Morning, day two. I'm gonna take a shower and head out
0:04
Good morning. Morning. I would like to check out these. And we are out. Today we're down to 57 euros 50 cents, which isn't the best
0:24
we started with 114 yesterday blew through most of the budget so today i need to be smart with my
0:31
money so i've checked out of that hostel that cost 20 euros i need to find something cheaper
0:35
that doesn't eat too much into my budget so at least i have money for food and i can like do
0:42
some things in the city i have absolutely no idea where i am but that's the whole fun of exploring
0:47
isn't it all right so just having a look and i found a cheaper hostel for 11 euros 70. it's called
0:57
safe stay i'm gonna head there right now check and drop my bag off and then crack on up the day
1:07
i'd like to book a room all right so i just found a weekly activity calendar and you've got surf
1:12
classes today that's why not the price shall we can i ask um how much the surf classes sorry for
1:20
40 euros 40 40 yes but i know cheaper option tell this to not oh yeah and for 10 euros i think they
1:28
still have the discount for 10 euros everything included okay sounds good yes way better they've
1:34
got a few things going on breakfast buffet every morning 8 to 11. 3 euros 50 which isn't bad at
1:41
So the hostel looks pretty decent. It's not as fancy as the previous one
1:46
It's got like your standard necessities and it's cheaper. It's got a kitchen
1:50
it's got a staging area, we've got like fun things to do, freaking surf classes
1:55
So happy days. 13 euros 25, not bad at all. Bringing our tour all down to 44 euros 25
2:02
I think we can manage. So I just found a brain on the wall and a face on the wall
2:10
I don know if it part of like a treasure map around the city where they got like little brains dotted around I know they got things like that in other cities um right now it starting to drizzle my camera getting wet i haven had breakfast so i not really in the
2:26
spirits for hunting for brains and faces all right so i've been trying to find somewhere to have
2:33
breakfast but i can't seem to find anything vegetarian that also looks delicious okay so
2:40
So right now the options are either smoked salmon toast, which comes with eggs and salmon
2:48
cod toast, ham toast, chicken burrito bowl or pancakes. Pancakes it is
2:56
I've got a steak knife and fork for my pancakes. Oh my god. Look
3:03
It's a lot of jam in it. I thought it was going to come with honey
3:09
Alright, here's the dilemma, right? Being in a foreign country and wanting to experience their food and their culture
3:16
and how they make it specifically to them, you get to maybe try things in a different way
3:24
So this pancake has been absolutely smothered in jam, which makes it a little bit uncomfortable to eat
3:31
Now, do you ask for new pancakes with less jam or no jam at all and actually enjoy your meal
3:43
Or do you accept that this is how the meal is made in this part of the world
3:49
So I love the pancakes. Okay. I just feel like there's a lot, there's like too much jam in it
3:58
Okay. And I can sit through it and I can eat it. But I won't enjoy it. But I can eat it
4:05
But I'm saying, if you want me to enjoy it, can it have no jam at all
4:09
Like, just little... look. The jam is just all over it. Yes. I understand your idea and your request. However... Okay. However... Yeah
4:22
However is... With honey, not with jam. Okay. Yes I know what is honey
4:31
I know. But for the red fruit pancake it okay red fruit pancake with honey not with jam The pancake swaps out for one with just honey and no jam
4:57
So pancake and bottle of water equals 11.50 Remind us that from our toll and we have 32 euros 75
5:05
it's slowly starting to become a survival challenge it's no right now I
5:13
feel like chilling having breakfast relaxing walking around next thing you know I'll be trying to think of what am I gonna eat where am I gonna sleep I'm
5:23
thinking I want to take one of those overground trams so I'm gonna have to
5:26
top up my travel card with one euro fifty to be able to get it
5:35
so the journey is a lot more chaotic than you'd expect okay we've managed to get the window open
5:48
we'll go ahead stick it out the carriage and we're riding down the road the tram has come to a few
5:54
stops i'm still not decided on where i'll be getting off i might want to experience it a
6:01
little bit longer. Okay we seem to have reached the last stop. I'm gonna have to
6:06
ask the driver if he can take me all the way back where I came from
6:11
Alright so while I'm waiting for the carriage to go back where it came from
6:15
there is a graveyard over here. We could walk in and see what it's about. So
6:21
currently walking around the graveyard and it is a bit creepy. So over here they
6:28
almost build houses for their dead instead of just gravestones and it
6:33
definitely has this like vibe to it. It's currently 4 o'clock just walking around. I want to see if I can find something else to do and then
6:46
find some lunch. Alright it's almost 5.30 so I'm gonna grab late lunch slash dinner. I just
6:54
found a place that has a buffet for nine euros 90 so not too bad let check out
7:21
I am filled to the brim. To be honest I was full after the first one but I felt like I had to go for a second
7:30
And now my stomach is like just completely packed full. I had to find somewhere to sit down and let some of this food digest
7:38
So that was 11 euro 40 for the buffet and a bottle of water. Remind us that from our total
7:44
and we are left with 19 euros 85 cents all right so i found a comedy club starting
7:52
now actually 7 30 up until 12 a.m it's free to enter so i'm gonna head over there and laugh the
8:00
night away so i've just got into a comedy show and apparently the minimum consumption is 10
8:08
So you couldn't just sit here and watch the comedy. You need to spend one. Here I was thinking it was free
8:15
Now seeing I've just had a haughty lunch, my consumption this evening is going to have to be drinks
8:23
Oh my goodness! How are we doing guys? I didn't hear a single thing
8:29
Alright, that's what I like to hear. Alright so I've been told I can't film the comedy show so it's going to be a bit tricky
8:38
to show you guys what happens from here on but I'll give you a recap either after here
8:46
or tomorrow. Alright that was an interesting comedy show. That brings our total down to 9.85 euros
