I tell you right now I could quite happily spend all day every day
in one of these sun lounges with this beautiful pool some guac and some
cocktails hey you guys Phoebe here from Little Grey Box with Matt behind the
camera today we are in Mexico on the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula because we are exploring Los Cabos
If you missed our first episode
make sure you go back and watch that right now so you are all caught up
Now to help you and travel well we're going to be sharing all of our experiences and
travel tips along the way be sure to subscribe right now so you don't miss a
single episode we are starting things off today in Los Tamaroindos a
beautiful a farm-to-table experience we're gonna be joining in a cooking
class and tasting and trying and preparing some amazing local food let's
get in and get started so we are making our lunch the guys over here are making a
beautiful ceviche it looks absolutely amazing and me, of course, I'm making a
cauliflower ceviche you know I love my veggies
(music)
All my dreams have come true!
Look at this monster bowl of guacamole! This is all mine, what are you guys having?
(non-staged laughter :)
The ones that we have here are lighter and these ones are more oily
everything that we've used today has
been growing here onsite and what hasn't has been locally sourced so the
food has this incredible flavour I mean we hear the terms farm-to-table a lot, right?
it's kind of like a buzzword over the last couple of years... but here it is true
and you can tell the difference when we are trying and tasting all the food
Now if this is something that you think you would be interested in doing they run
cooking classes daily here at Los Tamarindos from 10 a.m. and then you
get to eat lunch afterwards so there's definitely a reward after all that work
(music)
We are as a little place called Amigos now this spot was about an hour or so
drive from our hotel the Viceroy which we're gonna be checking into properly
and showing you guys a little bit later but for now, we are here because we're
gonna do a really fun activity this afternoon we are going horseback riding
(music)
So we have ridden up to this beautiful point we rode down along the beach and
up here overlooking the Mexican Pacific the sunset is starting to happen out
here and these horses are just beautiful you guys they're so lovely and quiet I've been
getting some galloping practice and I'm still getting there I really want to get
up to it, but just keep practising and this is such a fun
fun experience these horses are lovely the scenery is beautiful
our guide is amazing I don't know what more I could possibly ask for
(music)
After an absolutely huge day of activities, Matt and I are both
exhausted but lucky for us our incredible hotel, Viceroy has an amazing
rooftop bar and restaurants Cielomar so we are starting with some cocktails you guys
Gracias, that looks so good
oh my gosh!
Do you guys remember in the last video I told you that I had made a
commitment to myself to eat guacamole at every lunch and every dinner and I have
been sticking to it and this looks like a mighty fine guac to me
(music)
Good morning you guys, we are waking up here at our beautiful resort, Viceroy
now when we got to our room last night it was very dark. We want you to see it
in its full glory so we're gonna be showing you the room, doing that tour
and a tour of the resort a little bit later today but for now we're gonna do a
breakfast tour because this breakfast is insane oh my goodness
I have got this beautiful plant-based breakfast burrito it is incredibly
beautiful looking and so vibrant on the plate it smells amazing matt has got
these beautiful eggs over here so let's just dig in and give this a go
mmmmm! that is all things smoky and spiced and like... Middle Eastern
Oh my gosh it's so good
(music)
All right you guys it's time for a
little adventure P look at me with all of my gear on
So we are doing a kayak and
snorkel adventure with guys at High Tide Sea Expeditions we are going
to be getting into our kayak and paddling all the way out to The Arch and
Lovers Beach when we jump off there we are going to be doing a bit of snorkelling
and looking around and I'm so, so excited for Matt to be doing all the paddling today
(music)
We made it to The Arch! The kayak ride out here was a little challenging on the
old shoulders but you can get much closer in a kayak than we could in a boat
this is the most famous spot in all of Los Cabos and it's so cool to be here
now there's a whole colony of sea lions over there let's go check those out
Look at them!
Hey sea lions!
(music)
Oh my gosh, the snorkelling here is absolutely unreal!
I mean I have snorkelled in a lot of places but this has been spectacular
There are so many different species of fish down there all bright and vibrant colours
and so many schools of fish as well it's absolutely gorgeous you guys
Guys, if you get the chance to come and do this you really should and look behind me
Cliffs and beach... this place is perfect
(music)
We have been teasing you guys with our hotel room reveal but it's finally time to
show you our incredible modern room here at Viceroy, let's start with the
bathroom which is towards the back now this huge big mirror it has this
great backlighting so you can do your makeup really well you can see really
easily two rainforest showerheads so you can both be in there at the same time
and also if you don't want to get your hair wet they have that handheld
showerhead option as well
Alexa, what time is it?
Alexa: The time is 4:38 pm
Alexa is there a YouTube channel called Little Grey Box?
Alexa: Sorry, I don't know that
This is really embarrassing
Alexa doesn't know who we are
That's alright, most people don't
Now we've got this really big comfortable bed three really big
cushy pillows look at those those are real comfy pillows we had the best sleep
in here last night that bed you just kind of melt into it across from the bed is
the biggest hotel television I think I have ever seen now come out here to the
main event and what I love about this is that this is huge this big balcony and
then out further you can see the pools and the hot tub down further there's more
beachfront pools it is just the perfect place to relax and unwind and we are
absolutely loving it here
(music)
So in addition to that amazing room the real drawcard here is of course the pools
the water in this one is so warm it looks like there's a hot tub over there
so we're gonna go check that out they have fireplaces going later on in the
night it's just so relaxing and peaceful I tell you right now I could quite
happily spend all day every day in one of these sun lounges with this beautiful
pool some guacamole and some cocktails
(music)
For dinner, we are back at Cielomar the beautiful rooftop bar and restaurant
area here on the top of Viceroy they do like lots of BBQ flame fire inspired
food here and you know I had to have it I'm not even going to make any apologies
let me spin the light around... pan on down to this Matthew
