    Bath is my home, I live just a road away from the apartment you stayed at. So amazing to see your take on our beautiful city. My husband and I love to sit in a coffee shop right by the Abbey and watch the tourist enjoy the sights. Thank you for visiting and sharing your experience.

      Oh, which coffee shop? We hung out at Mokoko Coffee (I think that was the name) to catch up on some edits our last morning in Bath

      @ Mjölk the one right by the Abbey, outside seats, usually get the ones facing the Pump Rooms, best tourist watching spots. Mokoko however have the most amazing pastries.

    You can tell Sara is in her happy place. I cancelled my Netflix a few months ago but Bridgerton is one of shows that I will miss.

      Loving it! Netflix just does enough to keep us around. Every time we consider cancelling, another show we want to see drops. This time around it's the new season of Squid Games

    Really enjoyed that, and you guys seem really nice too. Not sure how the algorithm works but very happy you popped up in my timeline. I live not far from Bath in the countryside (or `in the sticks `) as we say here. Love Bath, such a great place to explore. So glad you enjoyed it. Only regret is I couldn't show you some infinitely better pubs than the two pubs you did visit. So many great independent pubs with real history which I think you would have enjoyed.
    Thanks for sharing your experience, will be back for more!

    3. Sarah, since England is your New Zealand, which region/city is your favorite? Have you been to multiple regions? It would be fun to see a road trip throughout England as a video some day!
    4. Bath looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Roger is so funny! Anywhere in the countryside where we can have our own little stone cottage honestly. We road tripped through the Cotswolds. (That will be next week's video), but we would love to see more though. Heard amazing things about York and the coast. Few people also said Wales is worth a visit, too. If we either get or rent a van, I'd love to take a summer and just go all over the country.

    When I travel, I like to have a few "gotta see" things planned. But I also like a fair amount of "wandering time." You know, poking around and exploring the non touristy stuff. So fun!

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As an American that spent a bit of time in East Anglia, we would see Greene King pubs a lot. My understand is that it is a brewery that supplies pubs marked with the Greene King logo with their draft beer. That way with a quick glance you can see what beer that pub serves. There may be more to it...but I think that's the main bit.

    • @TheDetourDuo

    Georgian Terraced houses are often all different inside as all the frontage was built first so potential buyers could see the street layout, the rest of the house was built once sold off plan, often resulting in the buyer making changes to interior layout. One problem was that often the frontage separated from the rest of the house as not keyed in properly. Cowboy builders doing things on the cheap existed even back then.

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fascinating insight into the history of Georgian architecture! It’s amazing how much the design process has evolved over the years, and how some things stayed the same. There's always someone cutting corners.

    A couple random thoughts: Bath always reminds me of Jane Austin movies. I forget the name of the one that takes place there. But it’s fun to see the backdrops in real life. It’s actually a lot more beautiful than I thought it would be.
    Do you have a video that is more of a Q&A? I would love to hear a little bit about your childhood and how you met and fell in love and started traveling together. I started watching you guys on the daily drop videos. And now I’ve been going back and watching your old ones because I enjoy them so much! PS - sorry Tony, but I already miss the beard…😂

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I don't think I've ever seen the movies, but I read the books in college. It's gorgeous though. Next time we do a Q&A video we'll ask around for questions. I'll probably remember this one, but just in case ask it again when we start asking around for questions. Oh, and don't worry about the beard. It was only temporary. Too much gray was coming in, lol
