Virtual outings

MissMarple

I'm housebound and try to explore the world through what is available online. I take virtual walks, go to the theatre, attend interesting talks etc. Join in if you feel like it, or bring your own virtual day trip/night out recommendations.

Tonight I'm taking a walk in Tihany, a picturesque village by Lake Balaton in Hungary.

Oh wow that's a beautiful place @MissMarple😍

My parents like to watch walking tours of London on youtube. Joolz Guide and Tours By Foot are their favourite😊

I watched Prima Facie online recently and was absolutely blown away, what theatre shows have you watched?

MissMarple

Those London tours look great @Mary_Scope and they are on the short side, which is always a bonus energy-wise.

I watched a few comedy plays and Agatha Christie stage adaptations. Mostly by amateur theatre groups as those are often available for free on Youtube.

I'm currently hanging out with the birds in Panama. We are having some refreshing tropical fruits. Fruit feeder live webcam at Canopy Lodge:

My dad used to fall asleep to a YouTube channel he found which was essantially a bus driver's dashcam. It was somewhere quite rural so was just a video of a sedate drive round the countryside 😃

That sounds quite peaceful @66Mustang!

You have reminded me @MissMarple that i used to like the livestreams from Edinburgh Zoo during COVID! I think they may have had a live stream of the pandas as well during that time!

I like watching Orca Cam, if there's nothing going on in the live feeds, then they have highlights. It's wonderful seeing the humpback whales going through too.

I also look on EarthCams & do tours around America. There's a snowman cam on there & it's brilliant seeing the different wildlife going to the various feeders. Sometimes, bears turn up too!😎

ETA: to add links & panda cams

I forgot the panda cams too! The youngters can be hilarious, like crash test dummies! Interesting when it's feeding time for the older youngters.

That sounds relaxing @66Mustang I can imagine it looks nice in spring.

Oh my, @Mary_Scope , that Edinburgh Zoo livestream looks awesome! I've just had a sneak peek at the penguins. There are so many of them!

Such wonderful resources @JessieJ ! I love watching nature and animals in the wild. It's exciting when a squirrel turns up at the bird feeders.

Busy cities have their appeal too. Sometimes I put on Italian opera and watch Venice at night.
