after sharing photos and a video from their trip on
Instagram and YouTube, their travel bloggers These Guys Britain Tim
they were sent an email outlining several breaches of the

guidelines that media and content creators are expected to follow
when they visit the area. So she said, there's like
there's like twenty twenty finable offenses that have come through
and she shared that in her Instagram post and she
wasn't doing that to winge about it. She just said,
I actually didn't know, and I'm letting you know because
if you go and you're doing any of these things,
