    That cave you saw from the bridge is well worth doing too. You get to it from the observatory building where you did your piece to camera overlooking the bridge. Go through the door at the back not the cafe entrance iirc and there is a reception desk there, pay your fee (again not much iirc) and descend down the steps on the hollowed out staircase through the rock (remember to grab a hard builders type hat on the way down especially if you are tall as I’m only 5’9” and hit my head on low risk ck ceilings in places 😂) eventually after a bit of a climb down you exit on to that balcony you saw halfway up the gorge. That will test your fear of nights 😂 oh and there is a cut out life size figure of Brunel to share the balcony with 👍 you will love it. Great channel btw came across it this morning and as I live in Bristol I clicked 😊

      We will definitely give it a go next time we’re there, we don’t actually like cities and ironically our latest vid in Seville shows why 😂 but Bristol just has such a cool vibe to it we loved it there 😊😊 thanks so much for watching 👍😊

    People can tell you your fears are irrational till the cows come home but if you have a fear of anything then you have a fear, even at 70 I haven't got over my fear of spiders so the chances are I never will and oh boy that s just fine with me! another great informative video Emma and Reese, stay warm and safe you lovely people and a hug for miss Daisy x

    The first time i went over the bridge i was pushed in my pram, walked over many times, the last time i went to Bristol i was 62 and i just couldnt walk over it, sudden fear of heights. Luckily i have an aunt who lives in Bristol shes 95 now, spend many summers in Bristol, this bought many happy memories back. Thank you xx

    • @romanypirates
      @romanypirates  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah heights are awful aren’t they when you have that fear. You’re so lucky to be able to spend your summers in such an amazing place 😊 and also to enjoy that precious time with your aunt. So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for watching us 😊😊xx

    Very well done walking on the bridge. Way out of your comfort zone yet you did it. Brilliant! I've been to Bristol a few times but have never been to the ship. I must visit it. I too love charity shops. Clothes, books, vinyl etc. I love your adventures & I add places you've been to to my list to go to also. Love to you both & your family. Not forgetting Daisy. X

    Better not tell you that the bridge was built using secondhand chains back then, which are still holding the thing up now. Your right about Brunel and Bristol (my home town) as Brunel was a man to push limits many in cast iron and sadly died a bankrupt through all his endeavors. When you look into the SS Great Britain keeping in mind how small and cramped it actually is against how much in those days it would cost to travel in it is a very strange comparison to what would be expected today. Bristol is one of the places that if you cannot find your interest your not from this planet with so much of everything going on at the same time. Great video and glad you enjoyed Bristol.
