good morning everybody and welcome to the dominican republic
we are just heading to the beach now so we are actually in the town of
las galeras and just to give you guys kind of the lay of the land you've got the northeastern ish
kind of part of the dominican republic there's this little peninsula that kind of juts out
that's where the treehouse village was that we stayed in our last video and then we went a little
bit further east now we're right on the coast in las galeras and we're about to go even more
even further on the coast to the tippy edge yeah well said what she's trying to say is
we're doing island hopping today you guys no no beach hopping beach hopping sorry i keep
saying island hopping but it is just beaches so we're going to be hitting a few different
beaches they should be some of the most beautiful beaches in the caribbean we've heard what we hear
the pictures look fantastic it's a little overcast right now but i think the sun is going to come out
should be no rain in the forecast so we have gone a couple shades wider with our sunscreen
and we are ready for the day we always try to use this like natural sunscreen and it really
doesn't rub in so we kind of look like fools but you end up getting like mustaches but at
least we're not getting burned oh we already have something yeah we have a boat who do we have here
i can't believe there's another couple with a camera on a beach yeah here we go again so
what are the odds i guess we better spend the whole day together is this your friend
he's pretty chill but these other two over here there's something something funny going on
well it took about an hour for our captain to show up so we've just been twiddling our thumbs but
the boat's here now there it is she looks like a worthy vessel worthy ish i don't know there's
some pretty big waves out there there's big waves and there's no top on this boat
and now my sunscreen's probably worn off that's okay the clouds are clearing up
doesn't look like any more rain yeah we're gonna have a blast we're gonna hit the high seas baby
our guy assured us that the sea was muy tranqillo
but it's not it's not tranqillo at all it's very loco very big waves
salt water in the eyes man
y'all we got our first whale sighting two or three over there yeah they're big
of course my zoom lens just broke so this is we're gonna have to enjoy them from afar i guess
that was a pretty bumpy ride y'all it's a bit rough but we made it to the first island or beach
it's right over there now can we get off this damn boat that'd be great we made it land sweet
land they did not warn us how crazy that boat ride was gonna be we even asked them beforehand because
we knew it was a little windy like is it going to be a smooth ride there like oh yeah yeah yeah
whoa man i'm going to have some bruises on my bum big time but it was fun and we actually saw
whales i'm not sure how the footage turned out but we saw like three or four whales out there
they didn't jump out but they definitely breached they did the blowhole stuff never in our lives
that we've seen whales in person that was a very nice added bonus very crazy but we're very happy
and now we're in like a paradise beach here one of the prettiest beaches and this isn't
even supposed to be the prettiest of the day yeah i guess it was worth the wild ride here i guess
this is playa fronton this is the first of the three beaches we're gonna be visiting today
this one is very very special as you can see behind us it is covered in beautiful palm
trees that just jut out over the sand like they're just trying to get into the ocean
or something they really do look like that and then on the other side we have these huge amazing
black cliffs just shutting up into the sky so if they're jumping up and then into the ocean yeah
snorkeling is very popular because as you can see from the bird's eye view there's all kinds
of coral there should be a bunch of ocean life and it's just completely crystal clear oh my gosh the
waters i didn't expect it we've seen some pretty beaches so far but nothing like this yeah really
doesn't get much better than this now i'm gonna get the heck out of the sun for a little while
y'all we got bad news trevor's drone disconnected now we don't know where it is i've never had this
happen before it just went dead like the screen just complete disconnect uh we're in trouble yeah
so we hit return to home and theoretically you should come back to this spot so we're trying to
see if we can see the little bugger i guess the bad thing is a lot more people have come since
he's taken it up yeah so hopefully they don't it doesn't return home to them right on their head
well y'all a squall has approached us so now it's pouring down rain i think official
trevor and anna lost their drone we can't go snorkeling and now we're just getting wet
yo good thing we brought our whole cooler of beer though that's the only silver lining to this day
yeah this sucks and i don't think it's going away any time soon so and also my camera's soaked
is that the drone you guys our tour guide found the drone where did you find this donde.. ahí
trevor and our guide literally walked off in the in the jungle he was like oh i'll help
you find your drone and we were like yeah fat chance oh my god he freaking found it
how on earth did he find this thing like he was like amigo amigo looking
in this jungle over there also it's crazy up there the rock those rock climbers are up there
like climbing without anything it's nuts that's incredible he's the drone whisperer
maybe you're gonna repair? maybe. okay so if you lose a drone alex is your guy he's your guy wow
it's gone but wow and then look at the top man that thing went on a ride you pushed something
i literally said when you were gone that there was maybe a point zero zero zero zero zero zero
one chance that they would find the drone and i was wrong let's go buy lottery tickets right now
we've arrived at our next beach this is actually going to be our final beach because we decided
to skip the second one which was uh playa madama playa madama but if you come out here and it's not
raining and miserable you should definitely see all three but it was a little too stormy and gross
for us so we decided to skip all the way to the third one but the plus side of that is they had
tons of food waiting for us in this little hut they have a kitchen back there and there's just
a bunch of people back there frying up a huge grill full of all kinds of deliciousness we've
got fried chicken you know our favorite tostones these are just like mashed and fried plantains
we actually make these at home all the freaking time they're really easy and really delicious
these particular ones are very hot so give those give those a minute we're
going to chow down on this it's going to be absolutely delicious obviously take a look
at it and then we're going to explore the beach a bit and of course mas cerveza
anyway so this is playa rincon and it is a very very popular beach because some people
consider it to be one of the most beautiful in the world if not maybe the most beautiful in the
caribbean yeah i think conde nast uh ranked it in the top 10 beaches in the entire world i get
it y'all beautiful mountains i mean crystal clear water it's very secluded so very quiet it's crazy
because we're here on a saturday a saturday and there's nobody here yeah we pretty much have the
whole place to ourselves look at this that's just trevor and anna up there yeah it is very very nice
oopsie daisy we got some coco locos y'all
it is a fresh big old coconut filled with rum and then he put coconut cream in there
but it's perfect for this amazing beach setting here
looks like someone or a few someones have had a few too many coco locos
that looks too fun y'all yeah i haven't had enough coco loco to get out there with them but
in my younger days maybe i would have. Estamos listos
this is our captain he's just sleeping yeah he's telling us he didn't drink
too much beer that's not the reason why he's sleeping we had the beer for him
i lost my hat
we are back at our little casa in town. Had an awesome day
yeah it was pretty good sadly we didn't get to get in the water which we just realized that
kind of sucked but it started raining right when we were gonna go snorkeling
but we have more plans for the rest of today we are going to make ourselves our own pizza yeah so
we're trying to find some charcoal right now for our barbecue i found a guy on a moto and i kind
of spoke with him in my broken spanish so we'll see if we can get him he says that he can go get
us charcoal and bring it back here because we went to every store in town and they didn't have it so
it's an adventure to find charcoal to make pizza here in the dominican republic this is nicola
he's gonna go get us uh some carbon which is i guess charcoal yeah all right he seems to be our
guy he says uh 20 minutes and we're gonna have charcoal delivered to our little casa right down
the road down there we did uh pretty well there we thought we were out of options entirely and yeah
last resort maybe that's the best option yeah or maybe he'll never show up we'll see that's true
all right we got the goods to make the pizza
we're staying in a very very sweet villa that we haven't really showed you guys yet but it's
a couple blocks off the main street in town and it's just this huge white rounded tropical villa
surrounded by a bunch of palm trees it has this amazingly huge yard this pristine big
blue pool that we have been in pretty much every day oh yeah and it has this epic outdoor kitchen
look at this oven yo holy cow it's a little bit hard to get it going but when it gets going it
is roaring this thing is so freaking hot right now you guys saw trevor and anna were working
on the dough in there and i think that it's pretty much risen to where it needs to be so we're gonna
cut in half we're gonna make two different pizzas and then our plan is to cook pizza
in this awesome oven yeah hopefully everything comes together . I got some sauce stewing down in
there we got a bunch of veggies and meat to put on top it's gonna be beautiful or not but it's gonna
taste good it could crash and burn but i told her as long as it's edible that's all i care about
all right y'all the time has come we have made it to our next
restaurant we've heard so much about this place it's just off the main drag so it's not one of
the main restaurants it's like a block off the main street yeah it has a 3.5 on google
but don't worry about that it's actually like a five-star restaurant yeah it's called casa
delaney i think yeah yeah yeah yeah oh and actually here's our waiter right here amigos
come on did we get you guys i don't know but for real guys we actually made some delicious
pizzas we ended up dividing it up into four pizzas and we wanted to cook it directly on
the grill but we had to use the foil because we the pizzas were too thin we thought they
would kind of melt through the grill yeah but they still got that nice char mark aka whoa
okay don't look at that one look at it yeah okay look at this and look at this one yeah see
that's that's a good pizza right there it's great it's gonna be fine enough wine they smell really
good they smell so good but with wine with friends they're gonna taste like a million bucks y'all
tasting our night's work but this one looks good on the bottom this one looks good pretty good
the ones that are not burnt to a crisp are freaking fantastic y'all i mean it's like thin
but it's nice and crispy on the bottom the cheese is super melty my sauce ended up being flavorful
and then all the veggies on top are great sadly this is what the rest of mine in eric's looks like
Is y'alls pretty burnt too? This piece isn't so bad so i had one bite
of kind of burnt but it wasn't terrible i mean this is black however you guys this
is i got the the meat pizza over here with some sausage let me see if it gives a bit of character
that burnt crunch looks delicious
i love it yeah for the burn i reckon the top of the pizza looks pretty professional
yeah the bottom not so much all right y'all i think that's gonna do it for this video
we did have a blast exploring the different beaches luckily we didn't get sunburned which
is awesome but mostly because we couldn't go out because it was raining a lot yeah but half the day
was good half of it was uh rain and overcast and well you guys saw and uh trevor lost his drone but
then he got it back drone yeah but i got it back i mean we got the memory card i have some closure
i have some closure and uh well if you want to watch an alternative alternative perspective
check out our video because we basically filmed all of that together it was wild man that was
crazy i'll link to all that in the description below yeah tomorrow we head to las terrenas
and then we head to cabaret maybe some more places question marks tbd we got plans y'all but we're
gonna see a lot of the northern coast of this country and it's gonna be amazing i'm so excited
more beaches more delicious food more friendship oh yeah goodbye adventures we'll see on the road
