Hi everyone! I’m back with another travel vlog for you today!
I thought it would be fun to find the cheapest overnight city break I could out of London for a night. After some researching the cheapest I could find including travel and accommodation was the wonderful city of Bristol!
This video contains a review of travelling by Megabus from London Victoria - Bristol & what it’s like to stay in the YHA Hostel.
I loved exploring this vibrant city & will definitely be back. Hope you enjoy!

You have to be one of Britain's best ambassadors!! This time, you presented how much you can see and learn on a limited budget. I love how you can just step into the shoes of an average Joe and be comfortable, no matter where you go! Kudos!

Bristol is good choice Mr C. Lots to see and do. I live in Exeter and have family who live in Bristol. I visit often and love it. They also do the same thing with me in Exeter. We haven't got a big suspension bridge over the Exe, but we do have a little walking bridge...locally we call it the wobbly bridge as legs really do feel wobbly. 😅

I lived in Bristol in the 60's as a child before moving to Weston-super-Mare. After leaving school I worked in the centre of Bristol at what is now a Holiday Inn, but was then the TV Licence Records Office. Even in those days (1979) the docks were still fully working as docks. I used to pass the SS Great Britain twice a day on the bus. In those days it was just starting its restoration journey. Have been back fairly recently, and will be going again in September where I shall be able to see Concorde.

Looks like a fun little break. We used Megabus about 12 years ago to go to New York City (6 hours away) and it was great, the price was way cheaper than what it would have cost us to pay tolls and try and park. The only part we didn't like was where we had to catch the bus out of NYC, it was in the early days and they really hadn't come up with a great system just yet.

Such a lovely vlog Iwan. I’ve used Mega bus here in the states when traveling to visit my family. This was when my knee was so bad, prior to knee replacement. I just couldn’t do the drive. So it was convenient and inexpensive to visit my family. It’s about a six hour drive. Most times I paid under $4- usually $2. If I reserved a seat an extra $1. The buses weren’t always the most comfortable, however, I would say for the money I didn’t mind! I really enjoyed this format of doing inexpensive local trips. Well done! Enjoy your Wednesday Donna
