🚲🇨🇾 Exploring Paphos by Bike from St George Hotel Spa & Beach Resort 🌊☀️
Hi everyone, Steve here – or as many of you know me – Stick Man Steve.
This is Vlog 5 from our 8-night All Inclusive Plus holiday at the stunning St George Hotel Spa & Beach Resort in Chlorakas, Paphos, Cyprus. We booked with Jet2 Holidays, flying from Manchester Airport direct to Paphos, and today’s adventure takes us out of the hotel and onto two wheels for a full day of exploring!
We started the day with a relaxed breakfast at the Boulevard Café Bar instead of the main buffet – perfect for a quieter start. I also show the menu and prices for anyone wondering what things cost if you’re not on the all inclusive plan.
After breakfast, we hired bikes from reception (€10 each cash, €11 card) – great value for a whole day. Armed with our pin codes, we unlocked our bikes and headed off to find the Paphos promenade, aiming to cycle all the way to Paphos Harbour and maybe further. The morning began cloudy but soon brightened into glorious sunshine.
Along the way we passed and filmed Mersini Beach, Koskinas Beach, the Tomb of the Kings, and the Sunset/Shipwreck Viewpoint. We made plenty of stops for photos and videos – the views are just too good not to capture. Reaching Paphos Harbour, we found it buzzing thanks to a classic car show (P.C.V.C). We decided to skip going inside Paphos Castle for now and instead enjoyed a quiet lunch at Leonidas – two delicious chicken gyros, chips, salad and local beer (€48 total).
On the way back, we stopped at Antasia Beach Club and admired the views over Bruton Beach – clear blue water and golden sand. We cycled past Louis Imperial Beach Hotel, Karkoloues Beach, Lighthouse Beach, and Panagia Thalassini Church, soaking up the scenery before returning to the hotel mid-afternoon.
Back at St George, we treated ourselves to snacks at Mercato Italian Restaurant followed by cocktails at the Aeolos Pool & Swim-Up Bar – intending just one but ending up having three each after chatting with a lovely couple!
That evening, we decided to eat outside the hotel and walked to The Fat Fig Cyprus Taverna. It was quiet (perfect for filming), and we enjoyed a two-course meal with cold beers, chatting with the friendly owner. Highly recommended if you’re staying nearby.
The vlog also shows the wine menu from the Semeli Wine Bar (included in the all inclusive package) and sneak peeks at the new Tiki Tropical Bar drinks menu – unique cocktails exclusive to the hotel.
Tomorrow is a big day as we head out on our first excursion: the Village Venture: Troodos Mountains Food & Wine Tour – plus our favourite à la carte meal of the trip at Shoga Asian Restaurant. That’s all coming in Vlog 6 – make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it!

about to leave already packing. Come with me. I’m not really asking. We’ll get away to a place where we don’t know. About to see the world in action. What we can be. Life with no distractions. We’ll get away. This is what we waited for. [Music] Hello and welcome to Cruise Travel and Explore with Stickman Steve. Thanks for joining me today. This is vlog five in day three at the St. George’s Hotel. And today we hire bikes and go the fat fig. Good morning. It is uh Sunday today and uh it is oh 20. I gained an hour and a day cuz I actually thought it was Monday. So it’s Sunday and it’s 10:00. Uh we got up about half 7. So I’ve been up for for a little while. Uh we’re all dressed and ready to go on our bike ride today. We’re going to hire the bikes from downstairs in reception. I’ve mentioned before the the £10 for the day. Uh we’re not sure how long you get, but we think it’s basically until you you bring it back. I don’t They didn’t say there was a time limit on it. So, we’re going to cycle down to Pathos Harbor today and uh see how far we can cycle. We’re not quite sure how long we’re going, do we? The Prominard. We were speaking to Chris yesterday and he said it was about an hour walk. to maybe about half an hour, 40 minutes on a bar. Okay, it’s not too far. And Chris is the Elvis personator at the Sapphire Bar. We’re also going to book an additional excursion today. Lagoon, and the only day is free is on Friday, but we’ve already got an excursion there. So, we’re just going to leave it. We’ve already got four things planned anyway, and there’s a few other bits and bats we want to do around the area. So, we’re just going to keep things as they are. So, it gives us a little bit of free time. Uh we’re going to go down for breakfast. We’re not going to go in the buffet. We’re just going to go down to the coffee shop. We’re not that hungry after the amazing food last night. We’re still quite full, but we are a bit peckish. So, we’re going to get something to eat, have a coffee, and then jump on the bikes. And hoping we get a bike lock today cuz there’s a few things we’d like to go and see. I think one’s the the tombs. If we haven’t got a bike lock, we’re probably going to have to uh Chris said you could get the bus at the top of the road, and it’s only is it 10 minutes on the bus? Yeah. And I think you said it was about €2. Yesterday when we did the filming, we showed you a little bit of the main road that that’s where you get the bus from. Uh so that’s the plans at the moment. Yeah, that’s all we can tell you. So uh come and join us and we’ll speak to you in a bit. Bye. Never want to go to the coffee shop. Uh we always get lost here. Oh yeah. So then you’ve got your coffee shop here. Right. So, I’ve gone for two breakfast sandwiches and a fruit yogurt. Gemma’s gone for mozzarella fish. There you go. Very nice. This is the menu for the Boulevard Cafe. Now, on this menu, you’re going to see some prices. Now, this is not what it costs if you want these items. If you’re not in an all-inclusive package, then these are the charges that you would pay to have those individual items. If you’re in the all-inclusive package or the all-inclusive premium package, which is exactly the same, those items are free of charge. Ignore the prices. That’s what you’d pay if you weren’t on those packages. So, if you want to watch TV or sports, they show the football lab. coffee shop is just next to the uh TV and you got tires there to your right hand side. That’s the door on We’ve just rented the bikes. It’s €10 a day. Uh we want to pay on car, but they they don’t really take car payment. They prefer to uh your fee to pay in cash. So if you do use your car, they’ll charge you 5%. It’s not much. because it cost 21 in total for both of us instead of if you pay in cash then it’s €20. So it’s only €1 more. So we just paid on our uh Revolute card. Uh also as far as I’m aware you don’t get padlocks. So which causes a bit of a slight problem cuz what we wanted to do was go and see a few things and then lock the bikes up. We were going to go into the uh the tombs. lock the bikes there then go to the tombs but because we haven’t got a padlock which means we can’t do that uh which is a shame. So what we’re going to do instead we’re just going to get a bus down there on another day because it’s only €2. Each bike you get a you get your piece of paper and on that piece of paper as you has a pin code to unlock the bikes and lock the bikes back when you drop them off. So these are the bikes. Where are the bike numbers? Oh. 4356 4357’s mine. And this one’s mine. So that’s Gemma’s. So Gemma’s going to show you what to do. [Music] You can’t take So there’s a padlock there, but you can’t take it with you. Well, that’s what I was asking when you were saying about going to the tooth. I think she thought you supposed to is there somewhere where you like have to see why you can’t take her. cuz no one else can use it. Just going to put it in the bag. I think there’s been a bit of a confusion. I think you can take these padlocks. I think what they meant was Jimmy just said that is that you can’t lock your bike up to there’s nowhere to do it. So, we’re going to take the padlocks with us. Just trying to find how you get down to the uh prominard from the auto, which we’re not 100% certain at the moment. It is. There might be a road here we can get down to the prominard. If not, we’re going to have to head back the other way. We probably should have asked that. You must be able to get down that way. Right. These are beautiful. Look at these. Yeah, they’re lovely. But the only thing I don’t like about it is your swimming pool at the front. Yeah, very like imagine. Yeah, cuz you won’t want to go swimming at the front, would you? They are stunning though. Nice one. Look at that one. Very nice. Continue walking and then you’ve got this this hill uh to get down to the prominard. So, the St. George’s Hotel is just there straight in front. So, I don’t think I’m going to cycle down this cuz I don’t feel that confident yet with this bike of of the hill and the St. George’s Hotel just behind that skip there straight in front. So, you can’t take your bikes through there. You’ve got to go around the hotel. We’re going to go up that hill. All right. So, this is one of our first stop offs. We’ve been cycling for 2 minutes if that. You got all these beautiful uh apartments that are being built. There’s a lot of construction work going on around here. A hell of a lot. Some really, really nice places. Not much land they’ve built them on, but they are stunning. I’m not going to get too close to that edge, but Oh, it’s just behind us there. And the hotel is that way, just behind me. [Music] Come cycling. It’s not all prominard. You have got some off-road bits like these. Find it relatively easy. It’s just not a full prominard, which we thought it was. There’s a little roads you have to push your bikes down and then this little pathway here. We’re hoping that it leads to a prominard. Uh but it could be like this all the rest of the way. We don’t know, but we’ll find out in a bit. I guess we’re going to do a little bit of uh off-roading. Yes, it looks like it’s all off road. All right, we’re back on the uh pathway. That off road wasn’t didn’t last long. It was only a minute or so. [Music] Can’t complain desire all the things you’re searching. Don’t you want to see what you and you all? All right, we’re just stopping for our first little break. We can actually feel rain some little drops. We’ve looked at the weather app and it says there’s a chance of rain, but it’s not showing when that rain is going to happen. Uh, so we’re hoping it holds off. Matter of fact, I can feel rain again. Yeah, I can. Like breaks in the cloud as well. So, I don’t think it if it rains, I don’t think it’ll rain for long. No, but we hope not. We’ll be all right, won’t we? Yeah, maybe. Woo! [Music] And the the marina’s just behind us. So, we’re going to cycle there now and get a drink, aren’t we? Yeah. Finally made it didn’t take too long, did it? Half an hour. It’s probably take half an hour to cycle, but we’ve we’ve stopped by a few times. [Music] Give me [Music] one. [Music] the uh fort just behind us. So, we’re going to take a couple of pictures and then go for a drink somewhere down there. A really there’s must be some event going on cuz there’s loads of people down here at the moment. [Music] It looks like there’s a market and there’s a old car show going on behind. So, I think we’re going to come back down here in another day. We want to go in the fort, but we can’t really do it because of the bikes. I know we could possibly block them up outside, but I don’t really find leaving them there cuz imagine if these bikes did go missing. I bet to replace uh and he also wants to go to the tombs, but he’s really busy today down here. [Music] the boat excursions down there. [Music] just spotted we’ve got an excursion booked in the afternoon. You can zoom in. And that’s the uh the boat we’re going on. We’ve stopped off at this little bar and we’re getting some Greek gyros with uh chicken and chips and salad [Music] because we’re eating uh at the Fat Fig or there’s a Georgian restaurant tonight. We fancy something different. So, we just stopped here for a beer and uh some food, some Greek gyros. So, it’s our first ones. So, we’re looking forward to it. It’s nice and quiet and we can leave the bikes here. We’ve changed our bikes just there. So, we can keep an eye on them while we’re eating. Few restaurants. You got another one just next door as well. That one there are our gyros chips and salad. So, I think it was €12.90. And I think the beers my pint was I think it was €3.90. Yeah, we came in this one because it was quiet and we couldn’t watch the bikes. So there was a lot of restaurants down there really busy. Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you. But we were too busy and we we needed to be able to see where the bikes were locked up. So we chose it cuz it was quiet, but it was a good choice. Jeez looked on Trip Advisor said it gets good views. Uh it’s lovely. Lovely. Yes. So we’re going to tuck in. Cheers, guys. We’ve just finished our food. It came to uh €42. Uh we got I got two pints and we got two and that was two chicken gyros with chips and salad. So the food was really nice there. Very nice indeed. The staff are really friendly. So I’d recommend it’s called Leodinas. Uh but I’ll put a link in the uh in the group. So definitely worth trying out. The sun’s come out now so it’s nice and sunny. It’s a lot busier down here today. We’re talking to the guy who owns the bar and he was saying there’s a an event on today. It’s like old classic cars and there’s other things going on the market stores. So, it’s a lot more busier today than it normally is. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Not bad. Very nice. Is it a beach club? Is it? Well, yeah. Depends on how you like your towel and your And then you’ve got access to change. [Music] So, a lot of the cycling routes go through the actual hotels. So, uh the prominard cuts through them. So, we noticed this in quite a few areas, even the St. George’s. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] All right, we’ve just stopped off for another little break. There’s a little club, I think. It’s called Anastasia Beach Club, and you’ve got a beach just down there. It’s really stunning. Yeah. Yeah. So, the beach down there is beautiful. There’s lots of uh beach clubs here. So, even if you got a an apartment that didn’t have a swim pool, there’s lots of places that you can hire, beach beds, uh drink service. Really nice place to stop off. And the weather’s turned out. It’s really nice. So, we’re going to cycle a bit further and then we’re going to make our way back to the uh to the hotel. But really nice beach club there. Probably the best one we’ve seen. [Music] [Applause] up to the Lewis Imperial Beach Hotel and then we’re going to go back because uh where it’s got a sign there, there’s no cycling. It’s got a an X through it. And now I don’t know whether that was the case for the other hotels. Yeah. But there’s no X’s here, is it? It’s just there. So you can cycle through here, which is just the way we’ve just come. Not sure how far you’ve got to push it. So we’re going to head back now. What time is it on? Uh it’s quart 2 2. So we’ve been out since about 20 10. Yeah. So we’ve gone long enough, haven’t we? We’ve done 4 hours. So we’ll cycle back to the hotel now and make our way there. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] 27.4° apparently. It feels hot as well though to be honest. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] cruise. We booked the uh Ocean Vision on Tuesday night 8 till 12 I think it is and they pick us up and drop us off and all your food and drinks included. So, we’re really looking forward to it. It’s huge. [Music] Yes, we got that one booked for the night time. And this is the ocean flyers the VIP only. [Music] And that one is adults €49, children €29. Uh, Pirates Adventure, and that’s from 10 to 10:00 a.m. till uh 2:00 p.m. Your cruises, your boat cruises, you can uh come down here. It says, and it also says with this VIP one that uh the boat can take 100 people, but it they only allow 50 passengers. We did have another one booked, but it got cancelled. So now you can just walk down here and then book you on uh boat cruises. We booked both of ours, I think. One directly through them. Yeah, I think one through Viet I think. Yeah, I think it was, wasn’t it? Booking one through VTO and one directly with it sounds staff. We would have booked both through them, but for some reason on the one the other one we wanted to do when we typed to the hotel, it just wasn’t showing up. So, we had to go through Vio. Otherwise, we would have bought both directly. There was no price difference. Yeah. They’re both the same regardless. But I think it’s easier to cancel it with Vital. Yeah. Than it is directly booking through them because I think you can Yeah. You’ve got 24 hours to cancel if you want to go a full refund. So, that’s what we’ve done. Not afraid where you hire it, but you stayed. Don’t think I’m quite at that level yet. Yeah. Well, we’re nowhere near that level. One day, just need Gemma just to work a little bit harder. [Laughter] Grand endorsements, don’t you? Product placements. Then we’ll be we’ll be sorted. Yeah. Not quite ready for those just yet, though. I order going. Yeah, they’re being offered, but I’m not accepting any yet. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] you. [Music] It’s 20 2. We’ve just left the uh the fort which is just behind us. So, we’re going to see how long it takes us to cycle back. Obviously, it it’s busy along here, so you can’t cycle at a normal pace. It’s stop and start along the way, but it’s just a nice, pleasant cycle. It’s not too difficult. [Music] this morning. when we took some pictures uh by a rock. There’s like a little uh cross there. Uh this is the area now that we took them. So, it was really nice there. All right. So, this is the spot we’re at this morning. You can see how different the weather is now. It’s a lot more sunny. Uh this morning wasn’t too great. It was cloudy. [Music] [Music] We’re just going to stay here for a little while. Just uh drink some water, get a bit of shade. [Music] Too far away now. I feel like I have to cycle up that hill. So fit. [Music] [Music] It is 24. We got back about 15 minutes ago. Yeah. So, we got back about uh half 3. It was a lot quicker cycling back than it was going there, but it was a lot hotter. Uh so, now we’re just going to go and get a get a drink and uh bike to eat and then go in the swimming pool. But it’s really nice that we enjoyed that, didn’t we? Yeah. So, we’ve been out there cycle for bikes for 5 hours. Not been cycling fully for 5 hours. But so, we’re going to go down to the uh Greek restaurant and get some food and drink. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] This is a little shop. You can buy all your little goods, your magnets, shampoos, your toothpaste, uh your toiletries, your wine. Anything that you might have forgot, don’t worry, you can buy it there. But you do pay more for it. So, we’re going to go the top shop, the little shop I’ve just showed you. That’s where you can get anything and everything. You can get anything in there. Lighters, magnets, toothpaste, mouthwash, uh sun creams, crisps, pop, you name it, you can get in there in the uh in the hotel. But the prices like anywhere else are a bit more expensive. So, we need some water. We’re going through quite a lot of water, aren’t we at the moment? So, we’re going up to the top shop to get some more water. We only bought some yesterday, but we’re out again. So, we’re going to buy lots of bottles of water so we don’t have to keep coming up here every day. Drinking lots of wine, Steve, but also thinks that drinking lots of water combat. It does to a certain degree. It does to a certain degree. It’s good that you’re drinking the water, but I don’t think you meant to drink equal parts water and equal parts wine. Wine. Well, we’ve ended up drinking slightly more again than we wanted to. The the idea was we get one drink and then go in the swimming pool. Two lovely people called Chris and Andy and Sue. Sorry. Andy and Sue. Called Andy and Sue. They were lovely. So, if you watch the vlogs, you know who you are. We got talking to them and we had four cocktails. Chatted for couple of hours. Couple of hours. Uh, so like yesterday, as you can see, there’s a continuous theme of this holiday. We get chatty, we end up drinking too much. We end up sitting out in the sun for too long and not doing the stuff we’re supposed to be doing. So we’re now I suppose that’s part of a holiday to enjoy it as it comes. Yeah. And it’s lovely meeting new people like yesterday where we met Vicky and Chris. Sorry. Yesterday again it wasn’t plans. It’s just the way it happens in life. You come across amazing individuals that you just want to spend time with that you have a lot of things in common with. So thank you guys for today. Uh but I’m sure we’ll see you in the hotel around. So that’s why we’re going up top shop slightly later than what we wanted to Top Shop. to Top Shop. He thought I was Yorkshire. No, no, no. Behind. That’s the Georgian restaurants. So, we might be going there tonight. Or the Fat Fig. Either way, whichever one we do now, we’ll do the other one. But they both get really good reviews. Yeah. Whichever we don’t do tonight, we’ll probably do on Friday night. Yes. I would like to try that vegan place though as well as lunch that I will. Yeah, we can do cuz that gets really good views. And that’s just there. This is how quick it is to walk here. So the supermarket is just there. So you can be here within 2 minutes of leaving the George Hotel 8. We just got back from the supermarket, get a few bits, and we’re going to go to the Fat Fig now. Or we’re going to go the Georgian restaurant. We’re just going to walk past them and see what the vibe’s like there. So that’s where we’re off to now. I think you just come out of the uh George’s Hotel, which is behind, and just go up some steps, which is in front of us, and it’s about 2-minute walk into if that started raining. Oh, J says it’s raining. It’s very dark. You probably can’t even see me. Yeah. [Music] Yep. Give it a go. Want to go for the uh mezz mix starter. Yeah. Uh I’m going to go for the calamari and then I’m going to go for the uh mlava as a dessert. Go for the stardo. So the beef beef dish, a Greek classic stewed beef and onions with circle of rice. Sounds nice. And if it’s nice, we can come back again. Yeah. Aren’t we? She can try some of mine anyway. So to see what it’s like. It’s really nice in here. Yeah. You got the great music. Little cats. There’s little cats everywhere, aren’t they? It’s quite nice. It’s just uh two of us in here today. Means we can film and not being self-conscious. close to us. It does. I’m going to have to record all our voices anyway on this cuz there’s the music in the background. Mhm. So, it’s very pretty, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s really nice. Thought I might as well just record cuz there’s nobody here at the moment. So, you got outside seating and inside. We just thought it might be nice just to uh sit outside. There she is. Very nice. the mix mezz. I’m not sure everything that’s there, but it looks really nice. Oh, we got the breads as well. Thank you very much. Cheers, buddy. Uh, they were just saying they had a big Greek night last night and we did see it, but we already had plans so we couldn’t turn up. But today’s be honest, today’s really nice cuz it’s just me and Gemma and there’s another couple over there. I’ll start. move closer to the table so I don’t spill it. Looks very nice, doesn’t it? Yeah, it does. It looks lovely. I’m going to go first. It looks like vine leaves. Yeah. Uh and I’m not sure what it’s stuffed with. Could be a feta. It could be a mint. Could be rice by the looks of it. Yeah. It’s a hummus, isn’t it? By the looks of it. Yeah, I think so. I really love the olives here. The olives just taste so different. That’s really good. The rice is dead soft. It’s not uh sticky. And the vine leaves taste really fresh without Yeah, that’s a thumbs up. Very, very nice. Very impressed. Got lots of flavor. Taste of lime. Actually tastes got a bit of chili in there as well. Has it? But yeah, I’m liking that. Which am I going for? I’m curious. I’m not a big So I think these are like Harry beans, aren’t they? I’m not a big bean fan, but I’m going to give them a go because I’m sure whatever the dressing will be delicious. They look very nice, though. So, they’re like giant baked beans, but the sauce has got like a lot of depth of flavor to it. Very nice. Trying the beans. It’s weird cuz they are identical just to like a giant baked bean, but the sauce tastes slightly different. I really like a big baked bean. I like those. They’re really nice. Finally with two olives, some red olive. Yeah, I’ll take some dried cloves. Really fresh. Yeah, I’m going to eat lots. That taziki tziki. That’s it. And then you’ve got your termalatta, I think, is this pink one here. That go. I’m going to go for an olive. Are they pitted or not pitted? We’ve got We’ve got the um seeds and that’s I love olives. I’m getting taste so different, don’t they? When they over here, they’re such an acquired taste, aren’t they? I remember when I was younger, I didn’t used to like them. I am quite bitter. Same with gerkins as well. I never like those when I was a kid, but I do now. Fine. Those are lovely. See what you mean about like the something that’s got a little bit of like subtle spices. Have you tried the beet boot yet? No, I haven’t. Take another small piece of bread. Reminds me a bit of being in Italy really, you know, in a sense of like you have so many cars. You do. There was a couple talking about that today when we went in the restaurant. There was uh the guy who owns it was talking to us and he was trying to attempt in u a couple and uh they were saying that they’ve been here for a week when they’ve never they’ve never had so so much bread. They feel like they’ve way more bread than they normally have. But because of that they were so bloated and they were struggling to sleep because it’s not the kind of food they normally eat. They don’t have bread. So I I do get what they’re saying. If you don’t eat bread all the time, you do get quite bloated, don’t you? M I’m going to try some uh beetroot. I think the dips are so nice. Oh, you want to carry on eating the bread, don’t you? You don’t just want to leave it. No. Oh, the beetroot’s nice as well. You don’t really taste the beetroot. You taste more of the juice that the pickles are in. But here, it’s not in a juice. It’s in its natural form. So, you taste the beetroot. You can’t get like the salad beetroot. But even so, I think whatever you get like fruit veg wise never tastes quite the same. No, it doesn’t. No. But so far, I think it’s really really nice. Starters. What did you think of them? They were really nice. Yeah. Really impressed. But the only thing for me was like there was I wanted to eat a lot more dip, but I didn’t want to have any more bread, which Yeah. Yeah. So, I had to finish the bread off. Couldn’t leave it. don’t like wasting food. But Je I I had most of the breads. I was just dipping it in all the dips because they were so fresh. Nice. Really nice. And when I was talking, I said to Jim, I said, “I feel like they got chili in them.” He said, “Yeah, this they’ve added chili to them all, but you it’s not overly spicy. Just get a tiny little kit.” But they were really nice. Are our mains calamari, which looks really nice. Gemma’s actually eyeing them up already. She can try some. And Gemma’s gone for an authentic Greek dish. Stifardo. Stifardo. So it looks very nice. That smells amazing. That smells like the one in debin. I’m very jealous now. Spicy mayo dip. Mayo dip. I’m not going to have any mayo dip with it. You’re not having any lemon on it. Oh yeah. All spotted. I’m not going to film everything while we’re eating. Just a little bit. So then we can enjoy our food. That looks really good. So jealous. Well, I love you so much. I’ll let you try the first one. No, no, you you try it. No, because you had lots of that one in Debish. So, you can go for the taste test. No, no, you go for it. Try a little piece. That little one there. Is that okay? Mhm. Thank you. It’s ever so slightly battered. [Music] But I only had one piece of it. You had You had a lot. That’s really good. Just compared to these. Mhm. That is lovely. Yeah. I’m very jealous now. I will try my uh Greek sapados. You want to try a bit of this, Ben? I don’t know if I’ve had this before. You have? We’ve had it at Greek before. Oh, have we? Yeah. Actually, that piece is quite small. Try that piece. [Music] Tastes like it’s got cinnamon or nutmeg. I could smell the cinnamon as soon as it came out. It’s uh reminds me is it kept tell me is it bubble tea? Yeah, it’s a very cinnam reminds me of Christmas. I can definitely taste the cinnamon and milk. But that’s really nice that it’s sweet. Yeah. Yeah. Very nice. I like that. It’s got a little tiny kick to it. It’s got chilies in. But again, I I can’t eat really spicy foods. It’s not overly spicy. So, even if you you you got a spice tolerance for a baby lamb like I did, you can see that. Mhm. But it’s uh it’s really nice. I love the batter on the calabal cuz it’s really lightly battered. Right guys, we’re going to finish our dinner. Uh cheers. And uh next will be the desserts. I already know what I’m getting. Standard. Finished our food again. Food was really, really good. I’ve been greedy. I can’t eat it. And I’m just too full. And I’m not getting a dessert now either. I can’t stomach the dessert. And I I love I love dessert. I just can’t. I’m I’m bursting. I had way too much food, which is a shame. I I should have laid off the bread and wait for the main course. But it was lovely. The guy who uh runs the place, he’s brought out a local criate uh drink. They say the farmers make it. Yeah. like generations like ago. Yeah. Been handed down by a grandfather to the next grandfather and uh they have it after meal. So it’s supposed to be you see it says farmer’s moonshine. So So we’re going to try it. So you try it first. We’ll see how you get on. Let’s try it. You neck it back. I don’t know what you sip it or you neck it. Oh, that has got a kick. Wow. Oh, that that reminds me of a very strong tequila. I think Oh, that has definitely got a kick to it. I think I might have to I think you have to sip it. I was going to say I was like sipping it sipping it like making it worse for yourself. Is it that it’s got You can It It warms down there. Warms you up. It’s defin That’s That’s really strong. It’s got a kick to it. No, that’s yours. No. No. Okay. Cheers. Knock it back if you want. I think you might be strong for you that [Music] you feeling it burn now. Wow. Oh, my lips are tingling. But it tastes stronger than tequila. Yeah, it burns your lips like Yeah. It’s like white spirits. Yeah. Yeah. Really strong. Really strong. [Music] You can’t You can’t quite do it all, can you? You can’t. It’s actually easier knocking it back. Yeah. That’s what I thought. I thought if you sip it, you’re probably prolonging it. So, it is actually it doesn’t easier to neck it. If you if you sip it, you can taste the kick more. If you neck it back, it hasn’t got that same kick. It’s actually easier than necking it back. Okay. Go. Here it goes. I can feel the burning. Once you’ve had it, you kind of need something else to take the taste away. That warms. You can feel it warm you up inside. Been to fat fake and we’ve been uh speaking to Louis, the owner, and he was telling his background about his diet. It was really nice wording sharing those moments. But to be honest, everywhere we’ve been, we keep speaking to the owners. Uh but really nice. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend going there and it was just it was one of a couple in there when we first went in and it was just me and J. Later on there was another couple came in. So it was only six of us but they had a big massive night last night. They said they do it every month. I think a lot of people went in that as opposed to going tonight which is why it was so quiet. Yeah. So it was nice though. Meant we could film. We’re going to go and have a few glasses of wine cuz we’ve got an excursion tomorrow which is Tros Trude Mountains and it’s like food and wine as well. Yeah, we have to meet at 9:00 9:00 outside here tomorrow at night. So it’s all it’s a full day excursion. So we’re not going to have a late night drinks. So that’s what we’re doing so far. So come and join us. So, we unblock the Gemma and I’ve gone through Red. Then in here, right next to the lifts from where reception is there, you’ve got the uh wine bar which is just there. And then you’ve got a really big seating area outside which I’ve shown you on other footage that I filmed two days ago, I think it was. So, I’m just waiting for Gemma now. She’s just gone to the toilet. Now, I thought I’d upload this for you. This is the menu for the wine bar. Now, at the very end of this price list, there’s a QR code. If you scan that QR code, it takes you through to the auto official website. And on there, you can browse all the menus and all the drink prices. Now, on this particular menu, you’re going to see some prices next to the wines. These indicate the prices of those wines if you weren’t on the all-inclusive or the all-inclusive premium package. Now, the premium and all-inclusive packages are identical. They’re just titled different depending who you book with. And down here is your uh your American diner. We booked in there, but I can’t remember what day. And then straight in front along the very top of course got another bar area and then your coffee shop is down there. And then outside there is to the uh swim. There’s also another um area you can go and sit and have drinks. There’s loads of seating in this uh hotel. Loads of places to sit, loads of places to eat, loads of places to drink. So, yeah, very nice place. Now, I thought I would also upload the bar list for the brand new bar at St. George Hotel, which is the Tiki Bar. Unfortunately, when we were there, this bar wasn’t open. Uh but I believe it’s up by the wine bar, just slightly behind in what used to be called the premium bar. Now, this menu, you’re going to see some ticks next to the drinks. Anything with a tick is included in your all-incclusive package. Anything that’s on there that hasn’t got a tick, the red tick, that is an additional charge. Now, if you’re on the all-inclusive package or the premium, they’re both the same. They’re just tightly different who you bought with. Uh those are included. Now, also a QR code here. Scan this takes you through to the hotel website. So, I think we’re going to come back down here another day, but we’ll uh we’ll come down when it’s less busy. There she is. I think part of me thinks it’s going to be easier if you just neck it, but then the other side once you’ve got it in your mouth, it’s just like easier than necking it back. There it goes. I can feel it burning. [Music] I could do with another like water behind [Music] it, didn’t we? We got speaking to the owner. Um, it Chris told us I can’t remember now. Louis. Louie. We’ve got an excursion tomorrow which is Jord Mountain. Yeah, we have to meet at 10:00. 9:00. 9:00 outside the fat fig where we just been outside. Oh, is it outside? Ignore me, Jimmy. Yes.
