It includes a phone montage of conference activities (coffee, VR demos, evening parties), visits to London sites (a bun restaurant, the British Museum — notably the Egyptian "Life After Death" room with many mummies — and the British Library, cited as holding 170 million items), and a nighttime Thames dinner cruise with City Cruises that features dinner, live music, a dance floor, and passage under Tower Bridge.

We've spent the last three days at the World Travel Market conference in London and we didn't bring the camera because we were being extremely productive doing travel y business y stuff.
On days that we don't bring the camera, we usually update our Instagram story pretty frequently. So if you don't follow us on Instagram and you feel left out when we don't vlog things, you should follow us. And here is a short, little, little low quality phone montage of the last three days. Starting the day with the award winning barista coffee.
Back on the virtual reality headset.
You think you can go lower than that? Let's try it.
Buddy.
Clap your hands.
Come on.
She can make it. I want some chocolate.
Chocolate concentrated cream and some hot sauce for doing the limbo. We're not sure if every travel conference ends with a big party with food and dancing and music, but this one did every night and we had the best time.
It's been really good. Not only has it been fun, it's been very productive. We've lined up potential partnerships with like a bunch of different companies in a bunch of countries. But Kara told me not to say any specifics because nothing is 100% yet. But it was totally worth our time coming here to London. I hope we can come back every year.
This is Tower H1.
Oyster cart or compound. It is our last day in London, so we're gonna try to do all the things that we didn't have time to do the first few days, starting with lunch.
But the highlight of today is definitely going to be the dinner cruise that we're taking down the Thames. Thames.
Thames looks like Thames, the big river that runs through London.
We came all the way across town for this bun restaurant. It's like an Asian bun, but kind of like a hamburger. It seems very innovative, but it looks pretty cozy in there. So I don't know how much talking to the camera we're going to be doing.
Lunch is pretty good. Little bun burgers are fun.
Now we're heading to the British Museum.
We surprisingly stayed at the museum until it closed. My favorite room was, hands down the Egyptian Life After Death room. There were like 20 mummies in there. And now we're going to the oldest library in the world. Is it the oldest or the biggest?
The biggest.
The biggest library in the world. The British Library.
So this is the largest library in the world because it has 170 million items.
We saw a lot of books, and now we're going to have dinner on a boat.
That's your welcome drinks. Enjoy it and it's going to be table free. Window.
This is my kind of cruise. There's already food on the table.
Looks like some kind of salmon or tuna with salad and shrimp and bread.
Our appetizers were amazing and now the live music is starting, so it's getting pretty loud in here.
Sam.
I am so stuffed from dinner. It was all amazing and now we just got to ride under the Tower Bridge. It's so beautiful at night.
We had never done a dinner cruise before and I'm so glad we finally did one, especially here in London, because that was so much fun. I had no idea it turned into a big party and a dance floor.
Thank you City Cruises for the great evening. Calling it a night.
It was a great last day in London.
I didn't think we'd get Slovakian cheese again.
A whole lot tastes like bacon and jelly and breakfast in my mouth.
