    I love watching travel vlogs by Americans visiting my country and appreciating it.
    I have been to America myself many times, I do find Massachusetts to be similar to England and parts like Wales, Nova Scotia Canada is very much like Scotland, we got it all in one big Island.
    I would recommend joining the National Trust and English Heritage this gives you unlimited entry to all the attractions and free parking.
    I like the music, it's very relaxing.

      Hi Colin! Thanks so much for watching. We are so glad you enjoyed it. We are In Massachusetts right now actually and would agree, they feel a bit similar.
      I hope we can be back to the UK soon!

    Loving your enthusiastic videos. You're giving me a renewed appreciation of my own country. I was born and raised in Bath and now live just 20 minutes from Stonehenge. And Glastonbury is my spiritual home. I visit regularly. You went to the Hundred Monkeys. You should have gone to the Rainbow's End Cafe. The best veggie cafe in the whole of the south west. The food is awesome!

    It’s actually nice to see Americans exploring outside their own country. Many Americans don’t own a passport which is so weird for us Europeans. Travel broadens the mind and you learn so much about other cultures..you get a sense of who the indigenous people are/were.

    Did you know:
    Many many years ago when Stonehenge wasn’t the tourist attraction it is now , many builders of the time came to the site and (don’t ask me how) stole the stones used them as hardcore for the foundations of buildings, roads & walls.
    It’s only now that we appreciate antiquity and that’s why Churches, religious buildings, tombs Roman villas and medieval castles still exist from that time period.

    with the water in bath you might get a rash (non itchy) when first drinking washing in it i think because of the mineral content don't worry about it it doesn't last long

    Why was there an American flag sticking out of the wall(pole) in the Bath Abbey, is that significant? Does anyone know ? it just seemed a bit random.

      They got through it, a first night rest would have been preferable, something to consider for next time maybe, I did some red eye flight from UK to Florida and picked a car up, having driven in USA before, it wasn't a problem after a strong coffee however as soon as I got in my motel room I slept like a log.

      The answer is probably unique to each traveler. We certainly met people from lots of countries doing a similar trip. For us, we knew we would never in our life get to see all of these places if we only went to one or two a year. We chose to do some in bulk bc we wanted a great big adventure and get a taste for lots of different places. Thanks for watching!
