Are you ready? Ready to go for a ride with me?
Yes and no, yes, I don't know, I'm so scared
Like I hate motorbikes and motorcycles I hate all this crap
Let's do it
Hey guys and welcome back to FOMO the Vlog in this episode we continue exploring Vietnam's Ninh Binh
and head to Trang An, riding a motorcycle for the very first time ever
With no license or insurance because that's how they roll in Southeast Asia
Are you feeling it now? Yeah, it takes a little bit of getting used to
Are we gonna die today? No absolutely not. I just need to try turning..
Oh so you haven't tried turning it. No
Okay, good start
So it's my first day on a motorbike, a mopet, let's not lie to ourselves. And I'm really scared..
And so is Alina I feel, I believe in you
But I believe in you and I believe in me
So you will get an update to Trang An, if we made it there
We are on our way to Trang An to go on a boat ride, getting there is extremely stressful
Okay guys, so in case no one heard a word of what I said on the motorbike
We made it!
We made it to net to Trang An and we're alive and Polina was did so well
I'm so proud of her! Our butts really hurt. But now we have a really calming three hour boat ride
We just went up to the information lady and asks her which of the three routes to take
She told us she prefers route number three
So we just went with that because she promised it was going to be the most exciting
Going through the longest cave has like stalactite and stuff. So we thought that'd be more fun as well
I'm really not hating. Five minutes into the ride, and we're going into a cave
Hang Dot Cave
Hang means cave
Oh snap
We're gonna have to remove our hats
It's Alina and Polina coming to you straight from the underground
The stalactites and the cave is so low that we need to duck our heads every time the lady goes "Kui kui kui kui"
Kui kui kui kui
She's awesome. She's like drifting on this boat
Once you're inside, the senses start overtaking, the darkness and stone press on you from all sides and
Every word that you say seems to hang in the air
Honestly felt like we were trespassing in a secret that nature wanted to keep for itself and
Most of the ride we try to keep silent
Until we saw what was waiting for us on the other side
The tranquil almost still atmosphere makes it seem as though time has just stopped in this place
You look so peaceful, and then the boat
I'm like meditating
This place is so great and calming, I just want to take a nap
So it's been an hour and a half
This pleasure cruise is turning into a torture ride
Cuz it's too damn hot in this country
I wasn't prepared to be rowing when I came to this boat
Well, you know what they say work hard play harder
2000?
Oh 2000 times
You rowed in the boat 2000 times. She's rowed this boat 2,000 times, but she rows once a day
Rows it for 15 kilometers 15, that's so much
*Vietnamese*
I'm not sure what she's saying. I really want to understand
Will you come back to Trang An
Will you come back to Trang An?
Maybe if someone I'm travelling with really wants to see it, I'd say I's come back
We just finished our boat ride in Trang An
Which took us three hours, we really enjoyed it
although the first hour and a half for a much more enjoyable because after
We were sitting in blazing sun. We would suggest going earlier in the day like morning time.
Also guys, bring hats!
