Rhodes Grand Hotel

The first video for the Ordinary Bloke YouTube channel was a guide to the Grand Hotel in Rhodes.

 It was mainly created using stills from the hotel and from Rhodes town itself, but also included a map to show how to go from the hotel into the old town (which took us three days to fully work out).

The hotel has some really good features such as the three outside restaurants and pizza bar. They make a good place for snacks during the day or an alternative to the buffet restaurant.

There are two outdoor pools, the main one at the back (illustrated on the video thumbnail above) and a quieter one at the front, plus an indoor pool. Whilst we were there (September) we never saw a single soul in the inside pool.

The bar has a great outdoor seating area where there's live music most evenings.

Location: Nikiforou Mandilara 52-68, Rodos 851 00, Greece

Nidd Hall, Warner Hotel

Image
We have visited a number of Warner Hotels over the years and each has its own character. Nidd Hall is on the same lines as Thoresby but smaller. That can be seen as either an advantage or a disadvantage. The location is great, just over 4 miles to Knaresborough and just under 5 to Harrogate. Also, you're less than 20 miles from upper Nidderdale in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Magic Videos

I've been fascinated by magic since I was a small boy, but it has only been in the last 3 years that I have begun to study and practise the art myself. It helps to video my attempts so that I can look at them critically from an observer's perspective. It's also great to be able to show the videos to fellow magicians to get gratefully received constructive criticism. I began to increase the number that I have recorded, so it seemed better that I should put them into their own separate channel - Ordinary Bloke Magic.

Oxford

Oxford is a unique city, a mixture of the ancient university and the modern. On our visit there in 2018, we snapped a few of the usual iconic buildings and also some off the beaten track. The city is well worth a visit, but expect: Lots of tourists everywhere you go. Entry fees for just about every building, college, museum etc.
