Something to do While in Lockdown. A 51,300 piece Travel Puzzle!

Just WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!! This is a challenge and a half!!!!!

Kodak have come out with a fabulous puzzle here! It is 1.9m high, 8.6m long and weighs a MASSIVE 18.5KG!!! To put that into perspective that's: 
  • A tall Adult, high
  • Around 5 adults lying down, long!
  • The weight of an average 5 1/2 Year old child!!!!!!!!

What an amazing idea! we can't travel the world right now, however we can create hours of Fun putting it together. They estimate it will take around 3 weeks to complete it. This will keep you going through the lockdown for sure, drive everyone crazy and take up a lot of space but what an achievement when you have done it!

It features 27 of the World's landmarks and cities, how much fun would it be to pick the cities in order of where you want to go next and then construct the puzzle in that order? I would choose Prague, Czech Republic first! I love it there! What order would you choose?

They have made it a bit easier than it first sounds by splitting it into each of the 27 destinations which 1900 puzzle pieces per destination so in effect you have 27 puzzles to do and then connect them together!

I have to ask the question once done would you then:
  1. Get puzzle glue and glue it all together and put it on your wall (you would have to have a very big wall to put it on!)
  2. Break it up into the 27 destinations again and carefully put if back in the box? (very sensible)
  3. Break it all up and put all 51,300 pieces together in the box so the next person to try it has a nightmare of a time having to go through all the pieces to put it together? (that would be a cruel thing to do but it would be amusing!!)
​
I have to say it would be 2 for me as I do not have a wall big enough to put it on and you never know I might be the next one to do it all over again!!!

​Let us know what you would do!

It has been a very difficult time for everyone over the last few months and the Travel Industry has suffered a dramatic downturn due to this awful Coronovirus that has effected so many people Globally. There have been numerous cancellations and postponements of people's travel plans with all the different restrictions that each country has put into place for everyone's safety to combat this horrendous virus.

The 'Stay at Home' Measures that The Government have put in place are extremely important and have just been extended by 3 weeks. We take this very seriously and all our team are at home staying safe so that we can get back to the the office sometime in the near future. Working from home is OK however we all miss the office banter!

One thing that we have noticed over this time is that people are feeling optimistic about their future holidays. We have seen a large increase in people browsing our holiday website www.ttceholidays.com looking at different destinations and getting ideas of where they may want to go when we can all travel again!

We love dreaming about holidays and where to go to next and now more than ever I think we all need those holiday ideas giving us something exciting to look forward to!

We have added an overview of almost 100 lovely holiday destinations for you have browse through while you are staying at home. We want to give you some ideas of where you may want to go with the top destinations and average temperatures etc.

Stay safe and well and we look forward to being able to help you with any travel plans in the future!
