Exploring CARDIFF CITY CENTRE with MAGENTA OTTER TRAVELS: DAILY VLOGS UK

I'm meeting some other KZbinrs today - Dara and Ian from Magenta Otter Travels. We meet up in Cardiff city centre. We tuck into a tasty lunch at Pieminister, St Mary St, take a look around the Cardiff Castle grounds, Cardiff Indoor Market and the Victorian shopping arcades. There is also time for an ice-cream/coffee!
You can say hi to Dara and Ian over on their channel, Magenta Otter Travels : / @magentaottertravels

All audio is from inbuilt camera mics only. Coloured and edited with Adobe Premier Pro.
IB = Invisible Boyfriend. He's my boyfriend. He's real, but he's camera shy so you never see him in the vlogs though you will hear him. He is heard but not seen.

I'm Imo and she's Izzy. We're a UK mother and daughter vlogging combo that loves to get out and about and exploring South Wales and beyond.
We're a formerly homeschooling/home-educating family of two based in the UK dealing with the daily challenges of managing Izzy's severe, chronic eczema and her education. Our resourcefulness is tested on a daily basis, but we'd love to share our little triumphs and discoveries with you as we go along.
Imo is a flautist/flutist (flute player), and these vlogs will often take you behind the scenes of the life of a professional folk musician. Stand by for bits and bobs of live folk music and dance as they pop up in our day-to-day lives.
These videos will not generally feature recorded background music, making them extra suitable for people who aren't keen on pop music!
Follow this channel for occasional tips on caring for eczema, content relating to the flute, travel (particularly to Lisbon, Portugal), homeschooling and homeschool mom stuff, folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

It was great fun meeting you, hanging out, and getting scolded for loitering!! 🤣

[@TheBeggFamily]

Piano player in a brothel story was hilarious!! Love Magenta Otter Travels!

[@OutandAboutWithDavid]

2:20 you are welcome Imo. Sad a magnificent tree lost a battle with the strong winds. Does look different not the tree has gone.

[@PlanetImo]

Ahhh thank you so much for that info, Davey. I really like it when I can share relevant info back to the viewers again - it kind of does full circle then, so thanks again for that.

[@WormsEyeView]

Ohh a nice gathering!! How lovely together up with other tubers!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Another fun visit to Cardiff and a lovely collab! A great couple, I will check out their channel! Pie Minister looks incredible btw😋👍

[@kittikoko]

11:16 Ah, floor people, my kind of people. I regularly end up cross-legged on the floor. 😆

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Ian has plantar fasciitis, and can’t stand in one place for too long. What wasn’t shown in the vlog is that the storekeeper came out and kicked us out of the doorway! LOL

[@kittikoko]

@@MagentaOtterTravels Aw, you weren't causing any trouble! Not that we saw in the vlog, anyway... 😛

[@PlanetImo]

I'm a long term floor sitter just because... why not? The floor is a universal seat.

Thanks so much! I'm trying to teach myself how to make it look more 3D... if you know what I mean. I'm spending hours tweaking it all so really appreciate the comment, thanks!

There was so much to see there. The on again off again rain was interesting. The variety of foods makes me wish I lived there. Fun outing, and will go visit their channel.

[@dazza9326]

How funny, I follow Dara and Ian, they're a great couple. I'm not sure how your vlog came up, but it was fun.

[@PlanetImo]

Ah yes, that will have been a recommendation based on your viewing history. It's the KZbin algorithm... I had a lovely day with Dara and Ian and it's nice to meet you. Thanks so much for watching. :¬)

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

You do the loveliest thumbnails!

[@PlanetImo]

Aw, thank you! x

[@JoeKaton]

Oh man. I'll never forget when I met Beakerzer in Seattle. We were up by the space needle, and I left my phone on the table close to where we were shooting. Back when he had his boosted board, he zoomed down and grabbed it. Someone actually found it and hung onto it. I wash shocked naturally because it would have been pawned here for sure.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Looked like you all had a great day out and meeting each other have a great weekend Cheers 🇨🇦🍷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍺🇺🇸

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks 👍

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Also... I had no idea how you found my channel! It was so fun hearing that story!😊

[@PlanetImo]

I thought you might be interested. I'm always curious how people found my channel, too. :¬)

[@WormsEyeView]

I love that story. I really need to try that out sometime!

[@TheThriftyGma]

Good morning from another hot sunny day. We had to run to Costco this morning (next town over), and we were in and out in less than 25 minutes. That included standing in line to pick up hubby's prescriptions. We know the layout of the store, get what we need and leave. No snooping around for us. We were on a mission with our list.. lol What a lovely couple to have met up with in Cardiff. Are they living in the UK right now, or did they travel over from the USA? Did you notice their accent?.. haha. Such a neat name for a shop.. Pie Minister... and yes, the veggies pies looked delicious. That was a lovely walk about..so many neat shops to pop into. Glad you enjoyed your visit, and I agree, it is fun meeting other YTubers. Thanks for sharing.. see you next time.. byeeee 🥰

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

We are currently living in Gloucestershire. In Cheltenham. But that is just for the summer. When we aren’t in Britain we live in Texas!🇺🇸 We hope to be able to spend every summer in Britain ❤️🇬🇧

Loving the music in the Pie Minister! Shame you would get a claim if you had more of it.

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

What a lovely meet up! Shame a bout the weather. The European summer has become so unhinged. Nice filming and editing Imo. I'm a pie lover as well so sat here drooling- needing breakfast even more now. Happy travels. 👍 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

[@PlanetImo]

Aw thanks. Nice to meet you! X

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

GREAT VIDEO!! I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat! Such drama and hijinks.

Did you film in 4K? The opening scene seems to be incredibly crisp and vibrant. Nice video, the quality was remarkable. I really enjoyed it. Cardiff is always wonderful.

[@AxeMoose]

The first youtube meat up in my city happened at a coffee shop. There was 3 of us and all named Dave. We sang the Dave song.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh wow! Impressed!

[@AxeMoose]

There was a place here that made massive ice cram cones that had 750ml of ice cream in them.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh my gosh!

[@StephenandAndie]

found you via @Magenta Otter Travels. We're a little obsessed with Portugal, too!

I'm just off to break the news to my missus that she's an historic monument as she's "been there forever"...as in born 1948!

[@faelismaegnus]

Some new (2) "friends" from Tejas (Texas). Everything is bigger in Texas, even the Anglophiles. (lol) Texas is my next door "neighbor", geographically speaking. They say "Howdy" & we Cajuns say "Ca va bien." Comment ca va, Imo?

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

You callin' me fat? haha

[@AxeMoose]

I've not had a pie like that in 30 years.

[@PlanetImo]

It was delicious. I’m not even that into pies.

What frame rate were you using at the Hayes Island Snack Bar? The lights were flickering. I live on 25fps. (on every camera, including my phone) to avoid those issues.

[@PlanetImo]

I filmed in 50. I’ve got a feeling it exports down to 25. I don’t mind about exporting in 25, I just want 50 in the first place to slow it down if needed.
