:00:00. > :00:00.Now on BBC News, it's time for The Travel Show.
:00:00. > :00:09.This week on The Travel Show, we're in Bermuda.
:00:10. > :00:12.Where I'll be diving into hundreds of years of nautical history,
:00:13. > :00:15.and finding out how a new project will let you explore these
:00:16. > :00:24.That was, quite literally, breathtaking!
:00:25. > :00:28.We head to Canada's remote Cape Breton for a unique taste
:00:29. > :00:37.And, we'll be meeting the couple on a global honeymoon that they hope
:00:38. > :01:14.We start this week in the North Atlantic Ocean.
:01:15. > :01:20.This tiny collection of subtropical islands spans just 22 miles.
:01:21. > :01:36.But they are ringed by more than 200 square miles of coral reef.
:01:37. > :01:38.These beautiful shallow reefs make this island perfect
:01:39. > :01:49.And because of that, these waters have more shipwrecks
:01:50. > :01:56.per square mile than any other place on Earth.
:01:57. > :01:59.It was a shipwreck that brought the first settlers to Bermuda
:02:00. > :02:02.in 1609, when a group of English sailors were caught out
:02:03. > :02:04.by the deceptive reefs surrounding the island.
:02:05. > :02:15.What was the history of this island of Bermuda?
:02:16. > :02:20.A group of people on a sea venture were travelling to America,
:02:21. > :02:22.you know, in the early days of the United States.
:02:23. > :02:25.So basically, Bermuda was discovered by accident?
:02:26. > :02:29.We're surrounded by reef, so much so that it became known
:02:30. > :02:34.People thought that Bermuda was cursed.
:02:35. > :02:40.There are over 300 wrecks around Bermuda.
:02:41. > :02:42.And some, like this one, are still visible above the surface.
:02:43. > :02:49.This wreck, the HMS Vixen, was deliberately sunk
:02:50. > :02:58.They actually sank the Vixen purposely.
:02:59. > :03:02.They wanted to block this natural deepwater channel here.
:03:03. > :03:05.The British wanted to make sure the Royal Naval dockyard was secure.
:03:06. > :03:17.And they felt this was necessary to keep Bermuda a safe place.
:03:18. > :03:21.It's about 200, 220 feet long, I believe.
:03:22. > :03:28.And it's had, you know, over 100 years of coral growing on it.
:03:29. > :03:32.So it's more of a reef than a boat right now, for sure.
:03:33. > :03:39.And, there's a surprise bonus to the tour.
:03:40. > :04:02.The majority of ships here sank with their cargo
:04:03. > :04:09.Some of the horde has been retrieved by divers,
:04:10. > :04:11.and is now housed here at the Bermuda Underwater
:04:12. > :04:20.Now, what we're going to see here is some of the artefacts.
:04:21. > :04:30.And Bermudans today apparently still have them in their dining
:04:31. > :04:35.They also had a lot of crosses on them, and you see
:04:36. > :04:40.Carrying anything from morphine to some opiates.
:04:41. > :04:43.And I have one here, if you'd like to see it?
:04:44. > :04:46.So I'm holding a piece of history here.
:04:47. > :04:55.I remember when I first stood on a wreck, you can see them
:04:56. > :04:59.Do you know what's so surprising, is how something this fragile can
:05:00. > :05:11.They're like a time capsule, a moment in time,
:05:12. > :05:15.And you can see the way people lived, what they carried with them,
:05:16. > :05:24.Seeing these relics is incredible, but it's just a glimpse
:05:25. > :05:49.And now a team of scientists has begun a project that will document
:05:50. > :06:02.the ships in 3D to reveal more about these wrecks than ever before.
:06:03. > :06:07.This 70-metre vessel, the Montana, sunk in 1863.
:06:08. > :06:12.It was used to run supplies to the Confederates
:06:13. > :06:15.during the American Civil War, and is one of the first ships to be
:06:16. > :06:37.digitally recreated using this cutting-edge technology.
:06:38. > :06:40.That was, quite literally, breathtaking!
:06:41. > :06:49.You just have to snorkel, and there you are, on top of this
:06:50. > :06:51.massive wreck that's been there for over 100 years.
:06:52. > :06:56.And you can see so much detail as well.
:06:57. > :07:01.It's just really hypnotic, you see everything.
:07:02. > :07:03.The boilers, the two large sort of giant cans,
:07:04. > :07:15.for want of a better word, between the two paddle wheels,
:07:16. > :07:17.essentially the steam engines which drove those engines.
:07:18. > :07:21.One steam engine for each paddle wheel.
:07:22. > :07:24.Those were the fastest ships of their time.
:07:25. > :07:26.These things could do like 14 or 15 knots, they were amazing.
:07:27. > :07:29.By using a technique called photogrammetry,
:07:30. > :07:32.the team has been working with the University of California
:07:33. > :07:34.to record thousands of images and build a 3D digital replica
:07:35. > :07:41.It means they'll be preserved for generations.
:07:42. > :07:43.I never really have seen this shipwreck from end-to-end.
:07:44. > :07:46.You can see how big it is, how long it is.
:07:47. > :07:48.So, in one snorkel you can't visually take it all in.
:07:49. > :07:51.But the minute it's laid out in that sort of 3D fashion,
:07:52. > :07:53.using photogrammetry, suddenly you can see it from
:07:54. > :07:57.And you've just taken the full extent of the ship.
:07:58. > :08:01.And it literally brings it back to life.
:08:02. > :08:08.Diving here is a luxury that is out of reach for many people.
:08:09. > :08:11.So the plan is now to map at least 100 of the shipwrecks,
:08:12. > :08:14.meaning that anyone from anywhere in the world will be able to take
:08:15. > :08:20.a digital dive and experience centuries of maritime history.
:08:21. > :08:23.It tells us that everything changes, you know.
:08:24. > :08:27.But actually what it tells me more than anything is kind of when you go
:08:28. > :08:30.in deep to the history of these shipwrecks and you get
:08:31. > :08:32.into the human stories, people really aren't very different.
:08:33. > :08:34.You know, you should read the love letters that people write,
:08:35. > :08:38.You know, they write back to their wives, their concerns,
:08:39. > :08:45.the things they're worrying about, their desires and hopes.
:08:46. > :08:47.It's really not that different to today, you know.
:08:48. > :08:49.And I think that's actually really challenging and
:08:50. > :09:05.Well, from the blue waters of Bermuda to
:09:06. > :09:12.The next time you order a takeaway delivery in the small hours,
:09:13. > :09:16.spare a thought for the people whose job it is to stay up all night
:09:17. > :09:21.Here's the next in our series of films about London after dark,
:09:22. > :09:35.where we meet a man whose job it is to do just that.
:09:36. > :09:40.I'm a late-night food delivery driver.
:09:41. > :09:45.I make deliveries to people who want to eat super late.
:09:46. > :09:48.I cycle at night through all of the iconic places -
:09:49. > :09:53.Tower Bridge, St Paul's, even Buckingham Palace.
:09:54. > :09:57.Because in the daytime you think over there it's
:09:58. > :10:10.And at night you're just all alone by yourself and you can stop,
:10:11. > :10:36.Soho, it's probably the most, the best place you can
:10:37. > :10:39.Somebody's just hanging in the streets, playing music.
:10:40. > :10:54.Yeah, nightlife has its own challenges.
:10:55. > :10:59.You do a long night shift, just on the last minute and you're
:11:00. > :11:02.just looking at the watch, like, OK, it's two
:11:03. > :11:05.Three minutes to go, and then I'm free.
:11:06. > :11:19.Once you've finished a shift, sometimes it's already a sunrise.
:11:20. > :11:24.And it's a very nice and beautiful thing to see a sunrise in London.
:11:25. > :11:27.And then you see all of the people waking up, all the commuters.
:11:28. > :11:29.And for me, it's the end of the night.
:11:30. > :11:35.And I can still experience the sunset.
:11:36. > :11:52.We'll be showing you the first ever Streetview mapping
:11:53. > :12:04.And, we'll be on Canada's Cape Breton Island, finding out why
:12:05. > :12:09.hanging out in the kitchen is where the party's at.
:12:10. > :12:11.The Travel Show - your essential guide,
:12:12. > :12:24.Time now for Trending Travel - your monthly mash-up of the best
:12:25. > :12:25.travel-related stories, snaps and videos online.
:12:26. > :12:31.A joint collaboration between Google Maps
:12:32. > :12:33.and the Anangu Aboriginal tribe in Australia has resulted in the
:12:34. > :12:43.Uluru is a very sacred site for the traditional owners.
:12:44. > :12:45.It tells their creation stories through different
:12:46. > :12:46.features of the rock, which are passed down
:12:47. > :12:51.For us to be able to experience it is really generous of them.
:12:52. > :12:54.And it's not only Uluru that's been mapped and documented
:12:55. > :13:01.If you click on the audio icons on the site, you'll also be able
:13:02. > :13:03.to hear some of the traditional stories and beliefs
:13:04. > :13:10.Fed up of being stuck in a taxi traffic jam?
:13:11. > :13:13.French company SeaBubbles have just tested their first flying water taxi
:13:14. > :13:21.The idea is that you'll be able to order a Sea Bubble on an app
:13:22. > :13:23.to help reduce congestion in different cities
:13:24. > :13:28.The company hopes to have the water taxis in 12 cities by 2018.
:13:29. > :13:32.When a honeymoon becomes a Pan-American overland expedition.
:13:33. > :13:35.That's the tag line to Global Honeymoon -
:13:36. > :13:40.a website put together by newlyweds Dimitri and Sarah from Belgium.
:13:41. > :13:42.Since tying the knot last year, they've been travelling overland
:13:43. > :13:44.across South America, with no planned route and no
:13:45. > :13:56.A lot of our friends are getting married or are buying a place.
:13:57. > :13:58.But, yeah, we want that also, but there is other stuff
:13:59. > :14:02.There's been many highlights in all of the countries.
:14:03. > :14:07.But I think one in particular would be the Rainbow Mountain in Peru.
:14:08. > :14:10.The couple are now on their way to Central America,
:14:11. > :14:11.and will continue blogging about their adventures
:14:12. > :14:17.And finally, how would you celebrate your 100th year?
:14:18. > :14:21.Finland has marked the event in style by opening up
:14:22. > :14:27.It is named Hossa, after the local Sami word for far-away place.
:14:28. > :14:29.The national park offers up hiking, fishing, kayaking
:14:30. > :14:36.It's also home to one of Finland's largest rock paintings,
:14:37. > :14:40.estimated to be almost 4000 years old.
:14:41. > :14:48.The 11,000-hectare park contains over 100 lakes and ponds.
:14:49. > :14:50.This promo video was made by film-maker Riku Karkkulainen,
:14:51. > :14:54.who's glad this land is now a protected area.
:14:55. > :14:56.Thanks to everyone who sent us their pictures this month
:14:57. > :15:05.James Merriman was in Hamburg when he took this photo
:15:06. > :15:12.And Miori snapped this street photography image
:15:13. > :15:15.of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link Bridge in Mumbai.
:15:16. > :15:17.Don't forget to check out our Twitter and Facebook feeds
:15:18. > :15:20.for loads of extra special Travel Show content.
:15:21. > :15:24.Now, let's look at the travel videos clocking up the views online.
:15:25. > :15:27.It's not only Finland celebrating a milestone year in independence.
:15:28. > :15:32.70 years ago, India became its own nation.
:15:33. > :15:39.We selected a couple of film-makers' videos illustrating the country.
:15:40. > :15:44.When I see that, it is a holy place for the Hindu religion.
:15:45. > :15:55.So I kind of wanted to explain that it's just a natural process.
:15:56. > :15:59.You're just making way for the other person to come in.
:16:00. > :16:01.It probably is the most hospitable place that I've
:16:02. > :16:07.And if you see anything you think we should know about,
:16:08. > :16:18.And finally, we're off to Canada for the next
:16:19. > :16:21.in our series celebrating the country's 150th birthday.
:16:22. > :16:24.This week, we're on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.
:16:25. > :16:28.A place rich with Scottish history, dating back to the 18th century,
:16:29. > :16:34.when the community first set up here.
:16:35. > :16:36.And, as we'll find out, some of their traditions
:16:37. > :16:46.These tunes are 200, 300, 400 years old.
:16:47. > :16:54.And we play them probably more here today than they do in Scotland.
:16:55. > :17:02.I grew up listening to music, playing music, dancing to music.
:17:03. > :17:04.And then I married into an extremely musical family.
:17:05. > :17:14.The Ceilidh is basically a gathering of friends,
:17:15. > :17:20.family and whatnot, musicians, guitar, piano.
:17:21. > :17:28.Nova Scotia is a Latin word for New Scotland.
:17:29. > :17:30.So the people that came here brought their culture,
:17:31. > :17:32.their language, their dance, their music, anything
:17:33. > :17:36.that was associated with the Gaelic culture.
:17:37. > :17:46.That means, "A dry lake won't do the fishing".
:17:47. > :17:51.It means you can't do anything without getting wet.
:17:52. > :17:54.If you're going to do something, you have to get involved in it.
:17:55. > :18:02.The people who had her before named her Bella.
:18:03. > :18:05.So I just gave it a Gaelic pronunciation.
:18:06. > :18:13.My last name is MacArthur, which is a Gaelic name.
:18:14. > :18:16.But I don't really know too much about the Gaelic
:18:17. > :18:22.In this community, at least up until the 1950s,
:18:23. > :18:29.And in the early 1900s there was an Education Act,
:18:30. > :18:31.people weren't allowed to teach Gaelic in school or just
:18:32. > :18:34.speak Gaelic in school, it had to be only English.
:18:35. > :18:37.And I think it was kind of dramatic for a lot of people
:18:38. > :18:40.that they were going to school and sometimes being punished
:18:41. > :18:49.It was something like playing the fiddle.
:18:50. > :18:53.There was a fiddle in every household.
:18:54. > :18:57.And no doubt someone in every household that could play.
:18:58. > :18:59.And that died away for a number of years.
:19:00. > :19:01.And people realised what was happening,
:19:02. > :19:07.Now it's, you know, no matter where you go now
:19:08. > :19:15.on Cape Breton Island you're going to hear fiddle music.
:19:16. > :19:21.Probably in the last 15 or 20 years there has been a revival going on.
:19:22. > :19:35.That means, "Young learning is beautiful learning".
:19:36. > :19:42.Not literally speaking, talking, but musically
:19:43. > :19:53.I think the tradition has lasted, I think, longer here in Cape Breton
:19:54. > :19:57.because of the ruralness of the area.
:19:58. > :20:02.Like, this area didn't have power until the mid-1950s.
:20:03. > :20:08.We didn't even have a phone when we grew up.
:20:09. > :20:23.The older people told stories, all of the ghost stories.
:20:24. > :20:26.That piano was always here when I was a kid,
:20:27. > :20:32.And my two brothers played the fiddle.
:20:33. > :20:41.And we just continued over the years.
:20:42. > :20:49.Carpet is no good for dancing at all.
:20:50. > :21:04.But now I learn at a real dance school, and I learned
:21:05. > :21:12.She comes from a long line of Gaelic tradition, music tradition.
:21:13. > :21:14.So it's very important that she keeps that.
:21:15. > :21:36.If she doesn't hold onto it, who's going to hold onto it?
:21:37. > :21:41.Just enough time to tell you about next week's programme, when...
:21:42. > :21:45.Carmen sails off the coast of Hong Kong to try and spot
:21:46. > :21:48.its famous pink dolphins, which were a symbol
:21:49. > :21:55.But now, 20 years on, their future is under threat.
:21:56. > :21:59.Wow, they're so close to the boat, there are so high!
:22:00. > :22:06.But remember, you can keep up with us in real time out
:22:07. > :22:09.here on the road by signing up to our social media feed.
:22:10. > :22:15.All the details should be on your screens now.
:22:16. > :22:52.But, for now, from me, Ade Adepitan, and all the Travel Show team
:22:53. > :22:53.ELO. A bit of a mixed bag this weekend, some rain
