Rucksacks ready....!

It's so much more enjoyable than the Canadian which just seemed to consist of waiting at Petrol stations to cadge lifts from people. Although I did think Canada was beautiful.
They've been to some lovely places on this trip and it's been good that there were different choices of routes they could take, It got a bit boring in the last one when they kept meeting up or passing each other as there wasn't the choice.

I’m sure one couple in the second series did manage to find an actual job i.e. one that wasn’t in the book, but I can’t remember what country that was in

Jen and Rob (series 2) found one in a hostel by just walking about asking. And Jo and Sam got a free bus ride for one by asking at the station and then cleaning the coach en route. Also series 2.

Can't remember the country though...

There are also the other series that have been done.

Interesting - what is the purpose of your visit to this country?

Can you imagine say a celebrity from say Mali doing this in the UK and "working"

Emma: I thought we'd left the racing behind 🙈

I wonder if they get to use performer / artist / cultural type exemptions for countries where there isn’t an allowance for short periods of work?

eg Norway allows artists to work for up to 14 days in a year without requiring a permit.

I agree that the shoe memorial in Hungary was a very poignant moment.
I'm impressed by the size of the sausages served to Alex and Noel, though , - I thought that'll keep them going!
Plus, each time - how does Bonny look so well groomed?! Hair, make up, eyelashes, nails..she looks like she's travelled by limousine!

I have loved this series, I have loved all the others (with the slight exception of Canada) it really is one of my favourite shows! B&B to win now for me!

I think Bonnie is a make up artist so knows all tricks to look good. Great skin and straight hair help too.

I didn't really know anything about Harry before this programme but I think he's such an arrogant prick. I've really grown to dislike him.

Agree this is an improvement on the Canadian one. Canadians are too nice 😁

Also educational- as we went to Bilbao the other weekend...and decided to get our bus tickets to San Sebastian asap rather than rocking up on the day having seen so many on RATW fall foul of 'sorry that bus is full- next one is tomorrow evening' and it was a darn good job we did as buses were rammed!

My people! Also Team B & B. They’re a world apart from the sibling pair in series 2 (Dom & ?) who were constantly bickering and the sister wasn’t great about Dom’s health issues. For those worrying about Billy’s legs, it said in that series that every pair has a medic with them.

Oh no!!!

Oh.

Oh Billy and Bonnie 😢

Gosh😳

Omg!! I'm crying already 😢 they were my winners

That’s a shame.

Gutted! Poor Billy and Bonny! They so deserved to win.
Really not sure who I am rooting for now😥

Gutted for B&B.

How sad for them. Nice they lead before going.

Noel is quite upset

Oh no, poor Billy and Bonnie.

Oh no! Lovely Noel getting upset as well. Wonder if they'll fly them to Tromsø at the end? Presumably need to go to a funeral but not a parent death or something.
