hi everyone welcome back to our channel we just feel a little bit silly don't we john yeah we do
why do we feel silly well at the moment we're looking around for an afternoon tea
and we've googled it we've been to some place and they're like no we don't do that and i'm like it's
on your website anyway and we're just like there's nothing to do in charlotte like honest opinion
charlotte has been amazing i think if you live here it's incredible it's clean it's trendy
there's enough to do as a resident but it's not really a touristy place suddenly it all
makes sense yeah every immigration officer why are you going to charlotte yeah every viewer on every
live stream why are you going to charlotte yeah why are we here it was a cheap flight there was
a cheap flight okay so yeah i mean there's really very little to do but it wasn't the
afternoon tea that triggered it it was the fact that we walked into what is the town center the
the city center this is the city center and it's just it's dead this is it it's just not very busy
you were gonna say oh yeah there's no like parks where you can sit down or leo's saying there's no
like waterfront or anything yeah it's another one it's not that we don't like the city i think it's
if i could live in any of the places we've been to probably charlotte would be the most like livable
liverpool but yeah as a tourist it's like it's not really it's not very geared towards tourism is it
no which is understandable yeah because it seems as if on like sky scanner charlotte's the kind of
place where you change to go to the next location so um it's all starting to make a lot of sense
yeah we are currently on the lookout for anything anything to do anything any i mean we've done the
museums we've done but there's one museum yeah there's also another one that we're
less interested in there isn't that much to go see we're going to asheville so we don't feel too bad
yeah luckily we're leaving here tomorrow so yeah we're going to get up and go yeah that'll be it
yeah we thought we'd seen a nice bar but we think it might be a nightclub imperial must
be a nightclub we must have reached the nightclub end of town where all the youngsters come out on
a saturday night jacking this is where it all happens down these alleyways oh it all happens
i swear you get snogged that's where you get snogged by the bike shows geez yeah where do we go
we just looked at shopping in charlotte and we've been to everett we went south park yesterday we've
done atherton mills yeah like john made a good point he said i think their shopping is all
happening inside malls and i was like you're right let me google it shopping in charlotte
and it's like there's a premium outlet you need a car concord mills there's atherton mill and market
phillips place so like we yeah we've done quite a few of these already the only one we haven't done
is ballentine village which is where the valentine afternoon is also but it's also a way out it's far
okay so it does seem like the kind of place that's quite enchanting by the look of it yeah i mean put
it this way lovely place to live but nothing for tourists i'd say if you're a tourist watching this
don't come to charlotte no but if you want to move here yeah definitely move here oh yeah very
dog friendly yeah it's very clean it's very um liberal yeah but to get just to get a you know
a nice cup of tea and a scone with some jam not possible even just a mimosa just a mimosa really
guys as you can see we are dead in the mid like we're in the dead center right in the middle of
charlotte currently now at the um not metro what's it called what are these called again
tram station yeah and we just thought should we just get the tram home we don't know what
we're gonna do we need to figure out our plan or just get the tram to somewhere that might be
fun i'll see if i can find anything on the map yeah of interest he's looking for afternoon tea
but there isn't a stop called afternoon tea well we just went into the thing on the train platform
and it was all mirrored so we couldn't see in yeah we were like oh really frustrated that machine we
must been there about 15 minutes trying and we missed two trains because of trying and
then we were like joel's like let's just go to that train station coffee shop walk through the
doors and it's amazing like civilization in here this must be one of the places people hang out
yeah on a saturday yeah it must be as you said joel there is a wine yes yeah there is over here
wow yeah probably lovely it seems charlotte has a sense of humour
salty [ __ ] best [ __ ] forever whatever [ __ ] oh that's the adult continent oh adult
or you get sassy i'm speaking hello so aggressive i'm listening yeah well i'm listening
leah they do camera cases camera cases that's my obviously imagine my camera my
bulky ones might have yeah it's so good so good it's nice and spongy in there
yeah lovely that's nice for your pencils must be pencils or makeup the vlog started sad guys we
were walking around what's going on in charlotte absolutely nothing who thought you'd walk into
a station coffee shop across from a tram and find this mimosas are on their way i wasn't allowed to
like take him from the table she said i need to see the other person's id so she's going to come
over and id joel she's coming to see me yeah she's like i'll come see you with the booze and then
yeah the pizza's on its way from this lovely pizza we've customized it we'll show you when it comes
yeah i mean i said joel just get a small one and i've seen the size and they're tiny okay
is it yes oh thank you yeah thank you so much yes i love it i know yeah cause
just prosecco to start off with and then we'll move to the mimosa afterwards you've
done really well here leah was in charge of drinks i was in charge of pizza cheers darling
lovely that's nice yeah that's nice yeah lovely i mean i'm even ready for it to be mimosa
yeah i'm ready for it mimosas up then darling what's the normal ratio just a bit of what
i reckon it's like two-thirds prosecco to one-third orange maybe okay so we'll top up
a second yeah egg [ __ ] are good at mimosas yeah i love it
all right give that a go let's get some no no okay orange juice now this is how you live in charlotte
just keep drinking right okay wow we thought this ice was fake yeah it looks so perfectly

that's stunning just what we wanted this is lovely now for the pizza oh yeah can't wait pizza's ready
oh wow oh my gosh are they because as i went to pick it up she was like can i pick it up
and put it on your hand for you and i was like yes you can i was like i know what i'm lying wow
what is this dip i don't know salsa oh lovely we customized it with pepperoni sausage and peppers
just just mix it up guys why not and what we got here this is garlic knots with some sort of
tomatoey sauce oh my gosh i love the look of the knot sadly there's only three they could
have given us four yeah that would have been nice are we gonna potentially look into the
cinnamon ones for pudding we'll see how we feel i just keep getting i keep getting text messages
from airbnb from airbnb she won't leave you alone now she weighs she's got my phone
number damn it off platform right a couple of mimosas down and we're on the scooters i know
he said we wouldn't do this but it's the kind of decision that i made yeah i actually feel fine
okay sad that's good a lot of pizza yeah yeah we did that and i saw these and i thought why not
we just hope that we can navigate these american roads but we'll we'll make it work
we'll be absolutely fine yeah it says don't ride on the sidewalk well everyone in charlotte seems
to be riding on the sidewalk yeah so i'll do what everyone else does yeah until we get told off yeah
right so i'll press unlock then yeah unlock here we go there she is i'm american i walk everywhere
so the bikes didn't work out one worked and one didn't yeah like joel rode off into the distance
and mine just didn't go so it was probably a sign because we have had two mimosas but
we might try and get more we're gonna have a somnia cookie here we go insomnia cookie
now and then we might get on a bird afterwards once we've had a stomach cookie yeah so that's
a thrilling this this nothing to do in charlotte has actually turned out to be the best day of
charlotte so fun yeah so if you want to watch us try insomnia cookies for the first time
you can become a member a month because we've got a video on there from philadelphia trying
them for the first time thrilling where are we go where is insomnia okay so good these cookies
there's one flavor i'm here for i'm gonna tell if the guy would have travelled from england for this
yeah all the way the guy or the girl i shouldn't have assumed look at all these
things that are here literally nothing so oh my gosh here it is is it closed no stop no
no why this is saturday it says open late i'm gonna knock no excuse me excuse me open
that's not fair it's just our luck
first the scooter's now there's a woman what's a 28 year old what are we going to do
bird scooter well we just got to find a scooter and scoot somewhere
it's just ridiculous brits spend 72 hours in charlotte yeah escalated cockroaches insomnia
cookies shut at this point this is like should we just make friends with those guys
just do whatever they do no i don't like the look of them no i'm joking there's no reason not to
right the escalator is not working is it one that automatically starts
no okay my fear is when you're on a stationary escalator that it will just start randomly
no right let's go we've just walked back through our front door the bird bikes are parked just
out there in case you want them again this evening hopefully no one takes them you never know because
it's an app you can't bagsy a bike if you have that quote if you have that saying you can't
shotgun a bike because it's up for up for grabs to anyone on the app but anyway what a good day i
mean i know the title of this vlog is like there's nothing to do in charlotte but we found fun in the
end which was nice seeing them back at home now bought those in some insomnia cookies then if we
