in the new technology around 15 celsius, a shade down on this afternoon. on monday, the high forming. it will be a colder night pressure stays in place for most of of the time, known as talkies. the uk. a week whether front generally, temperatures in towns and hollywood's golden age up bringing some rain across parts of cities between two and five celsius, until the late 1940s, followed by countless blockbusters the hebrides, the highlands of but in the countryside cold enough and international movie stars help put historic movie landmarks scotland, 0rkney and shetland, but for patches of frost. 0n like this on the tourist map. another fine and dry day away from but in the countryside cold enough for patches of frost. on sunday, the low cloud, mist and fog that slowly fast forward to the 21st century, the far north. temperatures drifting left. sten claudia northern ireland, and in hollywood, almost downwards a little. but elsewhere plenty of afternoon anything is possible. sunshine —— staying claudia northern ireland. tempted up to 16 celsius. can i be honest for a second? —— temperatures. i don't know what's real orfake here. that is totally fair. so, fire hydrant? real orfake? it depends — that one's real, but sometimes they are fake. very clear answer. 0k, are the trees real? the trees are real. the leaves come and go. this blows my mind. so yes, the trees are real, but in la we don't get true winters, we don't get snow and very rarely get rain. but we do a lot of movies and tv shows that take place on the east coast, where you get snowy winters. we have a greens department,

and they take care of all the greenery on the lot, and they will go up and pluck all the leaves off of the trees and spray it down with flocking, like what you would cover a christmas tree in, to make it look like a real winter. but then say the next production coming in, they are filming springtime or summer scenes, the greens department will go back in with branches of dead leaves, spraypaint them the appropriate colour and add those into the tree, until the real life comes back. it's all about maintaining the illusion. but head across town and building work is well under way for a new museum set to open later this year from the team behind the oscars, the academy. as the building takes shape, they have been busy gathering objects for exhibits to tell the story of the art, and also the science of the movies.

from old cineramic cameras, to ruby slippers and shirley temple's shoes. so this is definitely a head from alien, but i see a strap underneath too? that's right — so this is a headpiece that would have been warned by, we think the stunt person from the film, the design came from hr geiger, the swiss surrealist artist. what's interesting actually is the actors in the film kept asking to see what the alien would look like, and he wouldn't show them. so the reaction that you see on film is their real reaction to seeing him for the first time. well, it is terrifying. it is a little terrifying. all these objects are very cool, but what's the value in keeping it to show people? i think it's really important. cinema is the greatest art form of the 20th century, leading into the 21st century. filmmakers always talk about how they stand on the shoulders of those that came before, so it is important to us that we are looking at the full continuum of moviemaking. from its very beginnings to today, a lot of filmmakers now talk

about how they are using the same magic just with different tools. that sense of history is important to filmmakers and is important to us, and we want to share that with the public. so basically this is the 19th century moving picture entertainment industry. so the mutoscopes came in, and they would go into arcades around the country. the way this works is a little akin to a flip book. so there are about 850 photographs in here that work in a rotary system, you hand crank the film and inside you would see the motion picture move. and it is working right now? you're welcome to try it. "mutoscope pictures presents a wild west adventure." put a dime in? put a dime in the slot.

but it is free? for you it is free. thank you so much. here we go, i am ready for the adventure. while there are other types of film museum in los angeles, the academy museum of motion pictures is the first here on this scale, taking a global look at the history of the medium. 0riginally suggested 90 years ago and in development for 8 years, at a projected cost of close to $400 million, the museum has had support from the likes of stephen spielberg and tom hanks. film is made up of all kinds of other art forms. and so i think to understand it you have to approach it in many different ways. so you have theatres where films can be seen in their original format, as they were meant to be seen. we have exhibition spaces on three different floors, and project spaces for new work that actually takes cinema into the future. so the whole thing just flows together.

covering six storeys and 300,000 square feet, the building's focal point will be a striking rooftop terrace. the building is still under construction, but the view — definitely ready to go. amazing, we are at the top now, on the dolby terrace and we are looking out over hollywood. in 1929 when douglas fairbanks and mary pickford were just starting the academy, they said it's a ready time for us to start thinking about a film museum. and here we are 90 years later, it took awhile but here we are at the top, looking over the hollywood that they saw. it is opening night, the first guests walk in, they have their experience and they leave — what do you hope they say to each other? the first is, i hope they understand and talk about film history. i feel like it is disappearing

a little from our memory. and now is the time to really save it, to save the legacy of film forfuture generations. and maybe one of them that is here will be inspired to become a filmmaker of the future themselves. and if you're planning to come to los angeles, here is our list of things we think you should see and do. if you want something to get your pulse racing, universal studios hollywood has a movie—based theme park covering some of hollywood's biggest blockbusters. and for fans ofjurassic world, a new ride for the movie will be coming later this year. but don't forget, los angeles sits right on the coast. venice beach and santa monica pier are free to explore and a great way to experience california's more laid—back lifestyle. and finally, if you want to get away from the la buzz and see some stars

of a different kind, griffith 0bservatory claims to be southern california's gateway to the cosmos. either day or night, the views over la are well worth a walk up the hill, but get there early because it fills up very quick. still to come on the travel show: simon is back with your e—mails. this week, cutting the cost of luxury trains, and seeing south america by bus. i'm looking for the smell museum. plus it is carmen versus kumamoto. can she see the city's three highlights in less than 90 minutes? 0k level 4, smelly socks. eww! so stick with us for that.

this week, i have advice on cut price great rail journeys through canada. and the best day trips from dubrovnik. first, though, the railway line between the two biggest cities in greece has been transformed, with passengers between athens and thessaloniki set to experience faster, more comfortable journeys. until now, trains on this spectacular route have taken nearly six hours, but the journey should soon be two hours faster. brian 0'reilly is spending four days in the fine croatian city of dubrovnik. he asks: brian, to help you, i've called in some specialist advice. i think for your particular interests, iwould recommend visiting ston, on the peljesac peninsula. it's about an hour's drive outside

of dubrovnik but it's also easily accessible by bus. the town is known for its seaside landscape, oysters and regional wines. the entire peninsula is known for having many hidden beaches but if you only have a day, i recommend checking out prapratno beach, less than 5km outside of ston. next, dinip bajaj from toronto in canada wants to take a great adventure in his home country. i too have been daunted by the prices of luxury tourist trains around the world but often you can find much cheaper, regular passenger trains which cover some of the same ground. canada's flagship train the canadian runs from your home city of toronto to vancouver, and the final stretch from jasper through british columbia duplicates part of the route of the rocky

mountaineer. but i recommend a side trip on the skeena train betweenjasper and prince rupert on the pacific coast. this train, which charges regular rather than luxury fares, threads through some extraordinary scenery on a line once known as the grand trunk pacific. next, peter cooper is planning a visit to the heart of south america. lucky man! puerto iguazu is the town on argentina's side of the miraculous iguacu falls. to reach the paraguayan capital asuncion, there's two possibilities. the first is to travel across to cuidad del este in paraguay. from here, you can board one of the frequent buses, taking as little as five hours. but if you have time to spare, i recommend you follow the river valley south—west through argentina

to the town of posadas, from which there's a bridge across to encarnacion in paraguay — another beautiful place to visit. from here, a bus along highway1 will take you to asuncion, and you'll have had a much more scenic and enlightening journey. finally, lucinda wright says: in this age of trying to reduce plastic, i have invested in a refillable drinking bottle. however, many of the european airports that i've visited recently don't seem to have any facility for refilling this once i'm through security. i also carry a refillable water bottle and i've never had any problem getting it refilled at catering outlets at uk airports. at north american airports, too, there's never a problem because of the abundance of water fountains. the only time i have had problems is in some foreign airports where there's a general distaste for tap water, and the practice is not known. but if you and i keep asking, maybe things will change. that's all for now, but keep

sending me your travel problems and i'll do my best to bring you the answers. for the first time ever, the rugby world cup heads to asia this year. 400,000 sports fans will go and see their teams at 10 host cities around japan, in what is also a dry run for the olympic games in tokyo in 2020. some, though, will be worried about japan's reputation as a place that's tricky to get around if you don't speak the language. and it's a myth that i think is not always deserved. and to show you why, i'll be exploring six of the host cities against the clock. kumamoto lies in the middle ofjapan‘s southern island, kyushu. it's surrounded by a stunning landscape dotted with volcanoes and is popular with hikers in the summer months. so, i've got 90 minutes — the time it takes to play a game of rugby plus 10 minutes

for half—time — to see three of kumamoto‘s highlights. straight. and then... my friend ryuzo has been making a plan for me. so kumamoto is the third most populous city in kyushu, which is the southernmost island of japan. it is well—known for its castle in the city centre, which is beautiful. also the aso mountain on the east. and also, it suffered a great earthquake in 2016 and everything is being slowly rebuilt. so, how easy is it to get around? actually, kumamoto doesn't have a subway system. really? yeah. instead, it has a good old—fashioned tram running around the city, so you're gonna be getting on one of those for your challenges. kumamoto it not that big of a city — it's very easy to get around — so this might be the easiest challenge yet. so i've got 90 minutes on the clock, starting from now. look both ways. i'm starting out at the jewel in kumamoto‘s crown. ok, i have a man meeting me here at kumamoto castle.

konnichiwa! arigato. kumamoto castle was heavily damaged in the 2016 earthquake and is now closed to the public, but restoration is now under way and they have plans to reopen parts of it by the time the world cup arrives this autumn. how bad was the damage from 2016? it's such a beautiful castle, you can see from this side, but i can't believe how much damage there was. as you can see from the other side, it's basically stripped back bare. this is one of the most famous castles injapan. it was built in the middle of the 15th century. but i can't believe how much damage there was.

as you can see from the other side, it's basically stripped back bare. this is one of the most famous castles injapan. it was built in the middle of the 15th century. its black, sloping walls were specifically designed to stop enemies from getting in. arigatou gozaimasu. doitashimashite. down there. thanks. bye! kumamoto‘s speciality is the ikinari dango you can find served in the street. it's a steamed bun full of sweet potato and bean paste. so this is ikinari dango. yes. which one's the most popular? actually, the purple one is very popular for women. ikinari dango itself is like a soul food for kumamoto people. and so, when you miss home, you're gonna miss ikinari dango as well. it's nice and warm and very sweet.

but also very sticky. you are welcome! my pleasure, thank you! ok, i'm now heading for the tram. geez. maybe it was over the bridge, yeah. 0h! wejust made it! so ryuzo said to get on the back. it's quite busy. arigatou gozaimasu. i'm looking for the smell museum. so apparently, i got on the wrong station and now, i got off at the wrong station because i was told it was only one stop! so let's get back on that tram! why didn't you tell me not to get off? oh, no, this is the... this is helpful — it's written in english here.

arigato. i'm a bit confused as to how i'm gonna cross the road. i need to get over there. i think they're waiting for the green man. 0k. you can cross the tram lines! i think it's in the basement. let me see what this sign says. disaster control centre. i think this is it. look, there's a sign with big noses. arigatou gozaimasu. 0k. next, a treat for your nose. you can find the museum of smell in a basement in a kumamoto department store. there are dozens of different aromas to try out, ranging from the really quite lovely to the deeply unpleasant. 0k, level four. smelly socks. 0h! ew! laughs. something's really rank in here.

i guess i should be worried because this one's in a metal canister. 0h! ugh. various faeces and bacteria smell of nature. hmm. you can even test your own smell with this little machine here. so 0—39 is very good. 40—199 is you're a bit on the nose. 290 is the benchmark for you smell like a public toilet. ok, i think i'm 90 today. i don't quite need to do my laundryjust yet, but it's getting dangerously close. stupid machine! and we're done! one hour and 15 minutes. bags of time to spare! i'm getting good at this! well, that's all for this week but coming up next week...

christa scores points in riga as she delves into latvia's soviet past. radio plays crackly old transmission. so make sure not to miss it. remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media. but for now, from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in beautiful california, it's goodbye.
