We will be in Siquijor in 5 weeks time - cant wait! We were in Cambugahay in 2011 and there was no one there. We love Siquijor we keep going back there. There is a little night life in San Juan strip where Dagsa is, also in JJ’s Backpackers. There’s lots of BBQ at the Siquijor promenade at night too. Enjoy PH.
For that price, I don’t think you will have many choices- which is fine! Your seats don’t matter too much because there is so much to see and do. I would just try for an aisle seat so you don’t get stuck. Covered seats and boxes are prolly well over $300. If it rains all day that would be rough but that’s unlikely. Get there early!
Sorry Greece but Croatia has much, much more diverse culture, regions, even climate zones, types of landscapes and nature, local traditions than All Greece! Croatia is huge and interesting mix of Central, Southeastern and Mediterranean Europe, has had numerous influences throughout history and has much more than just limestone cities, besches and sun! All of you are visiting predominantly coastal Croatia which I do get to some point but, folks, this is only one half of Croatia while the other half if continental! This country has a whole lot more to offer than just very crowded, hyped and usually much more expensive Adriatic places! For the starters, theres magnificent and often overlooked capital city of Zagreb that is full of amazing architecture, history, major attractions, interesting vibe, quirky and world class museums, astonising city parks and greenery, great cuisine... Also in continental Croatia you'll find beautiful baroque era city of Varaždin, grand medieval castles Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and many more, Kumrovec - beautiful open air ethno village with preserved traditional Zagorje region architecture and museum of Josip Broz Tito birthplace, ... There's also Star shaped Karlovac old city centre, Sisak fort, old towns of Samobor, Čakovec, Đurđevac, ... In eastern Croatia you'll also find amazing places: city of Osijek - beautiful place with amazing old town in baroque star shaped fort, Slavonski Brod - city with even larger grand star shaped fort and beautiful old Franciscan monastery and large central square, beautiful town of Požega with famous nearby Kutjevo vineyards, small town Đakovo with grand cathedral and old noble horse stables, medieval Ilok with interesting walls, palace and vineries, Vukovar for its huge historical importance with several great museums, Baranja region beautiful old villages andamazing food and vines, Kopački rit nature park, Papuk nature preserve... And this is still not the full list!
Don’t be so idiotic. Greece is bigger than Croatia and it’s much more than just islands and beaches. Mainland Greece itself is stunning, full of diverse landscapes ranging from dry and barren Attica in the south to mountainous Epirus to the large valleys of Thessaly and Macedonia. There are many natural parks, amazing sceneries, old towns, traditions, and delicious food. It’s a country with a longer and more famous history than Croatia. Zagreb is a nice city, but it’s much younger than the Greek cities of Athens, Thessaloniki, and Larisa, which have been around since before Christ. Greece is also full of monasteries and ancient oracles that people all over the world, and especially Slavs, come to see. Croatia is very nice, but it’s not Greece. Don’t joke yourself.
@@artemisrafti3956 You obviously haven't been to or have been just a tiny fraction of places in Croatia! And what's more "idiotic" other than being arrogant with very modest knowledge, or even better, to offend others you don't agree with instead of polite conversation!? And you're showing your "great knowledge" about Croatia in such a grandiose way that this makes me laugh a lot! 😁 Maybe Croatia isn't as large as Greece or it doesn't have such old towns but you're pretty much flying in your absurd showcase of sheer ignorance! Coastal Croatia also has cities and towns that had it's foundation very deep in antic times, several centuries before Christ, oldest cathedral worldwide is located guess where - in Split, Croatia likewise largest relatively preserved Roman palace! One of the 6 best preserved Roman amphitheaters in world is also located in Croatia, in city of Pula and this list could go on and on for this part of history and many others. For a smaller country and population Croatia has always punched much above it's level in so many areas which can be seen even today or in recent history. And yes, when it comes to culture/ climate/ tradition regardless of it's size Croatia is much, much more diverse than almost predominantly Mediterranean Greece, since this is country located at the crossroads of several European regions: alongside Mediterranean, also continental Middle European regions and in near proximity of Alps region. Unlike Greece, Croatia has had direct numerous influences in culture which is reflected in extremely diverse traditions, local vernacular and urban architecture, local language practices, customs, ... Something that are many well educated people or those that have visited country for several times accustomed with. And maybe Zagreb is younger than Athens, although it has little shy of 1000 years (it also had Roman settlement!) from it's foundation, but as such are many famous cities across the world like Vienna, London, Paris, Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam... but that doesn't make them anyhow less interesting or valuable. Greece is undeniably beautiful and interesting country but so is Croatia although it is much less hyped and under the flashlights although it has to offer countless amazing stuff at it's own, many of which you would not typically find in Greece no matter how old it might be! These two are different countries and both have to offer a lot for wide range of visitors with different interests!
Croatia has more beautiful large cities, but the Greek old towns are more beautiful than the Croatian cities imo. Oia, Corfu Old Town, Rhodes Old Town, Mykonos Old Town, Amorgos Old Town, Symi Port, Hydra Port, Monemvasia, Nafplio, the Mani Peninsula towns, Parga, etc. Greece has plenty of beautiful old towns.
Sorry Croatia, but Greece is… Greece Now what you need to know about Greece is that you have many choices to go that are way more cheaper and you get the same greek vibe (4SUMMER&WINTER) If anyone wants to visit just do a good research 👍 Ps Nice vlog 😉

Great video Dave! You def deserve more Subs! Loved the fast cuts on this one and the plethora of info. Dubrovnik is amazing and I am glad you tried that Karlovacko beer! Also, Mostar is one of my favorite cities ever!
Hey, did you buy any passes to use the pool in Sheraton and Hyatt? If not, is it allowed to enter if you are not residing in that hotel. I am planning to visit hawaii and just curious how can we get access to their pools as I will be not residing in one of these hotels. Thanks.
We did not buy passes. The Hyatt was definitely open to the public. Their grotto bar even has an entrance along the Beach Walk. I'm not as certain regarding the Sheraton, but nobody was checking. We gave them business at their pool bar and we felt totally welcomed.
Heading there in July for our Honeymoon part 1, IS Flora Farm a whole day event or what time do you recommend getting there? what form of transportation and cost? Thanks
I took an Uber, if you don’t have a car, I think your only option is Uber/taxi. Probably $30. I think Flora Farms is a half day event. Be best to go before sunset, have drinks and tour the farm in daylight. Then, have dinner. After dinner, enjoy the live music at night. 4 to 5 hour experience, and be sure to make a reservation. 4pm-9pm would be ideal.
I’ve always said that experiencing the Kentucky Derby in person is just one of those one-time bucket list things I’ve wanted to do. I’ve always loved horses, even if I’ve very rarely been able to be near them or ride them. But after seeing a handful of actual experience videos like this? I’m kind of split. First off, it seems like the weather is frequently rainy, or else hot. And if I did it right and dressed up, that could be pretty uncomfortable. I’m also a very healthy eater and vegetarian, so judging by the menu, a lot of the included food would be lost on me. I’m also a little amazed that a lot of areas at Churchill look so threadbare, rough, or even industrial for being probably the most famous horse race in the world, that’s frequented by lots of millionaires or even billionaires. I’d expect better. Some of the atmosphere and the people just don’t seem very classy either, and borderline tacky. Kind of like NASCAR, which I’m very much not into because of the people mainly, but not nearly as bad. Horse racing just seems a lot classier and refined in other places like Europe to me. BUT! Despite all of those criticisms, I would actually still like to go one year. If I did go just one time too, it would have to be for the actual Derby. Even if I bought the cheapest tickets. It would be fun to do the bourbon trail too, as I’m into whiskey of all types.
You aren't wrong. It is threadbare. Basically, to get what you are looking for, you would need to spend more and get into the VIP areas/VIP parties. It does sound like something you would still find enjoyment in attending though. As long as you are prepared for the craziness of it, it's not too bad.
Best intro ever! Whenever I look up best things to do in places I always run across food and drink tours and I honestly never thought much about doing it, but I might be changing my mind now.
Thanks for the tips. Hope to attend a Kentucky Derby some day. If I can get through the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, I should be able to manage Derby Day!
