straight this way the last one I’m already thinking of a little little morning Excursion look at that uh but also just judging from the vegetation I asked her she says there’s no path up there also uh the grass looks super tall and the guy uh who drove me here on the motorbike he did say there are snakes here but uh yeah not too often but then again I’m guessing not too often that he walks up here in the in the bush so the last one here yeah here just go straight this way oh here we go I like how they put Whitey all the way at the edge here do they want Whitey out of sight I don’t know do I appreciate being on the edge here yes Rock 01 that would be me I’m just going to film this in uh one go so we get uh I’m guessing it’s here this must be oh that’s R1 twin okay that’s something else I’m downstairs hold on why do you always do this let me put you guys here all right now we can start again so when I um W check this out got proper logs so when I booked this place it was the fireplace that kind of sealed the deal for me and I think this um you know judging from from the state of it this one actually works as well we’re going to fire this one up at night and uh we’re going to throw some potatoes on there roasted fireplace potatoes it is ancient books wow what a place let’s close this one so it cools down hold on is my hat on straight yes first things first I kind of thought this was the shower but no it’s just a uh a bathroom I should have had that on for my room tour I must say one of the absolute best hotels well it’s a villa I have a seen in Vietnam just in case you thought that was something else oh so there’s the Morning View from the I could see now why these are made for the rice field and not walking through doors so sitting in the bed but let’s stay in character yeah nice uh this going to be a nice place to wake up to funky funky your now we’re talking imagine that steps up to the bathtub yeah this is pretty cool I really like the design of this uh of this bathroom with the steps up to your uh bathtub with kind of a view all right nobody looking so I can have my feet on the table oh nice got some speed now we’re going to the outdoor swimming pool just going to have to Soldier through no sleep yesterday and uh yeah that bus was an ice beare so going to sold it through spend all day here at the hotel and then tomorrow we’ll do some exploring so you have inside swimming pool also two swim swimming pool uh yes there swimming pool in that’s uh this not is from here about 1 km I see let’s do the outdoors one then all right how do I find the towel yeah should have I’ll just down here yes okay thank you everything okay yes broken broken is okay I don’t want to be like electrocuted sitting in here let’s go and get a drink first so I can have a drink in the pool so yeah hello can I order a drink order a drink yeah bar upstairs yeah hello is the bar open yes can I take a take a drink to the pool okay let’s see what you have then good old Jack Daniels and you have Yer Meister have aato I’ll just take a Jack Daniels then yes Dani yeah one H yeah with the with the ice please I’m thinking about what will make them go kind of like oh my God this guy and I think me wearing a hat when I’m swimming would be up there amongst those things so uh I’m going to wear this oh there’s the Jack thank you so much he’s okay swim with the hat it’s good for swimming okay this is probably one of the better ideas I’ve had in a while so that’s the mountain that I’m contemplating scaling but the growing corn and I mean it’s basically it’s a forest going up there so I mean it seems to me that that that that uh is probably impossible but I’ll have a little investigation after this glass and my swim and then we’ll see if I can find a path honestly I don’t understand why I was doubting the wisdom of swimming with this hat this is uh swimming with this hat it’s the greatest idea I have had since buying the skull neck was in barasi uh yeah man in fact I’m going to always swim with this hatch from now on schol my friends man this thing is deep they turn on the bubbles for me they say it’s going to heat up in roughly 1 hour so now it’s 4:00 5:00 it’s going to be hot not just here but they say this uh hot flow is going to Bubble over in um here so the entire pool is going to be hot thumbnail hunt Z nice look at this the light comes on at night anyway going to go for dinner it is I want to be the first one there it starts at 600 now it’s is 5:55 my plan mutro backfired um my shorts are wet I was going to Dy them in front of the fireplace I’m guess guessing that’s my car uh I couldn’t get the fireplace going so now I’m going here with a with a wet um yeah hello how are you thank you all right okay where you let to go now uh for dinner yeah M I didn’t film this earlier but what a what a Terrace 2 minutes until dinner officially starts so oh here we go dinner hello where do you want me to sit anywhere anywhere what about there yes okay sit here is that better with uh with a pool in the background yeah okay I think you’re right it’s a good spot yeah I’ll sit here then yeah oops a stir fried Northwestern horse I have a a question yeah what is a stir fried Northwest horse this like the this L you order real chicken yeah you order saled chicken but now we come to the but that’s a horse like a me yeah yeah yeah really yeah you eat that here of okay you want to try I want to try that yeah yeah oh actually no a grilled bua hor tenderloin what’s a Balan carine I think that’s a difficult for drink you can try this one or this one is difficult what’s difficult is a strong strongest smell bad smell not not really bad your favorite is a plum brandy yes plum brandy or insane I think you you try this one plum brandy I listen to you so I will take a little bit same for you try so can I try a little bit of that one too yes I take a a little bit of all three okay and then I will choose one yeah okay thank you send you a fry okay thank you so much you try I will try them all huh your favorite it’s a plum it’s a plum first one okay so let’s let’s start with your favorite yeah which is this one this one this one just a BL okay it looks beautiful like this okay do you shoot it like everything I have it’s sure oh man you you’re right that is strong yeah yeah yeah wow you were not joking I thought you going to give me like some after three this one you are drunk so look at anticipation I never I never tried you you never tried it yeah I tried already but I never tried it just they’re all gongo so any another drink another drink wow so have three gongo like I can’t believe this restaurant actually serves um all of these are um are gongo is basically the same that I had on that boat out in um out in in a floating village it’s very potent it’s very strong so she’s not joking um when she said that after I’ve had um these three I’m going to be filling it so all right thank you here we go they actually do serve horse meat here fresh from the frying pan it’s good my plan was to kind of go and sit here but you know people now are just coming out for dinners and stuff so I don’t think they want to see uh gongo kasipu daru uh full Northman running around here I’m now going to withdraw to my quarters and uh man that gongo really got me it got me good so I think we should just go back to my heart is so beautiful but at the same time I’m so wasted uh I can’t believe that from just those three small cups my Hut is all the way over there so um yeah we’re going to go um hold is a full moon today possibly anyway we’re going to keep this Gabriel High Roller traveler mode so you guys don’t see how wasted I am and then uh we’re going to walk up here and actually why not I don’t care and then we’re going to withdraw to my quarters we are going to fire up the uh man can’t even speak English that’s how wasted I am he’s got few [Music] kind of sobering up on this walk not really what’s happening is that you know when you feel wasted and then suddenly you you’re like you know hold on I’m all right uh it’s just your body kind of normalized the feeling of you being wasted so when you no longer feel wasted that’s how you know you’re actually more wasted than before here’s the thing you can obviously walk through this you know what I might give this a go in the morning we can at least make that hill and up there we can see if we can continue let’s go crash then actually let’s fire up the the fireplace beautiful but that uh makes my uh Hill Adventure completely out of the question it’s going to be too wet and difficult to go up there slippery actually this one looks promising oh man it’s wet look at this it’s wet that’s where it’s going going let’s put our main let’s put our main log right here got it yeah hoto I just want a huge ass fire going in here kind of still raging strong should we throw a potato on there just for good measure or beetroot or whatever this is let’s see what happens I mean it’s right there with the other fire hazards so why would it be there if it doesn’t burn you see it does burn I was right all right let’s throw some more on there [Music] [Music]

■ SA PA, VIETNAM: When I toured Northern Vietnam on a motorbike 5 years ago, upon hitting the town Lao Cai, I rode east. The area west of said city was thus unexplored and unchartered territory to me. My absolute favorite aspect of this far North of the country is the green mountains and tiered rice fields. The region known as Sa Pa epitomizes such terrain.

I knew I had to go. But how to get there? My choice of transportation fell on a spacious sleeper bus where you get your own compartment to chill in.

They were supposed to pick me up at my hotel at 7:00. I was waiting for them since 6:45. At 8:00 There was no sign of the bus. The hotel called them for me and it turns out they had forgotten to swing by my hotel me.

They sent a motorbike to fetch me so we could drive and catch up with the bus. It was the start of an uncomfortable journey. Luckily in Sa Pa a $300 luxury cabin at a 5 start hotel awaited me. I therefore journey straight to the hotel to recover and revel in luxury before my mountain adventure began the following day.
