It is a bit of an urban myth that we don't have hot weather and we are not used to it. 2020 was like it from April to August pretty much daily. Temps in the 90s happen almost yearly. THe river in Bristol is a tidal estuaury so goes high and low with the tides, like the Thames in London. You also missed the 100's of balloons in the air which (obviously) happens during daylight. You got there for the closing
Your mum and dad are great. Always enjoying themselves no matter what.
hahahaha, they're a great time!
The river was at low tide, Bristol has one of the strongest tidal currents in the world
The Uk has a number of these, you need experienced pilots to navigate the waters.
No mention of the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol designed in 1831, a turning point in the history of engineering, or of the SS Great Britain once the largest passenger ship in the world, both designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Bath is a beautiful city.
Bad luck on the balloon fiesta, they normally have a mass ascent, though the Thursday is the night glow so is always a smaller one. However the heatwave made the thermals too dangerous for the balloons to lift off this year except in the mornings. So you would have to have been there for 7 am!
That explains it! Yeah we went on Friday since we heard there was no mass ascent on Thursday and we were surprised when they also didn’t lift off on Friday! But that makes sense about the heat. We were lucky to actually see them in the distance the next morning when our flight was taking off 😅
Charming video, so glad you are enjoying some of the most beautiful towns in the UK. I live 10 miles from Winchester ( where Jane Austen wrote, revised, and had published all six of her treasured novels) and just 4 miles from Chawton the 17th-century house in which she spent the last eight years of her life. It is now a great museum - and across the road is Chawton House owned by her brother - it now houses the research library of The Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing, 1600-1830 . So Hampshire and of course Bath, great for Austen fans
So cool Mark! We may have to make it out to your area someday! It sounds awesome.
I bet you never thought you would think of the uk being that hot!!
You don't fly hot air balloons at night lol! This was either the opening or closing festival. Hope you had fun though - it looked like a good night.
Matt & Shelby....excellent choices!
That was the balloon opening ceremony… they tend not to fly balloons in the dark… did you miss the next three days fiesta where they flew every morning? 😢. Was a very very hot week
lol the child in me had to laugh at the "hot as the Devils butt" line and the "Mathew!" was a perfect follow up lol
It appears a little planning would help you enjoy things a little more. Balloons go up in the mornings and make a fantastic sight
Fun video! We love the architecture in Bath, and actually really enjoyed the sally lunn buns!
Bristol has some great architecture and food and my two favourite things are the cathedral and the Clifton suspension bridge 👍👍.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Sorry that the balloon festival didn’t turn out as you had hoped. . Cheers! Dara
Thanks for sharing some of your favorite things Dara! Next time we're there we'll have to check those out!
Heatwave - and drought. Hence the river is low, but the Avon is one of the UK’s biggest rivers and has a tidal bore that people use for mad surfing. Hence one minute there’s no water and then the tide comes in … nobody’s pulled a plug or turned a switch.
SO Fascinating!
It's a Tidal river ,don't you have rivers flowing into the oceans,
You didn’t do your research regarding the balloon fiesta. They do take off , but it tends to be first thing in the morning
You went to the night glow the balloons go up in the mornings should have done your homework lol,the river is tidal it goes in and out
You thought hot air balloons were going to take off in the dark, there's tidal rivers in America.
Second highest tide in the world after the Bay of Fundy in Canada.
They didn’t give you the demo of Roman cleansing by oil and strigil? Standards have fallen.
I first went to the Roman Baths when I was 7. I wasn’t impressed by a visitor’s dog who peed in the water from a great height, but you weren’t allowed to drink the waters even then as it’s so full of sulphur.
Amoeba, that’s why you can’t drink it.
You should have gone to the boat/ship museum in Bristol
That sounds sounds great! We'll make a point of it next time!
"beautiful nice weather time" merch please
Coming right up!
Hmm don’t touch the water…Dad touch the water 😂
He is cute😍
Sally Lunns has fantastic buns
hehehehe
❤
So, it's not always raining in England!
That’s a myth I’m afraid. The north of England is often overcast but the south is mild all year round. It rains more annually in Paris than it does London..
Which hotel?!!!!
Can’t understand why you haven’t more subscribers
Slowly but surely! Thanks for watching Ed!
I guess you've never seen a tidal estuary before.
First comment 🎉
you never went to Leigh wood in Bristol 😭😭😭😭😭
If you want to fly a hot air balloon at night.Go for it.....
A bizarre balloon festival
dont touch the water sign ........TOUCH DAT WATA
You need 3-4 days in Bristol, you can do Bath in 6 hours. PS Bath is a shithole outside the centre
Never trust a Yank
Americans: please stop calling universities schools, and please stop calling football soccer.
Any other cultural differences that make you mad? Apparently you are still sore about losing the colonies.
