this is a lot of food. hello and welcome to this week's the travel show, where we'll be taking a look at some of the stories we have covered recently that go to show that hopefully the world is starting to look a little more familiar after two years of travel restrictions. and over the past couple of months, while it does not mean business entirely as usual for the team here on the show, we have been dusting down our suitcases and getting back on the road. well, it won't come as a great surprise to

learn that i am an australian, although i have lived for most of the past 20 years in the uk. but at the start of the pandemic, when travel restrictions came in, it meant that i wasn't able to get back and see my family in melbourne for the best part of two years. so, luckily, in recent months things have changed, as you will see. thankfully, after a late start, australia really did a fantasticjob in terms of getting vaccinated. a bit of a heart. kind of. i won't be working as a barista any time soon. victoria, my home state, has already reached 90% vaccination, which... yeah, it's quite emotional for me because... ..it has meant i can go home. so... she exhales. it is going to be a lot of tears in the next few days. laughter.

this is very exciting. very exciting. although i have completely lost the knack of how to pack. i used to be like, pew, pew, pew! i could be packed in 15 minutes and now i'm like, "oh, god, what is the weather going to be like?" hot, is the answer to that. i have to wait a little while while my test gets checked, but i am like... i just want to go. tannoy: in the interest of safety, parents - are advised not to travel with children... so there has been a bit of a curveball in the last few hours. i havejust received notification that a quarantine has been reimposed to some extent. so, it was quarantine—free travel, now it is 72 hours of quarantine upon arrival and having to be isolated from my family, so the joyous reunion is maybe off the cards.

i don't really know what is going to happen, how i'm going to be isolated within my family home, if that is possible. do i need to get a hotel? i also need to get a permit to enter the state of victoria, which, despite my research, i havejust found out about, so it is getting a bit complicated. i guess the joys of travelling during covid. well, let's go to gate. eek! laughter. oh, man, i am so excited. i don't even care if i have to quarantine, i don't care. that's me. 0k, can you remove your mask for me? of course. thank you. 0h! i have just checked in and i have just seen the "melbourne" on the sign.

welcome on board flight ten down to darwin and onwards to melbourne tonight. we are just about to head off. and i am so excited. she gasps. jackpot. i am on a long haulflight. three seats to myself, yes! it was this low—lying kind of stress because it meant... ..if something happened to someone at home, instead of being 2a hours away, 36 hours away, maximum, now you just couldn't get home. it wasn't possible. about 15 minutes away from landing now. after a very long flight and a quick stop in darwin.

and we hope you have enjoyed the service on board today. we look forward to seeing you on one of our aircraft here soon. eek! clapping. laughter. guess who is out of quarantine! laughter. yeah!

well, i am out. iam free! i am out of quarantine at long last and it has given me a bit of a chance to reflect on what it has meant to come home. mwah! missed you guys! yeah! my word, we are lucky to live in a time where — in usual circumstances — you canjump on the plane and 2a hours later be on the other side of the world. in my case, i can be home. and i think the pandemic has sort of shown me that in past years i have probably taken that for granted. oh, just... it feels normal to be able to do that. and is not necessarily something to be taken for granted and i think going forward, i will feel fortunate every time i get on that plane. children exclaim. come on. laughter. oh, you are so heavy! well, that was me finally

heading home a couple of months ago and i'm happy to report that most of the travel restrictions have now been lifted, so both citizens and visitors can head back down under. next up, we are heading off to qatar, host nation of the fifa world cup, due to take place there later year. due to take place there later this year. it is said that soccer was first brought to qatar in the 1940s and �*50s by expat workers in the oil and gas industries, but when rajan headed there injanuary he discovered a sport that has a much longer history in the region. if it is a real taste of bedouin culture you want to experience, thenjanuary hosts a month long falcon festival called marmi. they chatter. if you had to compare being a spectator at a football match and a spectator here, what, how similar are they? this is more exciting than football?

yes. ali al mahshadi organises the festival and tells me that falconry is more than just a hobby here, it is a way of life, and it is recognised by unesco as living human heritage. one of the most popular events at marmi sees the falconer and falcons getting in touch with their bedouin past. over a two kilometre distance, each falcon hunts a pigeon, replicating days gone by when falcons were used to hunt for food in the desert.

the festival is broadcast to a national tv audience and has impressive prizes, ranging from brand—new cars to huge amounts of prize money. with so much at stake, marmi is a one—stop shop for all your falconry needs, from gps trackers to remote control planes, used to teach your falcons their craft. and it is even a place to train the falconers themselves. with my mouth? yes. 0h. well, so i put my mouth here? yes. wow. yes and the same one by right hand. no, no, no. again. laughter. after the birds retire from competition, they are kept by the falconer or released into the wild to breed, but during their career a

top falcon can be worth up to i million qatari riyals, which works out rapidly at £200,000. out roughly at £200,000. long one, long one. where is the long one? there it is. and tight, tight! tight! more, more, more! thus. 0k, all right? thus. finished. done it! i am a successful falcon handler. laughter. how do you know that your falcon is happy and healthy? this one same as my son. this one same one for my family. i like this one. i give him everything. i take care about this falcon. when he is sick, it should be, i take to an emergency hospital or when he is sick, it should be, i take him to an emergency hospital or something, check this one, what has happened? because i take care about this falcon, same as i take care of my children.

rajan getting to grips with those magnificent falcons there in qatar. well, do stay with us because coming up... we're taking a look at when lucy went in search of the perfect fry—up breakfast in one of east london's fast disappearing greasy spoon cafes... this is a lot of food. i'm going to try my hardest. ..and steve headed to tokyo to check out if hosting the paralympics has helped to make the city more wheelchair friendly. well, that was terrifying. so don't go away. well, after 12 months of delay, the tokyo olympics and paralympics finally went ahead last year. and they proved to be like none other held before, with hardly any spectators allowed to watch the athletes compete. despite that, they still pulled massive audiences online and on tv. now, legacy is a word that is often used in relation to the games, so a couple of months ago we sent steve brown to tokyo, to find out if hosting the paralympics

had made the city a little easier for travellers who use a wheelchair. here's a reminder of how he got on. here in tokyo, the subway system is said to be almost entirely accessible. even if some of the adaptations are a bit bizarre. so this is going to turn into a new wheelchair lift. but they have had to shut everything off to make it happen. so, i come on? you won't find many of these adapted escalators around the subway. normal lifts are far more common. brakes are on. yep, no problem. and that is probably a good thing. 0k. and it is done.

thank you, gentlemen. well, that was terrifying. now it is time for me to leave the capital and board one of their famous bullet trains. so what is happening? so, we're just trying to book wheelchair space for you. right, 0k. some lines saw the number of wheelchair spaces on board treble in the lead up to the paralympics. but it takes a while to find me a space. it is turning out to be quite a faff, i think. they recommend that you book it all up in advance, to save all of this, you know? that doesn't work if you don't know you are travelling until an hour before you need to travel. all sorted. wow.

well, here we go, then. i am heading down to japan's southernmost spot, 0kinawa, which is made up of more than 100 subtropical islands. it is a popular holiday destination because of its year—round warm temperatures. and back in 2007, it was the first place injapan to make a barrier—free declaration. a commitment towards making travel more accessible to all. so... this foot... 0k. oh, my goodness! surfing is a year—round activity on the subtropical islands. laughter. and taishi is an organiser for access earth, a local charity that

helps people with accessibility needs like mine ride the waves. well, i have never been surfing before. please reassure me. how many people have you taken out already? i have got the wetsuit on. let's make the most of it, shall we? right, let's go. laughter. iam in. well, i have been in for a ritual. now i am going in for recreational. are you ready? yes, iam ready, let's go! whoa. yeah? this way round ? yes. with me safely on the board, the team run through a few basics. ok, so how do i fall down? i go over... yes.

and i push the board away from me? yes, yes, it is better. 0k. so i push away the only thing that i want to grab... laughter. well, i think i've got the peddling. shall i try some surfing? yeah. wahey! well, to finish up this week, we have something for you that is quintessentially british. and we're not talking about afternoon tea or wimbledon. we are talking about the great british

fry—up, fried breakfast. a calorie laden plate of fried eggs, baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, that have filled many bellies and cured many hangovers over the years. but this great tradition is under threat because the greasy spoon cafes that have traditionally served up this dish are disappearing up and down the country. well, back injanuary we sent lucy to a cafe in east london that is determined to keep that great british fry—up flag flying. hey, you must be ned? hi, lucy! hello, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. hhow are you? how are you? i am good, i am good. how are you? i am good, thank you. this caff is a true family affairand it has been passed down between generations since the 1900. my dad was born upstairs in 1925, along with his brothers and sisters. we used to come in here before school, we would come in here after school. it is part of our lives.

it is a really nice vibe in here as well. yeah, we like to keep a good little vibe. it is like when you are... it is like a second home for us, it is part of our lives, so when you come in here you are coming into our home. you get a lot of regular people who come back and they really sort of rely on you. if they didn't did come into the caff, they maybe wouldn't talk to a lot of people during the day. like the older people especially. where the world is getting bigger, you can't know everybody, but in little places like the cafe it is like a real community for people, but there are less and less places like this. the caff attracts customers from all walks of life, even the odd celebrity. gemma collins is reality tv star and presenter, who has been coming to pelicci's for years. i feel that this is like traditional east end here. it has got heritage, it has got culture. you know, if only these walls could speak, i am it has got heritage, it has got culture. i you know, if only these walls could speak, i am sure there has been a lot that has gone on here over the years. -

just that real family feel. it is very rare and . yeah, you know, this is the only place i know, actually, that has got it. j do you think we are beginning to see less of these kinds of places now? there are more challenges, every day there are always new challenges. plus, the price of everything has gone up. we had to put the price up a bit and it is... it doesn't go down well with the customers. we were passed down by our grandparents, but it takes a lot of money to set up a cafe, so not everyone can afford to do that, you need a bit of backing behind you. we keep to ourselves as much as the customers do. yeah. probably more. this woman and her mum, maria, cook home—made food using locally sourced fresh ingredients. but in an area that is rapidly changing and, as more big brand chains move in, the competition is getting tougher. east london and all inner cities, . i think, are becoming gentrified or whatever this word . is that they are using and ijust think the soul is being lost. and it is a case of the little guy

helping the little guys still. - i think that is so important - at the minute, with all these big businesses, but is important, - especially at the minute, to keep looking after one another, the . little guys because fundamentally that is what keeps - the country going, isn't it? with taste buds, you know, kind of diversifying and like we say, you know, culture is changing, food culture is changing... yes. how are you guys keeping up the competition? what are you guys doing differently? people have started to be able to travel a lot more to taste i different things and we realised, oh, actually they're selling more - than egg and chips, but some little things like to change, like i say for examplej that coffee machine. you wouldn't have had it years ago. east end, people - wouldn't have had that coffee, they wanted powdered coffee, frothy milk. _ i used to love it. we have often thought about maybe doing - this and maybe doing that and my mum is like no, and she has always _ been right. do what you are doing and do it well. - this woman is an events chef and food blogger who cooks a diverse range of dishes and knows how modern tastes are evolving. so we are in east london. so many restaurants from all different places all over the world. do you think that is what the younger generation want?

yeah, i think people really do love all the variety and, you know, there are so many people going vegan and, you know, or trying to be more vegetarian. yeah. with all of that, you know, the traditional british cafe is struggling. do you think it holds a place in the future in british food culture? 0h, absolutely. i think they bring people together, serving up that nice warm grub that everybody enjoys. you have no idea how much i am looking forward to eating this fry—up. i have seen it come past me a few times today. bring it all, bring it all. this is a lot of food. lucy there, keeping up the fine tradition of the fry—up in east london. well, that is all we have time for on this week's programme, but coming up next week... i am in the netherlands to find out why more museums are opening their entire archives for public perusal. and poking around this vast gallery in rotterdam, where absolutely nothing is hidden from sight. the fact that everybody can see so many more artworks enables people to ask questions that we might never have

thought about before. and if you would like to catch up with more of our adventures, you can find us on bbc iplayer. we are on social media too. just search for "bbc travel show" and look out for the blue icon. until next time, from me and all the travel show team, goodbye. well, the sun is getting stronger, but that wind has sent shivers down our spines in the last couple of days. today the wind won't be quite as cold. it will be a little lighter, but we have showers in the forecast, some of them selwood

wintry, but still a lot of cold air, notjust wintry, but still a lot of cold air, not just across the wintry, but still a lot of cold air, notjust across the uk, but across many parts of western and central europe, even down to the north coast of africa there and plenty of snow across the alps and eastern parts of europe. but high pressure over us, so that means generally bright weather. he was the forecast for this afternoon, the wind is still blowing out of the north—east around the coasts of east anglia, kent and sussex as well, inland sunny spells, occasional showers and perhaps wintry across the high ground at temperatures top towards the west around the 10 degrees. crucially the winds tonight for very light and with the clear skies it really does mean temperatures will drop like a stone. these are the temperatures in city centres. in rural spots it could be as low as minus seven celsius, even across southern parts of england, so i think scenes like this, particularly in the countryside, early on sunday morning, but the frost should melt away very quickly, that sun is very strong and then we are in for a fine

sunny start to the day, perhaps a bit of cloud building up to the afternoon across england and wales and certainly northern ireland and western scotland and clearly you can see here outbreaks of rain to come for places like stornoway, perhaps reaching glasgow later in the day on sunday. that is the weather fronts weeping off the atlantic and spreading across the uk sunday night into monday, sitting on top of this on monday and you can see the winds are blowing out of the west, north—west, a milder direction, but a lot of cloud without outbreaks of rain as well and temperatures will be really high and despite the cloud and rain we will still get up to 1a in london, around 12 or 13 for glasgow and also for newcastle. there is that change in wind direction over the next few days, so monday and tuesday onwards you can see that cold air being pushed to the north and this milder air on the more southern climes winds all the way from the azores spreading into 7 parts of the uk. generally speaking, the wind it bad week ahead is

looking more unsettled, but for most at least the temperatures will be on the rise. that is it for me, have a good day.
