oh my goodness welcome to Romania
everybody oh my goodness
high-five I'm so proud of you and Wow
I'm getting that spooky vibe of spooking
in a cool kind of way who just walked up
and it definitely looks something
straight out of Romania good morning
guys and welcome to a brand new country
the last time we left you we were in
Kazakhstan and since then we have jumped
on a flight and headed to Romania
[Laughter]
so yesterday at 3 a.m. we packed our
bags headed to the airport and flew all
the way to Bucharest there we actually
greeted by two locals called georgiana
and Vlad and they actually watch our
videos and they invited us to come and
explore their beautiful country of
Romania now the best bit is if you like
what we see they run a local bespoke to
a company called Romanian thrills and
you can pretty much tell them what you
want to see nature castles cities and
that's why we told them our very first
stop needs to leave the cities and go to
the middle of nowhere so we headed west
of Bucharest and I guess our main goal
was to get to this guest house because
Steve and I were pretty jet-lagged
attired after such a long night flight
but on the way we actually went through
this village and they specialize in
pottery and the way they paint their
pottery is like nothing we've seen
before so here they make pottery out of
natural paints but the paint brush kind
of thing they use is so interesting so
specially a horn of a cow connected to a
feather so they pull the paint inside
the horn and then it comes out the
bottom of the feather I've never seen
this before so we kept on driving
through more small villages we went and
visited a couple of monasteries and the
outside was painted with the steel the
original paint and these monasteries are
2 to 300 years old
and I also found an old well which I
also found out was 200 years old and I
really wanted to try the water I don't
know
a good idea but I've never seen a well
that old before
well let's see if the chain make it tell
me if I hit the water
yeah hear it yeah I think you'll hear it
feels really heavy now there you go is
it 200 year old world water it's nice
and cold we then arrived at our guest
house and this place is super cute we
need to give you a little room tour
think these are the little sheep dogs so
this is the guest house we say that last
night it's got her novel char and it's
currently on a working farm and it's all
made out of wood and it's exactly what
we pictured when we planned a trip to
the countryside in Romania before we
leave it's one give you guys a quick
room tour on where we slept last night
we're on the top floor which is really
nice because you can see the curve in
the roof and we can open up the window
which we did last night to let in some
fresh air but yeah super cute really
spacious and everything in here but
there's chickens outside through here
was the bathroom
also I just love how they've done the
doors and the door handles I mean it
just looks like a lock on a farm door
very cool
super comfortable stay that we had last
night as well good morning folks how you

breakfast we are right here on the
corner of the building there's a bit of
a stream coming past and everything well

view down there you're gonna see the
highway just 200 meters down there oh my
goodness high-five I'm so proud of you
anyway - dad - continue the trail we
removed the hammock and just walking
across we just hiked around the side of
the mountain in Romania because they've
vampire bats yeah are they Al's
oh yeah
[Music]
all righty we've hiked out we found a
little waterfall and I think it's the
best way to cool for a little dip
all that hiking we've decided to treat
ourselves and a bunch of you've told us
to try puffin ash he's basically like a
romanian doughnut and look at this it
looks like a doughnut just covered in
cream and berries I've been looking
forward to this this has got us through
the hike I'm just saying yes oh my
goodness oh it looks sorry good look at
that it does affect a donut mmm that is
so good really cut me off a piece feels
like a nice thick donut and then the
berries are like sour you ready
yeah it's so good it's really good
actually makes it with the berries that
is so good and the donuts a bit crispy
as well there's like crispy donuts
you've got your wild berries on there
maybe a bit of cream Wow so just made an
interesting stuff we're just making our
way towards our hotel and we just come
across you could call it an art piece so
the government was going to pretty much
DeForest this entire place and in
protest there was this artist who came
and painted over six hundred trees with
eco-friendly paint this is a very recent
thing painted all these trees all these
different colors that kind of looks like
we're in a dr. Seuss movie or a dr.
Seuss book and of course because people
come visit it now the government decided
to not cut down this forest which is a
really nice story so many different
colors got lilacs blues oranges yellows
reds
it's just surrounding the place so the
Sun has just set and we've just arrived
at our hotel for the night and Wow I'm
getting that spooky vibe of spooky in a
cool kind of way who just walked up and
it definitely looks something straight
out of Romania almost like the Haunted
Mansion ride at Disney
and it doesn't help with that the Sun is
just setting so it's just got this ray
of light across the hotel but we need to
show you around because this is so cool
this is just adding to the whole vibe I
mean I'm sure it's not the vibe they're
going for I think it's just the vibe you
feel when you rock up here but let's
just take you through the main hall see
become just through here it's the grand
entrance we have the restaurant just
over here and this piano I don't think
there's anyone around but look at this
piano with the bouquet of flowers inside
an umbrella oh my goodness
you're like I'm going to release a curse
if I play something so then just up
here's the grand staircase where two
stories up oh you guys could just see
what I'm seeing right now so this is our
room we are in 202 rooms not too bad and
I think or is he at the top floor I
couldn't think of a better way to end a
day of hiking climbing mountains and
hanging out
well they've actually done this really
well so you've decided to jump in uh-huh

adventure here in Romania but don't
worry there is plenty more to come we
