WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME IN EUROPE! - HUGGING THE COAST OF CROATIA

Show Video

this was our little break stop we had some  lunch right here and you can see our Park   spot overlooking the Adriatic Sea right there  a beautiful view and we had about an hour and   a half hour and 45 minute drive to get here  but we finally left that island of Kirk and I   got to tell you if there's one thing that makes a  stop special it's the people and Tam and our new   friends really really really set a high bar for  the world with their Hospitality their kindness   and all their knowledge of the area and the  region and just so much more I mean what a   welcome to Croatia and Tim knows this whole entire  area like the back of his hand and he has given us   tips on what to do to avoid this cold and we had  a major cold front and Windstorm come in and well   there's more winter left so the best advice is is  to head down the Croatian Coast we're running out   of time on our shenen Visa our shenen time and  so we worked on our plan and we've decided to   head along this coast south there's a lot of  stops along here that we'd love to make guys   but to be honest with you with our timing and  everything that's gone down we're going to have   to drive past a lot of beautiful stuff but don't  worry this coastline is full of stunning mountains   rocks curves different subtle colors and then  you have this beautiful Adriatic Sea with this   hypnotic blue color and it is gorgeous and really  even though the sun is not not shining today it's   kind of a little bit overcast the lighting is  really beautiful and we're just enjoying this   drive but we do have a destination in mind but we  wanted to make sure that we showed you this Coast   as we drive down through here but we are going to  someplace really [Applause] [Music] cool [Music] as we come down here by this beach you can see  there's all sorts of little stalls here I'm sure   they're little food stalls now one thing I'll  tell you about Croatia or at least in the areas   that we've been is these are summer Havens and so  everybody comes down here to play on the beach to   jump in the water and all up and down through  these roads there's different houses apartments   condos little Camp campsites of all different  kinds and sizes and a lot of people even leave   their home during the summer and rent them out  but there are summertime rentals all up and down   throughout here and a lot of people don't even  live here so as we're driving up through here   I mean there's hardly anyone out here and we  see this frequently where like the Stalls or   everything's closed but everyone says this is  perfectly normal but in the summertime it's going   to be shoulder toh shoulder with mostly people  from all over Europe this is kind of Haven from   them and I can understand why this water is just  gorgeous now it's not a Sandy Beach it's like a ro   Rocky pebbley Beach there are a lot of rocks  everything is very very Rock and as a result   they are stone masons here I mean the stone work  here everywhere you look even if you look kind of   behind the stairwell that I came down you can see  all the brick walls all the when you're driving   down the highway a lot of the bridge work just  fences for wild or for livestock just every kind   of stonework you can imagine through here and it's  really simple and it's really kind of beautiful   but anyway we're just going to take a little  walk up here see what we see just a short little   break before we get back on the road and show you  some more of this beautiful dalmati Coastline all   right we are back on the road and there is a new  driver in the house and uh we've got a little ways   further a couple more hours further south too on  this little Croatian Coast through here and uh uh   see what happens the sun's kind of moved over the  other side of the sea so maybe we'll get some new [Music] colors there's a lot of colors I don't  know where to go see a lot of colors only feeling   [Music] blue there's a lot of colors lost within  a hze don't rely on others to get you through them maze the dreams not the  same for me standing by the shore why you no around the Open Sea cannot take things so let's take a minute and just talk  about these mesmerizing Blue Waters we are   driving by right now this is the Adriatic Sea  and it's actually part of the Mediterranean   Sea the very northeastern part of it now the  Adriatic Sea separates the Italian Peninsula   and the Balkan Peninsula which means it borders  the east coast of Italy and Slovenia Croatia   Bosnia heroina Montenegro and also Albania  there are 1,246 islands just off the coast   of Croatia now they're all different shapes and  sizes some of them are even so small that they   only emerge during low tide the AG adriatic's  salinity level is actually lower than that of   the Mediterranean and that's because of all the  rivers that dump freshwater into the sea from   these mountains that we're driving through right  now this coastline is also called the dalmatian   coast and that dates way back in history way  before Croatia even existed the Adriatic Sea   is noted for its stunning blue and green Hues  as you can see I've been telling you this water   is such an incredible shade of blue I can't even  explain it but the waters are home to a diverse   range of marine life including dolphins and sea  turtles and all kinds of different fish since   ancient times this sea has played an essential  part in Croatian history acting as a crucial   Transit and trading route and still today it is  a vital source of wealth for the country this   Coastal Highway is a true gym on our planet  and we are lucky to be driving down it right   now and we're happy to be taking you along with  us the way the water's blue and those um those   mountains are kind of gray back there it just  really sort of gives the water Shimmer like   gold it looks like gold look some kind of fish  farms out there saw some earlier one of the fing all right we saw those Fish Farms off in  a distance and then we get up closer it   looks like they have in here at this little  Marina or the port they have some pulled in there bunch of Hoops so that's what you go in there and remodel  if you built there you'd have to remodel   that probably can't tear it down we are  now on the highway and the road is kind   of veered away from the sea and we're  down kind of around where zadar is and   so the whole Croatia kind of pokes out in  the sea right there well we stayed Inland   on the Main Highway and I just looked up  and I was like snow where' the mountains   go they're gone just like that I can see them  way over here they're off in the distance but   we are going to get back to the Sea before  night is over to our camp spot so fingers crossed yes so we'll be down here here on the  right I anywhere in here really yeah probably   turn left then your destination will be on  the right in 300 ft make a U make a uturn   then turn right what was open the little  restaurant so it's parkings in here here yeah good morning everyone we have got a camp  spot here on the Beach and that is not g yelling   in the background but you can see G smelling on  the things here but these black birds actually   they're kind of gray birds with black wings  they look like big crows but any event they   found G money and they're yelling at him but  we're right here on the Mediterranean Sea we   had a great night's sleep last night a free Camp  spot and it was quiet here we couldn't even hear   the bird squat walking we're back over across  the street up there in the trees and uh we're   going to get started this morning we're going to  continue to cruise this Croatian Coastline it has   been stunning thus far so it looks to me like this  is just a little beach party area outside of Sion   and there's a nice stretch of almost Sandy Beach  it's still pebbly this water is just absolutely   crystal so clear and a stunning blue I know we've  probably sound like a stuck record saying that but   both snow and I have been amazed at how beautiful  to see is not much for waves but all along this   little beach line this short little piece back  up in here are little bars and restaurants and   coffee shops and all that type of stuff now all  of them seem to be closed this morning but we   did come in last night and a couple of the bars  were open which is kind of unusual ual for this   time of year and so again it we are in the heart  of Winter and a lot of these little beach towns   are cleared out but I want to come out here and  show you one and we're going to see a few more   later on today but even out there you can see  I don't know if that's a like a watchtower or   a pretty church or what that is but there's a lot  to see along this Coast from the south of here I   think we came through an area that wasn't largely  populated I think all that's about to change guys   so let's enjoy this Coast we are back on the road  snows at the wheel and it is another beautiful day   along this Croatian Coastline with the Sea and the  birds and the rocks and the trees and it's getting   greener down here I don't know what happened  but yesterday's drive there was hardly any   green anything it all look Barren and vast we like  green and there's definitely pops of green coming   up as we head some ah we've been excited to come  through through the greenery and all of a sudden   we're cruising along through here and we've come  through an area where the forest has burned pretty   badly it looks like maybe within the last year or  so maybe not this year but the whole side of the   Mountain really is burned and torched and scarred  but looks like everything's going to recover okay   welcome to tro gear a little Marina Waterfront  town that we've had on our radar we wanted to   show you guys around with our brand new scooters  so we put in a parking place in the map and   headed this way and we encountered construction  and for the first time in Europe it was not a   very organized detour at all what happened  curve oh watch's this building oh boy here okay I think we're supposed to we're  supposed to go right here we okay okay over here and now we go this way we go right  and then left it's just to jog around these buildings oh Jesus okay the trug made it back here so  that's a good sign all right so soon   I I want to get by the next big road  and then I'll be able to put it in the map we're going to go on right yeah we  have to go right here and we'll take that left now up here we're going to go left follow that car so this is where they how they came through yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry sorry um see how we go go this left  left left don't go there that's dead end all right stop sign will go [Music] right narrow more narrow oh [ __ ] Mir hit  that before Oh we can't make this turn   we can go up here and turn around and  then we can we can go at a different   angle so if we turn around here I think  we can make the [Music] turn what do you think okay you me to get out and helpy turn  around let me see what happens if yeah this   is dead end up here so we can't go that way  I can get out and help you U let me just try gu room here [Music] again again [Music] see hopefully this angle right well first of all we can't blame the  Google this time but I will say that we found   the best Road in creatia like we always find the  narrowest windy roads at one point in time the   right turn was so sharp and narrow no way we  could make it we had to kind of go up and sh   me our way and turn around but we were going up  through the residential neighborhood literally a   two-lane one lane road two-way on lane road  and uh we made it through but I worked up a   swag that was like did some amazing driving and  I got to tell y'all we do a lot of editing when   we go through scenes like that because normally  we are uh screaming at each other hold on one   minute because I can't see the gate I can't see  the I can't see the okay so you want me to park   over there closer to the Sea okay yeah that'll be  rough parking closer to the Sea voila okay so we   have to move a little bit here in our parking lot  but thankfully we're not getting booted out guys   uh we actually communicated quite well through  that and the Google Maps was actually a huge   help in finding the right turns and the right  roads there are a lot of little deadend alleys   here so that was a struggle Kurt did a phenomenal  job it was a workout but we're in tro gear and   we're going to pull out our scooters for our  first time using them for an adventure and I   think it's going to start with the market if we  can get there before it closes if you've missed   the past few videos then you miss the fact that  we got cool new scooters now in South America we   had bikes we had to get rid of them for space  and then ingue this amazing company reached   out to us to see if we wanted a try out some  scooters and they fit perfect so this will be   our first Adventure into a little town trying  them out and seeing how they work but it took   Kurt maybe 3 or 4 minutes to pull them out of  the back I think these things are going to be amazing [Music] [Music] here [Music] so one thing about this town is it's  definitely a marina town and when I was reading   the reviews of this place in particular I think  it is a place that a lot of the yachts and the   the ships and stuff come to provision up when  they come into the marina which we're going   to show you soon and it is off seon and you can  definitely tell that a lot of stuff is closed but   there were some very nice looking stands through  there yeah I saw a lot of cabbages on the way in oh look at that bacon that looks good hi peans what are those dates figs dried figs  dried figs Mand dried figs zucchini they're   dried figs potatoes [Music] onions honeys  this is our first Croatian market right here   I think those trees we were coming across in  Italy were pomegranates might have olive oil hi yeah what are those dried thingy jiggers oh we've had those before  yeah they're like a squash yeah   but not with those pricklies on them  yeah you just got to clean the prickly off bacon oh bacon and sausage Hi how  are you fine how are you very good wow   that smells good yeah thank you do you want  maybe something maybe H is good or something   sausages maybe cheeses cheeses you got good  everything don't you yeah oh is this Lamb's   cheese yes yes cheese yeah if you want May  we'll come back we got to come back we're   going to we're going to go oh what time  do you close uh 3:00 3:00 okay all right   thank you we want to try some of that cheese  yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure thank you you as well [Music] he pretty cool huh yeah I me go through [Music] here [Music] than all  right troger look at this little place guys this   little wall City and there's all sorts of little  hallways down here narrow roads Stone buildings   castles it's so cool little big churches cool  stonor lots of shopping and restaurants I think   we find somewhere for a little light lunch  maybe out on the water all right let's go   look [Music] he [Music] and here you can see some  preservation going on you see this this old what   looks to be like defensive Fort and they've got  some new soccer fields some sports Fields some   basketball courts and some soccer fields and  right in amongst this beautiful Marina with   all these huge boats and I am telling you guys  there are some rich and fancy yachts in this   place and a lot of them there's also a bunch of  big sailboats a really really beautiful Marina   with all different Siz boats and with this little  castle and this Old City out here on this island   it is stunning and believe me there's lots of  restaurants and shops throughout that whole little   area but Croatia has definitely got it going on  these are the coolest things ever aren't they fun what a cool little old town this turned  out to be and a perfect place for for our first   little outing on our new electric scooters  Kurt's grabbing a selfie over there with the   van in the background I think we're going to  be able to explore a lot more little hidden   towns like this one with these scooters guys  but now I think before we head back to the   van we're going to go see if we can't grab us a  quick bite to eat look at these giant freaking yachts [Music] [Music] world heritage site my job was to order the drinks Kurt's job was apparently to order enough  food to feed 27 people it's just a sandwich my   a little kebab and hers is a little chicken  with a little tomato lettuce and onion look   how big this thing is they are giant sandwiches  we're going to Feast right here water side old   Cityside and enjoy the rest of our day all  right first time packing them back up after   a short little ride maybe six s minutes which  isn't bad at all but I think as we do it a few   more times it'll get down to 5 minutes which  is awesome they're worth it aren't they ctie   uh man it's just made for a sweet little stop  snow is saying at lunch if we made a stop like   this it take half a day we zipped around  saw the whole area in like an hour and a   half perfect yeah perfect perfect if you like  this video be sure to subscribe to our Channel   and hit
