Well, neither Spielberg nor the Cohen brothers, nor PBS nor even the BBC have called &#8211; so for me, it is back to the day job. There is no doubt travelling is better in person and the net is now filled with an increasingly large number of these &#8216;virtual visits&#8217;. It is just not the same when you can&#8217;t hear the river below the bridge, taste the cheese, or sip the wine in person; I get that. Maybe the most I can hope with these videos, is to inspire you to get back on the road as soon as conditions permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PLEASE SHARE WITH ANYONE YOU THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN WATCHING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, take a final 8 minute break out of your day, sit back and press <strong>PLAY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thank you so much those who have watched all three episode and especially to all who pressed &#8216;like&#8217;
