forget to subscribe to this channel if you're new and hit the like button start today's video at a
restaurant we have come to about three or four times since we've arrived in brazil it's called
cabral and we've come here because it's very close to where my in-laws live very very close
just along the road and it's very good every time we've come here we've been impressed
lots of good seafood local seafood we've got some meat dish as well but it's mostly seafood
so we're gonna have lunch today right here and then we're gonna head off and i'll be drive a
bit of road trip later on and see what we get up to and he's getting there so i'm starving
brazilian food is amazing and what i love most about it is that it's unique in every different
state and in fact every different city in brazil here in itapema in santa catarina
state seafood is everything and there's a huge variety to choose from fresh from the ocean
seafood is served in many ways often with fresh salads and vegetables but usually with rice and
piranha which is like a thick soup containing prawns and other seafood and it's packed with
flavor rice and piranha go perfectly with any seafood dish we're here at our favorite restaurant
called cabral
and they sell something which we have lots of in the uk but we don't need them i've never
ever seen this on the menu in the uk before conger eel. we have lots of them in the uk
i used to catch some when i was fishing there really really big ones but we don't eat them
but i saw on the menu i thought well let's give it a try so we'll see we'll see what it's like
i'm curious conger eel. never ever tried it before and i've caught lots of them before
nice try that fish real nice
very white and thick me
well that was really really good as always it's been like the third or
fourth time we've been to this place since we got here i think it's a local favorite but um
anyway we're gonna jump in the car and we're gonna drive about 30 minutes from here
it's another city that i've been wanting to have a look at
let's sit here from up here looks really really really cool there's mountains all the way behind
the beach down below there's a couple of islands and stuff as well it's called
cambodia cambodia cambodia ??? balneario camboriu. there it looks massive some of
the buildings are huge it's not really easy to see from the camera but that one there is
actually ginormous cool place we're going to go and i will be driving have a wee look
being so close to the new year's eve celebrations which is one of the busiest
holiday periods in the brazilian calendar this place was absolutely
packed it was so busy in fact that we couldn't find anywhere to get parked
so we decided to drive through the city instead so we could get a better look from the car window
it's also the place where you'll find the tallest apartment blocks and condos anywhere in brazil
with several enormous projects still under construction as i film this video the largest
project known as the yacht house twin towers are two identical buildings of over 280 meters in
height these will be the tallest apartment blocks in the western hemisphere once completed and
it's also said that brazilian footballer neymar even bought a penthouse in one of the buildings
and i still can't pronounce the name of this city unlike many of the other beach cities
in the south brazil it's primarily a holiday destination its population fluctuates wildly
going from a stable 150,000 throughout the year to over a million people during the holidays
i've been to a lot of busy about cities in my life
this is unbelievable it's like it's like manhattan literally manhattan on the beach the buildings are
massive there are so many people the beach there as you can probably see behind me is so crowded
you can't even see the water it's just like like ants there's so many people it's unbelievable
it's very very modern and built up with lots of very fancy very high tall buildings on the beach
this is a rich city as far as i've been to cities across brazil
this is a very rich city it's kind of interesting
the city is much loved mainly because of its sprawling beaches and warm weather during the
summer months as well as its vibrant nightlife scene the city has many bars and restaurants to
choose from hopefully when things quieten down a little bit i'll be able to come back and check
this place out properly it's a bit of a playboy's paradise in many ways and unlike some other
places in brazil it's not uncommon to see very expensive supercars cruising through the streets
all right i think i've cracked it i've never been
to this place i want to mention but i think this place here now
balneario
camboriu this place is like brazil's dubai and i've never been to dubai i've seen a lot
of pictures and vlogs and stuff this place is like dubai of brazil we decided to head
back to itapema to get ready for the new year's eve celebrations my brother-in-law
made me this to try it's a popular tea drink here in the south of brazil called chimarrao
or mate tea it's drunk throughout the south of brazil but also many other parts of south america
i think it's fair to say though it's definitely an acquired taste
we also had some traditional homemade chocolate cake
and then my favorite brazil's famous guarana soft drink but this one wasn't one of the
more common ones it's called pureza a sweeter version i really enjoyed it
as darkness grew in it was time to celebrate new year's eve the traditional brazilian way
by heading off to the beach to watch the fireworks the beach was absolutely packed
with people and you'll notice that we were all wearing white this is a very
typical brazilian tradition which is said to bring luck into the new year
oh
uh
and after the biels is also tradition to enter into the ocean and jump over the first seven waves
i obliged
but i then decided it was so warm that i just had to go right in and go for a swim
i also brought some of my own hog mini traditions with me as well all the way
from scotland a whiskey dram to bring in the new years in the scottish style
and as for new year's morning another final tradition for brazil
joining the masses back on the beach
new year's day in brazil the beach is do consider becoming a patron of mine check
