so we've been in punta cana now for like two or three weeks and we've seen some really nice
beaches but this one oh my god we have definitely found paradise here oh my word welcome to
macau beach so when we think about the caribbean this is the type of beach that comes to mind so
many people told us to come here it's like one of the highly rated beaches here in the dominican
republic and it definitely does not disappoint if you happen to be new around here my name is trevor
and this is anna we are the delightful travelers make sure to hit the subscribe button because we
have a lot of videos on the dominican coming up anna's testing the water let's go see how it is
honestly i think it's the perfect water temperature for the ocean it's not cool
by any means it's not hot either it's just like slightly refreshing what a beach the sand
is nice and powdery and white and oh the color of that water i honestly can't get over this
and if you're wondering exactly where it is it's about 20 minute drive north of punta
cana so very very very easy to get through we have ventured into the water and it feels even
better when you're fully immersed it's such a nice temperature we haven't been in water like this
and i don't even know how long we're gonna fill up i mean a lot of you guys will know we were stuck
in the philippines when the pandemic happened yeah you were really on lockdown for a couple
of months you weren't even allowed on the beach or in the water and then by the time that ended
it was rainy season it was hard to get anywhere because it was just raining all the time so
i don't even know it's been years since we've been to the caribbean so oh this feels so
good this is by far one of the most sandiest beaches we've ever been on it's all sand no rocks
can't get over it but it does get busy so i know he said there's not many people here i think i
said that before but now there have been some tour buses that have come but they have gone quickly
too yeah so it's like a tuesday it's october we got here at like just before noon i think it was
super quiet when we got here and then like it seems like a tour bus comes when you get
invaded with tons of people and you're like whoa what just happened but then they all leave yeah
and now it's well we got this i mean look behind you there's like nobody around the water is crazy
there's a cool cliff over there it looks it's a lot closer than it looks in this
gopro i can tell you that and you can see some people down the beach but you guys
we have ordered a proper caribbean feast for our lunch it looks so good we got some fried
chicken look at that look at that avocado we got some french fries or papa fritta tostones which
is a fried plantain rice and beans with some salad over there it's also a little loud here
it's a little loud hopefully the music won't be too uh too annoying or anything but we're
gonna try to tell you about our delicious meal all right here we go i've been hearing all about these
rice and beans down in the dominican so let's go for it had rice and beans before of course
what a combo this is something we do rarely in canada is like mix them together
i don't know why because it's so delicious together
really good especially when you're on this setting i mean there's a beach
got some rice and beans tostones you can see i've taken a bite already
it goes well with the rice because these are always like a little bit dry
but this is nice and flavorful the beans so far so good i'm gonna try this chicken it looks like
it's like breaded in panko or something like that it looks delicious let's try it
have you ever had fried chicken in a setting like this wow i don't think so i don't know oh wow
that is delicious it's flavorful it's nice and juicy and it's nice and crunchy on the outside
whatever they did the breading in it's to die for this is some delicious chicken oh that food
was good especially after just getting out of the water i got beach hair sand in my hair but here's
the spot we're at i want to show you guys so yeah there's all these kind of like restaurants and
bars around there's like little uh coconut stands over that way yeah and you can see just a bunch of
people hanging out picnic tables the water's way back there right now the sun is behind the clouds
and it actually feels kind of nice it's like 31 degrees so it's probably a few degrees a little
cool slightly cooler when the sun goes behind the clouds oh i think it might be peeking out again no
no it's fine it's lovely it's lovely i'm not going to complain about the sun or the heat from the
sun at all anyway i think this is actually going to be our last video in punta cana we were just
here for like you know what about two weeks we're gonna be spending here and then we're on our way
to santo domingo we're gonna spend just a few days in the colonial zone which is like the old area of
the city it's the oldest city in the americas and we're really excited to be there and then
from there we're going to head up to up north to a town called cabaret which is where we're going to
be for a few months so we're really really excited to go to santa domingo we're probably going to
film a couple videos if you guys are wondering so one will probably be like an exploring video that
honestly the part we're going to stay in looks incredible but we're going to try to get into
some more food as well might be some local food but probably some other kinds too we hear the food
scene in the city there is spectacular i'm sure some of you are wondering how we're getting around
punta cana here it's with the help of this guy this is danny boy he's been the absolute best he's
taken us to get groceries he's taken us to get sim cards for our phone honestly without your help for
that we probably wouldn't have been able to do it because it was all spanish we can a little
bit of spanish but not enough it's great to have you so if you're coming to putakana you should
really hire this guy you can send us a message and we'll put you in touch with them but yeah
he's the best danny is the best so my name is danny boy as you already hear us so yeah in
case you think you need my help avoid for you guys and you're gonna be the best vacation in the world
because i'm gonna be healthy for that be like it's supposed to be he's the best for tours as
well right you can hook them up on tours yeah yeah i have a friend from canada philippines europe
united states everywhere so i hope i have a new friend too and now you do new friend right
here the best one see you soon you guys this has been one of the best beach days
we've had in a very long time i mean not even just counting the year and a half pandemic and that's
still going on but even before those times this is an incredible beach if you're coming to punta cana
make sure you come here with the help of danny boy of course now i think we're just gonna go
back to our condo and figure out what we're gonna do for the rest of the video to be honest well we
are not at the beach anymore we've come back to our apartment if you wanted to find out a little
bit about where we're staying we did a little tour in the last video so go back and watch that
but what an amazing beach day that was i guess was sort of our first like excursion to a beach
that we'll do here probably one of very many hopefully we'll visit lots of different beaches
throughout the dominican republic while we're here for quite a few months oh that beach lived
up to the hype i mean danny boy the person was in the video earlier told us that that is one of the
best beaches around and some other people had told us people back home before before we left we said
we're going to punta cana first and they said you have to go yeah just everything about it i don't
even think we touched on just the whole vibe of the beach it reminded me of some beaches in
curacao when we were there a long time ago as well it was just yeah very peaceful the food was good
i think if you went on a weekend the vibe would be quite different like everybody comes out and
it'd be more of a party beach but today it was just like super chill relaxing yeah we're fully
aware i mean it's october and we know this is not in high season it's part of the reason that
we came to punta cana now um just to kind of get some of this to ourselves but oh yeah it's
at that beach the sands pristine if you're coming to punta cana try to get off the resorts i assume
many of you will be going to resorts try to get off them and go visit that amazing unless
you're staying at dreams which we drove by that is great on the beach a lovely location yeah no
it's a lot of fun i think if you are staying at a one of the resorts like the resort we stayed at
it's worth the drive because you get to see some of the local villages and just the whole way there
is interesting and it's a lot of fun the dominican people are just so so fun to be around honestly
for sure all right we're back inside here and we decided to get some delivery tonight we're going
to order in some pizza and we're in the process of that here now on whatsapp if you guys don't know
what whatsapp is i'm not sure how you wouldn't it's probably the most popular chat app in the
world except for like canada in the united states we don't really use it but when you're traveling
everyone uses it including this pizza shop that i'm ordering from so we got two pizzas
on the way excited to eat normally we've been going out to eat but today was a beach day we're
pretty tired to be honest and just feel like ordering it i know we mentioned this in the
last video we finished it here in the apartment at night time and the lighting is so bad i'm sorry we
look so weird and orange and shiny and strange but it really is the lighting our skin does not look
like this and we spend some time in the sun but it's not that bad today we did have our sunscreen
on but the other reason we decided to eat in tonight was because a few days ago uh when we
moved into this apartment we bought a few bottles of wine and we haven't really even touched them so
we thought why not stay in the navy road all day open a bottle of white wine do you remember what
that is you actually opened this one i know it's sauvignon blanc but i can't remember what it is
we'll pretend we know yeah something is somewhere is it good though yeah it is quite
good it was nice and cold pizza's here that was fast we're talking like 25 minutes it was
25 minutes it was fast it was easy we had no issues we you know it like when you're ordering
from some place that's a different language yeah i think we thought there'd be lots of problems or
a little nervous about doing it but it was super easy this looks legit though it's got that kind of
italian style crust like it's a thin crust pizza but this looks like it's from a wood oven which is
totally our jam this guy is um there's mozzarella provolone italian sausage and some hot peppers
yeah that was that spicy pizza i think i said the one that i have over here is a white pizza it has
arugula a red onion parmesan cheese gorgonzola sounds delicious as well and the nice thing about
this pizza place it was called um pizza pavero by the way pizza uh they had two sizes so you
get a personal size or oh or medium medium or large yeah this is perfect which is great for
us and we have to have two types of two types of these are personal sizes i don't know if you
can tell they're not that big but we're just gonna share here we go let's try the uh spicy one first
oh yeah oh yum you guys see that oh yeah it's very picante very spicy
that cheese is spot on we have the uh provolone mozzarella but the sausage is really good as well
there's like little pops of flavor in there and then we're gonna have to try that crust
crust it's all about the crust with pizza
oh baby
new guys his pizza is rated really high we were checking it out on google and other sites it is
worth it it's very rare something lives up to the hype but totally our style of pizza some of the
better food we've had here yet honestly so good i'm gonna try this white pizza in general i'm more
of a fan and i order it more often white pizza than trevor does i love it he always thinks he
doesn't like it and then ends up loving it this is true very true but we are sharing compact theater
that's a good sign there's something about arugula on pizza huh that combination wow good the only
thing i'm missing is some chili oil this would be so good dipped in chili oil we just don't have
any here but it would be excellent but there's a really really nice crunch from the onions on there
remember i always love like trevor just said arugula is like the um french fry of the lettuce
world it's so good and it's like the secret weapon on a pizza this is some legit pizza well that was
quite the day started off at that incredible beach honestly one of the best beaches i've ever seen
we've ever seen and the color of that water yeah it's gonna go up there in our top beaches ever
maybe the best lunch on a beach as well i mean fried chicken tostones papas what else do we got
it was just a perfect day and then it's not too far from where we're staying now just like
a 20-minute drive away back at our apartment you guys have seen more of the apartment in the last
video which is nice to dip in the pool after the beach and then that pizza was so good and
i don't think we said it was really really well priced i think it was 11 usd for the two pizzas so
not bad at all that's pretty good and they're like an eight or nine inch pizza and incredible pizza
well that's gonna do it for our time here in punta cana yeah so in the next video we will
be in santa domingo going to the big city off to the big city and it's exciting because we just
haven't been to a big city in a while it's been a long time since we've been we were in montreal
like a couple of months ago but a new beginning a new big city that's a better way to phrase it
yeah montreal is pretty big but a new big city we're going to be i think just in the colonial
uh area but it looks spectacular we've heard so many good things again everybody keeps telling us
we have to go yeah so that's the plan you're gonna see a couple videos from there and then we're
off to the north and thanks by the way for all the suggestions everyone keeps telling us
