    Hi Ben, thanks for this awesome video of the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Krakow. Really enjoyed seeing the Cathedral with the Salt Chandeliers and the intricate wall carvings. That very high content salt water was sure an unusual Blue and Green color.

    Another great watch Ben, I wasn't quite expecting it to be as spectacular as it turned out to be. Winter trips are always a great way to punctuate the winter gloom and I think you hit the jackpot with the last few videos. On another note, I really don't get why this stuff isn't getting promoted more by the algorithm - viewing numbers for the last few videos seem to have fluctuated widely despite them all being excellent. I understand from your comments that this could be the last video for a while, I really hope this isn't the last of your content and we see some of your fab output again in the near future? For now, I'll just watch some more of your back catalogue ! Cheers - Steve

      Yes.. a shame, there are super cheap flights from Leeds though I’m sure? Anyway I visited for a day in 2019, and I don’t think there is anything in Bratislava really…
      However, it would a handy place to stay to explore Vienna just next door :)

    You made another good report. It's good to find something valuable and informative in the sea of ​​stupidity on the YT platform. I regret that so few people appreciate your work. People who have nothing to say and only make stupid faces and drink cocktails have a huge reach. Is this a sign of our times, or maybe it has always been like this?

      Thank you for the nice comment! Interesting question… I think it’s a sign of the times unfortunately. But also silly, extreme and dramatised content unfortunately captures the attention and is more marketable!
