I Visit the Fram and Kontiki Museums in Olso
It had to be done while we were in Oslo. A dedicated video on Roald Amundsen's south pole exploration ship the FRAM, and Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki and Ra expeditions.
Both museums are situated in Bygdøy and are reasonably priced to get in to. We had bought a 24hr Oslo Pass so entry was free for us.

Olso Fjord Ferry Ride On Public Transport
มุมมอง 88วันที่ผ่านมา
Part of the full video footage I captured whilst in Oslo, was this footage of our Fjord Ferry Ride. Jumping on the public transport ferry using our Oslo Pass, we were able to just take in the cruise of the fjord and relax for an hour. It's the perfect way to see Oslo and the surrounding islands from the water. Buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/tudorsmith My other TH-cam Channels Tudor Smith...

St Clement's Church is an Anglican church, in the village of Old Romney, Kent, England. It is a Grade I listed building. The church is dedicated to Saint Clement, a successor to Saint Peter at Rome. It is built on an artificial mound to protect it from floodwater. It is thought the original church was built in the 8th century. In the 11th or 12th century the Saxon church was replaced by an earl...

Visited these museums last year they are absolutely amazing.
Next time I go, I'm not going to throw a video together. It was too distracting and therefore I didn't get the best out the museum. Definitely a very interesting place.
been there. An incredible museum!
I last went there as a teenager. I was pleased to see that it's been made into a worthwhile attraction 👍
Very interesting Tudor. I learnt something from this video 🤔Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition I knew of, but hadn't known about the Ra expedition. Just goes to prove we're always learning 👍
I thought no it’s exciting to always be learning 👍
I live in Eynsford and we pronounce it AINS FORD
Thanks for that 👍
The Grand Burstin stands on the sight of the Royal Pavilion Hotel (a small part of it remains behind) which was a real Grand Hotel in the day Folkestone served foot passengers. The harbour was owned by British Rail and it was only in the 60'd they put in the ramp for the ro-ro ferries Hengist and Horsa - BR were paying a fortune to Dover Harbour for docking rights....
Nice bit of interesting history. Thanks for sharing 👍
👍☺
In Gothenburg we have "Älvsnabben", which is a similar tour, with slighty smaller ferrys. You can go from the city centre to Klippan by Älvsborgsbron, for the same fee as travelling by tram.
I never knew that. It’s definitely worth remembering for any future trip 👍
Alfred Nobel was indeed Swedish, but in his time Norway was in a union with Sweden and thus he decided that the Norwegians would take care of the Peace prize. All the other Nobel prizes are awarded in Stockholm.
Oh that’s excellent. Thanks for clearing that up for me. 👍
Such fun!! I especially liked the chocolate shop and your old home and school and hearing your stories!! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thanks for sticking around to the end 🙏
@ Your videos make my week! Always look forward to them 🩷
Thank you for this. It brings back SOOOOOOO many memories. Grabbing the Trik from Haslum to Oslo. A trip to the bookstore, off of Karl Johans Gate and then lunch at Pepe's or a grabbing a lumpa at the stand near the City Hall. Oh and the bakery near the corner of KJG and Orve Slotte, ooohh soo good. Then the "arcade" it was 4 video machines at the top of the opposite street of KJG near the theatre. At Holmenkolen we watched the '84 jump competition only to watch a Fin just biff it 20m off of the jump. A Finish fan ran out onto the slope made sure he was ok and then handed him a shot of "something" and scampered back to the stands. He got a talking to, but was allowed to remain. There used to be a great shop off of Orve Slottes gate that had the sweaters and weren't at "tourist" prices. There also used to be a hobby shop off of Prinsens gate. You could get a Marklin railroad train car for less than $3. When the McDonalds opened in '84 we of course hit it. It was ok. But honestly there used to a "British" pub/resturant out near Majorstuen that was great. And honestly was the perfect place to introduce American kids to European cuisine.
Oh wow such great memories 🙏
What a great video. Memory lane for sure. 😊
We rushed it trying to cram in so much. I now have the urge to go back soon 👍
Interesting insight into your short Scandinavian break, looked beautiful to me as an outsider looking in, so to speak. Were you driving in your Volvo or had you gone in your son's car? Did you share the driving between you? 👍🏻
We took my son’s Peugeot. He’s not driving at the moment so it was all me.
It's always good to look back. Thanks for sharing Tudor.
This looks like so much fun!!
We spent 2 hours but I reckon you could be there all day if you wanted to 👍
That was an unexpected treat Tudor. Thanks for sharing it 👍🏻
I was in Hamburg in July. Did you go to the English Pub Kemps? It is owned by Gibson Kemp. I will be back in July.
Sadly no. We had a tight agenda and we were just passing through but had enough time for the wunderland.
Hamburgers! 😂 such a card 😂.
Apologies- it just came out 🤣
Tabram was almost certainly a JTR victim
I’ve always thought so.
Charles Allen cross lechmere it seems at this point is certainly the ripper
He does stand out above many if not all the suspects.
Agree 100%
Exciting looking forward to seeing your adventures! 😊
Enjoy your travels, shame it's chucking it down with rain as you set off 😉
Listen to the wind and rain!!.
The ferry crossing was so smooth.
I have seen many ghosts and spirits since i was a child.
I would love to come ghost hunting in pluckley
If you are gifted in seeing apparitions then I’d bet you’d see something at Pluckley 👍
Amazing video thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it
Pluckley Railway Station also has a ghost story, in the kitchen area of the station there is a bench and people I have met (during my long railway career) have told me that on this bench, a lady dressed in Victorian clothing has been seen by several members of staff that I personally know...and they were quite certain that they have seen the lady, Pluckley station is, I think the oldest wooden built railway station in England, possibly the world dating from the 1840's
Oh wow! Another one to add to the mysteries of Pluckley! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for this video. It is really nice to see a heritage railway and a nature area in one. The EWS locomotive is a Class 08 switcher/shunter. The grey locomotive next to this one is a Class 73 electro-diesel locomotive with a special coupling gear as it was designed to pull Eurostar trains and shunt them around the Eurostar North Pole depot in West London. Hope this helps and I really enjoyed the video.
Great info. Thank for sharing 👍
It's pronounced "Betts- Hanger" and the collieries were Tilmanstone, and Snowdown near to where you were. Betteshanger was on the Deal side, and coal was exported via Sandwich , a series of buckets on overhead wire system ferried coal all over.
I missed that one (I must do more research). I find churches fascinating. I still have to do the one in the village, but I have been too busy with other things. I only just found time to do a quick video yesterday that said you have all the time in the world when you retire. I wish. Lovely video, Tudor. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Martin. When they are open I find them fascinating to visit 👍
A very nice little video, St Clements church is a 15 minute walk across the fields ( footpaths ) from our front door. The upper pews in the church is the west gallery and this is where West Gallery music was sung. My wife’s ancestor wrote and taught this type of church music across Romney Marsh. Best wishes.
Oh I love interesting snippets of information like that. Thanks for sharing 👍
Beautiful as always.❤
She really is!
Beautiful place. I've just discovered your channel, I've subscribed too. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much 👍
Yes. I remember Derek Jarman. Used to see him on the telly quite a bit. I also remember watching Dr Syn. Boxed pews are fairly common but it's nice to see a very old church that hasn't be ruined by the Victorians obsession with tarting things up.
Yes it’s wonderful to see those old pews untouched. Friends of mine recently bought a pew from the church in Lympne for their mother, as the pews were being removed in favour of stacking chairs. Sign of the times I guess?
Oh this is fascinating, thank you for sharing this with us. I shall go and watch that film. I love finding older churches and yes as you walk in you do feel like you need to be respectful 😊 Enjoy your videos immensely thank you!
I was grateful that the church was actually open when I visited. So often churches seem to be locked these days. I enjoyed being there by myself too 😊
@@Tudor_Travels Sadly they are, but such a joy when the door opens :)
Hi Tudor Another fabulous video😊 What a lovely church and fascinating to hear Disney used it. Those old pews do look very uncomfortable but a great view of the rest of the congregation We love to have a look in a church, find it so moving. Hope you are well and having a good week 😊
Have you seen the woods in Ashford *i think* with the creepy dolls? A suggestion
Ah yes Kings Woods. It’s been suggested. It’s a big woods though and I feel I’d need to find the dolls before making the video others it’d feel like walking around a maze 🤣
Wow! That church is a treasure. So surprised that you were able to enter, these days most churches are sadly locked due to thieving etc.
Yes I’ve come across many old churches I’ve hoped to go into and found them locked. A sad sign of the times 😢 When possible though it’s often wonderful to walk around these old buildings to soak up the history.
Many years ago when I was working for a living I had a good friend who first introduced me to the world of stills photography, at this time we all of course used Film Cameras, I used a Olympus OM10/OM4, and he used Canon AE1/A1 Cameras which gave excellent results, but to get these results you had to process the Films yourself and not everyone had the space to do this as at the time the procedure was very tiresome and took a lot of time, hence the demise of Film for Digital and at this time we Photographed Saint Clement Church and inside the Church in a Window alcove propped up on its stand was a very beautiful and very old Violin, which I believe was stolen at a later date, now I'm going back decades, and M/s Jarman lived at Dungeness in the Black House as It was formerly known, from where he sadly died, great video more like this please most enjoyable, regards, Colin.
Wow that’s a great connection. Isn’t it strange how we (the general public) have so many connections to places?
I lived in Pluckley from 1963 to 1968 aged 11 to 16, i used to walk round the village at night coming back from friends and i never saw or heard anything at all.
I’ve never seen anything out of the ordinary in Pluckley or anywhere for that matter and yet there are many who have.
Both the newspaper stories are quite recent hoaxes. The pipes in the brickworks were burning off methane gas from the tip - for industrial and then household waste - that filled in the clay quarries. Otium Lake houses are built on land that has cadmium and lead in from the old Ashford Railway Works that got dumped in the unlined pit. Hope none of them have veggie patches.
Very interesting video about the subject matter, thank you. Your presentation style is awesome, very relaxed and informative. I’m firmly in the Lechmere camp, I can’t see how it can be anyone else with the information we have so far, but, I can see how all those tour guides need to make their money so want to keep the suspect options list open though 😂
It’s strange that no definitive suspect has been named after all these years and all the “evidence” that has been presented to us. And even if a suspect was definitively named, surely the JtR tours would still be popular? It could put a new spin on the tours talking about the subject matter.
@@Tudor_Travels I agree, although I think the mystery and the folklore play a big part in the appeal to a lot of people too :)
Absolutely.
Yes, lechmere is the prime suspect
Love steam trains. Could stand for hours watching them go past I've been saying to Morgs we need to go one. Really enjoyed this 😊 Hope you've had a lovely day
There must be something that draws us to the nostalgia of these old stations and platforms. I’m really glad that people maintain them for our pleasure.
Pitchfork murders there .
Oh I’ve not heard of that one!
Drove past there once even the sign creeped me out ! 😂
🤣
Good morning Hope you are well 😊 What an interesting place, we throughly enjoyed watching this. Ice cream van such a blast from the past for me (Jo) always a lemonade sparkler for me not an ice cream 😂 We have a small transport museum in East Yorkshire and it's great to visit but nothing like this. Hope you're having a good weekend
Thanks Jo. Just a little something out of the ordinary but a nice trip down memory lane!
Hello Tudor. May I firstly say that I enjoyed your video - I've not been up to Whitechapel now for almost 10 years and things change at an exraordinary speed. But, being a "student" of the ripper murders, way back then I did a lot of my own investigations of the original scenes just out of a long standing interest in the story. I believe in the canonical five, and anything else is "just" the Whitechapel murders, and I'll make a few observations here as I go along. You missed a very important location - the corner of Commercial Street and Thrawl Street. In 1888 it was the Queen's Head pub. It was there that George Hutchinson saw Marie Kelly meet the man who was probably Jack. For years, the site was the "Bank of Bilbao", but in 2016, it was being demolished/renovated/who knows, and the Queens Head sign was briefly visible again. Somewhere on the internet (there are so many JtR sites and in this case, I just couldn't find it again) there is a total comprehensive demolishment of the case against Kosminski, which of course was ludicrous from the start, as was the fatuous TV special with the actress from "Silent Witness" and some self important professional pundit. As is the totally absurd premise of Charles Cross/Lechmere. Watch the TV show with some Scandinavian "Expert" and you can almost hear his ridiculous therories crashing to the ground. It's total nonsense. Now, I'm not about to advance any theories, I'm just suggesting alternatives, and I'm not about to put anyone in the frame, but I suggest you have a look at two books: 1:Jack The Ripper;s Black Magic Rituals - Hold on! Before you switch off, this is a book by a crackpot, but he has a point: Consider this (and I'm not about to go trawling through all my books, so I may have some facts wrong here), but; Long Liz was reportedly seen over a considerable period of time around the area of Dutsfield Yard. The descriptions of the man she was seen with and indeed her vary, but in the meantime, Catherine Eddowes gave her name to the police when she was arrested as "Mary Kelly" Eddowes was to be released at about 1am - if "Jack" was waiting for "Mary Kelly" to be released and wanted to be rid of Long Liz, then he had to wait until "Mary" if that's who he was looking for was back on the street before he could despatch Long Liz. Just as he was about to, Israel Schwartz happened by and saw a man throw a woman to the ground in Dutsfield yard. There was a man watching opposite...Are there two people responsible? Meanwhile, "Jack", knowing that "Mary Kelly" has been released, goes looking for her (I think you have your times wrong in you your video but no mind) and kills her horrifically. He has now done his job. BUT, he's got the wrong Mary Kelly. Get a map, pinpoint the sites of these four murders, and you will find a perfect diamond shape pointing at Mitre Square. This is not random killings by Kosminski, Lechmere or anyone else. And it's not copycat killers.Tell me I'm wrong... Finally, look for a book called "The Jack the Ripper location photographs - by Philip Hutchinson. Not a JtR book, but an amazing detective work which finds an actual photo of Dutfield's Yard, and evidence of the first ever Ripper tourist All the best from Peter
An incredible video is so interesting, from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks very much 🙏
