well today is one of our last beach days that's the most important thing beach day is here
in the dominican republic but also one of our very last days we're going to start packing
up very very soon to leave i'm so sad but is it our last beach day we came to sausua
which is just about a 15 minute drive from cabaret there's an absolutely gorgeous beach
here so we decided to make a beach day of it so over the last couple of weeks as we
count down the days as they go by and we know we have one viewer every single day we've
been discussing a lot about what we're going to miss here and why we don't want to leave
so we figured make an actual video about it so throughout the course of this video we're
going to talk about all the reasons we don't want to leave the dominican republic well
i think to start things off maybe just maybe one of the things we're going to miss the
most are beaches like this look at this place i can tell you after eight months of being
here this does not get old not even slightly i could come to this beach every day except
the problem is we never do we try to we just don't make it here all the time if you happen
to be new around here my name is trevor that's anna we are the delightful travelers click
on the subscribe button to follow along on the adventure and also if you're not new it's
nice to see all you guys again so one of the things here about sosua beach is there's this
path huh it's just up from the beach but there's all these kind of shops and things yeah there's
like a beach path with all these restaurants and shops and they're gonna try to get you
in just so you know when you walk along you'll probably see it here on the camera people
will yell at you try to get you into their shops try to sell you a beach chair and get
into the restaurants we're actually here in low season now so i don't know if that's gonna
happen today it is very quiet around here we've been to this beach before this is the
quietest i've seen it but i think we should probably tell them like why are we leaving
you guys are probably wondering if you're something oh you're so sad to leave but why
do you have to leave well one thing is like we are a travel channel so we can't stay in
the same place for permanently as much as we'd love to make this home yep permanently
at least reside you're sad i can tell by your voice your voice like my voice is going to
go down and down a lot today no but we have plans though we do have plans yes i think
we teased in a couple of videos we are going to one more place before we go home to nova
scotia very very close by maybe we'll tell you in the next video yeah and if you guys
want to guess it's close to this island and it's another country feel free to take a guess
and there might be beaches there it's probably beaches i don't exactly know what it is about
this place more so cabaret but sosua is very close to cabaret so this whole north coast
area especially cabarete though we can't put our finger on why we love it so much and this
seems to be a reoccurring theme with like anybody we meet here on the north coast whether
they're vacationing whether they live here whether they're dominicans there's something
about this place it's unexplainable we've been to close to like 50 countries and this
place just like has a heart for some reason maybe it's because we were here for so long
it's really hard to sum up but we just want to say if any of you guys get a chance to
ever visit just do it it is exceptional here it's our one of our perfect places a happy
place even so we've been to this beach probably four or five times since we first came to
the dominican republic we came back in november when we first got here i think like two weeks
in a row like let's do this every single week and of course that didn't happen we got really
busy we started traveling around the island a little bit so we haven't been here nearly
as often as we would like the very first time we actually found a restaurant that has beach
chairs that we really really enjoyed so we're gonna look for it now we brought the camera
today i see i see it we only have two days left two days ready
yeah and the place we're at is called you can see it on his shirt el dorado the best
restaurant in the whole beach yeah it's our favorite here it is he's not lying i'm not
lying at all not because i work here because it is i think you can probably tell why we
come over here not just the restaurant but the beach so i know the first of the video
you didn't really get a good uh look but here is absolutely stunning you can see the mountain
way in the background the camera is not going to do that justice but just take a look at
the water this is what we like about sosua the beach kind of faces west so that means
all the north coast waves are coming in they're kind of blocked we're a little bit protected
here so it's absolutely it's just gorgeous i mean take a look around right now all right
here's where we set up shop this is all right huh i think this will do we got a like straight
straight perfect view of the water nobody in front of us hopefully it stays that way
we want to say a huge thank you to cali case for sponsoring another of our videos you might
recall a couple of videos ago we tried it out in our pool but today we're really putting
it to the test by taking it into the ocean with us if you're wondering what cali case
is essentially what you do here is you put your phone inside this you seal it up so no
water can get in this thing and then you take it in the beautiful ocean that you already
saw here and you can take photos and video underwater so basically you get all the benefits
of a gopro for only thirty dollars and also it floats that's the best that's the coolest
thing about this song you don't have to worry about losing it you just put it around your
neck take underwater video and photos on top of the great benefits of this case you can
also feel good knowing that every time an order is received on calicase.com they donate
one dollar to the ocean conservancy an organization dedicated to cleaning and preserving our beaches
and oceans so click the link in the description below and use the code delightful travelers20
to save 20 on your cali case purchase pretty good deal also a big thank you to cali case
for sponsoring this video and supporting creators like us well that was certainly a refreshing
dip i'm definitely going to do that multiple times today it's really really hot out i think
we mentioned the last few videos that in the past month or so it's gotten particularly
hot out if you're wondering if it does get hotter as you get further into the summer
the answer is definitely yes it's been i think about for 30 pretty much every day so going
in that water is nice the water was surprisingly cool we were just here like a week or two
ago and i don't remember the water feeling cold but today not cold but cooler i should
say but after a minute or so it's really really refreshing and it's probably nice on a day
like today when it is so hot to have a little bit of contrast between the air and the water
i know it's uh well it's safe to say we're gonna miss this i mean look at this look at
this those people look pretty chilled out there on their floats so i'm sure some of
you guys are probably wondering why i haven't flown the drone today and in the last video
so first of all in the last video it was so windy that day that i just couldn't i would
have lost the drone again and we all we know what happened there it happened once before
it crashed somehow don't want that happening again also here i got here i was so excited
to fly the drone and then the drone wouldn't allow me the dji app was like no you can't
i was like what's happening and i forgot there's like an airport the florida plata airport
right there right in its path so unfortunately no drone today but it doesn't matter i mean
just walking around here and getting all this kind of b-roll footage is all you guys need
to see how beautiful it is one of the things we're absolutely going to miss the most not
only the food but also the location of eating the food which is literally having your feet
in the sand i don't think there are that many places in the world that have so many beach
restaurants where literally the majority of the tables are right in the sand and you can
take your flip flops off and just like literally have a feeding fan oh and we got some good
looking food we got some fried kind of chicken fingers rice there's some beans a little bit
of bread a little bit of salad gonna miss this yeah this is always our go-to beach lunch
it's like fried some some form of fried chicken rice and beans kind of salad just you know
get your greens in there first thing i'm gonna have to try here is just the rice and beans
it's it's my favorite thing about the dominican republic just rice and beans on the beach
and i know we said this in other videos but when we leave i'm sure when we go back to
canada we're not going to make this for ourselves and i don't know why because it's always so
delicious
how they do that to the beans it's like soupy creamy and just full of flavor with the rice
it's so good okay anna i promise we're gonna have to do this when we get back we're going
to make this for ourselves and maybe we'll even attempt the fried chicken i mean this
is just a strip of fried chicken here in the dr that's where it's at so i am going to try
this chicken sometimes when we're on the beach we like to get like the full on pieces of
fried chicken but in general i find like little chicken fingers or chicken tenders they're
just usually taste similar they have the same breading on them but no bones so you don't
have to worry about that it's just so much easier to eat especially on a beach day here
in the dominican republic they do fried chicken so well i mean obviously we can get it anywhere
you can get it at home in canada but it's just so much better here i don't know why
they have it down they have something figured out the rest of the world's not figured out
it's so so crispy on the outside perfect taste to it there's like maybe a little bit of seasoning
in there nothing overpowering but just perfection and then the middle the chicken is just cooked
perfectly i think it's something to do with the seasoning it must be or like whatever
they use for the breading i don't know but it's just so good it's so good seriously though
guys we are so going to miss the cuisine and the food here in the dr it's not just dominican
food and we have filmed some videos on that if you guys want to go back and check them
out there's probably like two or three of them now of us just eating dominican food
i'm gonna miss sancocho i'm gonna miss their empanadas but the thing about this place in
the dr it's not just dominican food i know some people think that's all there is now
you can get any kind of cuisine you want there's western food we got italian food there's craft
burger places you name it they have it and that's one of our favorite things here it's
like there's variety here but at the same time i just love i do love dominican food
you guys it is so hot here we're just finishing up our beach day it's like 33 degrees that's
why we're sweating it's just like i'm not this is not from being in the ocean this is
just pure sweat right it's pure sweat at this point i did actually went to go to the bathroom
and like douse myself with water my face at least but it didn't really help yeah so another
thing we wanted to say is back to like what we're gonna miss here i think the biggest
one is definitely the people yes we've met so many people obviously we've been here for
like eight months or something like that and we've met so many people during that time
both expats people that lived here a long time and of course dominicans made so many
friends so many friends that's the best part we met we met people from other countries
that we're going to see when we come back here we have friends here that live here max
and maram we you guys saw them in another video but we met lots of dominicans and we
just know so many people now and it makes us feel like we know everybody in cabaret
now whether it's like going into a restaurant knowing people that work there yeah people
around it's one of those things that i think we said it kind of feels like home here and
there's definitely a good nice sense of community yeah there is but it's the people that make
it feel like home another thing we're definitely going to miss is the weather is it 100 perfect
all the time no of course not nowhere in the world is it but in general it's really really
good it's sunny most of the time this time of year when it actually clouds over it actually
feels kind of good because it's really really hot it rains here and there but in general
the weather is really really excellent i'm also going to miss those palm trees oh we
don't have palm trees in canada there might be one i think you've heard there's one in
outside of halifax maybe we'll have to go look for it it's a really i thought it was
just fantastic one in dartmouth weird i did not know that well thanks for coming along
on our beach day today everyone we had a blast we had to do this as it is our last almost
the last day i was about to say you didn't say our last beach day that you did yeah it
is so sad it's so sad i can't even begin to describe to you guys the feeling of this because
we leave places all the time it's part of being a traveler is that you come to a place
you often fall in love with it and then you have to leave but you always know you're going
someplace great which we do know like we're going to another spot and there's beaches
there too so there are some benches there we're going to go home we're going to see
lots of people we're going to travel again but there's something like heavy on the heart
leaving here there is now if you guys got this far in the video and you're wondering
