A short travel vlog by Nate and Kara Buchanan documenting a road trip in northern Cyprus to the Karpas (Carpath) peninsula. They drive to secluded beaches, encounter and feed wild donkeys with a bag of carrots, explore the northeastern tip of Cyprus, and spend a relaxing afternoon and sunset on an empty beach. The tone is informal and experiential.
Sa.
We are so sad to be leaving the Acapulco resort and private beach and Buffett. But the good news is we're driving to a new beach today.
We have, like, a three hour road trip. Go north. Cyprus has suggested that we drive out to the Carpaths national park, which is supposed to have beautiful secluded beaches. And we're supposed to meet some interesting visitors along the way.
It's gonna be a unique road trip. Bye. Bye, beautiful resort.
We were told that these were mandatory for our road trip. What if they don't let us pass unless we give it to them? That's. Yep. I say we need more.
More. We've got our two kilos of carrots, and it's time to hit the.
This drive is like the great ocean road all to yourself.
We've left the main roads. Things have gotten a little bumpier. It feels like we're out in the middle of nowhere right now.
It's like, stop. Don't go any further.
Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy.
This is where our 2kgs of carrots are gonna go.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you hungry? That was awesome.
That was great. I was getting scared that they weren't gonna show up. We still have a lot of leftover carrots. I hope there's more. So before we left today, we were warned that there would be wild donkeys and that they're cunning enough to stand in the middle of the road and not move until you.
Hello, donkey. There you go.
They're smart enough for one to go on one side and one to go.
Come and get it.
Come and get it.
All right, get your head out of the car.
Time to go.
Time to go.
Bye.
He's literally keeping his ass.
They're coming for us.
They surrounded us.
I'm scared.
This one's literally. Look, it's running with the car.
All right. You worked hard, boy. You could have it. No, no. You are aggressive.
Gwent. Gwent. Okay, go. Take it and go. Get out.
Go. We're getting out of here, that's for sure. The roads have turned into complete dirt. We've already passed our hotel, but Nate is determined to get to these flags over here. Right there.
We have officially made it to the most northeastern part of Cyprus.
And it's beautiful. Seriously. There's just no way to appreciate in the camera how clear and blue this water is.
It's really windy up here. These flags are going nuts. We assume this means we're at the end of Cyprus.
We are heading back down this dirt road back to our hotel through the herds of donkeys. Hopefully we don't run out of carrots. And hopefully our hotel has a good restaurant because there is nothing out here. We're literally at the edge of the country.
It's 2pm and we haven't had lunch yet.
Just taco flavored Doritos.
Which are amazing. Here's the beautiful coastline.
There's our bungalows. There. There somewhere.
Home.
Stay home for the night.
Plain and simple. Can't complain about the view.
We opted to skip lunch and snack on our apples and almonds that we with us so we could optimize our beach time. Because this beach is huge and empty and gorgeous. The sand is really soft and I'm so excited.
Me too. But she has enough excitement for the both of us. So I don't even have to say anything.
We literally have this entire beach to ourselves.
Just.
We had a nice relaxing afternoon on the beach. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. And now we're heading to Den.
J.
Oh, he. He has it in the door handle. That's a pretty good strategy, buddy. Hi. Hello. Oh, you're a big one. Quickly, come here.
Come give carrot.
Here.
Put it in your mouth and feed it out of your mouth.
Give me carrot.
Feed it out of your mouth. Now you're just gonna bite. Are you gonna feed it out of your mouth? No. Yeah.
Okay.
I'll feed it out of mine. Okay.
How the heck am I supposed to do that?
I can't believe this is happening.
He's coming back for more.
I don't have any.
Give cara kisses.
No. Give cara kisses.
No. He just.
Will you drive away?
He just wants a kiss on the lips. I can't drive away while his head's in there.
Move.
He wants a kiss.
Go.
He's gonna bite.
Give me a kid.
Give me kids.
All right.
We're gonna hurt you.
You're so mean.
