Good afternoon, guys.
From Setubal as I believe they pronounce it.
I'm not entirely sure if that's how you
pronounce it, but that's what I heard from the Don Rob, who I'm actually with here.
We've got the Don Rob, we've got the Cody Candy Bro dog.
And we're going to spend the next 24 to 36 hours or so exploring
Setubal, which is about 30, 35 minutes drive from Lisbon,
and it's pretty much a suburb.
You cross over the bridge and it's a pretty quick ride.
We took an Uber there,
but you can also take a train option for about €6 per person.
So (3-hour jog) 3-hour jog, 2 for the Don Rob.
That's right.
So we're gonna do a little bit of exploring.
Show you guys what the downtown area looks
like first, maybe check out some national parks and see what we get into.
As with most places in Europe, it is pretty quiet here.
There's not too many people. Where we're at right now
there seems to be quite a few,
but going through some of these alleyways, it's pretty quiet around here.
Most shops are closed at the moment. Would pass
maybe like one ice cream shop on a Saturday so,
you would think there's a lot more.
Alright, so we're entering into this huge square and once again, it's a Saturday.
As I probably said a couple of times,
so that's why it's that much crazier how empty this place is.
Everybody must be inside
like, compared to other countries I've been to.
It's just, it's a nine-day experience.
And other Europeans are telling me
that this is like the most open place in all of Europe.
So one of the challenges with traveling
Portugal on a Saturday with everything shut down at 1:00 p.m.,
we've got to be resourceful.
Luckily this time we were able to find a grocery store where we can get some grub.
Last week when we were in Monsanto, we didn't plan very well for the evenings,
we didn't have any food because there weren't any grocery stores open later.
So we're going to get some chow here before checking out more of the city.
Got a little baguette, what is that baguette
cost, like one Euro? (59 cents) 59 cents.
So we're going to be eating good, eating like kings.
For what total, I'd say probably like two, three Euros?
(Four Euros, I think) €4 to eat like kings.
All right,
we ended up getting a couple of juices too, these aren't breaking the bank, $1.79, still cheap.
And then we got a little purple snack here
so all of this is probably cheaper than if
we were to get one entree at a restaurant for all this.
And that's a success.
Only €10 and 89 Euro cents for a full meal for Bobby and I to eat.
So we're talking like 12,13 US and it is going to be some good stuff with some
candy, with some juices, a fully balanced meal.
It's some nanners (bananas) with the Don Rob.
You can't go wrong with that. (Yes sir.)
Oh, yeah.
Just got our sammies made here, which is ham, cheese,
poyo and a nice French baguette,
eating like Kings with little chocolate dessert.
All right,
after exploring some of the downtown area,
we made a quick pit stop back here to check into our Airbnb.
And now we're going to be heading over
to a place called Sado Estuary Natural Reserve.
So right now, I'm currently hiding under the sweater.
As you can see,
we got the bro, we got the Don Rob right there, because the situation is in Portugal
they make you
only ride in Uber XL's with two people.
although you have to take an Uber XL,
but sometimes they allow you to make things work and put three people in.
So I just got to make sure we're ducking from the police and never get caught.
After a quick 15-minute ride, we have just made it over to our stop.
Bro, tell us a little bit about this place.
All right, yeah
so this is Reserva Natural
do Estuario do Sado.
And it's like a marshy wetland where
there's a lot of bird species you can watch, lots of really good hiking trails.
Supposedly, there's even some dolphin families around here,
and yes, it's a beautiful place to be in nature.
Sweet. That sounds awesome.
Super excited to check it out.
My brother actually found a bunch of recommendations all around Portugal
because he read basically cover to cover the Lonely Planet books,
so he knows all about it.
He knows all about Portugal
and so we're going to be doing some amazing weekend trips,
and this is definitely going to be one of them, as you can tell.
Let's go.
Wow.
Super, super beautiful.
It's just a marshland mixed with this super
cool-looking Portuguese village surrounding it.
Definitely a cool place to check out.
The place, I think, is technically closed right now.
We've only seen, like,
two or three people here, so it feels like we have the place for ourselves.
You can hear the birds chirping,
and it's just nice and calming right here at sunset.
So it's worth a visit if you guys are in this area.
Probably had a solid mile of walking around this place.
It's super beautiful,
peaceful, relaxing
stroll in the afternoon.
It's a really great place not too far outside of Lisbon
that's worth it.
If you just want some space, some nature
and some beautiful views.
We're coming into the evening time now.
And still, once again, guys, as you could probably guess, it is super beautiful.
We are trying to figure out what type of bugs these are, because there are so,
so many of them, but they're not biting us luckily.
We have some nice cotton candy skies to look at to finish off the evening.
Sh*t, there's some bugs coming after me,
I'm out.
I think something crawled up my pants there.
All right, yeah
there's a lot of bugs out here, a lot of them.
That pretty much wraps up today's adventure guys.
We will see you first thing tomorrow morning because we're going to do a little
bit more exploration out here, some of the things to do in the area.
So stay tuned, good night
and see you in the AM.
And Bom Dia, as they say here in Portugal.
We are gonna go see if we can find some Acai bowls now to get some energy in us,
and then we're gonna head over to the National Park,
do a little bit of hiking today, and potentially after that,
if we have some more time, we might do a little more exploration,
but it depends on how much hiking we end up doing.
So let's see what we get into today.
We found an Acai place, so we're gonna be in really good today,
got a bunch of toppings loaded up on this
thing right here at this spot in downtown, so it's gonna be delicious.
Got some lattes as well, so get ready
because that's gonna get us a nice amount of energy before we do a little hiking.
Bowl time, bro? (Bowl time)
Oh yeah,
it's time to chow down.
We got this thing loaded up with strawberries, bananas, kiwis,
mangoes, peanut butter chunks, granola, all sitting on top of Acai.
Apparently, the texture is quite good.
Much needed.
All right,
we just finished up a delicious Acai bowl and we're heading over to Portinho da Arrabida,
so we're taking a 20-minute Uber ride to get over there.
It only costs about €9, so it's super cheap to get around here,
the transportation like Uber
so we'll see you once we get over there.
And the boys have made it in the beach town area in this National Park,
we're cruising through here, thanks to another bro recommendation.
Only the best for you guys.
That's called hooking a brother up, literally.
Well this was Robert's idea.
Oh, sweet.
So we're gonna head over to the beach,
check it out, and do a little exploration of this beautiful, beautiful
location.
And we have made it to the beach, already
it's been a beautiful hike right along this rigid coastline.
Perfect day for it too,
it's not too, not too hot out
and so it's perfect to do a little
exploration on this nice little spring afternoon here in Portugal.
I think this is finally the first spot in Portugal that gives us a taste
of what pre-pandemic life feels like being at a beach.
You forget that the world is in the midst
of a pandemic or actually towards the end, we're hoping.
But the nice part is, this beach is probably
super packed pre-pandemic days because it's super beautiful.
You have the mountains behind you,
you have good views, you have some islands in the distance
and it's also super early in the day.
It's probably like 11:30 right now.
So in the afternoon, I bet it gets a bit busier,
but it's stunning. Let's get the drone up, see what it looks like from above.
All right, we just had a little bite
to eat, and now we're doing a little hiking through some of these trails.
It don't seem to be marked, so we're kind of just exploring,
figuring out where to go and where to find some amazing lookout points.
I must say, after eating a huge meal,
it's a little bit harder to hike up the mountain with a 20-pound
backpack, but it also feels good to be working out.
Oh, my backpack's caught.
All right, let's go through here, see what we can find out here.
Maybe some wild gazelles.
After a bit of a hike and somewhat of an unmarked trail,
about ten minutes walking through, we have found this absolutely stunning viewpoint.
It gives me a similar feel to Rio de Janeiro with a curve,
and then there's somewhat of a peninsula sticking out except
obviously, there's no city there, so it's got its own charm to it,
but super, super beautiful lookout point right here.
I can't tell you guys exactly how to get
here, because we kind of just picked a spot and started walking.
But basically, there's a huge road you
walk up, and then there are a few different trails you can walk off on
and just try and look where you can see
the lookout point and pick a trail around there
and maybe you'll find this place.
But as you can imagine, there's not much of a railing here
so be careful hanging out on the edge.
And so guys, that wraps up our time here checking out, Setubal, I still have it wrong.
Hey, what's up guys, it's Mac from the future.
That pronunciation was horrible. Se-tu-bal.
I still probably don't have it perfectly, but forgive me, I got it a little bit
better than how I pronounced it in the GoPro video.
All right, back to it.
But that's pretty much it for this weekend trip.
You'll definitely want to come and check this place out.
It's super beautiful, especially here.
This is probably my favorite part
of the whole weekend was hanging out by the beach,
beautiful viewpoints,
so make sure to make a trip down here, and we will see you guys in the next video.
