Beautiful place of culture.
England was once like that
Yes until all the foreigners took over
Sadly England lost a war with no fight to dinghy warriors and its gonna get just worse but i guess its a price you pay for colonisation of others
Karma
@@bro___ccoli1156 I disagree with your premise but agree with your point.
Fantastic to see a place I’ve never been to or actually know much about ! Hope you find a meal you enjoy !
Thank you!
Great Vlog. Like your description of the places you visited. Enjoyed the breakfast scenes. Have a great break.
Thanks so much!
Hi james. My wife is slovak (she is also a subscriber) , So this was a really poignant video. We both enjoyed your walk around and brought great back memories for us. Im with you on the "Bryndzove Halusky" goats cheese dumpling not for me i tried also . My wife likes it and loves the poppyseed gnocchi dish. The food is actully really nice especially my mother in laws when we visit. We are driving over again for new year, about 45 mins from bratislava to a smaller city and very nice. . The language is tough but i can get by with basics now and understand more than can speak and nearly all younger generation speak english. People are very welcoming actually though we both say customer service is a new concept still ... efficient but a bit cold. I greatly recommend the country for a visit and being not well known it is still genuine in many places. Skiing great in winter too , a best kept secret. Recommend you return with Helen and give it a real chance , maybe in better accommodation, it can be found very reasonably priced. Thanks james , gave us a nostalgic evening . Looking forward to where your going next, central europe is great to visit. Stay stoic 😊
Thank you, I loved it and will definitely return with Helen. I'm trying to be more adventurous with food. Didn't know about the skiing, I'll look into that
Top comment imho 👍+1.
@RedHeadNINTY9T9 Maybe the Fish and Chips will be forced to improve under the new pro-Moscow government, or will it be Borscht & Tears (1970s/80s London culinary reference) 😭.
Do not invite him back please these people think they privileged for some reason they think england is so great that everyone wants to live there😂 they class people in low mid working classes they are racist most of them ask you when you were u from second thing they ask is were u going back lol just lazy mentally challenged people nothing great about britain just black people running around with machetes homeless everywhere if you look even in this poors mens video u can see no muslims or blacks or homeless on the streets so tell him to not go to europe you voted out and we dont like loud mouth drunken brits on our streets no thanks
@@andrewrobinson2565what you on about lol russians are not stepping on eu soil ever 😂and you should stick to uk problems we dont need weird brits n they fish n chips lol greasy crap
I must admit I watch these for Helen. She has so much joie de vivre
They're from Barnsley, mr Cooper. No fancy words, if ya do'nt mind.
Tha wot?
She's alright in small doses! 😂
It’s just a church that’s painted blue
Classic love it
We need more influencers like this
Just my take 😂
Looks really nice, good weather, nice one James, cheers 👍
Enjoyed the video great to see you getting around on your own
It’s a nice place, enjoyed the tour.😊
I'm looking forward to the next video. You said this place reminds you of it. I'm guessing it's my favourite as well.
Good stuff jud... really nice place..... brilliant vlog mate 🎉🎉
Thanks 👍
Hard travelling on your own when your part of ‘Jamelen ‘ , but still better than being on your todd in the uk antique dealing mate, chin up and thankyou for the well edited vlog 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
Really enjoy this, love it when you travel around. Great videos. My husband and I like watching. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, glad you like it 😊
Your not on your own James..I can hear Helen voicing an opinion throughout..🤣👍 in my mind..💐
Yes I am. I'm missing him so much 😭 I want to be there too. It looks like a wonderful place. Keep subscribing and watching so I can have more time off and go on these adventures too 😁
I think your very brave ❤ and I think I love your independent vlogs
Top top video mate, you have made me smile. It’s meant to be a cracking place and it looked awesome!! Love the channel pal it’s superb!! …. Smithy
Thanks Smithy, I appreciate that 😊
Fab video buddy, be safe on your travels pal
Thanks, will do!
I thought it looked a nice place, with plenty to do, the streets looked very clean with no litter. Nice to have the beach and the river running through. Look forward to seeing where you go next, loved the Helen pop up too.
Thank you Rebecca
Shame there wasn't a nice plaice 🤔🐟(🤣).
@@andrewrobinson2565 true!😂
Jame's it's great seeing new places with you. I to miss Helen 👍 Looking forward to seeing where we're off to next. Best wishes and safe travels my friend ✌💕
Thank you, I'm now in another beautiful city 😊
David Bradley is 70 today.
Happy Birthday Casper
Modern art, load of tripe! Great video James.👍
Great videos pal, I went to prague and tried the goulash and i must admit it was one of the best things ive ever eaten, id recommend trying that whilst you are in that part of the world 👍
Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow 🙂
@@bythecurb 👍👍
I didn't break Barnsley law, at 1pm, today. Lunch was provided by Brent, Anne and the ladies at the Y-PAS chippy in Kexborough.
Are those fish & chips still nice? The last time I was passing I bought some and they were absolutely delicious.
@asensibleyoungman2978 Consistently delicious. I have food allergies and have never been ill from food at Y-PAS. My family celebrates birthdays, anniversaries and other events with fish 'n chips from Y-PAS. We bring newspapers to put on our laps, flasks of tea and our own cutlery and condiments. We drive into nearby countryside, park up and enjoy the scenery. Why pass Y-PAS? ☆☆☆☆☆
It looks a great place .so clean.I’m glad you took the plunge to just grab a ticket. Well done that man. Proud of you James. 🌅🇬🇧🙋♀️
Thank you 😊
Thanks for that... seems like a lovely city and it's refreshing to see that the people are healthy looking compared to what you see in Canadian big cities which often seem like a collection of the halt, the lame and the fat [whoops, did I say that outloud!]. I did some travelling by myself when younger and it can be very lonely but then again you don't have to cater to someone else's idea of what needs to be seen or not seen,
That looks a really nice place 😊
Resilience and perseverance!
Hi,
Wonderful vlog, looks like a lovely place to visit.
Only one plaice 😂 to get fish and chips and thats Yorkshire 👌
That shopping centre could have been Leeds get out while you can, on this occasion maybe best Helen was at home, in a shopping sense 😊
That room looked like a prison cell hope you slept ok.
Looking forward to your next vlog wherever you maybe 🤔
Take care, hope to see you both soon.
Paul and Joanne 👍 😁
Thank you, Helen hates shopping as much as me, unless it's charity shops 😂
Yer a braver man than me, Gunga Din, tackling that. Hope ya get the reference. He was from your "neck o'woods".
Is that the Rudyard Kipling character?
Just a note on sheep’s milk cheese,it’s nothing like goats cheese,which is definitely goaty,sheep’s milk isn’t like that,the Spanish ones are great,and I think most people would like them.There isn’t much in the way of cheese I don’t like,but sheep’s milk cheeses are my favorites.
dobro jutro James. Great vlog
Thank you!
I hope your next stop is Prague. My favorite place in the whole world, its stunning. Definitely an eye-opener for a Nineteen year old Wakey lad, all those years ago.
Unfortunately it's not but I'd love to go there
that fish looks like those 4 in a pack i buy from icleands great vlog
Thank you, yes that's what I thought!
Awww really want go here on my list thanks james,been prauge loved it n food yummy stews n rich,if u go xmas its beautiful n Charles bridge . Id not like that strong cheese do u think helen would of? Enjoy always a irish bar to found lol
She might have liked it but it was I very strong 😳
Came across your and helens vlogs on u tube keep up the good work guys!
Thank you! Will do!
what a nice place full of culture cracking video James best wishes Phil
Thank you Phil 😊
That reminds me of Deansgate Manchester as you approach it with the music school looking the same as the music school there too.
Great video, following and slightly jealous of your adventures. Hopefully following in a similar fashion when my son is old enough. Think you should do a "how it started video" for all of us with envy?
Just to show it can be done. Run through your initial setup in van. Which if I remember rightly was made from a TV unit? Good luck on your adventures
Thank you so much, that's a great idea. I'll do that 😊
That blue church looks like wedding cake. Any road where's the van ? Supposed to be van life innit ?🤣
Nice one James ,great vlog a nice place ….
Thanks 👍
Just discovered you. Spent all Saturday night with my wife watching them. Loved the Octoberfest😂
Thank you, glad you like them
Great as always regards Howard from Cyprus
Thanks Howard
I would love to see you and bald and bankrupt doing a video together, Mr grump and Mr positive 😂. Love your personality and Helen she is a good sport. Looking forward to Benidorm
He's a legend. Love his videos
Keep on tripping mate.
Hi James, Bratislava looks a nice place, that hostel looked a bit hostile :) I thought it might turn into one of those type of horror movies, £40 though, bargain :) - anyway loved the Vlog, that fish n fries !! say no more ... at least you tried a traditional slovak breakfast buddy and shame Helen could not be there but thanks again buddy, really enjoyed walking around Bratislava with you, see you soon, from your biggest number 1 fan, Alec :)
Cheers Alec 😊
What a beautiful city. You were brave doing all that on your own. Really enjoyed your adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers James ,,,nice one matey,,,as they say you don’t know till you’ve tried it ,,,👍🏽
Hi James's boy . Yet another great vlog . Could you tell thee what that app was you were using to find your hostel location , one with the arrows ???
I can't remember the arrows was just in Google maps. I think I just searched hostels near me and it came up
Hi james loving the blog ,I wish I could afford to go away as much as you ,how long was you there ange
I'm in Hungary now Ange, I don't have any outgoings so it's a lot more affordable and I usually stay in budget hotels or even hostels
Hi James well your hostel wasn’t very welcoming but the city looked ok. Can’t wait to see where you are next video (it’s your favourite city) we shall see. Take care and enjoyed the trip. X
Thank you
Nice vidio James take care
Looks a lovely place😊 Can't say the same about the food though, but fair play to you to trying local foods! Looking forward to where you are going next! I'm going to guess, Vienna? Salzburg? Both are beautiful ❤❤
I love trying new food. I've just ordered some Hungarian Goulash. I'm in Budapest 😊
@@bythecurb Budapest! I'll look foward to seeing your clip!!😊❤
This looks like fun just "wingin it" around Europe. I was looking up the poppy seed noodle dish and it had powdered sugar in the recipe so that's why it tasted a little sweet. That looked like a nice little room on the barge, kind of like living in your van. I like walking the less traveled streets of a city and sometimes just get on a local bus and ride around. Well I'm guessing your next destination will be Budapest, a city I'd like to get to someday. Have fun!
Haha good guess, you got it 😊
Good vid looks a nice place. Not sure on the fish n chips looked dodgy lol ready for next vid from ste n dragon 😳
Great vlog pal, didn't they have owt moist for them fish and chips 😂
😂😂
City looks nice. Food a bit unusual to say the least. Wikipedia says the Blue church was painted different pastel shades initially then they settled on blue. Sorry you had no-one to grumble to. I think we Brits are a lot more smiley and jolly than a lot of other Europeans. The Polish gal at our Post Office never cracks a grin.
Haha that was definitely true of the staff in the Irish pub
Quality...he even better when you 2 are back together...hurry up Helen and clock off 😋😉
Come back helen james is abit dour without you.
Kick a bloke when he's down! 😔
We had a great couple of nights there, if I had known I could have given you some recommendations
That Blue church looked liked a massive fucking bouncy castle
😂😂 Brilliant
City looks clean James… nice sunny weather 👍.. TC man 🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧
It was lovely Kenny
Going to watch later James take care 🙋♀️👋👍
It's just another church painted blue.....James another classic one liner 😂😂😂
Unfortunately she has to work so you're going to have to put up with old misery guts
You are not on your own, we are with you. Thanks for showing us around. ilona 🤩
Thank you ilona, glad you're here with me 😊
Sometimes it's good to challenge yourself. I am trying to guess where you are going next. 😍@@bythecurb
Great video
Looks a great place very interesting
Oh dear those fish and fries 🤣🤣 not really yoekshire or lincolnshire standard. Pensioner special maybe 🤣
Brilliant walking round new places with you, keep it up mate. Surprised you stayed in a Slovakian hostel, you never watched 'Hostel' movie I presume. 🤣
Thank you, I won't stay in a hostel again. I'm too old for that 😂
beautiful place.. can't match our fish n chips though.. looking forward to the next adventure
Absolutely 😊
Well done James!!! 😊
Our modern day Alan Bennett. Still chuckling here. Great stuff James.
Haha thank you 😊
"Is it more expensive I'm from England?" Too funny!
No it's cheaper than England
Aye up good video nice one james
Thank you!
Nice city and walkabout.The best Irish bars are the ones that dont call themselves an Irish bar.Enjoy travels.
I didn't like where you stopped mind ,but it looked a nice olace to visit ,how long are you there for ange you are doing well in your own 😊
I'm here for 3 more days so a couple more vlogs to come
James your a star never fail to surprise us.
Thank you
Lovely place Bratty, though I only spent a day there... I haven't peeked at your favourite town yet. I was thinking Vienna maybe, which's were I was staying and only a short cruise down the Danube. If it wasn't, that's a place deffo worth a visit too. Now I'm off to track down the follow up vid and see if I was right :)
PS, salad has no place on a plate of F&C's, imho.
Just imagine H doing a parody of Like a Virgin by the Blue Church, you'll soon drop off 😂
I like it when you tell us the prices of things.
Another grt video- well done James. Videos with H / better half are even more entertaining but we know she can’t be in all your vids
I know I'm really missing her, hopefully one day she will be able to come on all my adventures
What have you done to me James? I had fish n chips the other day. (Try to limit fish n chips to twice a year). But I found myself thinking about them like you do and RATING them! 😵💫 Enjoyed the video. I could not have stayed in that last place though. It looked completely airless. Sardine in a can sprang to mind. Glad you were going to stay in a hotel next. Phew! 😊
😂 Hope you enjoyed your fish and chips. My hotel is much better thanks
Oooh somewhere I'd never thought of visiting. Looks beautiful but the folk seem, like uou said, a bit dour! Dont think i saw one smiling face. Loved helens wee face popping up, expecially when you had the Guiness...she is missed but youre also doing great when she cant be there. That fish looked a tad suspect...strange shape - we dont have that shape in Scotland 😂😂. Looking forward to your next destination. X
Thank you. Helen feels like she's here with me as I'm calling her every 5 minutes 😂
I’m not sure how true it is or whether just a stereotype, but I’ve read that in countries like Russia people don’t usually smile in public, not because they are miserable but because they have no interest in been insincere. Apparently they are still very friendly but they save their smiles for when they mean it.
@cultfiction3865 thank you!
@bythecurb that's lovely!
@@lynnettemcausland9532 you’re welcome love
You're so like my hubby, miserable git, I love him loads 😅😅look forward to your next video 😊
Haha thanks, I'll take that as a compliment 😊
The city looks so clean & tidy (no litter!)
The chips are like French frites not really what we call chips here!
And the hostel looks like a cell! 🤣
I hope you found something better for the next night!
I certainly did 😊
Thanks. Great video. Love your new found confidence. 😊
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 😊
@@bythecurb You’re welcome.
Hi James, I think that Bryndzove Halusky left a pessimistic taste in your mouth for the day 😂😂 all the best David
Thanks David, I can't lie it was horrible 😂
fantastic a place i would love to go x
It's really nice
Brilliant, really enjoy your videos with or without helen james , you are so down to earth proper barnsley lad. The food looked gross tbh and the room well.......treat your self to a nice hotel in the next video .....im guessing Rome next but probably wrong cant wait to see where you end up. Quick 👋 to Helen....❤
Thank you Carole 😊
Good show James 👍
I remember when you worries about filming yourself. You've come a long way mate. Cheers for sharing. Somewhere most people know nothing about. Have a great adventure 👍🏴
Thanks mate
MMMMmmmmm, if i don`t feel comfortable then i just get out of there. That Hostel? Bloody hell, i would have been outa there faster than a rat up a drain pipe .. Enjoyed so much again as it`s like we are experiencing things together .. Sithee James.
Cheers Kevin
The adventures of james lovely city Hmm strange fish an chips .. yep deffo book hotel 3rd night u deserve it after the hostel they were even saving power on the light bulb lol x look forward to yr next episode ❤
Thank you
Can u show the record shops where u r
Didn't see any
Great video James espesially at 28:46 !!!
What? the end? ☹
Ha ha sorry mate 1:18 @@bythecurb
James, you're a very funny man, Yorkshire dryness at it's best! 😂
John shuttleworth would be proud! Obviously our humour doesn't go down well there. The line, 'is it more expensive for the English' was classically lost! 😂 Although we all miss Helen, you're doing great on your own. I'm sure Helen's so proud of you too. Your tour of the city was brilliant. I like the turn of genre. Watch your back Walk with me Tim! Where's next I wonder? 🤔 🙏❤️
Thank you, that means a lot 😊
🙋♀️ I liked the Barge, nice and clean and at least you had a great sea view - whereas the Hostel was down several dark corridors, no windows - heaven knows if there was a fire - glad you were safe ‼️
But the 'square' (@ 2.30ish) was a big Circle 🙄
😂😂 It was a square circle
I hope you are going to Prague, the beer there is fantastic and cheap.
I was going to but decided to go in the other direction. Will hopefully be visiting Prague soon
That modern art had a few Quaker Houghton Barrels in it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta be honest, Bratislava looks mint mate. Keep doing what ya doing James.
Thanks Gareth, it was lovely
Cheaper than going to Leeds.
Love watching you you’re doing a great job keep them coming 👍🏻
Thank you! Will do!
