In episode 7, the queens of travel chat castles. The ones we've been to and the ones we want to visit. We also ponder what exactly makes a castle anyway (it may be something to do with turrets). We take in everywhere from Glenapp Castle in Scotland and Portmerion's Castell Deudraeth in Wales, along with Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, the inspiration for Disney's classic castle and Bran Castle in Romania, famous for both Dracula and Vlad The Impaler.
Then we discuss the Top 5 musical must-sees according to Trips to Discover - Ireland (all of it), Havana, Berlin, Liverpool and Seattle. But no J-pop or K-pop, and Andrea spots something that might be a bit wrong about Heidi's choice of list.
