different cruises -
13
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,480
a cold water cruise around Alaska...
14
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,600
SHE LAUGHS
15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,720
..and a fresh water
cruise around the Great Lakes.
16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,800
It's unbelievable!
17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,040
It's wet and it's windy
and it's fabulous!
18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,480
So come on,
what are you waiting for?
19
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:54,600
All aboard!
20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,280
My first cruise takes place
21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,720
in the far northwest corner
of the United States, in Alaska -
22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
the largest State in America.
23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,480
It's bigger than Texas,
California and Montana put together,
24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,800
that's 81,000 times bigger
than Wales.
25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,440
It's huge, and it's empty but it's
filled with spectacular scenery -
26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,920
towering mountains,
ancient glaciers,
27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,520
deep lakes, and wildlife -
eagles, bears,
28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880
and seas alive with whales.
29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,080
No wonder it's the world's number
one cold water cruise destination,
30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,400
and I can't wait to get there.
31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,560
This is huge,
32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,920
this is what's huge, just look -
this is nature at its finest.
33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520
I'm in Vancouver in Canada,
34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,000
it's the starting point
for most cruises to Alaska,
35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,160
a city that's got the lot.
36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Mountains, water, totem poles...
37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840
It's really not at all
like Wakefield...
38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Well, apart from the fact
it's raining.
39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,840
It's a bit like England, in't it,
because one minute you can be
40
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,800
in your bikini in the back
garden drinking a glass of wine,
41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960
the next minute you've got
central heating on -
42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,200
four seasons in one day.
43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200
First, breakfast.
44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Hi, Hi, how are you today?
I'm good, how are you?
45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Good, thank you.
46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,240
Can I have a cup of tea?
Have you got English Breakfast?
47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,400
We do, we have.
48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,120
You can't beat a good cuppa,
49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,480
but wherever I am, I like to
try some of the local specialities.
50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,520
I mean, I've seen some things
in here... Beltch? The Beltch...
51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,400
No, I am not going to
have that...
52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000
I just thought it was a really funny
name and The Fat Cow...
53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,600
I mean, that's...
54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Very, very tall burger.
I won't have that, either, then.
55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000
I really fancy pancakes this morning
56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,880
because I've heard your pancakes
are brilliant here.
57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,240
We're in the land of maple syrup,
so go for it.
58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Got Caesars, so...
59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,600
really common breakfast drink here.
So it's got Clamato juice, erm...
60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,160
vodka and Worcestershire sauce.
61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400
That sounds like
a bloody Mary to me.
62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,680
"Clamato juice" is tomato juice with
added clams, very Canadian.
63
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,160
OK...
64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,520
Oh, that is spicy...
65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Ooh... I think I'm going to
enjoy being here.
66
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Ah...
67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,640
There you go.
Thank you so much. Enjoy.
68
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,000
Thank you, I will...
69
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Mm. This is so good.
70
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Top tip - come to this place, get
phenomenal pancakes that are huge
71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,440
and always have a Caesar.
72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Well, that was a first and believe
it or not this Alaska cruise
73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,160
is a new departure for me as well.
74
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,680
This is actually
my first-ever cold cruise.
75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,160
I've never, ever booked or even
worked on one that's been cold.
76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,880
When I worked for Celebrity
all them years ago,
77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,840
as soon as it stopped doing
the Caribbean,
78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,840
I used to go home and do the clubs.
79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,880
Because I knew
it were going off to Alaska
80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,720
and yet everybody used to rave and
get excited about going to Alaska.
81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Cruising season to Alaska
is May to September.
82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,400
After that, the weather closes
everything down.
83
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,240
More than a third of Alaska
is inside the Arctic Circle
84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,920
and winter temperatures average
minus 30 degrees centigrade -
85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,800
and that's cold!
86
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,280
And here she is -
the Nieuw Amsterdam,
87
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,560
my home for the next eight days.
88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,320
There are 1,500 cabins,
89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,720
staterooms and suites
for up to 2,100 passengers.
90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800
Wow - that is a beautiful ship.
91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,560
It's got nice lines, great colour.
92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,720
A handsome ship, I would say.
93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Handsome.
94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,640
It looks like it's going to be
nice and classy on there.
95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,040
It's lovely...
96
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400
I'm looking forward
to getting on now - yay!
97
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Alaska has been a cruise destination
for more than 100 years,
98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,280
and this year more than one million
tourists are expected to visit.
99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Hello, there.
Welcome to the Amsterdam.
100
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Thank you, thanks very much.
101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Hello. I hope you have
a wonderful cruise.
102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,200
I'm sure I will.
103
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,720
You're all set to go right that way.
It's exciting, now, innit?
104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,360
It's raining like mad
but it doesn't matter,
105
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,920
cos we're going on us holidays.
106
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,720
Everyone in Canada has been
so polite - it's just lovely.
107
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,320
I'm a bit sad to be leaving...
108
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520
No, I'm not - I'm off to Alaska!
109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,760
OK...
110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
I love getting on a new ship
and finding my cabin.
111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,400
It's always exciting,
112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,600
cos even though you've seen it
in the brochure,
113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,240
you never know what
it's going to like
114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
till you get in there
and check it out.
115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Ah - nice comfy bed.
116
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Look at all this.
117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Isn't that lovely? Thank you.
118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,440
It's 4,500 miles from Wakefield
to the start of my journey.
119
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Setting off from Vancouver,
120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,000
The Nieuw Amsterdam will sail up
the Inside Passage - ooh, Matron! -
121
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,280
to Juneau, the capital of Alaska,
122
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,520
and then on to Skagway -
the furthest point of our journey.
123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,720
We then head into to Glacier Bay
124
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680
and finally south to Ketchikan
and back to Vancouver.
125
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,080
I looked at the ship's website
126
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
and checked out the weather
for this time of year.
127
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,800
It can get down to minus ten.
128
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,720
Let's just say I've brought things
129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
I've never packed
for a cruise before.
130
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,320
Firstly...
131
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600
..balaclava.
132
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,040
You can put it on as a hat.
133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,040
Extreme conditions underwear.
134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240
That'll keep the girls in.
135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Erm, I've got the pants to match.
136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720
They're not the most salubrious,
are they?
137
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Look at the flippin' elastic
on them.
138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Whoo!
139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,040
What else we got?
140
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Emergency blanket.
141
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
I think this is really quite good.
142
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,800
One, if you get lost...
143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,600
..they'll be able to see you,
for a start off.
144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,840
Secondly...
145
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,320
..you're not going
to get hypothermia.
146
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,240
SHE LAUGHS
147
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520
I'm full of great tips for cruising!
148
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Coming up - I take a helicopter...
149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Oh, wow! Look at that!
150
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,160
..to go sledding...
151
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,680
..I'm overwhelmed by puppy love.
152
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,160
Oh, look...
Oh, I'm getting really clucky.
153
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,600
..and I try my hand at cooking,
154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440
although our executive chef
has nothing to worry about.
155
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,640
It's a little bit more than what I
wanted, actually, but... Whoops!
156
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:45,830
I'm on a cruising
adventure around Canada,
157
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:47,310
and my first leg of the trip
158
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:50,270
is round the magnificent snow-capped
peaks of Alaska.
159
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:53,350
Good morning.
Hello. How did you sleep?
160
00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:57,590
Really well, actually.
I'll sleep like a log on here.
161
00:07:57,590 --> 00:07:59,110
I'm on my way to Alaska.
162
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:00,870
The scenery is breathtaking
163
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:03,430
and I'm wondering
why I never did this before.
164
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:06,430
The sun was coming through the
window at ten past six this morning.
165
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:08,830
It was when I saw that
and I thought, whoa!
166
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:11,310
So it was like the sun was knocking
on the door going,
167
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:14,150
"Come on!
You're in Alaska, come on!"
168
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:19,750
From Vancouver, we are sailing north
up the Inside Passage
169
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:22,350
to our first stop -
Juneau, capital of Alaska.
170
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:25,990
Juneau is unique in the USA,
171
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:29,750
it is the only State capital with
no roads into or out of it -
172
00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:32,030
it's only accessible by air or sea,
173
00:08:32,030 --> 00:08:34,550
and it sits at the foot of
the Mendenhall glacier.
174
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:35,990
At this time of year,
175
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:39,070
the temperature can be anything
between three and ten degrees.
176
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:42,110
I've got my vest on,
I've got a shirt on,
177
00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:45,230
I've got a jumper on and erm...
178
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:46,950
I've got my extreme underwear, look.
179
00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:49,710
I don't usually show people
my pants.
180
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:51,390
Trouble is, it's...
181
00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:54,630
it's got quite tight elastic,
so it's...
182
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:56,790
it's given me a bit of a line there.
183
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:58,590
I'm used to no VPL.
184
00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:00,550
But...but the elastic's pretty...
185
00:09:00,550 --> 00:09:03,550
I think that's the most extreme
thing on it, actually,
186
00:09:03,550 --> 00:09:05,510
is the elastic
in the top of the legs!
187
00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:13,270
Excursions are
a big part of cruising.
188
00:09:13,270 --> 00:09:15,870
They are a great chance
to get off the ship and go and see
189
00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:17,990
and do something
you normally never would.
190
00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:21,430
Thank you very much,
see you later...
191
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:23,030
See you later.
192
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:24,910
Dog sledding, for instance.
193
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:28,950
I've seen it in the movies
and never dreamed I could do it -
194
00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:32,150
but today, I am.
I'm going dog sledding!
195
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:36,550
I've got no idea what to expect,
but now I'm here and I'm doing it,
196
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:39,630
I'm really looking forward to it -
I've got enough layers on now.
197
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:42,990
I feel like a Battenberg under here
but it's, erm...
198
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:44,390
Yeah, it's going to be great -
199
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:46,350
this is summat that don't happen
every day.
200
00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:49,590
Thank you.
201
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:56,270
One thing you can't help noticing
when you disembark
202
00:09:56,270 --> 00:09:59,590
is that most ports are filled with
people trying to entice you
203
00:09:59,590 --> 00:10:02,870
on all sorts of day trips,
photo ops and excursions.
204
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,110
I always try and do
at least one thing
205
00:10:06,110 --> 00:10:10,070
away from the touristy bits, and
I'm really excited about this trip.
206
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:11,710
SHE LAUGHS
207
00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:15,670
It's like I'm A Celebrity
Get Me Out Of Here, isn't it?
208
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:19,190
Going on this dog sledding excursion
is a bit of an adventure.
209
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:22,990
I've got to get a helicopter
up to the Mendenhall Glacier
210
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:24,110
and the dog camp.
211
00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:25,630
I can't say I'm not really nervous -
212
00:10:25,630 --> 00:10:29,550
cos I am -
but it looks so cool to do!
213
00:10:29,550 --> 00:10:31,790
Hey-hey!
214
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:33,150
Right, I'm ready.
215
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:37,950
It's a 15-minute flight
up to the glacier.
216
00:10:37,950 --> 00:10:41,230
I've never seen one before
and I'm not sure what to expect.
217
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:44,390
SHE SQUEALS
218
00:10:46,030 --> 00:10:48,830
Oh, my God. We're in cloud, now.
We're in cloud.
219
00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:56,070
It's the best thing ever.
It's brilliant.
220
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:11,950
Oh, wow, look at this!
221
00:11:11,950 --> 00:11:13,030
Ooh!
222
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:18,350
This icefield,
which covers 1,500 square miles,
223
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:21,390
was first formed
over 3,000 years ago.
224
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:25,270
It is invaluable to
scientists studying climate change.
225
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:27,510
By drilling into it,
they can discover
226
00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:31,070
how weather patterns have evolved
over thousands of years.
227
00:11:31,070 --> 00:11:34,510
This cruise has just turned into one
of the best things I have ever done.
228
00:11:34,510 --> 00:11:35,750
Very exciting.
229
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:40,270
I am a very lucky singer from
Wakefield. That's all I can say.
230
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:41,310
Wow.
231
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:46,270
Every day, 12 helicopters
ferry a maximum of 200 people
232
00:11:46,270 --> 00:11:48,550
up to the glacier for dog sledding
233
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:51,590
or just the chance to walk here
234
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:54,070
and discover the majesty
of these mountains.
235
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:57,870
Ooh!
236
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:06,190
Wow - just look at this,
just look at this.
237
00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:10,950
I can't tell you and I have been
really rather blase all day,
238
00:12:10,950 --> 00:12:14,430
thinking, "Yeah, I'm going dog
sledding or whatever it is, yeah."
239
00:12:14,430 --> 00:12:16,270
And then I saw the helicopters
coming in,
240
00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:19,350
and I swear I nearly wet my pants,
I nearly did.
241
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:22,070
It's just so exciting!
242
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:24,390
It's brilliant.
243
00:12:24,390 --> 00:12:25,470
BARKING
244
00:12:25,470 --> 00:12:27,830
People have been using dogs
to pull sleds
245
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:30,310
since around the time
the glacier formed.
246
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:33,750
Nowadays, skidoos
are faster and easier to keep,
247
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:36,870
so most dog camps like this
are for tourists like me
248
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:39,070
and to keep the tradition alive.
249
00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:42,590
This camp is 3,300 feet up
on the glacier.
250
00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:44,190
The handlers and their dogs -
251
00:12:44,190 --> 00:12:48,230
huskies, malamutes and some cross
breeds - live and work up here
252
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:51,190
until winter starts
in September or October.
253
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:53,910
It's not just
the working dogs who are here.
254
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:55,630
There are puppies as well.
255
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:56,950
Oh, wow.
256
00:12:56,950 --> 00:12:58,550
'And Matt, my dog team owner,
257
00:12:58,550 --> 00:13:00,750
'is going to introduce me
to one of them.'
258
00:13:00,750 --> 00:13:02,790
Oh, wow. Who's this?
259
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:06,510
This is Eleanor. Oh, hello. You hold
her like a baby, is that right?
260
00:13:06,510 --> 00:13:07,590
Hello, babes.
261
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:09,470
Eleanor. Eleanor.
262
00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:12,590
They're only 12 weeks old.
263
00:13:12,590 --> 00:13:14,070
When will her training start?
264
00:13:14,070 --> 00:13:15,950
We usually don't hook them up
to the sled
265
00:13:15,950 --> 00:13:17,790
until they're at least
eight months old.
266
00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:20,430
Yeah. Oh, God,
she's so gorgeous, Matt.
267
00:13:20,430 --> 00:13:22,150
We really only breed
for gorgeous looks.
268
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:24,470
That's the only thing I'm
concerned about. Is that right?
269
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:25,790
Do that personally as well?
270
00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:27,150
They just all look so pretty.
271
00:13:27,150 --> 00:13:29,310
Doesn't matter what they look like.
272
00:13:29,310 --> 00:13:32,150
Are you married? No. No.
273
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:35,550
To my dogs, I am! How many dogs
have you got? I have 42.
274
00:13:35,550 --> 00:13:37,470
You've got 42 dogs?
275
00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:39,110
I think that's why I am single.
276
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:41,430
No woman wants to live with a man
with 42 dogs.
277
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:43,350
Erm, no woman could compete
278
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:45,590
with 42 dogs, let's be honest.
279
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:47,750
Oh, Eleanor. I know...
280
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:49,990
Hey! Oh!
281
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:51,390
SHE LAUGHS
282
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:53,270
Off you go.
283
00:13:53,270 --> 00:13:56,470
Sleds are pulled by
teams of up to 16 dogs.
284
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:59,710
The dogs are paired to work together
by personality type.
285
00:13:59,710 --> 00:14:03,190
The older, stronger and more
experienced dogs are at the front
286
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:06,150
with the younger ones
behind watching and learning.
287
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:08,550
When we approach
an option in the trail,
288
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:09,870
I'll just talk to the lead dogs
289
00:14:09,870 --> 00:14:11,550
and tell them which way
I want them to go.
290
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:13,310
They know that? Yeah.
291
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:15,030
Wow. Yeah, I speak dog language.
292
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:21,630
H-A-W means go to your left and the
letters G-E-E mean go to the right.
293
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:22,870
There you go. All right.
294
00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:25,830
Gee! To the right, there you go.
295
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:31,870
So all of these dogs will eventually
one day run in the Iditarod which is
296
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:33,350
a world famous dog sled race. Yeah.
297
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:36,070
And that's what we train for
specifically, just for that race.
298
00:14:39,270 --> 00:14:43,430
The Iditarod course is
1,049 miles long...
299
00:14:44,630 --> 00:14:47,230
..and Matt has entered seven times.
300
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:50,710
His best effort was in 2014,
when he was placed 15th.
301
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:56,350
It took him 9 days, 16 hours,
42 minutes and 30 seconds.
302
00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:03,510
Ooh, very good, you guys.
303
00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:05,950
Oh, wow.
304
00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:08,150
Well, how was your ride?
Oh, I loved it.
305
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:11,190
You liked it? Absolutely loved it.
Thank you so much.
306
00:15:13,550 --> 00:15:16,670
That was one of the most
exhilarating things I've ever done,
307
00:15:16,670 --> 00:15:20,270
but I tell you what - being in
the clean, crisp mountain air,
308
00:15:20,270 --> 00:15:23,230
sitting down, being pulled around
on a dog sled,
309
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:26,670
and getting a helicopter there
and back was completely exhausting.
310
00:15:28,390 --> 00:15:33,870
Ah, look - more little dogs
and puppies.
311
00:15:33,870 --> 00:15:37,430
I'm going to have to move you
cos I just need to...
312
00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:40,430
I need to just...
I need to get rid of that...
313
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:46,510
I'm cold and I'm tired,
but otherwise I'm fine.
314
00:15:58,430 --> 00:16:01,950
From Juneau,
we steam 102 miles overnight,
315
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:04,230
north up the Inside Passage
to Skagway.
316
00:16:05,790 --> 00:16:08,710
It was once the gold rush capital of
the Klondike,
317
00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:10,710
but now it's here to entertain
318
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:14,870
the almost 800,000 cruise ship
passengers who visit annually.
319
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:20,790
Having worked on the ships
as a singer for eight years,
320
00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:24,270
I discovered
cruising's best kept secret.
321
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:26,950
Staying on board
when everyone else gets off.
322
00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:28,870
You have the ship to yourself,
323
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:32,470
all the staff are still here and
places like the spa and the salons
324
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:33,550
are much less busy.
325
00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:35,550
Hello. How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
326
00:16:35,550 --> 00:16:38,030
I'm good. My name is Tamara,
I'm doing your treatment today.
327
00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:40,310
Are you ready? Yes, I am.
Well, please, come on through.
328
00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:45,390
While most of the 2,000
other passengers head into Skagway
329
00:16:45,390 --> 00:16:48,830
for a day on shore, I'm going to put
my feet in Tamara's hands.
330
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:50,990
Thank you. How do you like
your water to be?
331
00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:53,950
Um...quite hot.
332
00:16:53,950 --> 00:16:55,470
Oh, that's perfect.
333
00:16:56,630 --> 00:16:58,470
Just wake me up
when you've finished.
334
00:16:58,470 --> 00:17:01,430
Just think, instead of having
my feet massaged and pampered,
335
00:17:01,430 --> 00:17:03,630
I could be pounding the pavements
window shopping
336
00:17:03,630 --> 00:17:05,270
for things I don't want.
337
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:07,230
Now here's the Tanzanite.
338
00:17:07,230 --> 00:17:09,590
I'm so glad I'm here instead.
339
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:12,670
I'm enjoying watching
340
00:17:12,670 --> 00:17:15,350
planes, helicopters,
341
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:19,870
the clouds on the mountains
and having a spa treatment.
342
00:17:19,870 --> 00:17:20,950
SHE LAUGHS
343
00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:25,190
I wonder what
everyone ashore is doing now?
344
00:17:25,190 --> 00:17:28,070
Oh, I dunno - probably
panning for gold somewhere.
345
00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:30,390
That would be too much hard work
for me today.
346
00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:36,990
And now I'm going to do something
even more relaxing -
347
00:17:36,990 --> 00:17:38,350
it's time for a massage.
348
00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:41,190
Yup, that's what I'm going to do.
349
00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:44,310
What is that? Bamboo.
It's bamboo? Yeah.
350
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:46,510
Oh.
351
00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:50,470
Bamboo's been used in Chinese
and Japanese treatments for years,
352
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:54,230
but using it like hot stones
for a massage is quite a new thing.
353
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:56,910
JANE GROANS
354
00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:59,030
All right, Jane? Yeah!
355
00:18:02,350 --> 00:18:05,670
Ladies and gentlemen
of the Red Onion saloon,
356
00:18:05,670 --> 00:18:07,870
my name is Madam Rosie Peaks.
357
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:11,230
This gorgeous girl over here
is Madam Northern Lights...
358
00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:15,190
One thing I know I'm missing is the
melodrama at the Red Onion saloon.
359
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:18,190
It wasn't just the men who rushed to
Skagway looking for gold -
360
00:18:18,190 --> 00:18:22,110
bars, bordellos and brothels all
made a mint and they still are.
361
00:18:22,110 --> 00:18:23,830
Well, the bars.
362
00:18:24,910 --> 00:18:29,350
Everyone else is busy being a
tourist and here am I hard at work
363
00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:31,350
lying on this heated stone bed.
364
00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:36,270
Ooh. It's hard work, you know,
looking good all the time.
365
00:18:36,270 --> 00:18:37,830
It's really hard work.
366
00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:42,190
You just think I turn out every day
looking as glamorous as I do?
367
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:45,110
It's a full-time job,
all this maintenance.
368
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:48,110
I've been manicured,
pedicured, and bambooed,
369
00:18:48,110 --> 00:18:50,070
and now I think it's time for
a drink.
370
00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:53,630
Hello. Good afternoon.
Welcome to our Cabana Club.
371
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:55,990
Thank you very much.
372
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:58,750
Oh, my God -
I'm in a James Bond movie!
373
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,510
I mean, look, look at that!
374
00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:02,550
There's snow-capped mountains,
375
00:19:02,550 --> 00:19:06,030
there's all that beautiful view
and the sun's out,
376
00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:08,030
and I've got a cabana.
377
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:10,950
Edison, this is very posh up here.
378
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:14,470
Yeah, it is the most perfect spot
in the ship, you know.
379
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:16,950
So is this just for the rich people?
380
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:18,470
No, it's for everybody.
381
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:20,190
Is it? Yeah.
382
00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:22,110
Oh...
383
00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:24,430
Do you recommend this one?
One of the highest, erm...
384
00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:25,630
highly recommended wines.
385
00:19:25,630 --> 00:19:28,030
Really? Yes, California Cabernet.
386
00:19:35,150 --> 00:19:37,110
That is so good.
387
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:40,030
This is mine.
388
00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:43,790
And now It's full steam ahead
to our next destination,
389
00:19:43,790 --> 00:19:45,150
Glacier Bay.
390
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:51,270
Keeping a ship like this -
well, shipshape -
391
00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:55,030
takes an army of staff,
and at any hour of the day or night,
392
00:19:55,030 --> 00:19:58,230
something is being polished,
brushed or swept.
393
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:59,910
They think of everything here.
394
00:19:59,910 --> 00:20:03,150
It's easy to forget what day it is,
so the mats in all the lifts
395
00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:04,790
are changed at midnight.
396
00:20:04,790 --> 00:20:06,510
So thoughtful.
397
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:08,110
Morning.
398
00:20:09,630 --> 00:20:12,550
Hey, how are you doing?
399
00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:15,030
Good morning! Good morning,
good morning, good morning!
400
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:17,750
Good morning, good morning,
good morning!
401
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:20,790
Yeah, I'll have a bit of
scrambled egg.
402
00:20:20,790 --> 00:20:23,190
SHE WHOOPS
403
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:25,550
Yeah, I'll have a bit of sausage,
yeah.
404
00:20:25,550 --> 00:20:27,710
Hi, there.
405
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:29,670
Look, there's an iceberg.
406
00:20:29,670 --> 00:20:33,070
I never thought I'd get that excited
about seeing a lump of ice!
407
00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:38,470
This food is nothing like what I was
used to when I worked on the ships.
408
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:41,470
I never ate this well
when I were crew.
409
00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:43,830
You were lucky if you got
a cheese sandwich,
410
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:45,630
but full English Breakfast
411
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:49,110
when you've been at sea
for a long time as a crew member,
412
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:52,910
is like a real reminder of home
and it sounds pathetic,
413
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:56,430
but that little taste of home
just keeps you going.
414
00:20:56,430 --> 00:21:00,470
The food on board any ship is really
important and as cruise holidays get
415
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:03,870
more and more popular, the ships
have to come up with increasingly
416
00:21:03,870 --> 00:21:06,350
inventive ways of
enticing passengers.
417
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:08,230
So stick this back on.
418
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:10,470
Our ship has targeted
the foodie market
419
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:12,990
and have their own
TV studio kitchen
420
00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:16,070
where you can release
your inner Delia, Nigella,
421
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:18,710
or Gordon and have the whole thing
filmed.
422
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:22,950
Right. OK, so, I'm going to show you
a few little bits...
423
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:26,310
So we're going to start with the
fish and what I want you to do is...
424
00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:29,030
just take a piece off...
425
00:21:29,030 --> 00:21:32,430
Just mind your fingers. I've just
had my nails done! I can see.
426
00:21:32,430 --> 00:21:34,390
HE CHUCKLES
427
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:37,150
Executive chef Colin thinks
he's going to get me from no stars
428
00:21:37,150 --> 00:21:38,670
to Michelin stars in 20 minutes -
429
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:40,190
he'll be lucky.
430
00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:42,350
I'm just not good in a kitchen.
431
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:43,990
I'm not very good at chopping
432
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:46,230
because me nails always
get in the way.
433
00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:47,990
Em, why are you
holding a knife, Jane?
434
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:49,430
Just in case.
435
00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:54,510
I'm going to be making a pan-fried
halibut with pea risotto...perhaps.
436
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:55,990
Can you use any fish?
437
00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:59,110
Well, we're using halibut now
because we're in Alaska
438
00:21:59,110 --> 00:22:01,310
and Alaska's famous for halibut.
439
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:04,190
We get this fresh
in one of the ports.
440
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:06,790
We're going to make the risotto
while the fish is cooking.
441
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:08,190
Does smell good.
442
00:22:08,190 --> 00:22:10,830
It's good. We got some chicken stock
there that we made earlier.
443
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,310
Is it strained?
Yeah, it's strained. Very good.
444
00:22:15,150 --> 00:22:18,390
But... A little bit more than what
I wanted, actually, but...
445
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:19,750
'Whoops!'
446
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:23,230
To go in the risotto,
we're going to chop some asparagus.
447
00:22:23,230 --> 00:22:24,830
OK. Right.
448
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:25,950
Yeah.
449
00:22:27,030 --> 00:22:29,990
Shall I just stick it in? No.
450
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:32,190
OK. It's OK, it's now a tomato and
asparagus risotto.
451
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:34,830
It's fine. Oh, I'm sorry about that.
It works, it works.
452
00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:37,830
Every time I make a mistake,
Colin just changes the recipe -
453
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:39,830
that's my kind of chef.
454
00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:42,030
Oh, I've seen that on MasterChef.
455
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:45,350
Just because you don't cook,
shouldn't cook, wouldn't cook...
456
00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:46,470
doesn't cook...
457
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:48,830
doesn't mean that
you can't on a ship.
458
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:50,110
Looks very Asian.
459
00:22:50,110 --> 00:22:52,310
It's nice. Yeah. You've done well.
460
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:55,310
Good job. Thank you.
461
00:22:58,150 --> 00:23:00,470
That's really good.
It's good, eh? Mm!
462
00:23:01,630 --> 00:23:05,030
Coming up, the show-stopping
highlight of the cruise...
463
00:23:05,030 --> 00:23:07,310
That's a view you don't see
every day, isn't it?!
464
00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:11,830
..and I discover the multi-talented
lumberjacks of Ketchikan.
465
00:23:12,910 --> 00:23:16,510
THEY CHEER
466
00:23:25,610 --> 00:23:30,890
I'm on a cold water cruise around
Alaska in North America and Canada,
467
00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:33,650
and before we get to
one of our star attractions...
468
00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:37,010
Oh...
469
00:23:37,010 --> 00:23:39,330
I know this feeling well.
470
00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:40,650
This is the show lounge...
471
00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:44,890
..of which I have spent
eight years -
472
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:47,890
not this particular one -
473
00:23:47,890 --> 00:23:50,330
but many, many years
474
00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:52,650
..as a ship performer.
475
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:54,890
It's a lovely feeling
for me to come in here
476
00:23:54,890 --> 00:24:00,610
and watch the young cast like I used
to do 20 years ago - how exciting.
477
00:24:00,610 --> 00:24:02,490
Come on, let's go and meet
some of them.
478
00:24:02,490 --> 00:24:06,090
All the performers need to be
able to sing and dance.
479
00:24:06,090 --> 00:24:08,890
The standard's really high
and it is great training
480
00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:10,890
for a life in showbiz!
481
00:24:11,930 --> 00:24:14,610
Hello? Hi?
482
00:24:14,610 --> 00:24:18,090
This morning, it's the final
rehearsals for the show tonight.
483
00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:20,410
So tell us about the shows.
Are the shows great?
484
00:24:20,410 --> 00:24:22,090
Yeah. I do, I really do enjoy them.
485
00:24:22,090 --> 00:24:26,090
The music is, erm, much more updated
than some shows that I've seen,
486
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:28,850
so I really enjoy that.
So it's quite modern? Yes.
487
00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:30,850
Ooh... But then there's
also some good,
488
00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:32,530
like, Whitney Houston hits, and...
489
00:24:32,530 --> 00:24:34,730
You don't think that
Whitney Houston's modern?
490
00:24:34,730 --> 00:24:38,690
She would be considered
one of the older... artists.
491
00:24:38,690 --> 00:24:39,770
Oh, my God!
492
00:24:40,970 --> 00:24:44,890
Do you get nervous at all
before the shows? Sometimes...
493
00:24:44,890 --> 00:24:48,650
A little bit. Yeah? You see,
we were totally unprofessional
494
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:50,050
20 years ago.
495
00:24:50,050 --> 00:24:54,610
We used to have music going but then
a quick brandy just to get us down.
496
00:24:54,610 --> 00:24:55,770
THEY LAUGH
497
00:24:55,770 --> 00:24:57,770
Which, of course,
is so unprofessional.
498
00:24:57,770 --> 00:25:00,290
No, take no notice
of what I just said...
499
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:03,610
Well, listen - good luck and break
a leg. Sorry, break a leg.
500
00:25:03,610 --> 00:25:04,810
I know.
501
00:25:04,810 --> 00:25:06,610
And thank you for letting me in
to see you all.
502
00:25:06,610 --> 00:25:08,970
Thank you. Thank you so much.
503
00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:10,650
Bye. Bye. Bye.
504
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:16,690
I didn't really drink that much...
505
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:23,090
Yeah, we did. But we had
a good time, you know.
506
00:25:24,450 --> 00:25:28,090
I've noticed that the youngsters
of today are very clean-living,
507
00:25:28,090 --> 00:25:29,730
they're all very health-conscious.
508
00:25:29,730 --> 00:25:31,970
You know? We were just...
509
00:25:31,970 --> 00:25:33,970
just not!
510
00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:35,610
LAUGHS
511
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:37,290
We were shocking.
512
00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:42,170
I love being backstage,
but we've arrived in Glacier Bay
513
00:25:42,170 --> 00:25:44,610
and the real show-stopper
is outside.
514
00:25:50,130 --> 00:25:52,090
Despite their size and might,
515
00:25:52,090 --> 00:25:55,130
glaciers are fragile things
and to protect them
516
00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:56,450
and their environment,
517
00:25:56,450 --> 00:26:00,210
only two cruise liners a day
are allowed in here.
518
00:26:03,090 --> 00:26:06,330
Good grief! That's a view you
don't see every day, innit?
519
00:26:06,330 --> 00:26:08,530
This is the Margery Glacier.
520
00:26:08,530 --> 00:26:12,730
It's 350 feet tall and stretches
back 21 miles into the mountains
521
00:26:12,730 --> 00:26:14,050
in the distance.
522
00:26:15,490 --> 00:26:18,010
Just look at that,
it's just breathtaking.
523
00:26:19,690 --> 00:26:21,970
It's like being in Game Of Thrones,
innit?
524
00:26:21,970 --> 00:26:23,530
RUMBLE
525
00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:25,170
Oh, I heard that, then!
526
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:28,330
WOMAN: It was like breaking ice.
It was, wasn't it?
527
00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:30,810
The noises were
the icebergs creaking
528
00:26:30,810 --> 00:26:35,530
and a lot of them fall, so that's
what the big thunder claps were.
529
00:26:35,530 --> 00:26:36,610
Ooh.
530
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:39,890
When you see something as grand as
this and nature's force,
531
00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:44,730
you realise how insignificant
you are, compared to the...
532
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:47,690
the wonderment of what
you're surrounded by.
533
00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:51,050
This is huge.
This is what's huge, look.
534
00:26:51,050 --> 00:26:52,890
This is nature at its finest.
535
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:56,490
This glacier is awesome,
536
00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:59,570
and that really is the only word
to do it justice.
537
00:27:03,770 --> 00:27:06,570
Good morning. Good morning.
538
00:27:06,570 --> 00:27:09,370
Would you like to try some
Dutch pea soup? I'd love some.
539
00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:12,090
It's a Holland America Line
tradition. Mm.
540
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:15,610
We typically make it the day before
and let it stand overnight.
541
00:27:15,610 --> 00:27:17,170
Oh, that's...
542
00:27:17,170 --> 00:27:19,050
They always say the best pea soup
is a soup
543
00:27:19,050 --> 00:27:20,850
where you can stick the spoon
in upright
544
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:22,090
and it will stay like that.
545
00:27:22,090 --> 00:27:24,850
It's like mushy peas. We put this
on fish and chips at home,
546
00:27:24,850 --> 00:27:26,730
it's really nice.
Glad you're enjoying it.
547
00:27:26,730 --> 00:27:29,610
Yes, I am. Enjoy the views.
Thank you.
548
00:27:29,610 --> 00:27:31,250
This is...
549
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:33,250
such an experience.
550
00:27:33,250 --> 00:27:36,210
This is definitely not
my typical cruise holiday
551
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:40,890
and I'm mad with myself for
missing out on such great trips.
552
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:44,330
I want experiences
and adventures in life,
553
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,610
and this has been the start.
554
00:27:46,610 --> 00:27:48,090
Been fantastic.
555
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:56,490
We've travelled 1,400 miles so far
and are now heading to Ketchikan
556
00:27:56,490 --> 00:27:58,690
and I'm quite excited because
I've heard
557
00:27:58,690 --> 00:28:01,250
it's the lumberjack capital
of Alaska.
558
00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:05,890
There's wildlife everywhere,
559
00:28:05,890 --> 00:28:08,770
but you generally have to look
quite hard to see it.
560
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:09,930
Not today.
561
00:28:14,930 --> 00:28:16,370
The eagle was a real show-off.
562
00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:18,570
It went round and it just went,
"Hello, I'm here."
563
00:28:18,570 --> 00:28:20,770
And everybody got the cameras,
"Oh, missed it."
564
00:28:20,770 --> 00:28:22,290
And it thought,
"No, you haven't."
565
00:28:22,290 --> 00:28:25,290
Went round the ship and came back
and went "W-a-a-a!"
566
00:28:25,290 --> 00:28:26,730
SHE LAUGHS
567
00:28:29,090 --> 00:28:32,090
Ketchikan used to be the heart of
the Alaskan timber trade,
568
00:28:32,090 --> 00:28:35,250
but nowadays it's biggest
money-spinner is tourism
569
00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:37,930
and catering for cruise passengers,
just like me.
570
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:41,730
Every passenger has got
a certain budget,
571
00:28:41,730 --> 00:28:44,050
every passenger has got
a certain amount of money
572
00:28:44,050 --> 00:28:45,250
that they want to spend.
573
00:28:45,250 --> 00:28:46,570
And they will spend it,
574
00:28:46,570 --> 00:28:49,290
and if you can get them
into your shop, that's it.
575
00:28:49,290 --> 00:28:51,450
Have you got money to spend, Jane?
Nothing.
576
00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:53,490
Tight, I think, is the word. Tight.
577
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:55,050
SHE LAUGHS
578
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:57,770
Shall we go here?
579
00:29:00,690 --> 00:29:03,530
Oh, look at these...
580
00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:06,850
Baby lumberjacks.
581
00:29:07,890 --> 00:29:09,690
Is this the look of the land here?
582
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:11,970
Yes, this is the look of our land.
Yeah?
583
00:29:13,890 --> 00:29:17,170
I generally try to avoid
the really touristy things
584
00:29:17,170 --> 00:29:19,170
because they can be
a complete rip-off...
585
00:29:19,170 --> 00:29:20,250
but a lumberjack show?
586
00:29:21,370 --> 00:29:24,250
Let's just say I didn't take
too much persuading.
587
00:29:25,810 --> 00:29:27,770
One, two, go...
588
00:29:30,930 --> 00:29:34,050
I never thought I'd be interested
in wood or timber -
589
00:29:34,050 --> 00:29:35,290
how wrong could I be?
590
00:29:41,490 --> 00:29:44,290
These guys are all
proper working lumberjacks,
591
00:29:44,290 --> 00:29:46,570
as well as great entertainers.
592
00:29:48,610 --> 00:29:50,330
CHEERING
593
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:54,250
And this show is based on things
they really do when they're...
594
00:29:54,250 --> 00:29:55,690
well, lumberjacking.
595
00:29:56,930 --> 00:29:58,530
Oh!
596
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:01,450
Oh, my God. He just fell and he...
597
00:30:01,450 --> 00:30:03,410
astride...
598
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:05,690
Bang! Right on his...nuts.
599
00:30:05,690 --> 00:30:08,370
..a logger's worst nightmare.
How does it feel?
600
00:30:08,370 --> 00:30:11,090
It's not good,
there's a huge crack.
601
00:30:11,090 --> 00:30:13,530
LAUGHTER
602
00:30:13,530 --> 00:30:14,610
Good fun.
603
00:30:14,610 --> 00:30:16,170
I enjoyed that.
604
00:30:18,090 --> 00:30:19,410
This is a family business,
605
00:30:19,410 --> 00:30:22,370
and Cassandra has just got married
to one of the lumberjacks.
606
00:30:22,370 --> 00:30:23,690
Which one's yours, then?
607
00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:26,050
Um... He is on the far left
in the silver hat...
608
00:30:26,050 --> 00:30:27,290
I know. Yeah.
609
00:30:27,290 --> 00:30:29,250
It's Thomas. Damn!
610
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:31,450
Those biceps could be
a little bigger,
611
00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:33,250
but we won't hold that against him.
612
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:35,450
He looks fine to me.
He is so funny!
613
00:30:35,450 --> 00:30:37,770
What is the attraction
of a lumberjack?
614
00:30:37,770 --> 00:30:40,890
I think it's the fact that
you get the athletic side
615
00:30:40,890 --> 00:30:42,330
of someone who's in great shape,
616
00:30:42,330 --> 00:30:45,290
gets out there and does
a dangerous job every day...
617
00:30:45,290 --> 00:30:48,770
Erm, they're always fun,
they're always really good-looking.
618
00:30:48,770 --> 00:30:50,970
Just like an all-round man's man,
in my opinion.
619
00:30:50,970 --> 00:30:54,170
Yeah, yeah, and you married one,
didn't you? I did.
620
00:30:54,170 --> 00:30:56,850
Yeah. My mistake.
621
00:30:56,850 --> 00:30:59,570
Hello, boys. That was absolutely
great. Thank you very much.
622
00:30:59,570 --> 00:31:02,370
Thanks. I'm Jane. I'm Ray. Really
nice to meet you. How are you doing?
623
00:31:02,370 --> 00:31:04,370
Nice to meet you. Hi, Thomas,
nice to meet you too.
624
00:31:04,370 --> 00:31:06,610
Hi, Junior. Really nice to meet you.
625
00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:09,090
How's the erm...? Oh, you know
the water's cold, so, erm...
626
00:31:09,090 --> 00:31:11,490
Yeah... Wedding tackle -
not great.
627
00:31:11,490 --> 00:31:13,010
Great to meet you.
628
00:31:13,010 --> 00:31:15,490
Hi. So you're all athletes
and everything, aren't you?
629
00:31:15,490 --> 00:31:18,250
Yeah, we all keep track
of when we win, when we lose
630
00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:20,930
what events we're winning and losing
and everything...
631
00:31:20,930 --> 00:31:23,930
Nobody likes to lose. No. So
we're out here, we're trying, yeah.
632
00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:25,570
So you how do you keep so fit, then?
633
00:31:25,570 --> 00:31:27,730
Do you have a routine
or a special diet?
634
00:31:27,730 --> 00:31:29,410
We're doing this four times a day.
635
00:31:29,410 --> 00:31:32,410
That will keep you fit. And you just
got married to Cassandra.
636
00:31:32,410 --> 00:31:35,810
I did, yes. And the broken hearts -
there's people with broken hearts...
637
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:37,490
I am so sorry.
..all over the nation...
638
00:31:37,490 --> 00:31:39,850
Are you all married? No.
639
00:31:39,850 --> 00:31:42,650
So, hey, girls and boys,
he's still single.
640
00:31:42,650 --> 00:31:46,050
Still some lumberjacks
just up for grabs.
641
00:31:46,050 --> 00:31:48,050
Once you lumberjack,
you never lumber back.
642
00:31:48,050 --> 00:31:50,450
God, you're real, sort of, men,
aren't you?
643
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:53,290
LUMBERJACKS: Yeah!
644
00:31:53,290 --> 00:31:55,170
I want to be her.
645
00:31:55,170 --> 00:31:57,090
Left hand on top, right hand
on the bottom...
646
00:31:57,090 --> 00:31:59,170
Anything to stay a little longer,
647
00:31:59,170 --> 00:32:01,410
so I agreed to see if
I had what it took.
648
00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:09,050
It's almost like taking a step up.
649
00:32:09,050 --> 00:32:11,810
Hey!
SHE LAUGHS
650
00:32:11,810 --> 00:32:17,210
That's how it works! There you go.
Now pull that rope up... Right.
651
00:32:17,210 --> 00:32:18,690
THEY CHEER
652
00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:24,370
Careful. You're trying to use
that rope
653
00:32:24,370 --> 00:32:25,930
to pull yourself close to the tree.
654
00:32:27,050 --> 00:32:28,690
CHEERING
655
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:31,890
CHEERING
There you go.
656
00:32:34,610 --> 00:32:36,010
THEY CHEER
657
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:40,010
SHE WHOOPS
658
00:32:41,970 --> 00:32:44,450
SHE SQUEALS
659
00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:46,170
That's not for me,
it's a bit too manly.
660
00:32:46,170 --> 00:32:47,890
HORN BLARES
Oh, morning.
661
00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:55,930
It's almost time to say goodbye
662
00:32:55,930 --> 00:32:58,490
to this beautiful scenery
and landscape.
663
00:32:58,490 --> 00:33:01,330
This has been so much more
interesting than I expected,
664
00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:03,130
but there's still one more party.
665
00:33:05,130 --> 00:33:06,210
INDISTINCT CHATTER
666
00:33:06,210 --> 00:33:09,330
# Once a jolly swagman
sitting by the billabong
667
00:33:09,330 --> 00:33:12,370
# Under the shade of
the coolabah tree
668
00:33:12,370 --> 00:33:15,930
# He sang as he watched
and waited till his billy boiled
669
00:33:15,930 --> 00:33:18,130
# You'll come a-waltzing Matilda
with me... #
670
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:19,170
Everybody!
671
00:33:19,170 --> 00:33:22,650
# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
672
00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:26,250
# You'll come a-waltzing Matilda
with me... #
673
00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:29,490
We love good old sing-song
and that's what it's all about.
674
00:33:29,490 --> 00:33:31,690
You've all had a drink,
you've all had a great meal,
675
00:33:31,690 --> 00:33:34,250
got to know each other all week
and...
676
00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:37,690
and you want to...
You actually don't want it to end.
677
00:33:37,690 --> 00:33:40,450
And it is like, "Oh, there's
my friend, there's my friend...
678
00:33:40,450 --> 00:33:42,930
"let's have a sing-song
and a drink."
679
00:33:42,930 --> 00:33:45,650
And it doesn't get
any better than that, really.
680
00:33:45,650 --> 00:33:47,650
That's what cruising's all about -
681
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:50,170
making new friends
and making new memories.
682
00:33:50,170 --> 00:33:52,410
# ..You'll come a-waltzing
683
00:33:52,410 --> 00:33:59,090
# Matilda with me! #
684
00:33:59,090 --> 00:34:00,570
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
685
00:34:00,570 --> 00:34:02,690
AUDIENCE: Oi, oi, oi!
Yeah!
686
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,330
What a fabulous trip.
687
00:34:05,330 --> 00:34:08,330
I am a complete convert
to the cold water cruise,
688
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:11,650
with dramatic landscapes
and different experiences.
689
00:34:11,650 --> 00:34:17,170
My next cruise takes me
3,553 miles west across America,
690
00:34:17,170 --> 00:34:20,170
to a new adventure
round The Great Lakes.
691
00:34:20,170 --> 00:34:22,930
Straddling the border
between the US and Canada,
692
00:34:22,930 --> 00:34:27,170
these natural wonders are
roughly the size of the entire UK.
693
00:34:27,170 --> 00:34:30,010
Only a handful of
cruise lines sail them.
694
00:34:30,010 --> 00:34:31,410
For those that do,
695
00:34:31,410 --> 00:34:34,490
one of the favourite
departure points is Detroit,
696
00:34:34,490 --> 00:34:36,770
home of America's auto industry
697
00:34:36,770 --> 00:34:39,610
and, of course,
the birthplace of Motown.
698
00:34:43,890 --> 00:34:45,650
Hi, I'm Jane.
699
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:47,770
Jane McDonald.
Hang on one second, ma'am.
700
00:34:49,570 --> 00:34:52,530
McDonald, Jane -
you're in room 407. Yep.
701
00:34:52,530 --> 00:34:54,570
OK, you got it on your tag here?
I have. All right.
702
00:34:54,570 --> 00:34:57,050
We'll have the baggage handlers take
the bag for you, ma'am.
703
00:34:57,050 --> 00:34:59,210
Go ahead and enjoy your cruise.
Thank you so much.
704
00:34:59,210 --> 00:35:01,690
You're welcome. Bye. Bye-bye.
705
00:35:01,690 --> 00:35:02,690
Nice fella, in't he?
706
00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:06,050
The Victory II is 20 years old
707
00:35:06,050 --> 00:35:08,250
and feels like a cross
between an ocean liner
708
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:10,610
and a traditional river cruiser.
709
00:35:10,610 --> 00:35:13,330
She's got five decks and 101 cabins
710
00:35:13,330 --> 00:35:15,770
for up to 200 passengers.
711
00:35:15,770 --> 00:35:18,210
I've also heard
she's just been spruced up,
712
00:35:18,210 --> 00:35:19,650
so I can't wait to check her out.
713
00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:22,450
Hi! Welcome on board.
714
00:35:22,450 --> 00:35:24,890
Nice to see you! And you!
715
00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:27,090
How are you doing?
716
00:35:27,090 --> 00:35:30,010
Now, sea cruise,
river cruise, lake cruise,
717
00:35:30,010 --> 00:35:33,050
whichever one you go for,
it's the same deal.
718
00:35:33,050 --> 00:35:35,090
Oh, this is nice, in't it?
719
00:35:35,090 --> 00:35:37,770
Step one,
check in and collect your room key.
720
00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:39,650
Is it in here?
721
00:35:39,650 --> 00:35:41,290
Hi.
722
00:35:41,290 --> 00:35:43,490
Um, I give this to you,
is that right? Yes.
723
00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:46,850
What's your cabin number?
Do you know? 407. 407.
724
00:35:46,850 --> 00:35:48,290
Jane? Yes.
725
00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:50,890
OK, here is your room key.
The Wi-Fi password is on the back.
726
00:35:50,890 --> 00:35:53,450
Step two, go to the purser's office.
727
00:35:53,450 --> 00:35:55,650
This is where you
register your credit card,
728
00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:57,490
so then it's not real money -
729
00:35:57,490 --> 00:35:59,850
all you use is that.
Don't be fooled.
730
00:35:59,850 --> 00:36:02,330
So, everything that you get,
goes on your credit card,
731
00:36:02,330 --> 00:36:04,970
so don't think it's like
Monopoly cos it's not.
732
00:36:04,970 --> 00:36:06,730
It comes out of your bank account.
733
00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:08,810
Miss Jane McDonald. That's the one.
734
00:36:08,810 --> 00:36:12,690
Step three, check what's actually
included in your package,
735
00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:15,810
and remember, even if your food
and drinks are covered,
736
00:36:15,810 --> 00:36:18,090
you will probably have to
pay for any extras
737
00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:19,570
like a posh bottle of wine...
738
00:36:19,570 --> 00:36:20,610
..or three.
739
00:36:20,610 --> 00:36:22,010
Gorgeous day.
740
00:36:22,010 --> 00:36:23,930
Step four, find your cabin.
741
00:36:23,930 --> 00:36:24,970
409...
742
00:36:26,090 --> 00:36:27,930
407, here we go.
743
00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:31,330
Oh, it helps if you use your key.
744
00:36:34,890 --> 00:36:36,570
Right.
745
00:36:36,570 --> 00:36:39,130
Oh, wow this is lovely and cosy!
746
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:41,170
Aw, this is really nice.
747
00:36:41,170 --> 00:36:43,130
There's all the mod cons
you'd expect -
748
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:45,050
air conditioning, satellite TV
749
00:36:45,050 --> 00:36:47,090
and a fridge with free sodas.
750
00:36:47,090 --> 00:36:48,370
Or pop as we call it.
751
00:36:49,490 --> 00:36:50,610
And then we have...
752
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:52,850
..our wardrobes.
753
00:36:55,290 --> 00:36:56,850
Here we go, watch your step.
754
00:36:58,050 --> 00:36:59,290
Let's have a look here.
755
00:37:01,450 --> 00:37:04,170
We've got a shower. This is great.
756
00:37:04,170 --> 00:37:06,370
I like two sides because
I like plenty of room
757
00:37:06,370 --> 00:37:08,050
to put my own
things in there.
758
00:37:08,050 --> 00:37:09,610
So, yeah,
759
00:37:09,610 --> 00:37:10,690
everything you need.
760
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:15,130
She's certainly a sturdy ship,
761
00:37:15,130 --> 00:37:17,690
but that's exactly
what she needs to be
762
00:37:17,690 --> 00:37:20,090
to navigate the vast,
and sometimes freezing,
763
00:37:20,090 --> 00:37:22,730
stretches of fresh water
that make up the Great Lakes.
764
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:26,730
There are five in all
765
00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:29,130
and I'll be taking in
the sights of two of them -
766
00:37:29,130 --> 00:37:30,890
Erie and Ontario.
767
00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:33,290
We'll be cruising down to Cleveland
768
00:37:33,290 --> 00:37:36,810
before nipping over
the Canadian border at Niagara.
769
00:37:36,810 --> 00:37:39,530
After taking in Toronto,
we'll coast by Kingston
770
00:37:39,530 --> 00:37:41,610
and catch the sights in Quebec,
771
00:37:41,610 --> 00:37:44,010
then we'll head back down
the Saint Lawrence River,
772
00:37:44,010 --> 00:37:46,250
before making our
final call in Montreal.
773
00:37:54,370 --> 00:37:57,050
10pm and sail away.
774
00:37:57,050 --> 00:37:59,370
Say what you like
about American cities,
775
00:37:59,370 --> 00:38:03,010
but the skylines illuminated
at night and reflected on the water
776
00:38:03,010 --> 00:38:04,330
really are spectacular.
777
00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:11,770
But, for me, with nine days of
action-packed cruising ahead,
778
00:38:11,770 --> 00:38:13,370
I think it's time for lights out.
779
00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:22,530
Coming up,
780
00:38:22,530 --> 00:38:25,650
I get stuck into the gastronomic
delights of Cleveland...
781
00:38:25,650 --> 00:38:29,130
Oh! Right, I'm sorry, I'm going in.
782
00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:31,490
..and rock up at
the musical hall of fame.
783
00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:34,970
Petula Clark!
Such a star, Pet Clark. Right?
784
00:38:41,290 --> 00:38:44,290
I'm cruising around Canada
on the second leg of my tour
785
00:38:44,290 --> 00:38:46,370
around The Great Lakes.
786
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:48,570
Morning.
HORN BLARES
787
00:38:48,570 --> 00:38:51,650
We've sailed 87 miles
south on Lake Erie overnight,
788
00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:53,090
and now I've had my sleep,
789
00:38:53,090 --> 00:38:55,890
nothing's going to get me down -
even this!
790
00:38:55,890 --> 00:38:57,810
This is Cleveland.
791
00:38:57,810 --> 00:39:00,530
Apparently, massively
industrial in the 1900s...
792
00:39:01,730 --> 00:39:03,570
..but, unfortunately, not any more.
793
00:39:05,650 --> 00:39:09,490
Places like this make up the
so-called Rust Belt of the USA
794
00:39:09,490 --> 00:39:11,530
but, like many former factory towns,
795
00:39:11,530 --> 00:39:13,050
its enjoying a resurgence.
796
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:15,330
Alongside a string of
new attractions,
797
00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:17,970
there are the traditional ones.
798
00:39:17,970 --> 00:39:20,290
And, today, I am visiting
the grandest of all,
799
00:39:20,290 --> 00:39:22,250
the West Side Market.
800
00:39:22,250 --> 00:39:23,810
Thank you very much. You're welcome.
801
00:39:23,810 --> 00:39:25,970
I've got my red ticket. I'm off.
802
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:29,410
Good morning. Good morning.
803
00:39:29,410 --> 00:39:31,610
And I've got company.
804
00:39:31,610 --> 00:39:34,050
Being Americans,
most of my fellow passengers
805
00:39:34,050 --> 00:39:36,770
aren't used to staycations with this
sort of weather,
806
00:39:36,770 --> 00:39:38,530
but I'm from Yorkshire!
807
00:39:38,530 --> 00:39:40,810
This is just like
being at home for me.
808
00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:44,650
But never mind, we're on vacation,
aren't we?
809
00:39:44,650 --> 00:39:46,890
We're on holiday!
810
00:39:46,890 --> 00:39:50,050
We're going to have fun. We're
going to have fun. Yeah, we are.
811
00:39:50,050 --> 00:39:52,690
Yeah, we are. Fun! Yeah, fun. Yeah.
812
00:39:52,690 --> 00:39:54,970
Good morning!
813
00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:57,250
Welcome aboard Lolly the Trolley.
814
00:39:57,250 --> 00:40:01,130
My name is Rosalind and I will
be your driver and guide today.
815
00:40:01,130 --> 00:40:03,490
Don't worry, blue skies are coming.
816
00:40:04,530 --> 00:40:07,410
You don't have to be
part of a cruise to book this,
817
00:40:07,410 --> 00:40:10,610
as Lolly and the other trolleys
do public excursions.
818
00:40:12,890 --> 00:40:15,210
They start at £13 for an hour -
819
00:40:15,210 --> 00:40:18,290
a snip when you've got Rosalind
to share her local knowledge.
820
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:22,130
Well, Cleveland was founded
821
00:40:22,130 --> 00:40:24,450
in 1796
822
00:40:24,450 --> 00:40:26,410
by a Connecticut Yankee
823
00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:27,970
named Moses Cleaveland.
824
00:40:29,490 --> 00:40:32,650
The city's position on the lake
made it ideal for manufacturing
825
00:40:32,650 --> 00:40:34,330
and transporting goods.
826
00:40:34,330 --> 00:40:35,690
In the 1800s,
827
00:40:35,690 --> 00:40:37,890
it became a magnet for eastern
European immigrants
828
00:40:37,890 --> 00:40:38,890
looking for work.
829
00:40:40,530 --> 00:40:42,890
The West Side Market
was built to cater for them
830
00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:44,170
and other communities
831
00:40:44,170 --> 00:40:46,770
and, a century on,
it's still a hotbed of diversity.
832
00:40:48,130 --> 00:40:49,450
Today, you walk inside
833
00:40:49,450 --> 00:40:52,530
and you can still hear all different
types of languages being spoken
834
00:40:52,530 --> 00:40:54,250
at our beautiful West Side Market.
835
00:40:56,170 --> 00:40:57,530
Right, come on, team.
836
00:40:59,410 --> 00:41:01,770
Oh, wow, look at the roof.
837
00:41:01,770 --> 00:41:03,410
Yeah, look at the ceilings.
838
00:41:03,410 --> 00:41:05,410
Look at the ceilings.
839
00:41:05,410 --> 00:41:07,770
This 44-feet-high tiled arch
840
00:41:07,770 --> 00:41:09,210
is a masterpiece.
841
00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:11,690
No wonder the market's been voted
one of America's
842
00:41:11,690 --> 00:41:13,530
ten great public places.
843
00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:18,250
Pasta.
844
00:41:18,250 --> 00:41:19,490
You can't beat it.
845
00:41:19,490 --> 00:41:22,570
This dried up packet stuff
is just not the same, is it?
846
00:41:22,570 --> 00:41:24,410
Well, I've never had fresh,
847
00:41:24,410 --> 00:41:27,250
so I don't know. Have you not?
Oh, wow.
848
00:41:27,250 --> 00:41:30,050
I need to try that. Oh, it does
taste good, fresh pasta. I'm sure.
849
00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:33,930
This is my new American buddy,
Linda, by the way.
850
00:41:33,930 --> 00:41:35,370
We both love to chat
851
00:41:35,370 --> 00:41:37,570
and adore a good sausage.
852
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:39,410
We're mostly German descent
853
00:41:39,410 --> 00:41:43,130
and the town that we come from
has a bratwurst festival.
854
00:41:43,130 --> 00:41:45,970
Really! So if they have bratwurst,
855
00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:48,570
we want to see if they taste like
our bratwurst.
856
00:41:48,570 --> 00:41:50,850
Oh, those are hot dogs,
not bratwurst.
857
00:41:57,250 --> 00:42:00,050
Apparently, all the stalls here
let you try before you buy.
858
00:42:01,290 --> 00:42:03,490
Wow, look at that - nut crispies.
859
00:42:03,490 --> 00:42:05,050
Being British and reserved,
860
00:42:05,050 --> 00:42:06,690
I don't like to ask. Hi...
861
00:42:06,690 --> 00:42:08,290
Linda, on the other hand.
862
00:42:08,290 --> 00:42:11,690
Do you have free samples? Yes.
863
00:42:11,690 --> 00:42:14,410
Look, free samples. Free samples!
864
00:42:14,410 --> 00:42:15,770
Oh!
865
00:42:15,770 --> 00:42:16,890
It's very good.
866
00:42:16,890 --> 00:42:18,850
Anchovies. Ooh, they look good.
867
00:42:18,850 --> 00:42:21,210
This says this popcorn is hot.
868
00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:22,890
How hot, is it? Let me try one.
869
00:42:22,890 --> 00:42:24,290
Ooh.
870
00:42:24,290 --> 00:42:25,410
Ooh, it is hot. It is hot?
871
00:42:25,410 --> 00:42:27,050
Oh!
872
00:42:27,050 --> 00:42:29,050
Oh! Oh-ho-ho!
873
00:42:29,050 --> 00:42:31,010
That is really spicy. Whoopsy!
874
00:42:36,450 --> 00:42:37,570
I've also been told
875
00:42:37,570 --> 00:42:40,250
there's some great food
outside the market as well.
876
00:42:40,250 --> 00:42:44,130
Apparently this is the best comfort
food you'll ever taste. Ah.
877
00:42:45,810 --> 00:42:47,450
Hi. Hello, ma'am, how are you doing?
878
00:42:47,450 --> 00:42:48,690
I'm good, how are you?
879
00:42:48,690 --> 00:42:50,050
Hello? Hello.
880
00:42:50,050 --> 00:42:51,530
How are you doing? Hi.
881
00:42:51,530 --> 00:42:53,410
Hi. What is in a Polish Boy?
882
00:42:55,810 --> 00:42:57,650
This is all a sandwich
883
00:42:57,650 --> 00:42:59,130
with Polish sausage... Right.
884
00:42:59,130 --> 00:43:01,290
..slaw, topped with fries
885
00:43:01,290 --> 00:43:03,090
and Seti's barbecue sauce. Wow.
886
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:04,170
Mm.
887
00:43:04,170 --> 00:43:07,650
So that's like everything
in a sandwich. Yes.
888
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:09,210
It's a whole meal in a sandwich.
889
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,690
Can I try one?
890
00:43:10,690 --> 00:43:11,850
Absolutely.
891
00:43:11,850 --> 00:43:14,530
In fact, I am going to have one,
two, three, four, five.
892
00:43:14,530 --> 00:43:15,970
Five? Five. Oh!
893
00:43:15,970 --> 00:43:18,050
JANE LAUGHS
894
00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:19,930
We're all going
to have this together.
895
00:43:19,930 --> 00:43:21,610
We're all going to go in together.
896
00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:27,450
Seti and wife Marsha launched their
Polish Boy 20 years ago,
897
00:43:27,450 --> 00:43:29,970
and it's since been voted
one of the best sandwiches
898
00:43:29,970 --> 00:43:31,650
in all of America.
899
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:33,450
Oh!
900
00:43:33,450 --> 00:43:37,170
Right, I'm sorry, I'm going in.
Oh, she's going in.
901
00:43:37,170 --> 00:43:40,090
Oh, my God. There's a lot of fries
on there. Yeah. Mm!
902
00:43:42,690 --> 00:43:43,810
Oh, my goodness.
903
00:43:45,690 --> 00:43:47,010
Mm. It's really bad...
904
00:43:48,130 --> 00:43:50,050
..but it's really good.
905
00:43:50,050 --> 00:43:52,570
Personally, I'd stuff myself
with this all day,
906
00:43:52,570 --> 00:43:54,530
but the one Seti really has
to impress
907
00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:56,970
is my fellow passenger, Linda.
908
00:43:56,970 --> 00:43:59,290
Mm. The sausage is very good.
909
00:43:59,290 --> 00:44:00,890
I like when you bite
into it, it's...
910
00:44:00,890 --> 00:44:03,530
Yeah, its good a good bite.
..it snaps or something.
911
00:44:03,530 --> 00:44:04,850
It's crispy.
912
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:09,370
After years of decline,
913
00:44:09,370 --> 00:44:11,250
Cleveland's a city on the way up,
914
00:44:11,250 --> 00:44:13,570
and this is one of the reasons why -
915
00:44:13,570 --> 00:44:15,490
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
916
00:44:15,490 --> 00:44:18,210
now attracting nearly 600,000
visitors each year.
917
00:44:19,810 --> 00:44:22,010
Now, loads of American
cities are linked to music,
918
00:44:22,010 --> 00:44:25,570
but, here's why they plonked
the Hall of Fame in this one -
919
00:44:25,570 --> 00:44:28,970
the term "rock and roll"
was born right here
920
00:44:28,970 --> 00:44:30,890
by a guy called
Alan Freed, who was a DJ.
921
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:35,290
He was also one of the first
broadcasters to play R&B
922
00:44:35,290 --> 00:44:37,730
on his radio show back in the '50s.
923
00:44:37,730 --> 00:44:39,010
Not only that,
924
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:41,570
he hosted the world's
first rock and roll concert -
925
00:44:41,570 --> 00:44:43,410
the Moondog Coronation Ball,
926
00:44:43,410 --> 00:44:44,890
right here in Cleveland.
927
00:44:44,890 --> 00:44:46,570
True, it ended in a riot
928
00:44:46,570 --> 00:44:48,650
when 20,000 teens turned up,
929
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:50,530
but it did cement
the city's place
930
00:44:50,530 --> 00:44:51,890
in popular music history.
931
00:44:56,010 --> 00:44:57,730
To get into the Hall of Fame,
932
00:44:57,730 --> 00:45:01,210
you have to have been in the music
business for at least 25 years
933
00:45:01,210 --> 00:45:03,690
or if, like me,
you're a fresh-faced wannabe
934
00:45:03,690 --> 00:45:05,890
with all your career still
ahead of you,
935
00:45:05,890 --> 00:45:08,610
then you can queue up and pay around
25 quid to get in
936
00:45:08,610 --> 00:45:10,410
like everybody else.
937
00:45:10,410 --> 00:45:11,770
Hi! Hi, Jane!
938
00:45:11,770 --> 00:45:14,770
Hi. So good to see you.
Good to see you.
939
00:45:14,770 --> 00:45:18,290
My guide Anwaka is taking me
on a tour of seven floors,
940
00:45:18,290 --> 00:45:20,170
all of them rammed with memorabilia.
941
00:45:21,330 --> 00:45:22,730
So, this is...
942
00:45:22,730 --> 00:45:25,450
Jane, this is
Aretha Franklin's dress.
943
00:45:25,450 --> 00:45:28,490
This is her gown. This is what she
wore at her Radio City performance.
944
00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:29,810
Wow.
945
00:45:29,810 --> 00:45:32,970
You know, you don't realise what
impact that has,
946
00:45:32,970 --> 00:45:34,650
just looking at that. Right.
947
00:45:34,650 --> 00:45:36,850
Because you can just
picture her in it.
948
00:45:36,850 --> 00:45:39,690
The exhibits are arranged
by artist, style,
949
00:45:39,690 --> 00:45:41,170
city and era.
950
00:45:41,170 --> 00:45:43,290
I think Anwaka's guessed
my favourite.
951
00:45:45,970 --> 00:45:47,970
Dusty Springfield's jacket! Yes.
952
00:45:49,210 --> 00:45:52,090
Here, on this side,
we have a beautiful gown
953
00:45:52,090 --> 00:45:54,090
from Petula Clark. Petula Clark!
954
00:45:54,090 --> 00:45:55,410
Petula!
955
00:45:55,410 --> 00:45:57,050
Yes, absolutely, I mean...
956
00:45:57,050 --> 00:45:59,210
Such a star, Pet Clark. Right?
957
00:45:59,210 --> 00:46:00,850
Right? Amazing songs.
958
00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:02,810
Is that Gerry
and the Pacemakers there. Yes.
959
00:46:02,810 --> 00:46:04,770
Gerry Marsden, look at... Yes.
960
00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:07,530
Gerry Marsden in the Rock and Roll
of Fame where he should be.
961
00:46:07,530 --> 00:46:11,130
These people are still - The
Dakotas, Gerry and the Pacemakers -
962
00:46:11,130 --> 00:46:13,010
they're still all working in the UK.
963
00:46:13,010 --> 00:46:14,890
Those sounds are so unique.
964
00:46:14,890 --> 00:46:15,970
You can't dismiss it.
965
00:46:15,970 --> 00:46:17,330
No, you can't at all.
966
00:46:18,650 --> 00:46:20,530
Well, what a treat that was
967
00:46:20,530 --> 00:46:23,850
and what a shrine to some of
the greatest names in music.
968
00:46:26,290 --> 00:46:29,610
So, after saying cheerio to Ohio,
969
00:46:29,610 --> 00:46:33,170
we're now heading 180 miles north
on Lake Erie
970
00:46:33,170 --> 00:46:34,970
to the Niagara River.
971
00:46:34,970 --> 00:46:37,290
Here, we'll sail through
Welland Canal,
972
00:46:37,290 --> 00:46:38,570
then hop on a bus
973
00:46:38,570 --> 00:46:40,930
to one of the great
natural wonders of the world.
974
00:46:46,210 --> 00:46:48,250
Right.
975
00:46:48,250 --> 00:46:50,370
It's an hour's
drive from the ship to Niagara.
976
00:46:51,410 --> 00:46:53,130
But what a drive.
977
00:46:53,130 --> 00:46:55,970
And what a first
impression of Canada.
978
00:46:55,970 --> 00:46:59,810
So exciting. I've just been waiting
for this, for such a long time.
979
00:46:59,810 --> 00:47:01,730
And I'm finally here.
980
00:47:04,090 --> 00:47:07,650
Our excursion of the Falls
comes as part of the cruise package.
981
00:47:07,650 --> 00:47:09,890
There's so much to see,
if you are doing the Great Lakes,
982
00:47:09,890 --> 00:47:12,450
but I wouldn't miss this one
for the world.
983
00:47:12,450 --> 00:47:14,010
Are you ready for this excitement?
984
00:47:14,010 --> 00:47:18,370
Do you know, I am,
I'm really excited about this.
985
00:47:18,370 --> 00:47:20,130
Wait till you get under that rush.
986
00:47:20,130 --> 00:47:24,090
Coming up, I get a close-up view
of the Niagara Falls...
987
00:47:24,090 --> 00:47:26,730
I'm absolutely wet through.
988
00:47:26,730 --> 00:47:28,770
It was like being in a car-wash!
989
00:47:28,770 --> 00:47:29,810
SHE SCREAMS
990
00:47:29,810 --> 00:47:32,250
..with the full Niagara experience.
991
00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:34,170
This is amazing!
992
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,120
I'm cruising round
The Great Lakes on my Canadian trip.
993
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,840
And today we're at
the amazing Niagara Falls.
994
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,240
We're booked on the Hornblower
Catamaran which will take us
995
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:56,200
right up to the base of the Falls,
all for an £18 ticket.
996
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,480
One thing to remember,
997
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,040
is more than 12 million people
visit here every year,
998
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,640
so, plan your trip well in advance,
and consider booking ahead online.
999
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,720
Wow. Look at that! Look at that!
1000
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,600
The catamarans leave
every 15 minutes, they hold
1001
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,880
up to 700 passengers, who all
get the complimentary ponchos.
1002
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,080
Fetching, eh?
1003
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,600
Ooh!
1004
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,600
Everybody has made
their way upstairs,
1005
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,840
because they think
that's the best view.
1006
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,040
It isn't, it's here.
Exactly the same view,
1007
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,800
but there's a lot more protection.
1008
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,680
The Falls were
formed at the end of the Ice Age,
1009
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,880
when masses of melting glacier
water gushed through
1010
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,720
the Niagara River, cascading
over cliffs, into Lake Ontario.
1011
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:01,000
And it was the water's force,
1012
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,880
that gave the Falls
their renowned horseshoe shape.
1013
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,560
You know, Niagara
was an Indigenous word.
1014
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,960
Aha.
1015
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,960
From "Onguiaahra", which means
"thunder of waters".
1016
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,120
Wow.
1017
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,920
That's why we have... It's the
roaring water, from the Falls.
1018
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,520
Thunder of waters.
1019
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,400
Amazing. Now, we are going to get
really wet.
1020
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:23,520
Going to get wet.
1021
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,000
Let's just go in there.
1022
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,000
SHE LAUGHS
1023
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,040
We're getting wet.
We're getting wet!
1024
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,080
You know what, I'm just going
to go out there and embrace it,
1025
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,880
I'm going to go out.
1026
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,280
Look at this.
1027
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,640
Look at this!
1028
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,240
Wow!
1029
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,240
It's very, very wet,
but it is unbelievable.
1030
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:57,360
It's amazing!
1031
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,480
This has been fascinating. I've
come to the Falls numerous times.
1032
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:17,680
Really?
1033
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,920
Never taken the boat over. Wow!
1034
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,800
It's the power of nature.
It is the power of nature.
1035
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,960
Fantastic.
1036
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,760
SHE LAUGHS
1037
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,240
Oh, my gosh!
1038
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,680
I'm absolutely wet through.
It was like being in a car-wash.
1039
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:50,720
It was...
1040
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:52,680
Or a big tumble dryer.
1041
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,320
But it was exhilarating,
to see nature like that
1042
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,600
and the force of water.
1043
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,320
It was so exciting.
1044
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,560
Just loved every single minute!
1045
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,760
And, you know what, there's an
equally spectacular way to see it.
1046
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:25,080
A few years ago, some bright
spark came up with a novel idea.
1047
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,960
Put a zip wire
across the Niagara River, he said.
1048
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,680
Well, in 2016,
they did it, and in 2019
1049
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,040
I'm going to try it.
1050
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,280
Are you scared, as well?
1051
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,920
I'm scared, you know...
1052
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,360
I've just started getting
really scared, have you?
1053
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,560
I'm glad it's not just me!
1054
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,920
No, I think it's everybody.
1055
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,920
Like the catamarans, it's wise to
book the zip wire ahead, to avoid
1056
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,080
the queues, because the longer the
wait, the more frayed the nerves.
1057
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:58,280
Must admit, my mouth
and my throat have gone really dry.
1058
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,240
Because I, erm...
1059
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:03,040
My adrenaline's going like mad.
1060
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,200
When I saw it online, I thought,
"Oh, gosh, that looks great,
1061
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,360
"let's have a go,"
but actually, I'm here
1062
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,040
waiting to queue up and it's...
1063
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:13,920
It's a long way down.
1064
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,360
220 feet,
or 67 metres down, to be exact.
1065
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,040
And the zip wire
stretches nearly 700 metres.
1066
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,520
And if that's not scary enough,
1067
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,840
I'll be flying through the air
at 40mph.
1068
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,360
I think I'm going to be fine,
1069
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,240
I'm just going to watch
a couple of people.
1070
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:36,000
My mouth is so dry,
I can't even begin to tell you.
1071
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,040
I don't know why...
1072
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,480
..why I'm doing this but...
1073
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,360
I'll be fine.
1074
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,640
I'll be fine!
1075
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,920
Pull it up, and then over your
shoulders like a backpack.
1076
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,760
Ah-ha. Are you nervous?
1077
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,480
Yes. Don't be, it's not that bad.
1078
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:51,640
I know.
1079
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,280
Whoo.
1080
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,240
All right, can you put
your left leg up for me?
1081
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:57,160
Yeah. Right. Oh, hello.
1082
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,600
Oh, that chafes a bit.
1083
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,000
All right, sit down. It's going to
be the comfiest thing
1084
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,960
you ever sit on. Oh! Yeah.
Lean back a bit. Yeah. All right.
1085
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,360
Why am I doing this?
Oh, my God.
1086
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,400
Aaaah!
1087
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,640
SHE LAUGHS
Whoo!
1088
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,120
Oh, my God, this is amazing!
1089
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,360
Oh, wow!
1090
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,600
Oh!
1091
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,880
Oh, this is fabulous!
Look at me!
1092
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,000
Whoo!
1093
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,320
Aaaah!
1094
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,160
Yay! Wow!
1095
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,160
Look at this day!
1096
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,480
Oh, whoa!
1097
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,320
Yes!
1098
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,560
Yes, here we go! Oh, my! Aaaah!
1099
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,440
SHE LAUGHS
Oh, God.
1100
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,480
OK, it may not have been the most
graceful landing in the world,
1101
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,720
but who cares when you're having
so much fun!
1102
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:56,400
Oh, my God! Oh. How was your flight?
1103
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,880
Oh, it was brilliant.
1104
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:58,960
It was so good.
1105
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,520
It was much better than I thought.
1106
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,080
Bye, Niagara.
I've definitely "fallen" for you.
1107
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,400
During the night, my ship
left the splendour of Niagara Falls,
1108
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,000
and headed north on Lake Ontario,
to hip and happening Toronto.
1109
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,440
Let's go!
I wonder what we've got here.
1110
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,920
Look at this skyline.
1111
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,240
Do you know, I really love Canada.
1112
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,480
I really do love Canada.
1113
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,360
And that's the beautiful
thing about a cruise.
1114
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,920
You can go and see little bits of it
1115
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,200
and then see which is
your favourite.
1116
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,200
And then go back and visit.
1117
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,760
Oh, look, I match the decor today.
1118
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,680
Good morning. Good morning.
How are you?
1119
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,040
I'm really well, how are you? Great.
1120
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,880
To help us get our bearings,
1121
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,280
the cruise line's
laid on a city bus tour
1122
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,560
and given us a lovely guide
named Phil.
1123
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,880
It's my job to tell you probably
more than you need to know,
1124
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,080
over the next few hours
about Toronto.
1125
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:13,000
Canada was part of the British
Empire for over 100 years.
1126
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:20,160
And Toronto was originally named
York! Now I do feel at home.
1127
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:25,080
It's just stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
1128
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,760
This is a place I could live.
1129
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,960
Especially in one of them houses!
1130
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,520
Please.
1131
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,960
The architecture here is so varied,
from the futuristic CN Tower,
1132
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,000
once the world's tallest,
to this Gothic style castle,
1133
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,160
Castle Loma.
1134
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,480
Thank you.
1135
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,800
But there are more great sights off
the usual tourist trail, like this.
1136
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,680
It's a fountain of dogs!
1137
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,720
Berczy Park was an old parking lot,
until it was brought to life
1138
00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:58,800
with the unveiling of
its canine fountain, in 2017.
1139
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,400
It's called Jacob's Ladder
and there's 27 dogs,
1140
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,600
plus one lonely cat.
1141
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,720
I like the fact they've got
a bone on the very top.
1142
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:10,720
The local artist was commissioned
to design the piece after
1143
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,320
winning a public competition.
1144
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,520
He gets my vote, too.
1145
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,320
I think it's really quirky,
and I think it's really great.
1146
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,160
Now I'm back on the ship
and it's cocktail hour.
1147
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,320
Oh, well, one more for the road.
1148
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,800
And then maybe have an early night.
1149
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,080
Ta-ra! An au revoir!
1150
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,480
Toodle-ooh, Toronto,
what a fabulous day.
1151
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:45,720
It's exceeded all my expectations,
I've had a fabulous time.
1152
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:47,280
Cheers, everyone.
1153
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,160
Coming up,
1154
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,080
a little bit of an English tradition
in French Quebec...
1155
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,120
I presume the changing
of the guards is all about
1156
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,360
the guards changing over!
1157
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,320
Are you ready to get
wet, wild and crazy?
1158
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,480
..and I wonder if I've made
the right decision
1159
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:04,800
about the Montreal Rapids.
1160
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,120
I'm on the next leg of my journey.
1161
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,160
After leaving
Toronto behind overnight,
1162
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,360
we're heading north
towards Kingston.
1163
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,640
It's where we'll join
the Saint Lawrence River
1164
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,320
and say bonjour to
Canada's French province, Quebec.
1165
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:34,120
Two days it'll take us, but then,
there's a lot of water to cover.
1166
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,720
It's really hard to believe
that I am on a lake cruise,
1167
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,760
because it's so big,
it feels like I'm on the ocean.
1168
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,760
It feels like I'm at sea,
but all that water is fresh.
1169
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,480
And, it was all frozen at one point.
1170
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,400
So, all the lakes, the US lakes
and the Canadian lakes,
1171
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,400
come from a glacier.
1172
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,960
Which is quite incredible,
really, isn't it?
1173
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,280
We're now cruising up
the Saint Lawrence River,
1174
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,200
where you will find
The Thousand Islands.
1175
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:04,560
Sound familiar?
1176
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,760
Well, yes, the dressing really did
get its name from here -
1177
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,800
thanks to a fisherman's wife,
1178
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,360
who made the sauce to serve with
her husband's fish supper.
1179
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,200
Or so the story goes.
1180
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,920
What's definitely true is
that the islands have been
1181
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,560
a retreat for the American
and Canadian rich
1182
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,520
since the 19th century,
1183
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,560
and they're still home to
some of the most elaborate mansions.
1184
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:31,000
Every house is different,
every house has its own story.
1185
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,840
Every house has its own island.
1186
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,560
The Victory II continues
its way up the Saint Lawrence.
1187
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,880
740 miles of waterway
connecting The Great Lakes
1188
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,280
to the Atlantic Ocean.
1189
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,360
And, taking in our next destination,
1190
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,040
Quebec City.
1191
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,840
Oh, what a beautiful day.
1192
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,640
I've even got my arms out.
1193
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,800
I'm going solo this morning.
1194
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,560
Heading out to explore
the old part of the city.
1195
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,120
It was originally a fur trading
post, and the French were
1196
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,520
the first Europeans to settle here,
way back in 1608.
1197
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,720
Now, it says here on t'interweb
that Place-Royale - which is this,
1198
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:19,400
Old Quebec - is one of the oldest
cities in North America,
1199
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,200
and the birthplace
of French Canada.
1200
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,120
This really is a handsome city,
1201
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,320
and though it may be
3,000 miles from France,
1202
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,000
there's an unmistakably
Parisian vibe.
1203
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,960
Now, I know I've been saying
this place is very French,
1204
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,800
but there's also something
very, well...British.
1205
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,800
BUGLE PLAYS
1206
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:54,080
I never thought
I would travel to Quebec in Canada
1207
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,200
to watch the changing of the guards.
1208
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,360
The Citadelle of Quebec is
Canada's oldest military barracks,
1209
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,120
and home to its only
French-speaking regiment -
1210
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,320
the Royal 22nd, or Van Doos.
1211
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:17,560
Created just after Canada left the
British Empire, it took inspiration
1212
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,720
from our own Grenadier Guards,
right down to the bearskin hats.
1213
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:25,360
Its colonel-in-chief is the Queen,
who even stays here whenever she's
1214
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,440
in town, and every day, you can
come and watch the guards changing,
1215
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,360
just like Buck House.
1216
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,920
I presume
the changing of the guards
1217
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,200
is all about the guards
changing over.
1218
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,600
SHE LAUGHS
1219
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,440
What's lovely about this is that
so many French Canadians turn
1220
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,800
out to watch, even though
it conjures up thoughts of Britain.
1221
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,560
Still, I've said it before,
wherever you
1222
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,600
are in the world, there's something
about men and women in uniform.
1223
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,080
Over the last nine days,
I've been blown away by the beauty
1224
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,640
and splendour of North America's
Great Lakes.
1225
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,640
But like all adventures,
this one has come to an end.
1226
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,440
Overnight, my ship headed back
down the Saint Lawrence River to
1227
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,520
make its final stop, in Montreal.
1228
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,280
Thank you. Thank you. Bye!
1229
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,960
Now, my flight home
doesn't leave until tonight,
1230
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,760
so I could go and explore
some of the city's great sights,
1231
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,480
like the Olympic stadium,
or this giant snow dome.
1232
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,560
But I've chosen something a little
more daredevil instead -
1233
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,320
a boat ride on the Montreal Rapids.
1234
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,960
Are you ready to get wet, wild and
crazy? Oh, am I going to get wet?
1235
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,760
Oh, for sure. This is like a
submarine ride in a convertible.
1236
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,600
Oh! We guarantee
you're going to be wet,
1237
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,800
otherwise we throw you overboard.
1238
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,800
Oh, dear.
1239
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,400
I booked this ride
in advance online.
1240
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,640
More fool me.
1241
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,440
They show you a video which,
quite frankly,
1242
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,400
frightens the life out of you.
1243
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,760
Then, you get to put on
your safety gear.
1244
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,760
I've opted for as much of it
as possible.
1245
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,960
Hiya.
1246
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,800
That's me done.
1247
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,280
Banana!
SHE LAUGHS
1248
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,720
I don't suppose this is
the best look I've ever had.
1249
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,920
Other more flattering safety
outfits are available,
1250
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,520
as demonstrated by my fellow
passengers.
1251
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,440
OK, you look so...
But I look like a minion!
1252
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:21,760
SHE LAUGHS
That's funny.
1253
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,160
This is not funny, is it?
1254
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,360
I mean you look really buff
and gorgeous,
1255
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,840
I look like something
that the cat dragged in.
1256
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,600
Ooh.
1257
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:34,400
Right, I haven't even set off yet,
and I've got white knuckles.
1258
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,680
This boat was specially designed
to cope with the Rapids
1259
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,280
and can reach up to 50mph,
which is fun! Apparently.
1260
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,480
SCREAMING
1261
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,720
Now, usually, at this point,
I'd give
1262
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,920
you an interesting fact or two
about what I'm doing, but not now -
1263
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,440
not when I'm stuck on a spin cycle.
1264
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,080
And just for the record, the yellow
poncho doesn't keep the water out.
1265
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,200
Finally, it's all over.
1266
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:28,920
It's been an experience,
1267
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,960
and while I'm not quite sure if
I'd do it again,
1268
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,240
it's taken me
out of my comfort zone,
1269
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,560
which is what adventures
are all about.
1270
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,280
You know, before I booked this trip,
1271
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,080
I could see it was geared towards
the older cruiser,
1272
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,000
who likes a gentle pace.
1273
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,200
But, if you plan ahead,
you can add some-action packed stops
1274
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,440
and enjoy the best of both worlds.
1275
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,360
I've seen some incredible sights,
made some fabulous friends,
1276
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,240
and, as for the music...
well, nothing can match motown.
1277
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,840
# Ain't no mountain high
1278
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,200
# Ain't no valley low
1279
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:12,120
# Ain't no river
wide enough, baby
1280
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,280
# If you need me, call me
1281
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,040
# No matter where you are
1282
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,960
# No matter how far
1283
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,800
# Don't worry, baby
1284
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,520
# Just call my name
1285
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,280
# I'll be there in a hurry
1286
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,160
# You don't have to worry
1287
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,920
# Cos, baby, there
ain't no mountain high enough
1288
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,640
# Ain't no valley low enough
1289
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,080
# Ain't no river wide enough
1290
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,400
# To keep me
from getting to you, babe
1291
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,640
# Remember the day I set you free
1292
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,560
# I told you you could always
count on me, darling
1293
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,320
# From that day on
1294
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,960
# I made a vow
1295
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,120
# I'll be there when you want me
1296
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,000
# Some way, somehow
1297
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,960
# Baby, there ain't no mountain
high enough
1298
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:03,600
# Ain't no valley low enough
1299
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,080
# Ain't no river wide enough
1300
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:11,400
# To keep me from
getting to you, babe
1301
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,640
# Oh, no, darling
1302
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,640
# No wind, no rain
1303
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,800
# Or winters cold
1304
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,120
# Can stop me, baby
1305
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,880
# No, no, baby
1306
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,480
# Because you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
1307
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,680
# I'll be there on the double
Just send for me
1308
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,600
# Oh, baby
1309
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,800
# Ain't no mountain high enough
1310
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,600
# Ain't no valley low enough
1311
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,440
# Ain't no river wide enough
1312
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,440
# To keep me from
getting to you, baby. #
1313
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,640
SHE CHUCKLES
1314
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:56,880
Stop laughing.
1315
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,760
