those are the headlines here on bbc news. now on bbc news, the travel show. hello and welcome to the travel show from bruges in belgium. coming up on this week s programme the families fighting to keep tradition afloat. if you open it up like amsterdam or venice, that would kill the charm. ..the woman proving there s no one size fits all traveller. i wanted to talk to you about being a plus sized person who loves to travel. ..and taking swimming to the extreme in west africa. obviously, i feel tired. ifeel tired all the time and my muscles are aching. but i also do experience a lot ofjoy.
i mean, obviously, i feel tired. ifeel tired all the time and my muscles are aching. but i also do experience a lot ofjoy. i mean, there s really breathtaking sights that you re able to see that are even better than if you were in a kayak or in a boat because you re right there in the water and you feel so much more. so much closer. i also even in a way like it when the water is rough because i don t feel afraid. i m just able to feel the energy of the water. and it s an extremely energetic time. so i really enjoy that.
being on the boat and me swimming in the river. and i havejust. just 18km left to go to reach the estuary where the volta river joins the gulf of guinea. or perhaps one way of getting closer. this one, sorry. this is the one i was talking about. ok, so we re here and we re trying to aim for the point where we almost hit the ocean. and so if i measure the remaining distance left, we have between 15km and 16km, or 17km maximum. so she s going to swim the first 12 and then do the. for the next two hours and then do the final five after an hour s break. i experience a number of different feelings and emotions when i m swimming and afterwards, too. i mean, obviously, ifeel tired. ifeel tired all the time and my muscles are aching. but i also do experience a lot ofjoy.
