good morning it is a good morning we're
doing something really cool today we're
hired well we only just arrived to
Croatia last night it's now 7:00 a.m.
and we're hiring a car today and driving
to the coast of Croatia to Zidane to
surprise my family they've got no idea
that we're coming down you keep it a
secret keeping it a secret so yeah
that's why we're so excited one other
cool things about today is that a
company called ez rent cars found out
about a little trip and reached out to
sponsor today's video and to give us a
rental car that we could use but we see
that we want to go through the whole
process of using their website ourselves
and to make sure that the service that
they offer is actually as good as they
say it is because they've got some
massive selling points for a car rental
aggregator so they pull prices from
everywhere from like Avis Europe car
Hertz budget sex all of these big
companies so you could only use one
search engine basically that's that's
what they do and opposed through all of
these sites they have free cancellations
and all these other massive benefits so
through their site we have secured a
really good deal with a local car rental
company here we're just about to take
our bag and we're gonna head over and
pick up the car see how everything goes
and then we can talk more about where we
going and what our experience has been
with this easier in cars
Oh Sonic that was really easy actually
I'm really impressed these guys are
really onto it we've got such a nice car
as well to be dub pass our pass out I
don't know how you say it properly it's
an automatic it's only one year old one
of the things that was really that
surprised me
easy rent cars have a price monitoring
thing so we booked the car and buy price
monetary I mean like they guarantee the
best price and I couldn't find a better
price on these guys a website direct and
then they also Auto monitor the price so
within two days or three days of booking
this initially I got an email that was
like we found you a better price and
with rebooked for you and saved us 13
dollars over the two day rental and
everything that went through today was
exactly in line with the lower price
which was even better I'm excited this
is gonna be a cool trip I love getting
out on the roads and also it's gonna be
cool to see your fam so we've been
driving for about 30 minutes now we just
read through this
and we've got a we only got to check it
we thought we might have to pay there
was a big long thing they had a hundred
different like surprises and all sorts
so from our investigations we think that
we're probably going to have to pay at
the other end somehow kind of like when
you go into a parking lot
you take your ticket menu navigation
lady keeps cutting me off like two
others about three times over 50 so yeah
we're what I take it we're on the road
and I think that the next stops will be
going to be coffee and some breakfast
[Music]
man Croatia is beautiful loving this
driving at the moment it's it's like
we're driving through mountains is all
these like rolling hills and everything
we're going through loads of tunnels and
it's reminding us a lot of New Zealand
actually it's very like very similar
very familiar feel for us I should just
mention as well if you want to sign up
to EZ rent cars they've given us a whole
bunch of coupons that can save you
twenty thirty fifty dollars or something
like that based on how much you spend
and there's also a referral link that
we've got that if you sign up with that
I think you get a thirty dollar credit
straightaway so make sure you check the
link description before you go ahead and
do anything we've just arrived now to
get some food and some coffee and a
quick toilet stop along with all the
tour buses and everybody else as well
these stops are always pretty busy so it
looks like it's a bit stro apparently
and a gas station but hopefully there's
some nice quick easy food some cheap
coffee and we can be on the road again
got a ham sandwich two coffees and two
chocolate croissants for seventy three
Kuna it was really like mountains and
quite dry versus food right now now it's
like Rocky can you stream
okay thanks ma'am and now there's all
these amazing lakes and everything that
man is so stunning
finally being directed off the road off
the highway it's been pretty straight
the whole way really nice clean roads
actually really easy to drive on it's
130 kilometres per hour which for us is
a fast speed to be going on the motorway
so we're like racecars to us anyway very
safe very safe for 130 just feels for us
fast it's not an Autobahn or anything
but we're just yes so now we're waiting
at the toll to find out how much it cost
us to drive there two or three hundred
kilometer worth of Road
[Music]
now this feels like Croatia walking
along a bit of a surpasses your only
bridge just a walking bridge we've got
the like a small port over that side in
fact all the way around us sun's out
everybody's in like a there's a feeling
I love being by the ocean I just
instantly well sorry I shouldn't see
everybody keeps correcting our English I
love being by the water there's some
really nice little back-alley there we
were on a mission here we just walked
past our like family and friends who are
sitting at the main square which we need
to walk through to get to the restaurant
if they're facing in our direction so
now we try all we can go this way so now
we're walking these little back-alley
lanes they're really cute little small
streets actually around reminds me a lot
of Antibes in France so now we're just
walking these back Ellie's gonna go in
and out avoid the square and back up to
the restaurant so that we can get there
first so we've arrived we may know way
street a bit Street
Dan's gonna hide behind or just in this
direction here I'm gonna still give me a
signal linger behind behind this so we
can see that when they come in they're
on their way now so hopefully almost a
plan
[Music]
this is just ridiculous we've just been
walking down off the Main Street down
this way but a church on the side Church
on that side and then all over here all
through the gardens here all around this
whole area
it's just ruins it's absolutely insane
and they're not restricted or anything
you can just walk right out right out in
the middle of this whole area all the
way down there down by the ocean or on
this side right the way up to the church
it's just insane lower them some of them
like this one over here I've got
carvings in everything and all there we
go that looks like they're like a lion
or something on the front of it so I've
just explained about all the ruins we
just walked past but what about the
surprise surprise really cute we both
pretty Dane and I predicted what mum and
dad's reactions would be like nothing
nothing like what we thought firstly
it's a boys really surprised and so
happy that we made the effort to come
down so it all sort of it's all worth it
and now we're just we're just walking
with them back to the boat we're gonna
check that out of their cruise ship and
we also want to check out
the see organs yeah hopefully we're
probably hear them before we see them as
well the waters pretty choppy at the
moment because we keep hearing we keep
seeing like hearing thunder and seeing
lightning out here actually there look
at that that's definitely not looking to
flash right now but it's a really nice
boardwalk along here not too busy at all
like walking through the main town there
of course you expected it's a little bit
busier but hitting this way it seems
quite nice quite chilly around Zadar
this is the cruise boat they're on Wow
it's very nice you've just been
listening now probably come here on
camera but these holes along here on the
ground here
they're called the sea organs which are
actually quite loud now and when the
tide comes up like it is now there's
like a sound of an organ along here it
sounds like a little little Orchestra
hmm we just back it up right now
take it all right what a great surprise
it was so much fun that's what I said
saying goodbye but it was well worth the
dry three months until we see them again
23 months till we see them again which
is cool we only get home for Christmas
this year we've had just such an epic
day the car has been amazing the full
service that we've had with the website
with these current cars has been awesome
the global as well I don't know if I'm
engineering the world why doesn't matter
we're out in the world they're pretty
much operate two hundred and something
countries either as well so just
epicness yeah I love a good I love a
good road trip into it like a three or
four-hour drive was just a perfect
amount of time got the chance to seize
it now we're actually staying the night
here so we've just pulled in we were out
to go and it's a wrap mum stop crying
thank you so much watching and we'll get
you in coming
