a week in the dolomites

0 segundo [Music]
20 segundos We have finally arrived in the Doommites after a very, very long day of travel. We woke up in Sicily around 4:00 a.m.
28 segundos this morning. um dropped our rental car to the airport. Caught a flight to Venice, picked up a rental car in Venice, then drove up to Cortina where
36 segundos we're staying for the next 4 or 5 days, and we have finally arrived. It is now around 7:30, 8:00 p.m., but we have
46 segundos arrived in the most beautiful place I think I've ever seen. I've dreamed of coming to this place for the longest time. I feel like I'm going through a
53 segundos bit of a mountain core moment and I just want to be in nature, especially after spending the last two weeks cooking in
1 minuto the sun at the beach. I'm really excited for some fresh air and it is in the most beautiful place ever. So, Cortina is
1 minuto e 7 segundos kind of in a valley and you're surrounded by mountains pretty much everywhere you look that are extremely extremely high and magnificent is probably the best word I can say.
1 minuto e 18 segundos Staying at a really really sweet little com. It is typical like mountain accommodation. It's like a little cabin. Nothing fancy, but it does the trick.
1 minuto e 26 segundos But you have to see this view. And I'm sure there's going to be a million more amazing views. But it is so nice to arrive to something like this. Let me
1 minuto e 34 segundos show you. So, you're pretty much in a valley with mountains on every side.
1 minuto e 39 segundos Kind of. As I said, it is a bit cloudy and it is getting dark, but you can see on the horizon how there is pretty much a peak over there. There's another peak
1 minuto e 48 segundos over there peeping out. And you can't really see, I don't think, on the camera over, but there is literally peaks everywhere you look. And it is so
1 minuto e 56 segundos incredibly green and just calm and quiet.
2 minutos It is the best. And I can't wait to spend the week in the mountains. We have a hike at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow. We are going to hike, I believe you say,
2 minutos e 9 segundos Tresemme or Tric. Um, it is going to be really, really busy. So, we decided that we would wake up at 4:00 a.m. again um
2 minutos e 17 segundos to try to beat the crowds. But, I'm hoping, fingers crossed, we get good weather cuz I am really tired and I
2 minutos e 24 segundos really want sleep. But, you know, got to do what you got to do. Want to get some sleep now. It is around 8:30 p.m. and it is still light. Surprise, surprise. Euro summer.
2 minutos e 34 segundos [Music]
2 minutos e 38 segundos A very early 3:00 a.m. start. And we have finally made it to Kadina Deisarina, which is the most insane view um I've ever seen in my life.
2 minutos e 50 segundos At sunrise, we walked along that ridge, which I'm not going to lie, I was myself. EB is a lot more brave
2 minutos e 57 segundos than me in all honesty, but um these dudes are running it, so they're crazy.
3 minutos e 3 segundos Honestly, I have no words for this view.
3 minutos e 6 segundos It is insane. And it's really not that busy. We thought it was going to be packed. Um, we weren't even meant to get sun this morning. It was meant to be cloudy and we got here and it was the
3 minutos e 15 segundos most perfect sunrise. I'm super puffed out. I think it's the altitude. Um, and probably a bit of myself, but just wow.
3 minutos e 26 segundos [Music]
3 minutos e 58 segundos [Music]
4 minutos e 6 segundos How good's the Italian names? on the coke.
4 minutos e 10 segundos Have to say it in an Italian. I don't know. Yeah, it only counts if you say it. Francesco Pio. That's two. That's two names.
4 minutos e 18 segundos Cloud is looking nasty.
4 minutos e 23 segundos I do not want to do that. That's what we want. We do not want that.
4 minutos e 37 segundos We are on the way to pick up some dinner after an insane day. We hiked Lego de Sarapus today, which is a pretty big
4 minutos e 47 segundos hike. It was probably the biggest hike I've ever done, albeit like 4 and 1/2 hours. I'm not a hiker. But the most
4 minutos e 56 segundos jaw-dropping thing, I think it's me and Es's potentially favorite place we've ever been. There's a few that are up there, but that was one of the most
5 minutos e 4 segundos amazing views either of us have probably ever seen and pretty sketchy. There was some really spicy little parts to that hike.
5 minutos e 14 segundos Um, I have found on this trip that I'm not a huge fan of heights. I can do it, but I don't love heights. But best day
5 minutos e 22 segundos ever. And we're just going to go pick up some food now for dinner. We had um Noki on the mountain, which was so sick. It's
5 minutos e 30 segundos honestly the best pasta we've had while I've been in Italy. And it was literally on a hut. You have to hike like 3 hours
5 minutos e 37 segundos from the mainland to get to, which we were both so confused about. We're like, how are they making how are they even getting pasta up here, let alone making
5 minutos e 44 segundos such good food, but alas, it was really nice to have a great Noki. And yeah, now we're just going to pick up some ingredients and have a nice easy night.
5 minutos e 55 segundos The weather is packing in if you can see it. So, it's nice to have everything done for the day so we can relax and
6 minutos e 2 segundos have a nice easy night. 2026 where we're staying is where they're having the Winter Olympics, which is really cool. But apparently, no
6 minutos e 10 segundos one's really going to be able to come here because the athletes and, you know, the officials and the police are going to take up pretty much this entire town,
6 minutos e 18 segundos which is kind of lame cuz I think it'll be a sick place to have it.
6 minutos e 23 segundos But yeah, it'd be cool to see it on TV when we've been here.
6 minutos e 29 segundos [Music]
6 minutos e 42 segundos So pretty.
6 minutos e 51 segundos Can't really Fire
6 minutos e 56 segundos [Music]
7 minutos e 11 segundos to get to that through and up all that.
7 minutos e 23 segundos This is it. Yeah. Snack of the century, baby.
7 minutos e 28 segundos [Music]
7 minutos e 40 segundos Oh.
7 minutos e 43 segundos [Music]
7 minutos e 51 segundos [Music]
7 minutos e 53 segundos I have been really quiet in this vlog.
7 minutos e 55 segundos We've been in the Doommites for going on 7 days now um between Cortina and now or for some reason I just haven't picked up
8 minutos e 3 segundos the camera much. I've taken a whole bunch of footage of the most beautiful scenery, hikes, everything. But I just haven't thought to pick up the camera
8 minutos e 10 segundos and speak. So I thought I'd come on and catch you guys up to where we are today.
8 minutos e 15 segundos We hiked Sichada, which I have a bunch of clips of, but again, no speaking. So, that'll come before this. And then
8 minutos e 21 segundos tonight, we are going to Alp Duzi. I'm not sure exactly how you say that.
8 minutos e 28 segundos It's been it's been all right. It's been a bit cloudy. Um, we wanted crisp sun as you do, but I think being the mountains,
8 minutos e 35 segundos the weather's a bit, you know, here and there. But, it's been amazing. It's been way beyond my expectations to be really honest. It's really nice to kind of
8 minutos e 43 segundos switch up your holiday. come from the beach and then have this and it just reminds me how much I really love being in nature and that's probably why I
8 minutos e 51 segundos haven't picked up the camera much and spoken. I think there's just something about being kind of disconnected in a way. Me and Es were hiking yesterday and we popped in our headphones for a bit
8 minutos e 59 segundos and we were like no this feels wrong. Um we want to be in nature and I think that's what this has really been. It's been really nice to slow down. Although
9 minutos e 7 segundos we've been moving a lot, but slow down in terms of, you know, be on my phone less and kind of just take in nature. I
9 minutos e 15 segundos think my mental state is like a 10 out of 10 right now. Like I'm so zen. It is way colder than I expected here. We kind of brought We didn't even bring jumpers.
9 minutos e 23 segundos We actually had one jumper each just for the plane and then like some really thin jackets which did absolutely nothing. It
9 minutos e 30 segundos was like 4°. It was between 0 and 4 the other day. Anyway, off to IA tomorrow.
