Vietnam Keeps Surprising Us First Day in Da Lat
Come on Come on B go ahead don't know what numbers we are seven and eight or something seven and eight yeah okay 78 yeah good morning from nran uh we are just on our way to d right now and uh check this beautiful bus out we actually booked one of the VIP buses we didn't really know what to expect and it's a perfect setup look Luke even fits into the seat he even has a little bit of wiggle room in the front I have room that's crazy not used to that at all and uh yeah apparently you do have um sort of power plug in down here and you get water and uh AC and everything is really comfortable in here so we're super super happy and very stoked to be going to delat because tomorrow actually is going to be my birthday so we booked a really nice hotel and uh we're obviously going to show you all of the ins and outs of uh where we are going to be staying in delot and what the journey is like and so on so this bus here has decent amount of space 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 around maybe 12 people can fit inside of here and uh yeah last glimpses now of n Trang uh we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here it was fantastic actually it was uh to be honest I think it's very underrated uh I never really heard much about this part of Vietnam until we came here uh we literally just randomly picked it off of Google Maps and decided to come down for some good weather and well we would happily stay here for a month or two if we had the chance to um we were very happy with the apartment that we had very happy with how this whole area is and the weather is amazing people are amazing and there's plenty of incredible food to be had pretty much on every street of this area so big big thumbs up for n TR and now we're going to give you guys obviously first impressions of dalat which is a pretty well-known touristy place but not for us it's brand new for us and uh we think we have a bit of a windy journey in front of us they actually told us we need to bring nausea medication which we do not have all right guys the elevation is slowly starting to increase as you might be able to see um the streets are sort of carved in between um The Hills here in the area and uh also the streets are slowly starting to get a little more windy which I find very very cool um to see and uh yeah all of the area is starting to look a little more sort of greenish because obviously down in Yan where we came from uh it's a little bit more dry and hot and like more of the ocean type of weather of course because that's our it is since at the ocean and um we're slowly starting to increase in elevation and things are starting to look a little bit Greener which is really really cool to see and uh my God so excited I'm really looking forward to the wow guys so we have a little bit of a pit stop for around 10 minutes or a toilet toilet break and I don't think there's any more of a perfect setting for that break I'm just currently stretching my legs and uh taking in this absolutely gorgeous view now I have no idea what this particular river is but it looks very very very beautiful and uh the water is actually quite low at the moment because of how dry the weather is here beautiful green rolling uh Hills over there too and this whole area seems to be uh a restaurant of some sort so very nice but uh we're about 90 km now away from dallat and we're very excited to check it out we're going to be arriving relatively early on in the day it's only a 3-hour drive between that Trang to the lat so we will be arriving quite early on so we have plenty of time to explore the lat and then we're going to be there for 3 days so yeah new place this is always the stuff that we enjoy the most oh you guys the views are getting vaster and vaster as we continue further up um it's always so interesting because you sort of have uh Greenery on both sides of the street like this and then every now and then it sort of just breaks up and uh get a nice view and it's like oh my God you don't even know that you have been so high up this entire time uh but really cool yeah I really enjoy this ride even though I don't know if you can hear that the driver keeps honking at the people but the honk the horn is not like it's more like a we're now at the part of our journey where we are basically basically in the clouds we're so high up an elevation that uh cloud is just there basically just there and uh yeah there's uh not 100 m of straight road it's just left right left right left right and also sometimes you have uh like here um all the way down on the left side and then like 2 minutes later you have it on the right side so it's very interesting how we sort of swap positions but yeah it's very windy and as you can see the locals are using uh motorcycles to get around this area because I do believe it's probably relatively difficult to get around if you're living at this high altitude and it still seems like we are going higher guys I think we're finally high enough that we're actually in the clouds right now which is crazy to say Tea Point wow there's a lot of tea plantations actually all surrounding this area so I'm sure you can get some pretty incredible tea with an amazing view well well well so 3-hour Drive later dropped off to our hotel which actually looks like a very nice nice hotel very excited welcome to theat in uh the central South Central Highlands of Vietnam brand new place Let's Go and show you guys our accommodation legs are stiffer than ever yeah let's go and check it out I feel like I have no legs at all so we're checked in being brought to our room now check out this fully golden uh elevator very very cool here's Vincent Vincent oh Vincent shoes on come on take the shoes off of course wow it's very nice yeah beautiful I'm so excited you guys you cannot imagine wow check out this beautiful bed and the back wall I'm in complete a here wow really nice thank you so much for your come on byebye I want to open this hello the lot welcome to the lot wow that's so cool beautiful balcony what a nice place we never really stay in places this nice but because it's Naomi spy we figured we would Splash out a little bit and it's not even really like crazy expensive it's uh reasonable if you think about like hotels in general um I think the nightly cost for this is coming into just under like 50 Euro so like 47 48 per night just for three nights so it's going to be a luxury luxury three nights for the first time in a long time yeah it's so beautiful though and I'm so happy because I'm going to hit the big 33 tomorrow so by the time the video goes live I'm already 33 and uh that's a crazy thought to have but let's have a look at the bathroom wow everything is so fency mans fym I'm really scared to touch things wow our shower oh I can I can see you oh you can close the okay uh the the shower is golden you have a gold shower all of the accessories are like golden all of the metal things so fancy really cute I love it here wow and the whole reason is really why we came to the lot why we decided to go to the lot is um because all of the produce are architecture here is totally different so the buildings the way that this place is constructed very very different to everything that we've seen so far right now we're kind of just wandering in the back alleys of the lot and the way that this is built is basically seems to be wow wow look at that that's really cool uh everywhere I look actually I want to take pictures that's another thing but the way that this is built it seems to be like a town situated in the middle of hills and mountains and you have unbelievably fresh air like I really do feel like I can take a nice big deep breath and it feels fantastic so that's something that we definitely uh we were missing while we were in Hanoi that's for sure uh we found it when we were in niat Trang and now I think it's a whole different level of fresh air and the climate as well it has gotten just slightly less hot it is still beautiful and sunny and uh the people here already seem to be very nice and very very uh welcoming too and this place has come highly highly recommended to us and that's one of the biggest reasons why we came here in the first place very interesting actually to walk around this area because Google Maps sort of just tells you to walk down this these tiny Alleyways and it's like it looks like you need to go left but you don't actually need to go left so and uh I don't know it's a little bit conf confusing because um you have like so many sort of back roads and back alleys that are connecting each other and if you're a pedestrian it's obviously faster to go this way than it would be to go that way so yeah uh that's what we did got lost immediately a lady said no no go this way but she helped us which was really helpful and uh now we're on one of the main roads trying to find a place for food and also get a first feeling of the vibe of theat guys we made our way now into a place for some food and they have quite a expansive menu there's plenty to choose from this is the name of the place just so you guys know where it is that we are they actually have some beer on the menu they have uh soft drinks and stuff like that too coffee tea juice all that good stuff and then they have a whole selection of different types of meats fried grilled everything salads soups um spring rolls stuff like that and everything they literally have a seafood they also have an extensive salad menu and a whole bunch of like special dishes too so going to have to choose something give you guys a taste of our lunch here as well in theat and then go out and check out what theat is all about too right guys the first part of our food just came out which is the spring roll NM I believe it's called in Vietnamese and uh they look absolutely fabulous they smell amazing as well I'm not too sure now what they're what they're actually filled with um I just saw spring rolls and went with it so I usually enjoy these especially since we came to Vietnam they uh have nearly with every meal I will order like a portion of these and uh they're kind of like my my downfall because they're fried so like they definitely have quite a bit of calories going on inside I'm going to try and get these Chopsticks out I can't really get this one out there you go magic magic Chopstick so we have Red Chopsticks interesting color Choice um and I'm going to give these a try here they're probably pretty hot right now W slippy as well going to go straight into some of the soy sauce here and just yeah see what it is see what's going on inside here oh thank you come on this is amazing so it's full of um I think vegetables basically kind of tastes like almost like a pickled vegetable and um it's really delicious nice and crunchy texture as well here and um yeah fantastic very small though it's the only thing but I think portion wise they're really good oh thank you so much and then uh what did we order I don't even remember what we ordered ordered I believe beef and black pepper sauce beef and black pepper sauce yeah and I went with the pork and Chinese cabbage so I believe it's pork and probably kind of bok choy type of a situation oh no maybe not does look different than the bok choy I thought uh because the bok choy in German is called Hina cool so it's like Chinese cabbage in German so that's why I thought it would be B choy but this one looks also really nice let me give a try to the spring [Music] rolls that tastes really nice they're really good yeah very good wow I also felt like Luke and I we were both kind of a little bit hungry so y we just really needed some calories yeah I think these are going to be my little addiction here for the rest of our trip in Vietnam I keep like I said these are like my default setting they're the perfect snack too got nice big white bowl of rice as well thei looks incredible I'm going to give this a quick try here as well so I've got beef beautiful cuts of beef from what it looks like some onions we have some nice chunky bits of pepper and then it's coated in a black pepper sauce as well so here you go wo it's really hot that's incredible how good is that sauce is really nice yeah very peppery very peppery yeah Del and I just um also just by smelling it uh everything on top here is all um Ginger so it actually smells very gingery uh spicy kind of in that way but it smells very very nice I'm just going to basically take my white rice some pork on top mix it this is where you can really taste the ginger that's really good super nice pork is tender very tender not Che no cage also perfect nice washing it down here I have a Pepsi which is probably the coolest Pepsi can that I've ever seen in my life have a look at this so this is like a t uh Lunar New Year Pepsi C I really want to keep this and like store it somewhere it's like really cool I haven't seen that yet and Naomi has the LA water standard boring and obviously all of the um other stuff we have the usual chilies and soy sauce and fish sauce wow really perfect meal guys and um yeah the service here is very fast they were very very quick like we literally just ordered our food maybe 2 or 3 minutes ago and everything is here so big big thumbs up and uh I'm excited to go for a little bit of a wander as well but yeah this food is incredible have a look at this guys so I made myself uh I guess you could call it if you were if you want to talk um Japanese you can say I made a bulgogi bowl or it's bulgogi Korean bog is Korean if you want to Korean I made a beef Bogi Bowl also good enough can believe that you said that have a look at these so these are usually uh very very red hot but I really enjoy them very very much so I'm going to add a few of these in here I'm actually I usually between both of us we usually go through pretty much all of these me and Naomi really really love spicy food and Vietnam definitely caters to that and I love how you can customize mix and mash everything together and now look at this so there's a pop of color with the chilies in there with the black pepper beef and you also have the beautiful white rice bell peppers and everything in there perfect perfect perfect bite right here I'm going to try to get some beef and some bell pepper and of course one of these chilies as well fantastic really unbelievable beautifully tender beef there's absolutely no even chew to the beef almost the rice as well is cooked perfectly and uh I love this I love just being able to take bits and pieces put it in a bowl and make your own flavor experience this is so good as you can see we also gave up on the Chopsticks we were so impatient we just wanted to eat really fast so we were just like let's eat with this food but we are feeling less hungry now so we're we're doing okay as always we ordered just a little bit to much I don't know how we do it but we just have the talent of ordering too much we need to learn to order just like one dish and one portion of rice and I think it would be fine for the two of us and uh the ladies were so kind as well they gave us uh bananas for dessert they were really Smiley and really happy about it and uh we're going to enjoy our banana while walking towards the lake on our way up here we drove past the lake and it looked like really idyllic and cute so we're just going to have a look around there and uh maybe even get a nice coffee or something like this on the way I don't know I feel like we are in Paradise right now in complete vacation mode which is super nice and I really enjoy the lot already wow wow wow wow look at this this is exactly what we were sort of expecting in our minds anyways when we came to the lot beautiful absolutely beautiful and we're kind kind of in the main I guess area over here it's kind of the main central part of the lot and then this gorgeous Lake now I have no idea what the lake is actually called but it is quite literally a sprawling Lake here surrounded by a beautiful Greenery and uh I'm sure there's plenty of different activities that you can actually do on the lake there's actually some people out there on some type of um boats pedal boats Swan Boats really just a gorgeous scene to come here a lot of people are actually just sitting along the lake and enjoying their time here yeah the lake is called H Swan h i mean means I think means lake lake um but yeah the the paddle boat out there all of the swans and that looks really cute I would love to do that maybe tomorrow for my birthday yeah for sure it doesn't get much better than this guys uh really really just spotlessly uh clean all surrounding here too and even the Lake itself is beautiful and clean as well so yeah this is gorgeous down the cafe guys that's actually overlooking the lake we just came up here and uh we think it's probably the perfect place to grab ourselves our coffee so let's see we've got some espressos here juices chocolate mint Frappuccino Jesus some teas strawberry yogurt wow okay so very random menu I think what I'm going to go for is espresso sua espresso with milk and I have to wait for Naomi cuz she left me she's gone to the toilet see what she wants thank you so much thank you ooh looks very good so nice ES espresso espresso and then I don't know what that is maybe jasmine tea usually it's Jasmine tea in Vietnam yeah you always get one sort of or you always get 80 this one is also jmy very nice I love the judment yeah it's nice to like nearly every time we go to a cafe you get like one of these just to a company whatever else you're doing or whatever you're drinking so it's always really nice oh my God it's like rockage fu yeah guys very excited to be here in the lat so far for me first impressions of this place very very uh relaxed quite touristy so we are seeing quite a lot of westerners but um it's understandable when it's such a beautiful place it does seem to be very very uh calm in a lot of places where we are right now obviously is the main sort of around the lake area so there is quite a bit of traffic but the more that you move up into the hillside of the lot and the outskirts of the area like where we're staying where our hotel is it's beautiful quiet we're going to sleep very very well I think over the next couple nights here because we have a nice bed and we have plenty of Amazing Days of Adventure ahead of us we also are going to have one more video coming to you from here obviously we want to show you what there is to explore around here and not just travel here and that's it but yeah hope you guys enjoy today's video I really love the Hotel Beds that's like the number one thing that I'm looking forward to is those beds because in a lot of airbnbs uh around Asia you have these like really hard Beds which we are not used to as westerners so I'm like really looking forward to enjoying the Ved tonight down there is somebody who just waved huh really friendly nice looking lady super friendly she was looking at us and she's like you have a nice view I think she's from the UK probably
