    Ed, your positivity, humility and generally good vibe set your simple videos head and shoulders above the rest. No BS just genuine information and opinion that we, the average traveller can use. Keep it up, enjoy your time away, keep entertaining us and never change. Cheers from Melbourne 🍻🥖🍷

    You have great humor and lovely accent. Do not feel bad for those hawkers as they try to make a living. They are the true survivors. I had a chance to visit this historical town way back in the 60s as a boy with my family. I did not see many tourist then and the town was so peaceful. Only memory lives on. Life is short. Be kind, be cool, and be happy. Safe travels mate!

    You should check out Kendall Village which is about a five minute walk from pub Street. There’s a place called common ground Café, and Kamon Japanese restaurant, and there’s an Italian restaurant and there’s a Mexican restaurant that has $1.75 tacos on Tuesdays. The Mexican place is called may be later. It’s kind of tucked behind the provincial hospital.
