    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.

    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!

      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!

    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  3 дні тому

      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  5 днів тому +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

Part of us thought our social battery would overwhelmed pretty quickly, but someone explained that it would be fun to attract like-minded people. Plus, we can set it up to have free time outside of planned activities. Long story short, we are leaning toward doing one once it's reasonable within our budget.

      We share a different opinion on them. Sara doesn't like them. I think they are fine. Probably prefer them over regular peas. (That said, I wouldn't go out of my way for peas as a primary vegetable) I compared them to the taste of black-eyed peas
