First time in DERBY England! American Hapa Girls | Half Korean | Half Thai
Good morning everyone! We've had enough fun in London and it's time to head up to Derby. After paying top price for a rail ticket (£35 one way Portsmouth to London) we learned the best and cheapest way to get around is by bus, or coach as they call it. There are fares as cheap as £5 which is about $6! The trick is to book it online in advance. We booked our bus ticket (national express) a day in advance and that's where you find the great deals. Our fares were £5 each plus a £1 booking fee. So £11 total ($13.53) for the both of us!
There may be great deals with the train/rail for booking in advance as well but the bus was the best way to get to Derby. When we bought our tickets from Portsmouth we literally just showed up to the station thinking we could just buy our tickets and get on the train, which we did, but oh man you will pay top dollar for walking up and buying your ticket like that!
Today we woke up pretty early after staying out all night in town :) but we figured it would be ok since we have a 4 hour bus ride to catch up on sleep. Also we found a really decent priced hotel (London city hotel) right in the middle of the city and right next to an underground station and major buses. We caught a bus to take us to Victoria coach station where the National Express coach departs. As you can see in the start of the video, there are passengers on our bus who are commuting to work..meanwhile we are just exploring and getting lost in their country! Once we got on the bus to Derby it was super comfortable and chill the whole way. There's plenty of room, power outlets to charge devices, a restroom which neither of us used but i'm sure it's legit, and i think there was even wifi on the bus if i remember correctly but it might of been a spotty connection depending on where we were. Anyways we slept well and the bus only makes a couple stops. One of the stops is mid way and they allow everyone to get off for a quick bathroom break etc. The bus took us to the main bus station terminal in Derby where we easily found the bus that would take us to our road. We definitely stood out more as tourists in Derby since it's not exactly a main touristy type place like London..plus we asked if we could use our oyster cards on the Derby bus lol! If you're wondering, the answer is no. :)
Once we got on the bus we started looking at the map and our instructions to see how we would know where to get off. One of the riders heard us mention what street we were trying to get to and told us when it was our stop. From there we were greeted by some local Derby cats; very friendly lol. One thing we noticed was the cars drive pretty fast and they don't have time to cater to dumb pedestrians so we had to make sure we didn't stand too close to any curbs haha! We found our lovely family's house and had thee most amazing home cooked Jamaican dinner as you can see. Hands down one of the best meals i've ever had. Absolutely heavenly.
Anyways thanks for watching my videos and joining us on our travels. I have so much footage to put together it's so much fun to see the clips again it's like reliving every moment. The cool thing is we are literally experiencing things for the first time in every clip so we couldn't even remake these moments if we tried! That's what's so fun about recording these adventures. Also, i love finding great deals to travel on a budget and i love sharing this with you guys in case you ever decide to embark on the same journey, you can at least save some money! ;) Thanks for watching ♥️ Please Subscribe and turn on your notifications ^_^, comment, like, share etc. I love connecting with everyone on Youtube, even if i take forever to respond, it's been such a blessing to me to get to know you all!

Neath is a town and community situated in the principal area of Neath Port Talbot, Wales. Historically in Glamorgan, the town of Neath is located on the river of the same name, 7 miles (11 km) east northeast of Swansea.
Historically, Neath was the crossing place of the River Neath and has existed as a settlement since the Romans established the fort of Nido or Nidum in the AD 70s. The Roman fort took its name from the River Nedd; the meaning is obscure but 'shining' or simply 'river' have been suggested. Neath is the Anglicised form.
St Illtyd visited the Neath area and established a settlement in what is now known as Llantwit on the northern edge of the town. The church of St. Illtyd was built at this settlement and was enlarged in Norman times. The Norman and pre Norman church structure remains intact and active to day within the Church in Wales. The Welsh language name for Neath is Castell-nedd, referring to the Norman Neath Castle.
Neath was a market town that expanded with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century with new manufacturing industries of iron, steel and tinplate. The Mackworth family, who owned the Gnoll Estate. The River Neath is a navigable estuary and Neath was a river port until recent times. The heavy industries are no more with the town being a commercial and tourism centre. Attractions for visitors are the ruins of the Cistercian Neath Abbey, the Gnoll Park and Neath Indoor Market.
The previous borough council was absorbed into the larger unitary authority of Neath Port Talbot on 1 April 1996. The town encompasses the electoral wards of Neath East, Neath North and Neath South. Neath and the surrounding area is represented at Westminster by Christina Rees MP (Labour) and in the National Assembly for Wales by Gwenda Thomas AM (Labour).
Neath is served by First Great Western on the South Wales Main Line at Neath railway station, on Windsor Road, in the heart of the town. Services operate to Port Talbot Parkway, Bridgend, Cardiff Central, Newport, Bristol Parkway, Swindon, Didcot Parkway, Reading and London Paddington to the east and Swansea, Carmarthen and West Wales to the west. Services also operate to Hereford, Shrewsbury and Manchester Piccadilly.
