48 Hours in LILLE, France (Where to go and what to eat!)

ah good morning guys first bit of fresh air of the day we've stepped out the hotel which is just this rather large building behind me actually our room is one of those rooms as you can see gorgeous sunlight again today here in lille our third day and our third vlog hope you've been enjoying the vlogs from this trip if you've missed them go back on the channel after this video or do it you can do whatever you want i can't tell you what to do but if you want to catch up and you haven't seen the first two videos the first one of us arriving leaving the uk crossing but it is warm isn't it crossing the english channel by car on the tunnel driving our range rover to france and then yesterday a whole day of exploring a whole day of food drink wonderful sights yeah just had an all-round good chill day it's been a very chill trip this is our first i actually don't know where are we heading i planned all of yesterday and george said that he wants to plan today yeah we're heading to a coffee shop first of all where are you going i mean let's walk yeah it must be everything's near there make sure i'm not sure but let's walk that way and we'll figure it out it's quite hard pushing a buggy on cobbled streets would you like me to push it's fine i'm just just documenting okay okay fine just telling everyone yeah it's been a chilled trip because this is our first time away abroad outside of our own country with our little baby coda so um we're getting your friends with my baby okay cool so it's been different it's been really good he's such a good boy and we're very very lucky um that he is so chilled and so happy to be here with us he got all insert a little clip quickly he got super excited we were walking through a park and his reaction that you can see right now is him looking at trees how beautiful is that how wholesome and simplistic and nice is that that he can get so excited by trees yeah we are off to a coffee shop this morning there's a good coffee scene here five or six specialty coffee shops although most of them are closed because it's monday the two main days that we're here on sunday on monday and it seems that the whole town closes but it did mean that we could really explore yesterday in like a quite a nice peaceful quiet way so yeah enjoying it hope you're enjoying the vlogs let's get a coffee let's get this day going and see what it brings well hopefully i'll see what it brings as you're panning it right yeah yeah i should know what it's gonna bring well i'll plan it as we go have you not planned it already no payments yeah i'm guessing payment cards okay yes yes get it out made a mistake yesterday of not drinking enough water so we've come in there's an mns food here so yeah very familiar self-checkout trying to read french and we did it so this is actually the train station and just walked out just literally in there to get the water and this is the view you see when you get off the train it's so nice and they've got these little green statue things they're not sure what they are going all the way down at least the main little square we were yesterday and then just the buildings are really cool it looks really i'll say european england's in europe but this does not like england this is like classic europe to us and these little thin stretches of buildings this little spike here is just so nice and again coda's being a very good boy just relaxing taking in the scenes he looks a bit annoyed actually coda join your monkey what's this is that nice wow you're gonna eat it so we found this little coffee shop called coffee makers we just sat here coders pulled up a chair and it's just on this nice little road literally on the road and it's quite pretty here and we've ordered some coffees um well george has gone in to get them here he is oh he's got to take away cups maybe we're going to walk i don't know do you want to walk or do you want to sit it's quite nice to see it sit down yeah okay cheers i think it's going to be a bit hot isn't it but nice little cups so nice so good enough is it okay another coffee shop test coffee makers [Music] oh that's so oh good very nice very nice yeah the americanos in france i don't know why there was a lot less milk sorry not water not can't speak that was the beers yesterday a lot less water they kind of fill it up half but i don't know it's quite cool i quite like it it's good coffee what's that [Music] can you get it what is it [Music] okay success we just came to a clothes store we got a lot of stuff we'll show you in the hotel room in a minute um but we did pretty well we weren't actually intending to buy anything but they've had some pretty good sales on and some really cool brands in here so we both got a few things now it is time for food okay so one of the things we've got it's come it's arrived already it's this chicken bowl with loads of vegetables better and then this sauce on the top so i'll give it a quick try and the second thing that's

nelly we went to a burger place anyway my point is we have burgers everywhere we go and this is hitting the spot okay we just got back to the hotel room and we've realized we've been out for about 10 hours today which okay this is a sofa bed and i'm currently opening it by accident which for us as new parents with a baby that's a long time i don't remember the last time we were out for that long i can see george in the mirror there hello coda's bedtime we're just trying to get him down story and everything before bed he's laughing his head off bless him i said the best time and this this trip's really made us remember how much we love to travel and we've been in our home country for so long now and i think i think it's been like a turning point i think we want to do more travel this has made us want to be away from our town more um seeing more stuff exploring more stuff we felt so much more creative we felt inspired we felt happy not that we weren't happy before but it just gives you this extra like excitement being in a new place and exploring and meeting local people and chatting and trying lovely food and the nice weather and it's cool we've had an amazing trip and we could we do go home tomorrow and this is the last video from the trip so and we hope you've enjoyed the little series and this trip i mean this was our sort of trial run for going abroad with the baby and it couldn't have gone any better i mean touchwiz we're not home yet but i think it's gone incredibly well it may have been a little bit trickier with logistics and timings and having to carry more stuff and things like that but it honestly felt like coders have sort of slipped into what we would be doing anyway as a trial run it's gone amazingly well and we're definitely going to be doing a lot more travel in the near future which is extremely exciting we are going to end this video off here we were going to do a little haul are you wanting to do a haul or not i'm going to do a very quick haul here and i mean quick because i'm very tired and i want to get in the shower and get to bed but um i got myself this little tommy hilfiger slightly cropped t-shirt which is really nice slightly higher neckline as well which thinks it's really cool and i'm gonna wear that home tomorrow also got this which is a levi's denim jacket for myself which is really nice this is nice light washed denim it looks really cool on it's quite oversized sort of 90s style and it's got this nice embroidered colorful pattern and writing on the back and then george got this um tommy jeans jumper which is very cool really like this with the little tommy jeans down the sleeve and all this stuff was like 40 50 60 off it was a really good shot we found this is a huff long sleeve t-shirt nice little pattern on the back and then this i really like very oversized almost sort of la style oh my god it's really crispy it's like crunchy that's really weird in a nice sort of greeny bluey aquary color so very very happy with that of course we didn't forget coda cody got two things on his first little holiday we've got this little elephant finger puppet which he really enjoyed in the shop and also this little um we thought it was cute we went to did we film in the museum the art gallery i don't know if we did i don't remember but we went to um what was it called palais arts or something and which obviously is an art museum gallery slash sculptures kind of thing and there was this little book here there were all different artists we went for this one because i actually painted this picture in my gcse art project and it's in french so it can be his first little foreign language and it's like a pop-up book it's really sweet we just thought it's a nice memento from his first time abroad so haul over oh
