Puebla is such a beautiful city to explore! If you’re ever in need of currency exchange, I highly recommend Coordex. They have several locations around the city, and it's the only place to cash American checks. Perfect for tourists!
Wow, a nearly private dolphin tour! The beaches look beautiful, I might be interested in the one that requires a hike. Even though you mentioned it was cold, everything looked really serene and empty, and the lack of other tourists seemed pretty nice.
If we had hiking shoes with us I would have changed our planes to hike to that beach! I think it’s called Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo. In the summer they have water taxi’s there too but I bet it’s a lot more crowded. I was amazed at how empty everything was compared with everywhere we went in Lisbon.
Hi! I used a few songs in this video. They are Should I Let Go and Tell Me Again What I’m Missing by oomiee, On A Wire (Instrumental) by The Eastern Plain, and Intimacy by Alex Kehm.
After having just been there and just posted a (second-rate) video myself earlier this week entitled “Our day trip to Sintra from Lisbon,” I can 100% agree you need a couple days to take this place in! We had no idea there was so much to see. Thanks for showing us what we missed!
I don’t know where you went but it was much cheaper than any desirable beach destination in the US. Maybe to buy property it’s as expensive since that isn’t something I’ve looked into but food, accommodation, and activities were cheaper. I never felt unsafe in La Paz or while traveling through the area. That doesn’t mean things don’t happen but that can happen anywhere.
Staying in the historic center would be a great location but it can be expensive. We stayed in San Pedro Santa just outside of Sintra and it was only a 5€ ride share each morning to the historic center and it was much more affordable. 😊
I think lots of places have a different names in different languages. I believe Bruges is what we call it in English as well but I understand there is a history with the French so maybe Brugge is preferred? Either way that’s good to know. Thanks for sharing 😊
De Bosrand is not so nice when you just need a packet of seeds or a new spade. Having to find your way through all the seasonall tinsel. They do easter as well. I think they keep three Chinese villages in full emplyment with all their LED-lit goodies. I would like one of their life sized polyester gorrilas for my allotment though. But they're a bit dear
Haha I imagine it’s not a store you can get in and out of quickly. I definitely have the same problem with IKEA too. Now I’m sad I missed the life size gorillas 😂
Great list of places to go and things to do in the area! I also super loved the quick shot of the prickly pear chandelier at 2:41! If you only had day of these locations, which would you choose?
That was at the Casa de los Venados. They have a huge collection of Mexican folk art. It was a really unique spot to visit. I would have to choose La Paz! Especially if I can go back during whale shark season. I just love the beach so much but I do think about the cochinita pibil from Valladolid often 🤤
I don’t know if it really has a name. I didn’t see one on Google maps but if you look up Jenni’s Quesadillas it’s around the corner on the street in front of Vegano.
This is what the website says: All the new buses have low floors, allowing easier access. In addition, an access ramp for wheelchairs can be deployed if needed, and if the bus stop has a platform. For trams, a permanent edge has been added to all the PMR (people with reduced mobility) entrances of the trams to limit the space between the platform and the door sill to 3 cm. What's more, to avoid accidents caused by doors closing automatically, the blue buttons enable people with disabilities to board and get off at their own speed. We also recommend looking at the explanatory icons near the doors. www.lignesdazur.com/en/faq#anchor-46
Congratulations! Of all the English language Tolantongo videos, this one has the most helpful logistical information. Starting in 1983, before the resort was developed, I've visited Tolantongo five times, in May, June, July, November, and December, most recently spending four nights down in that canyon in 2023. The weather was great each time I was there. The food is tasty but neither classy nor upscale there, and not surprisingly it costs a bit more than is usually charged by restaurants located in small towns and Mexico City's working-class neighborhoods. When arriving at MEX by no later than mid-afternoon, it is very convenient to bus directly from that airport to the City of Pachuca and then quickly transfer to another bus that will take you to Ixmiquilpan, Tolantongo's attractive gateway town/market center. After arriving in Ixmiquilpan early in the evening and spending the night there, the next morning it is possible to visit that town's market (fresh fruit, pastries, peanuts, cheese, and hand-made tortillas to take to Tolantongo) and the unusual colonial era church before busing onward to Tolantongo, arriving at the 'resort' by either mid-day or mid-afternoon. Doing so three times on non-holiday weekdays, I've always been able to get a room. For people who arrive by bus rather than private car, it is logistically much more convenient to stay at the riverside La Gruta hotel rather than the Paraiso Escondido lodgings that are mentioned in the video. Traveling up from the river to the Paraiso Escondido area, with its many pools, can be accomplished either by taking a shuttle or by walking for thirty-five minutes along a path that passes through attractive scenery.
Thank you! I appreciate you adding this first hand information on the transportation situation since we didn’t take that method but maybe next time. We’ll be back for sure 😊
Frites Atelier is a Dutch chain made for tourists, not even 30m from there is an authentic Ghent chip shop, Frituur bij Filip which even has a better rating on Google Maps. I don't understand why RU-vid content makers do their homework so badly. The waffle you ate is a Liège waffle, you eat it without anything. The Brussels waffle on the other hand you can eat with strawberries and whipped cream.
Thanks for sharing! I just said it was popular 🤷🏼♀️ we didn’t eat there so I can’t comment much else on it. Appreciate the recommendations though. We went with some friends who had been before and they liked the place we went to so that’s where we went. Again I’m not claiming to be an expert just sharing what we did and how we liked it. I didn’t know I had to be an expert to share my experience…
Hi there! Thanks for the video -- was curious if you had three nights to base in one city, would it be Ghent or Bruges? We are doing 3 nights in one of those cities (with the understanding of taking trains each day to other the other one we don't stay in + other parts of Belgium), and I know Bruges is the "fairytale city" but I heard it closes much earlier than most. We are going to both cities either way, but I kind of figured Ghent made a lot of sense, for its "central" location in Belgium, and because it was a University town. We are going over Thanksgiving, so I understand everything will be dark early, but we will be going to the Christmas markets, of course. What do you think?
From Ghent you can reach Bruges in half an hour by train, but also Brussels in half an hour. That is why I would choose Ghent. The Ghent Christmas market starts on December 5th.
The Christmas market in Bruges starts earlier (we went at Thanksgiving last year as well) and it was fun but the market was smaller and underwhelming in my opinion but the entire town is so cute. I liked it more than Ghent (I know our local friend may have thoughts on that 😅), but I think Ghent needed more time to grow on me. If you want central and nightlight then I’d say Ghent but if you want romantic and slow then I’d say Bruges. It’s nice to be able to beat the day trippers in the morning in Bruges too and have some quiet before everyone arrives.
Yes this is a popular tourist attraction in Mexico City. You can’t go into the theater whenever you want but anyone can buy tickets to a performance in the theater. They start off very affordable as cheap as 20 pesos. They also offer tours sometimes too so you can check there what tours they offer each day.
I went hiking in the area there (06/71) just listening to "California Dreaming" by the Mama's and tjhe Papa's. Sweeping beauty and that sea breeze was lovely. You just Don't forget it!
@@AnyoneCanTravel Yes, the Dutch language spells a lot of vowel sounds differently than we do in English, but the upside is that the link between sound and spelling is much more consistent in Dutch. The long a sound (like you're saying for Leiden) is usually spelled "ee" in Dutch, as in "veel" (many), "een" (the number 1) or Amstelveen. My husband and I are moving to Leiden soon. :)
Thank you very much for your video . I like to ask from Nice Airport Terminal 2, if I need to take the tram to the Parc Phoenix station , which pass the Grand Arenas, how should I pay with the LaCarte? Many thanks.
Take the tram to grand arenas and get off the tram. Buy your La Carte and add a ticket to it or add a pass. Get back on the tram and go to Parc Phoenix station 😊 it’s also only a 13 minute walk from Grand Arenas (950 meters) so you could probably just walk too if you don’t have too much stuff or aren’t in a hurry.
Hi, thank you for your video. You mentioned you were there in July. I noticed everyone in jackets due to the rain, but was it cooler there as well? Also, I plan on buying tickets to a performance, but it is the last row at the very top, would I be able to see the performance clearly?
The weather is generally nice because of the elevation it doesn’t get too hot but it can cooler in the evening. Depends a little what you’re used to though. I think it depends if you’re in a corner or more centered. We were at the top and could see everything but they looked pretty small 😂
When you came into frankfurt did you have to come through the train station that is known for being sketchy with drug and the red light district trying to avoid it. Thanks
Thank you so much for this! I’ll have a 10-hour layover in Frankfurt in Aug 24 and this is exactly what I would like to do, your video has been most helpful. I’ll really appreciate your comments to these questions: 1) Do you need to go through German customs to show your passport (I am a US citizen) to get admitted into Germany? How do you pay for the train fare, Euros, US dollars, credit card? Same for food in town? Can you get by with English only? Back at the airport how long you think it takes to get through security -easy, moderate, super busy? Thank you so much in advance. Super excited, this will be my first time ever setting foot in Europe!
Hi! I’m so glad you found this helpful. I hope you have a wonderful trip. You’ll love Europe I’m sure 😊 1. If Frankfurt is your first stop in the EU then yes you will need to through customs and immigration and show your passport. 2. We prefer to use a credit card with no foreign transaction fees, but you should be able to pay with euro cash too. No US dollars though. For both fares and food. 3. We had no problems speaking English but worst case you can always just point at the food you want and signal how many tickets with your fingers. 4. For security it really depends on the time of day and time of year. I would give yourself two hours but check security conditions the day of as well in case it’s extra busy. If this is your last stop before leaving Europe remember you need to go through immigration and customs again too. When we visited in October it was easy though. Have a wonderful trip! Please let me know if you have any other questions 😊
