Unfortunately I was there before opening time but it is very popular😊

Getting their priorities right 😊

Both cities are well worth a visit, very picturesque and, Ghent in particular, very cycle friendly.

I am always amazed at the craftsmanship in these old buildings. Parts of the Town Hall date back to the 1400's well before electricity and tower cranes!

Thanks Johanna 👍🏻

Thanks Peter. A very well kept village with plenty of colourful houses and many thatched roofs.

@@davidvines8141 I have been to England just once. A week with school, being 16 years old. Been to London and some surroundings. What I do remember, there were milk bottles in front of the houses in the countryside.

@@postcardsfromgermany When I was a child virtually every household had milk delivered to their doorstep by a milkman. The milk bottles had foil tops and it was not uncommon, particularly if you lived in the country, for birds to peck through the tops for the cream that floated to the top of full fat milk. Nowadays with everyone having easy access to a supermarket the sight of a milkman on his round is very rare!

@@davidvines8141 Good old times... 😉 nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I miss those times to be honest. I don´t like supermarkets and all the mess capitalism created. Supermarkets are on top of that. Pure evil.

It looks like a very nice place to live. Nice that the High Street doesn't get any through traffic and the few people I met early on that Sunday morning were all very friendly😊

Thanks Lisa. it was early on a Sunday morning, nice and peaceful👍🏻

Thanks Peter. I like most forms of transport but I admit that I do have an affection for Railways. I have traveled to Dresden, Trier and Koblenz in recent years for rail galas and have visited the Museum of Technology and U-Bahn museums in Berlin. 😊

@@davidvines8141 Ha! Lucky you, I am planing an U-Bahn series on my channel at the moment, starting next year. We have 175 U-Bahn stations here in Berlin, I wanna go in every one of them and starting a video there, then make a photo walk in the surroundings. I haven´t visited these museums yet. I was infront of the U-Bahn museum a few weeks ago, but didn´t go in. Maybe I should next time. I do like the U-Bahn stations here, the architecture, the diversity of each of them. The craziness of some. It´s really special. I think starting photo walks in there, speaking on a bench there, showing the station, making photos there, would be a good start into every video. 175 vids is enough material for 2-3 years and I think its a great way to discover the city.

@@postcardsfromgermany That is a great idea for a whole series of videos and, as you say, a great way to discover and showcase Berlin. When I travel I often hop on a tram or U-Bahn or S-Bahn and get off at random stops in whichever city I am in to have a look around. That is how I found the U-Bahn museum by chance when I got off at Olympiastadion. I then visited the Stadium, which in turn led me to seek out what remained of the 1936 Olympic Athlete Village the next day. As I say, I never tire of Berlin!👍🏻

@@davidvines8141 Sounds great! I´ll think about it for some time and then just do it.

Cheers Paul.

Thanks Paul. I was lucky with the weather and timing. As it was the only train running it would have been a long wait for it to make its next round trip had I missed it.

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed it. Oakham really is a very nice little market town. Have a nice weekend 👍🏻

Thanks Peter, Oakham is in an area that doesn't see much tourism and has therefore retained it's traditional charm rather than becoming commercialised. The clocks go back 1 hour in UK this weekend so will be getting darker earlier! Enjoy your weekend 👍🏻

@@davidvines8141 here as well... dark season beginning Saturday night... 😣But yeah, it is, what it is... Still pretty sunny here every day. Nice, but a little rain walk would be nice as well... 😉

Thank you Emelia, glad you enjoyed it. More walks coming soon!

Thanks Peter. My first time in Switzerland. I was due to fly to Geneva and then travel by train to Zurich and fly back from there but Easyjet cancelled my Geneva flight at short notice. Consequently I flew Ryanair to Basel instead and have rescheduled Geneva/Zurich for next year.

@@davidvines8141 You´ll enjoy it! Geneva, Zurich are nice, but touristy... Lucerne, Lugano, Locarno, Ascona. Absolutely world class... Deeply in love with all of those. Zermatt is expensive, but like no other place in the world. Oh David, nostalgia comes over me and a feeling of going there... 😉 it´s a beautiful country. You can fill up card after card there...

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thank you Johanna, glad you enjoyed it. There are some other nice villages in the New Forest and I will be posting videos of them over the next few weeks. I also am a fan of Postcards from Germany 👍🏻

Thanks Lisa 👍🏻

Thank you 👍

☺

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed it. I have been doing photo walks around Europe for a few years but it was only when I bought a GoPro earlier this year that I started recording video walks. I really need to upgrade my computer as it takes ages to render 4K videos on my current laptop!

@@davidvines8141 It looks really good David! Yeah, the computer thing... I had the same problem. Bought a Macbook Air M1 I think two years ago and it works fine. The 4K 60 takes a while but the 4K 30 exports really fast. I need to upgrade in 1-2 years as well. I wish these machines would serve us 10 years without any decrease in power. Or at least 7. But it is what it is... 😉

@@davidvines8141 Do you have a website concerning these photo walks or an instagram?

@@Thunderer0872 VHS is another thing that has dissapeared into the past. I have transferred all the tapes I had that were worth keeping to digital👍

Not a great start then, but they have given great service over the years.

Thanks for your comment. Like you I much prefer this "older" style of documentary.

Cheers Paul☺

Glad you liked it!

Thanks Paul
