Re: The travel topic
Shamefully I haven't travelled anywhere in the last two years. Lockdown really makes you appreciate the freedoms of travelling and holidaying. As soon as this shit's over I'll be all over Europe.

Re: The travel topic
I'd love another trip to the Netherlands, Belgium and Scotland as well as go to Portugal when I think we can. Though at the moment I'd be happy just to make a weekend in London to see family and friends.

Re: The travel topic
Ohh yeah I was in Bruges before and I recommend the torture museum and the fries museum. The fries one was a special comedic hell.
Re: The travel topic
I honestly don't remember either of them but then was only there a few days. Did go to some quirky chocolate, doll and lace museums though.

Re: The travel topic
I’m on board with the chocolate and fries museum. That’s the foodie in me talking though.

Re: The travel topic
We did a vblog about these museums such as the lamp and Chocostory ones too (incoming shameless channel plug).
Re: The travel topic
It wasn't that interesting, just historical stuff from what I recall. I was expecting something like from the opening of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
Re: The travel topic
I have to get off this feckin' Island at some stage and visit another country.

It still feels so surreal that I took my first ever trip to America just one week before everything basically shut down.

Re: The travel topic
Well I couldn't travel to all the places I wanted to go to last summer but at least I was still lucky enough to go to the Faroe Islands!
Re: The travel topic
At this stage we're lucky to even be allowed leave our counties, never mind the country...

Re: The travel topic
Well it could be worse I guess. You could be in lockdown or be forbidden to leave your house or something!

Re: The travel topic
I feel a bit like I narrowly dodged a bullet by doing a short trip to Cheshire (and going slightly into the border of Wales because that was where a Cineworld screening Akira was) for Chester Zoo, and then going down south to Essex and see family and friends; just before both Nottingham and London went into local lockdown. The tier system here is flaky as all f and I still have to go to work because my job isn't the work from home kind!

Re: The travel topic
The last time I travelled was 9 years ago when I went to Mexico on a cruise ship. I'd probably need to fix my weight issue first before I feel like flying again. But all the recent plane issues make men ervous.

Re: The travel topic
The last time I had a trip away was staying at a lodge park in Yorkshire back in 2023 and that was so we could go to a small Sonic convention in York city centre. Also stopped by at a railway museum. The lodge was nice, it had a hot tub and we saw hares and stuff.
Re: The travel topic
I'd love to travel to the UK, never been there
