Now on BBC News, The Travel Show. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
This week on The Travel Show, I am
in the far north of Sweden to visit | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
the city on the move, literally, in
one of the world's exist urban | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
transformations. The mine is our
heart. We wouldn't be here without | 0:00:16 | 0:00:23 | |
it. We had to Croatia's capital to
take a look around some of the | 0:00:23 | 0:00:31 | |
city's most exclusive addresses. For
ten days of the year, the doors of | 0:00:31 | 0:00:38 | |
these architectural secrets are
flung open to the public so that | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
even commoners like me can go win
and snoop around. And Lucy Hedges to | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
the Southdown is in the UK to
roadtest the latest in travel tech. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
I'm not 100% convinced. I think
hardened hikers. Beginners? And | 0:00:51 | 0:00:58 | |
restocking the nude for the latest
in our global gourmet series. This | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
week, a soup that is considered the
national dish. -- and we stop in | 0:01:03 | 0:01:12 | |
Bermuda. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
We start this week in Swedish
Lapland, in a town some 1300 miles | 0:01:34 | 0:01:41 | |
north of the capital, Stockholm. It
is the jumping off point for | 0:01:41 | 0:01:48 | |
tourists heading further into
Lapland to see the Northern Lights | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
in winter and the midnight sun in
the summer. But what put the area on | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
the map in the late 19th century was
the discovery of iron ore, the most | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
widely used metal on earth. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
All right. We just arrived at the
largest underground iron ore mine in | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
the world. The stats for this place
are staggering. It produces enough | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
iron ore to build 40,000 cars every
day. That's the equivalent of six | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
Eiffel Tower is. Right now we're
540m below zero point. I can feel my | 0:02:30 | 0:02:38 | |
ease the starting to pop. This is
the visitor centre as I'm going to | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
look around. What have you got for
me? The disused part of the mine has | 0:02:42 | 0:02:51 | |
become a tourist attraction, giving
visitors and insight into how the | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
mine has evolved and expanded over
the last century. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
Today's modern machinery allows
miners to blast the incredibly deep | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
levels. Today, we are somewhere down
there, at 1365 metres. Nearly a mile | 0:03:08 | 0:03:18 | |
underground! Yes. That's
astonishing. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
They produce 90% of Europe's iron
ore here, worth billions of dollars. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:32 | |
But for the early pioneers, things
were a lot more basic. So, Ade, I | 0:03:32 | 0:03:43 | |
want to show you how the first
miners lift because when they came | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
here in 1898, we didn't have any
houses for them, so they had to | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
build houses with whatever they
could find in the forest. And it was | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
called and it was draughty. -- cold.
So how many people would live in | 0:03:55 | 0:04:02 | |
this place? Big families. They could
have four, five, six kids and live | 0:04:02 | 0:04:09 | |
in this space. So you would have
seven place in the -- seven people | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
in the family and sometimes they
would take on other people? Yes. The | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
environment was harsh for those in
this life. Could you imagine living | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
in a house like this with
temperatures dropping two -30 | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
degrees? Noway! It must have been
hard for them to survive. Of course | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
it was. Some of them died because
they couldn't get enough food, it | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
was called, it was draughty and for
the small kids, well, some of them | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
didn't survive this coldness. These
days the mine employs 2300 people | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
and there are 800 working
underground, still in quite extreme | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
conditions. Now we are going into
the darkness. We are still at 540 | 0:04:51 | 0:04:59 | |
metres here? Yes, we are. Well, this
is our common deck in the darkness, | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
because the tunnels, it's dark,
where the machines are working. It | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
seems like there is an integer --
interdependency between the mine and | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
people in the city. Well, the mine
is our heart. We wouldn't be here | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
without the mine. Today it's a
bustling town, but the continuing | 0:05:20 | 0:05:27 | |
expansion of the mine has this ever
lies to the ground above it to the | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
point where it it will eventually
sink into a chasm. So the mining | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
company have come up with a radical
solution. They're going to move the | 0:05:36 | 0:05:42 | |
town. That it mounted over their
dominating the skyline is the centre | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
of the mine. In that direction is
where the sinking began. You can see | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
how the Earth has just started to
collapse and what is going to happen | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
is eventually it will spread over
their and everything you can see in | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
that direction, all the houses, will
collapse into that thing called and | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
that's why they have to relocate the
whole town -- sink hole. It's not | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
the first time a city or town has
been moved, but this is most | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
certainly the biggest operation of
its kind and I'm not sure how they | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
are going to do it. In parts of the
city, the bulldozers have already | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
moved in and over the next two
decades large areas of the town will | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
also be demolished. We can't rebuild
the whole town, we can't put too | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
much money here now because in ten
years it's going to be gone. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
And buildings that are too important
to demolish are being uprooted whole | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
and transported a few miles down the
road. And the spectacle is | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
attracting a new wave of visitors. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
It's pricey operation. The cost of
the move is estimated at $2 billion. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:06 | |
We are approximately 1.5 kilometres
from the city centre and what you | 0:07:06 | 0:07:13 | |
see behind us is the brand-new
Townhall. So you're going to move | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
everyone and the buildings from the
city centre to hear? Not exactly | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
everything. About 6000 people will
be moving, because their houses and | 0:07:21 | 0:07:31 | |
apartments will be affected. I've
moved house three times. It's | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
complicated. I can't imagine what it
must be like to move a whole town or | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
city and thousands of people. It's
an incredible project, but we will | 0:07:40 | 0:07:46 | |
move approximately 21 buildings, old
wooden houses, et cetera. Do you | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
believe this will be a better city
once it has moved? I think so, yes. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:58 | |
Because there are so many functions
that will be brand-new. The | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
hospital, Townhall, schools, et
cetera. So I'm very optimistic about | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
it and I also like the location. But
some of the buildings, like this | 0:08:06 | 0:08:13 | |
Gothic style church, are too large
to transport. It's going to be taken | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
down by bit and rebuilt in the new
location. It's been central to the | 0:08:18 | 0:08:24 | |
community for generations. I was
that little because I was baptised | 0:08:24 | 0:08:32 | |
here and then the communion was
here. When I was going to get | 0:08:32 | 0:08:40 | |
married I was here too. Of course I
want to put that further onto my | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
kids. I think it's the most
beautiful building in the world and | 0:08:45 | 0:08:51 | |
just for a couple to walk this
aisle, and everybody is looking at | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
you, and you go upstairs and you see
this beautiful picture, you can't | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
even describe the feeling. And while
it will be spared the wrecking ball, | 0:09:01 | 0:09:09 | |
there are still mixed feelings about
the changes. I would like to move | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
all the old buildings because they
are so nice and they are all, they | 0:09:13 | 0:09:20 | |
are almost 100 years old, and this
is our history. And in the future, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
maybe people will come here not for
the mines but to visit the town that | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
moved. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
Next up on The Travel Show, we had
to Bermuda where fish chowder is a | 0:09:41 | 0:09:47 | |
soup considered the national dish of
the country in our latest Global | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Gourmet. I am a chef at a beach club
in the new day. -- in Bermuda. Today | 0:09:51 | 0:10:05 | |
I will make Bermuda fish chowder, a
very famous local dish. It | 0:10:05 | 0:10:13 | |
originated during the 17th century,
with the first settlers in Bermuda. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:21 | |
At that time, there was not a lot of
refrigeration or any way of keeping | 0:10:21 | 0:10:29 | |
food fresh for a long time, so to
preserve the fish that they used to | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
bring on the island they had to use
rum and sherry peppers to make fish | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
chowder. There are quite a few
vegetables that go into the chowder. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
Peppers, some carrots, some ginger
and don't forget to put celery. And | 0:10:44 | 0:10:51 | |
they have to be all finely chopped.
So basically you have to have onion, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
garlic. The best onion to use is the
Bermuda red onion, which is locally | 0:10:55 | 0:11:04 | |
produced and sweeter than regular
onion. You start by sauteing all of | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
the vegetables you have. The onion
first until it is translucent, then | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
add all of the other vegetables.
Then you add your rum. So you need | 0:11:12 | 0:11:21 | |
to cook off the alcohol. The rum
just puts the flavour in the fish | 0:11:21 | 0:11:31 | |
dish. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
Let it all cooked together. You
normally -- the longer you cook it, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
the better it is. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
I present to you a perfect Bermuda
fish chowder. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
This is delicious! | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Still to come on The Travel Show, we
check out the latest in travel | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
gadgets and navigation aids. My
nappies telling me I've gone a | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
little bit off east but I'm still
near the trail. Plus, Rajan heads to | 0:12:25 | 0:12:35 | |
Croatia where for just ten days of
the year the capital opened its | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
doors to some of the most exclusive
venues. A real person actually lives | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
here? Yes. And they let us just come
in for ten days in a row? So stay | 0:12:43 | 0:12:50 | |
with us for that. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:56 | |
The travel show. Your essential
guide, wherever you are travelling. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:03 | |
This is the South Downs, the UK's
newest National Park. 200 square | 0:13:03 | 0:13:09 | |
miles of hills crisscrossed with
hiking trails and the perfect place | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
to try out some tech. I have agreed
to be blindfolded and driven to a | 0:13:12 | 0:13:18 | |
random spot from where I will find
myself back to civilisation and | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
using only gadgets I have been
given. What is in the bag? In Paire, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:27 | |
we have some stuff that will get you
back to where we have come from, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
safely. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-- there. Also something that is
things don't go according to plan, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
just to make your life a bit more
comfortable. This is your stop. This | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
is where I leave you. I'm heading
back to the Royal Oak, about five | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
minutes. It will be about one hour
on foot for you. One thing. You will | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
find you won't have phone signal.
First up, a GPS watch with a music | 0:13:55 | 0:14:01 | |
player, heart monitor and all sorts
of features. It is the navigation I | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
am particularly interested in. I'm
presented with a rather basic | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
version of a map. It gives me my
trail in all of its entirety. As you | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
can see, the arrow on the map, on
the overview version, tells me that | 0:14:14 | 0:14:21 | |
way. Yeah. That's the way. I'm a bit
confused because there is a trail | 0:14:21 | 0:14:28 | |
that way. Maybe if I walk down Bow
Trail and then geared to the | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
right... My map is telling me I have
gone off-piste. I'm still the trail. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
For someone who uses things like
Google Maps, it is not immediately | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
obvious way to go. I'm not going to
be too harsh on the adventure | 0:14:43 | 0:14:49 | |
because I'm not a seasoned hiker
that the user interface just wasn't | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
as intuitive as I would have liked
and even finding the map that then | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
downloaded for me, it took me a
while. One to many buttons. It does | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
more than this, it has a built-in
heart monitor, council steps, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:07 | |
calories, altitude. I personally am
not 100% convinced. Hardened hikers, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
beginners. A little break. Time to
use the tech Ben Stokes in here. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:20 | |
This comes with a pump, cups and
flask for your hot water. I'm not | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
the biggest fan of espresso but then
doesn't need to know that. Carrying | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
a the flask. It's pretty handy if
you want something stronger, a | 0:15:30 | 0:15:36 | |
portable espresso marker, pretty
handy and easy to use once you have | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
worked out what to do. All in all,
massive thumbs up. Andy. Then has | 0:15:39 | 0:15:48 | |
downloaded something I need. This
app is available on the ILS and | 0:15:48 | 0:15:54 | |
android and you can download
hundreds of thousands of detailed | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
maps anywhere in the world. The
skyline feature is quite cool. If | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
you point your camera in any
direction, it will label it for you. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
It could be points of interest. Not
particularly in mountainous areas | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
critical label mountains as well. If
there is no Wi-Fi or you are out of | 0:16:11 | 0:16:17 | |
phone signal you can rely on your
phone's GPS. Cave eat is the maps | 0:16:17 | 0:16:24 | |
are expensive. -- caveats. This cost
us £24 for this high. That is a lot | 0:16:24 | 0:16:32 | |
of money. There you are! I saw you
look at your watch. You know I got a | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
bit more than a bit lost at some
point. I would always rely on a map | 0:16:37 | 0:16:43 | |
and compass that usually if the
technology works well, it makes life | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
easier. I I think I deserve a drink.
I think you deserve one as well for | 0:16:47 | 0:16:54 | |
waiting for me. Next, Rajan has an
invite to some of Zagreb's most | 0:16:54 | 0:17:07 | |
amazing homes. On a hill is this
historic neighbourhood. It is the | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
oldest district in the city, filled
with baroque palaces and courtyards | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
that were built when Croatia was
part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:24 | |
Today, here are some of their most
grandest buildings. Ten days of the | 0:17:24 | 0:17:34 | |
year, the doors of these
architectural secrets are flung open | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
to the public so that even common
like me can go in snoop around. This | 0:17:37 | 0:17:49 | |
is the courtyard festival where
tourists and locals can see inside | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
the city's walled palaces. Slug it
is one of the organisers. Tell me | 0:17:53 | 0:18:04 | |
about this particular place. --
Slavica. Irma this was built in at | 0:18:04 | 0:18:15 | |
the 18th century. Later, it rebuilt
in the 19th century. -- this was | 0:18:15 | 0:18:24 | |
built. They all lived here until
1947 when this building became the | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
state -- State archive of Zagreb and
this is where the most important | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
documents of Zagreb are kept. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:39 | |
Slavica takes me on a tour through
the narrow streets and tells me why | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
she started the project. This year,
seven of the gated buildings were | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
open to the public. Walking through
the old town which is irreverent and | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
shall area and it is usually quiet
and not -- not a lot of people | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
appear. You see all of these nice
gate and you think what is behind. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
You know there are courtyards but
you don't get a chance to see them | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
as a regular person. Here is how the
idea started. We wanted to open and | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
wanted ourselves to feel the
atmosphere and reinterpret some of | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
the history and give some urban
taste to it and make it accessible | 0:19:24 | 0:19:30 | |
for all of our citizens and
tourists. Some of the courtyards are | 0:19:30 | 0:19:37 | |
now used as to state offices but
others, like this one, are still | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
private residences. A real person
actually live here? Yes, a real | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
person list here. And they let
people come in and lounge about for | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
ten days? Yes, they like us. Some of
them come and have a drink with us | 0:19:51 | 0:19:58 | |
in the evening. There is a famous
actress who lives here. This person | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
is on vacation, I think. It depends.
By night, all of the squares are | 0:20:03 | 0:20:13 | |
transformed into performance spaces.
In ten days, we have more than 70 | 0:20:13 | 0:20:22 | |
concepts so it is every evening. Not
just Croatian music. -- concepts. It | 0:20:22 | 0:20:33 | |
is French, Latin, pop, R&B and
classical. -- concerts. It is a | 0:20:33 | 0:20:41 | |
surreal to see these spaces which
was want home to 17th-century counts | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
and nobles packed. It is the
atmosphere that makes the festival. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:53 | |
This festival is not just about
