Discovering Ninh Binh - Trang An and Hang Mua Cave: Ep24
I went on another boat but about the same time you guys did. We had more luck with the food but I agree that it were lacking and were plain.. I guess they aim to please the tourists so that they can eat everything.. but we had better tasting food on the streets of Hanoi. Our room however were great and the view is to die for. Some areas had much plastics but other areas were fine. As I've seen many videos I think it's almost the same thing on all the boats and they could step the food up overall. The buffé were good though -but I would have liked a station where you could fix dipping sauce. Overall however.. I think the trip were worth the ~300$ and I'm glad that we made it. Also fun that we talked alot with the crew and spent time with them on their downtime and ate some snacks and drinks. The service on our boat were on point and it makes my heart warm to see how the whole crew wave as you arrive and leaves.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience, very interesting etesting to hear. I agree with the food, we had much better around Vietnam overall, we thought it was quite poor on the boat for the amount of money you pay. The staff we really lovely though and we can't really fault them too much, they tried their best and that really shone through.
â€đâ€đâ€
â€excellent 1st video both .hope you had a fantastic time in beautiful kalamaki ..and what a lovely freind you both got in claude
Thank you Mark, glad you enjoyed it
I enjoyed the video,
Thank you Glenn
It was puzzles
Yeah, a few people have confirmed that now, thank you though đđ
@continentalcoxons really enjoy your videos love this place
@andrewdavies8994 thank you, its ice to hear you like them as much â€ïžđŹđ·
My stepdad. Mum. And Auntie am in that hotel know there been there since last week... Hotel Macedonia
It's a decent place to stay
Good job guys đThanks for sharing and take care đ
Thank you
Hi guys, love your videos. I went September 2023 and the Remedy cocktail bar had just opened, little bit expensive than the others but okay. Went for a meal in the Greek stories taverna very nice and reasonable. Sad to hear look up bar has closed, enjoy your vacation guys.
Thank you Nigel
Jacqui is right, it was called Puzzle. Loved that place great food, I wonder is it the same owners.
Yeah someone said before. We had a lovely meal there a few years ago. Shame its not there anymore.
hi there will you be tsilivi at any point ? Thanks
Hello, unfortunately not. We are back home now and busy putting all the videos together. We didn't get time to get there but we have stayed there before in 2015.
@continentalcoxons no problem thanks for letting me know , did you enjoy tsilivi when you last visited ? thanks
@stuarthatton1973 yeah enjoyed it. We went back for a night in 2018 but didn't seem to enjoy it as much. Actually felt really really busy. Maybe just the night we were there maybe.
thankyou
@stuarthatton1973 no problem. Its a good family resort though.
A huge thank you to you all for sticking by us during a difficult time for us. Hopefully we can return the love in this forthcoming Zakynthos series.

Perfect timing to see these, we go back in 2 weeks staying in our fave Cronulla
Have a lovely time
Nice , reminds me on trip to Faliraki
It's not as rowdy as Faliraki one was definitely a lot more laid back here.
I just got back from kalamaki today I recommend that u go to D and B barbecue restaurant itâs where the mini golf is aswell if u do go there can u do a vid please
Yes we went there during our visit. We are back home now. We actually went 2 years ago too and did a little video there
Oh nice
Great vlog Not sure Iâd be struck on Kalamaki Doesnât look very traditional, reminds me of Sidari in Corfu with bars called the Rose and Crown and the Indian/Chinese etc. Looking forwards to comparing Alykanas to Corfu in a couple of weeks
Thanks Gavlos. It's not as busy as Sidari from what I remember of the place. I find Kalamaki Just about the right level, not too rowdy.
Ah, that was a brilliant episode yous two! We loved the Puzzle Restaurant,!.. been there every year since 2012! The lady who ran it was just lovely to us. The Look-up Bar where we met up for a few Beers in 2022, just our Favourite Bar on the Island..Bar None! is now no more?! Such a shame as Tasos Tranakas the owner put So much into it, it deserved a Lot more custom than it got,. Probably due to the out of sight location above a Very Busy Restaurant. Had some great times in the Look-Up, and will never be forgotten, .. actually brought a tear to my eye! Great Drone Video by the way, you're really getting the hang of this now! Great stuff Jamie & Jaqui! Cheers, til next time.
Yeah we were gutted about Look Up bar, we were looking forward to going in again and trying some of the lovely beers. We were going to feature the place in one of our videos too đȘ Thanks for the lovely comments Percy, glad you enjoyed it.
@@continentalcoxons I'm thinking of doing a Vlog of our trip to Corfu next week, Your videos have given me a Lot of inspiration and ideas, although I hate my speaking Voice so I might adopt your North East Accent!
@exmoorbaydrones đ€Łđ€Ł that might need worth the watch alone đ€Ł
Nectar restaurant was definitely Puzzle who were very good friends of ours thanks for the video looking forward to the next episode
Thank you Kenneth. Yeah someone mentioned it before in the comments I think it was.
Fab vlog, never realy fancied Zante but it looks quite appealing from this vid - cheers J&J
It's a lovely island Fi
My favourite type of vlogs these, we just finished binge watching another vlogger here(Paul n chelle) and your mate from the melon bar stole the show, what a lovely man.we are in 2 minds between kalamki and tsivili for our first visit this summer. â€
Whose videos would you say are more watchable out of interest? Not heard of Paul n Chelle.
You can be honest too
Haha honestly and dont be offended... Deffo yoursđ, in fact they only came up as a suggestion after watching your travel day to kalamki... I actually think there from up your wayđ
@boothylad5151 ha ha, so bias đ€Łđ€Ł We don't really watch stuff from Zante and that to be honest, usually stuff further afield
I saw Pete n Chelle went to Melon bar too Jamie, your vids are fab though, more informative and is broken down into sections, more informative I'd say. I've watched Pete n Chelle's vids, quite enjoyable and a good look around still.
Another great video! Remedy is definitely a new bar! I think itâs first year was last year as I remember seeing it and we go to Kalamaki every year.. We love the bakery too! Surprised you never mentioned Greek Stories restaurant that only opened last year. Absolutely amazing meal we had there and the owner and staff were really welcoming!
Yeah some one just said a bit earlier it only opened last year.
Check out garden village hotel for next time
Depends how expensive it is đ€Ł
We have stayed at the Lourus 4 times lovely hotel.x
Yeah heard its meant to be nice
Hi Jamie and wife forgot your wifeâs name ? Well yet another great video well presented and documented, itâs like being there when you both show us around kalamaki.We go every year and yes there are some more different places opening up. Some of the bars and restaurants arenât there long before being taken over by someone else must be difficult to earn a living in the current climate. Those sun beds have rocketed up in price 20 euros is expensive and it seems there arenât many takers now also the hotels have had there tourist tax doubled at the Macedonian it was 21 euros last year now we have been told itâs 42 euros this year . Well once again thank you for a well documented and presented video we look forward to the next one.đđđđ
Thanks Pullman, my wife is Jacqui đ Thank you for the lovely comments on the video, nice to hear people appreciate the effort that goes un to them. Kalamaki has changed a lot since I was first there in 2008, same layout but places have changed. And yes, the sunbeds are ridiculous now. Not sure of its just there at the old Beach Taverna or if other parts of the beach charge the same.
Lovely to see how its changed. We visited Kalamaki many years ago when we first met. Think it was about 1995/6. We stayed in cavo d'oro and it looked very different. We are thinking of returning to Zante next year. Just so many places to holiday it's hard to choose but videos like this really help.
Thank you Helen, hope it helps make a decision for you.
Hi Jamie, another quality video, just for the record, remedybar opened last year. We are back this month(June) canât wait.
Thanks for the info Davey. Yeah I though it was new as couldn't recall it. Glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting vlog well done on showing us current prices all useful information đ20e for sunbeds they are having a laugh yamasđ»
Thank you John, yeah the sunbeds are extortionate. We usually just take a towel if we go to the beach anyway but yeah, âŹ20 is pretty steep.
Fantastic... cant wait for our holidays now .. Thanks for all your imput .. we note what we think we will enjoy and visit thanks to you lovely pair.. it helps alot ... keep up the good work â€đ
Thank you Macca
Hi guys just watching it in tsilivi
Hope you enjoy it
Hi Jamie & Jacqui, another great informative video for our favourite resort, Thank you!! FYI, Remedy Bar which is now run by our friend Skopy who used to be in Drunk Corner, was formally Fergus Sings the Blues I think youâre right about Nectar cafe bar, Iâm sure it was Puzzle Restaurant Yes the full English at the Airport Cafe is definately very good, & the walk back afterwards burns off the calories đđŒ We can also recommend Sizzle & Grill next to Buon Amici which is also great, hope you get to the Cave Bar on your next trip, it really is beautiful, & finally if ever book Sofias apartments youâll love it there, thatâs where we stay đ Look forward to your next video guys, look after yourselves Andy & Ally Swansea
Thank you Andy. Yeah,thought Remedy was Fergus Songs The Blues. Had read a few recent bad reviews about Sofias so opted against it, plus the price kept creeping up. The TUI released a new batch of holidays, which is how we ended up at Hotel Macedonia. No complaints about the place.
â@continentalcoxons in your video you said you thought sweet sins was new and used to be Fergus songs the blues. But sweet sins is in its 7th season
@Show360-gb7yx tha ks for letting me know. Couldn't remember seeing sweet sins last time and said we thought it might be where Fergus Si is The Blues was as I knew it was around that way on the street.
Good video, the hotel rooms are too basic for me. No doubt value for money. I prefer Cystal Beach or the Meandross. But a different price point.
Thanks Glenn. To be honest we hardly spend any of our time in the room anyway, so would be pointless for us to spend a lot of money on something we'd only be getting showered, changed and sleep. As long as its clean and facilities are half decent, that's all we need.
â€â€â€
