This will be a mix of a European Tour by rail covering London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Ljubljana, Venice, Rome, Paris and Edinburgh also visiting the North West of England and especially my old home town of Blackpool with my wife and four of our children. We will be looking at some of our beautiful local hikes and looking around the streets and life of the Okanagan valley especially West Kelowna & Kelowna British Columbia, Canada. Its how people live in a small city in Canada.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach , Line ups around 23 mins, I think their admission model sucks, as it puts off mothers of young children, disabled and the elderley and others who may just want to be with their family but do not want to go on rides.

Tower Fisheries Blackpool great food and amazing value for money. I also took my Canadian kids to see my ex Blackpool Hotel which I sold 19 years ago, its a mess. They are very grateful I sold up and emigrated. Much to my surprise I found out that the New Osterley Hotel is still open and trading.

the town is sunk
Your side of the lake has a micro climate the clouds have to rise to get above rockies, o do that they have to dump rain on the other side of the lake lol which is greener
The Vancouver rain stops in the hills at Hope, en-route to the Okanagan, hence the name "hope its not raining"
Bc stands for bring cash lol
It is so true...
We docked there in my sons boat from the other side of the lake to fill up with petrol had a nice burger lol
Thank you for watching. It's a lovely spot to dock for a bite to eat.
What a peaceful and serene hike in Canada getaway! Nature has its way of recharging our spirits. Thanks for sharing this tranquil escape with us, my new friend. Let's stay connected.
Nice walk, beautiful nature and the views from the top are amazing. Thank you for sharing, have a nice the new week 😊💯💯💯👋 20:03

those kids are cute, not at all interested in what daddy has to say, so familiar!!😂😂
I don't think they target tourists - it wouldn't be wise of the city, don't you think so? It's more of not being mindful of people who use public transport. It was installed in the communist are, it's a heritage from that time and they just don't bother to change it into an automatic system. We have it everywhere in the country, it's not about tourists in Budapest, trust me. It happened to me quite a few times and I am Hungarian. I just forgot to validate the ticket.
The guy who targeted us certainly made his way in a direct line allowing all other travelers to pass as he raced towards us, we were easy prey, it certainly looked like he was targeting the luggage carrying foreigners. He was a shorter gentleman with short black hair, my 12 year old said he was just missing his toothbrush moustache which gave us all a giggle in such disappointing circumstances.
astronomical clock - little blue doors should open and it should start show.. didnt know what id dint happened.. maybe its only in day?
Why you didnt go inside castle or cathedral?
Going to 10 major European cities with four of my children of which 3 are over 16 years old, to go inside everywhere would have been exorbitant. The cheapest ticket in to Prague castle and Cathedral was a total of 2550 CZK and as much as we would have liked to do that, cost was the factor stopping us. Thankfully Prague offers amazing architecture the castle offer beautiful gardens and views and was enjoyed very much by all of us without having to pay to go inside. Many places do offer free museums etc. like London's Victoria and Albert Museum and the Natural history museum and others across Europe and we took advantage of those. If it was just my wife and I, we would have gone inside the castle and cathedral.
@@lifesunsnow wow sorry didn tknow its so expensive. But many musems have zero fee entrance :D
Enjoyed every video , good job)
Thank you, so pleased you enjoyed them
Father of this family did a great job, taking his family for a vacation to Prague.
Thank you
Thanks a lot for the video! I am glad that you enjoyed your time in the Czech Republic, I hope that you will visit us again. Greetings from Czechia
HAAHA,the old folks can hack the heat but the young people can`t how ironic
Kids today have too much screen time, at the end of this European tour they have never been fitter..
Glad you like our city. it was interesting see it from tourist experience:) Hope you will return and maybe visit other places in Czech republic. Have a nice day
Fish and chips looked delicious.Blackpool was amazing 40 years ago but times have changed.The sea front, promenade is still very nice,well kept.
Thank you for the nice, authentic, beautiful visit in Prague. Z.
Drove through Blackpool a few months ago. Kept our foot down hard.
I can’t believe the New Osterley is closed. I’m sure I saw it open not long ago, but maybe I was mistaken.
You did Stephen, it is open, I saw it on your Rebellion upload 3 weeks ago.
great work rob😊
Thanks Chris
great countryside
It was wonderful, I love Slovenia
very nice rob
Thanks Chris
Idiots.
I spent the last 10 days in Prague. Beautiful place and architecture. With locals, you need a bit of time to get used to. They can seem rude and a bit off, but they're warm and friendly once you get to know them.
Sum up Blackpool in one word neglect
That Chippy is cleaner than all my City's put together, and the chips look great 👍
It was indeed spotless and the owners were really nice and friendly.

Dont come back, whos care ;D Budapest is not an arrogant american friendly city...
Agreed nobody likes an arrogant American do they! Budapest is definitely a city who has an anti-tourist agenda and that is fine with me, I just wish I had known that before I set foot on the train.
Amsterdam and Prague are best cities in Europe 👌⭐️
Unfortunately Amsterdam has a garbage issue and it looks unsightly.
i am happy to see , that you like Prague!)
We loved it!
so you have to try game kingdome came ") great czech histori and game
Have a good trip! See you next time! Budapest is beautyfull! 😉
you were talking about title of this video. The movie title is Vacation (1983) with Chevy Chase. Perfect comedy. Greetings from Czech.
Yes thank you.. Greetings from Kelowna British Columbia
Nice to see you enjoyed. In my opinion, from Eastern European cities, Prague and Budapest both hold a special kind of energy.
Unfortunately Budapest had the wrong kind of energy for us.
@@lifesunsnow Yeah, I just saw the whole metro ticket situation. In Prague, the ticket system is exactly the same, but since you had your hotel right in the center, you probably didn't need to use metro I assume. As a tourist you'd likely buy a ticket for the entire day, but there are tickets that are valid for 30 min, 90 min etc. What the ticket machine at the entrance does is it prints the time you entered the metro. So you could buy 10 tickets, use one that day, another one in a week, another one in a month or so - the sole purpose of the machine where you put the ticket is to give the ticket a timestamp. And there are metro employees who randomly check passengers' tickets. The only thing different is if in Prague the guy saw you clearly are tourists and you put in the effort and actually bought the tickets, he'd likely not fine you, just explain to you the system and leave you be unless you encountered a complete pedant. I know this is unpleasant, but don't let that ruin your overall experience. You know, as they say, sh*t happens.
@@FF-wl1oo Yes Sh*t certainly happens, It was just a chain of events no staff at the Metro for advice, the only staff were the enforcement people, they saw we were tourists and made a direct charge towards us, we were easy pray. To top it all as we were getting out of the Metro a dead guy lay there with police and ambulance picking up his stiff body, the next day we climb the Citadel and find its all fenced off, Just a chain of events that has put us all off ever wanting to go back to Budapest. Thankfully Prague was a different story, we really enjoyed ourselves. You got to take the rough with the smooth.
this is not Eastern Europe, but Central Europe
@@Prometheus101 Akorat ze vubec. "Stredni Evropa" je vyraz, ktery si alibisticky vymysleli Vychodoevropani, aby nebyli spojovani s Ruskem, ale je to totalni paskvil. Neni duvod se vyhybat pravde.
As a resident of Prague, the best time to tour in centre of Prague is early in the morning or late in the evening. No one is anywhere and everything is enlightened.
I agree Rupert, Its difficult waking the kids up at 5am that's our only problem, we did do that on our Venice trip without them and it was wonderful.
So you blame the Budapest transport company because you didn't validate your ticket? hmm...
@@jesszumpappini nowhere in the world do you buy a ticket and then have to put the ticket into a machine 5 meters away from the machine you just purchased it from, unless it physically stops you from entering with a barrier then you can put the ticket in to a machine to open the gate. See how this system gets tourists every time because it doesn't make sense.

i think the "troll" head line was turn in to backworlds :)
Prague is beautiful city, but It is very busy city (capital city). U need to visit smaller, historical cities ( Plzeň, Český Krumlov, České Budějovice, Pardubice, Olomouc, Telč, Jihlava) 👍🇨🇿
I was there a week ago - it was hot then 37°C tops on Sunday 11th August. Stayed at the Medos(z) hotel, very nice, near the Oktagon transport hub
Not safe to hike in 35 degrees. Nobody even had a hat on.
It would have been fine if the Citadel had been open as there used to be a cafebar up there. Signs posted or red tape would have been useful. So many more people and groups of people were heading up to be dissapointed.
6500 Kč its cca 393 CAD/260 EUR
Thank you, that was an early morning brain fog moment.. lol
I´m very sorry. I was editing a video at nught, when I uploaded it to ytb, I found out that your video has the same name. So I played it and commented, liked and subscribed. 😉

Great video! I hope you enjoyed Prague and will come back some day. There is so much more to discover in Prague. Greetings from the Czech Republic!🙋♂
I hope so too!
