BOURDAIN'S FAVORITE HOT DOG IN PORTO (finally feeling better)

[@WILLNEVERCONFORM]

Porto(like other Portugal cities) will remain in your hearts forever. Portugal is a beautiful country steeped in mind blowing great history.

[@somboonhotrakool3195]

Hi! Welcome back for your daily’s life and travel again.

[@majorkade]

You will get the original custard tarts in Lisbon. Worth standing in line. The Portuguese took their recipe to Ayutthaya and Macau and other faraway places, which explains why they are enjoyed everywhere.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ahh, that does explain it. Someone else said the tarts were maybe a display of Portugal’s wealth, too, with all the sugar and dairy. Interesting how they ended up being, arguably, the biggest international culinary symbol of Portugal. Is there a certain spot for the tarts in Lisbon, that you would recommend? 😊

[@majorkade]

@@OnePackWanderers Pastel de Belém is where you go. It's where the custard tarts got their start... in 1837. Also, don't forget coffee and cod fritters in the historic coffee shop in the main square in Lisbon. It's one of the oldest cafes in the world.

[@GPosner8]

So happy to see that you’re both feeling better and able to get out and explore👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sno_mouse1235]

My grandmother who was from the Azores used to make pasteis de nata all the time, it's probably one of my favorite snacks.

[@DavidandSarah]

Glad to hear you guys are feeling a lot better! Haha, we love when you guys do "Tia for scale". The food looked amazing. Loving your new camera. Everything is so crispy!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Woo! Glad you see a difference with the camera! Tia for scale was a complete accident. We did it on the first vlog and for whatever reason it stuck 😅

Great that both of you have recovered. Do take care of your health.

[@steveandmissieyounghusband930]

Sorry you got sick and lost a few days but happy you feel better. Wish you a healthy time for the rest of the trip.

[@mickfarrar3516]

And caught up! Watched your 1st Korean vlog because I just wanted to see someone travel through Korea, and liked it so much I started at the beginning. It now seems strange when other KZbinrs don't do 'Tia for scale', but there can only be one Tia, so their loss. Not a biker myself, but really enjoyed the bike trips in Thailand and Vietnam. Also impressed at your positivity (or at least level headedness) when things go wrong. You seem to embrace the 'Don't worry about the small stuff' ethos. I hope you are able to keep doing this travelling for as long as it's fun for you guys

[@OnePackWanderers]

Going back and watching the other videos is a huge compliment. Really glad you enjoyed the bike trips, as those were our personal favorites as well.

[@barangabroad]

Cheers guys!

[@michaelh124]

I once stayed in the hostel / hotel - called The Passenger - which is located inside the train station . It's a really nice place, and down at the bar, they've got a nice selection of port wine for a good price. Cheers

[@OnePackWanderers]

The pictures of that place look stunning. What a cool hostel 🙂

[@johnk4051]

I just finished watching your Korea videos. I was in Myeondong 7/18 -24 and by looks of it we may have stayed around the same area. Looking forward to watching your Europe videos.

[@alvinphk]

So happy to see you back and able to enjoy touring around and filming video to share with all of us. The video and audio quality have really improved a great deal. 👍🌟🌹 The video are so sharp and clear. Wonder if you can do a short video, showing us and going through the equipment and gears that you are using currently, 🥰

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you so much for the compliment, that was the goal and it’s really nice to hear that it is seen 😊 We’ll definitely do a gear breakdown soon. A lot has changed in the last couple months.

[@alvinphk]

Definitely looking forward to your video on the gear breakdown.

Glad ur feeling better, I missed u guys but do take it easy! N ur really getting good with the camera!!

[@ed7872]

Seeing you back on the road again gives me great and warm feeling. Most likely a bit like you feel now. You guys are my inspiration to travel and I will be flying out to SE Asia in 14 days time. Copying some of the great examples you have given us all through your videos. Thank you for the fun, the inspiration, love and massive amount of information over the past year. From coffee, food accommodation and ways and means of travel all the way to the way you connect with each other and people you meet. Thank you for letting us get to know you, where you came from and your views of the countries you went to and through. May your travels continue for as long as you can endure and I truly hope you discover many more beautiful and inspiring places and share them with all of us. 😍😍😍💞🌭🥧🍵🍵🍾🍷🍷🍺🍺🍺🍺☕☕🫖

[@OnePackWanderers]

This, no kidding, made our whole day. Thank you so much for writing this out 😊 AND CONGRATS ON THE TRIP! Which country are you off to first? 14 days! It’s right around the corner 🥳

[@ed7872]

@@OnePackWanderers Thanks! I am so looking forward to my trip. Unfortunatly not every country in Asia is open yet. I planned a visit to both Taiwan and Japan to be included in this trip, but those countries still don't offer freedom of individual travel or even access to tourists. So I will be flying in to Thailand as tickets between Europe and Asia are typically cheapest. From there i'll be roaming through SE Asia. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines. Depending on the Covid situation, weather and what feels best. All in about 2 months. Nowhere near the OPW scale for time (not to be confused with the "Tia scale for height"). But anyway: In terms of spending time on the road:Yep, jealous of you guys, as ever. But before I leave for SE Asia I will be visiting the Western part of Germany. Which is not a major feat as it is a neighbouring country of where I live. Just get my car out and scoot over the border. It takes me less than 2 hours. Oh, the fun of living in a small country. I truly enjoyed your views of Porto. I visited Portugal before the pandemic. It is wonderful. I trust we'll be seeing a lot more of you. You have built up such a huge and loyal fanbase, we won't let you disappoint us now. But that will be hard. The quality of your work is such that we expect you to keep it at least at this level. The new mics and cam are a definite improvement. Have fun, keep safe and above anything else: stay healthy. You're the best! 😎😎😎😷😹👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😻 And thanks for the personal message. My message landed exactly as intended.

[@juancarlo6625]

The best part of that train station is that the old office right beside it, behind the clock, was converted into a hostel. It won an award and it was one of the coolest one I’ve ever been in.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Wow. Looked up pictures of this hostel. It is beautiful! I can see why they command such a premium 😅

[@juancarlo6625]

@@OnePackWanderers yeah! It was a great experience and considering the location, it was quite a stay.

[@CrissyUnfiltered]

My FAVORITE restaurant!! I love those! We went back 3 times. I don’t even usually eat “hot dog” but this was completely different! That with a cold beer 😊 Glad you both are feeling a better ❤️

[@OnePackWanderers]

Right?! We're in the same boat typically in regards to hotdogs.

[@majorkade]

Since you ate a hot dog, go by Curb for one of their delicious burgers. It was started by young Portuguese guys who got inspired while in the US.

[@hans-ulrichfischer963]

nice... told you prior to come to Portugal, that you ll like food with prizes adequate to your budget🌻😎

[@Anberel]

Sorry you were under the weather. You can hear it in your voices. Hopefully the good food helps.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

So glad you're feeling a bit better! And that you tried Pastel de Nata. Yummmm 😋 If you try port again, get a Tawny - they're better (generally) than the Ruby ones. We added that hot dog thing to our list for the next time we swing through Porto. Now I'm hungry! 😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Good to know, and thanks you two for the suggestion! Had no idea white Port was a thing, and we'll definitely need to try it now.

[@chowtc2385]

Your new camera is really a good buy and now your video is super sharp and able to zoom very very far.

[@OnePackWanderers]

So glad you notice a difference! We are still learning, but already really happy with the purchase 😊

Hey, go do a Camino. I bet you’ll love it. Cheap entertainment. The French Route goes through a lot of wine country. I’ve done 6 of them, over the years. I suggest the French Route as a first Camino. September is a great month to start.

We are definitely going to do the Camino at some point, it seems like something right up our alley 😊

@@OnePackWanderers I think you’ll love it! Plus it’s relatively inexpensive. Safe travels!

Glad you’re feeling better guys! We loved Porto so much! Honestly thinking of returning (maybe more permanently?) especially when we see the gorgeous places like this 💕 SIDE NOTE:Gosh Tia how on earth do you keep your hair so nice? I have similar (but less curly) hair and no matter where we are in the world, or how I’ve manage to tame it in the morning, it always ends up with frizzy part-straight wave-curls… 🙈 Any advice? You seem to have it locked down! 👍👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey! Sorry I'm so late replying to this. I always think my hair is really messy looking 😅 What I've been doing lately is showering in the mornings only, washing it twice a week, and putting coconut oil in it when its wet.

[@WILLNEVERCONFORM]

I hope you get to order Portuguese Atlantic ocean BBQ Sardines.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Definitely will try them before we leave Portugal. Do you have a favorite spot in Lisbon for them, that is relatively friendly to the budget? 🙂

[@WILLNEVERCONFORM]

@@OnePackWanderers only at Figueira da Foz sorry, but seriously, can't get a bad coffee, pastel de Nata or Sardines in Portugal. Fair price is 7-8€ big plate with a salad, boiled potatoes, olives, bread. Dowse them in olive oil too, yum. Note:- Never order sardines on Mondays (but majority won't sell on Mondays) fishermen don't catch on Sundays.

[@davesivirn2283]

Glad your feeling better but you do both sound a bit stuffed up, and breathing a bit hard. Go slow you may feel better than at your worst but takes a while to get back to 100%. Also whoo hoo love the panning transition from walking to seated at the outside table. Getting pretty fancy LOL.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Even though we are testing negative, it seems to be sticking around in our sinuses quite a bit 😂 We got lucky with that panning transition. For whatever reason, it worked much better than when we have tried it in the past 🤣

[@katem5843]

very cute video, would love to visit portugal. curious to know why you were laughing about the cappuccino? is it the size compared to an american coffee? (australian and we also have small coffees..).

[@OnePackWanderers]

[@darrylk808]

Always forget to click the comment button to post... Porto is a nice city, but not my favorite...just wait till you see the others! :) Not a fan of the custard tarts, think they are way too sweet. I think Portugal wanted to show off their wealth and since sugar was a pricey item back in the day they put a lot of sugar into it. :)

[@OnePackWanderers]

That's a really interesting observation about the display of wealth! It is so interesting how these things happen throughout history. Absolutely loving Portugal so far! It is extremely pricey this year, though. Even in comparison to some Spanish cities we have been looking at, Porto & Lisbon are 2-4x the cost. I suppose the world really missed visiting Portugal in particular, over the last 2 & 1/2 years! 😅

[@darrylk808]

@@OnePackWanderers I went years ago and again for a 2nd time in 2019. The first time Portugal wasn't that well known so it was cheap. I thought it needed better marketing because it was wonderful. Thought it was the most under rated countries in Europe. Then years later it seemed to have upped the marketing budget.😁 Nice smaller cities around Porto and Lisbon like Braga, Coimbra, Sinatra, Cascais . Don't miss the Algarve, but this time of year it may be crowded and pricey. That's where Europe vacations in the summer. I would come back to it in the shoulder season.

Was wondering where you were - glad you are better. Lost your taste? Sounds a bit like Covid. The BA5 variant has been getting everyone, even if you are vaccinated and boostered up to the gills. BA5 got me about two weeks ago in New Mexico.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Yea it was Covid. We thought we'd be in the clear since we're boosted and everything, but I guess it must've been the new variant. Hope you're feeling better now, for us it has had a couple minor lingering symptoms but nothing too bad.

[@jimkearns6697]

why you don't talk about cost

[@OnePackWanderers]

We did mention some of the prices, if I recall correctly. Here they are: Hotdogs, beers, and fries - $14 Pastel de Nata and capuccino - $4.90 Bottle of port wine - $10 We had to be pretty frugal in Porto (and Portugal in general) because prices are really high this year for transport and accommodation. The hotel was $84/night for example, and that was the cheapest one with vacancy in all of Porto.
