ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO - First Impressions, Food, and an Emotional Goodbye

Good morning from Essaouira. We arrived yesterday by taxi. So today we're leaving Marrakesh. What a crazy time. We had to book a grand taxi. There's only six seats possible. So we bought out the other two seats, put our backpacks and our luggage. We had too much stuff. So it's 600 total. Took a little over two hours. Our taxi driver was so quick. We just enjoyed a little coffee out of the back of this guy's truck. Best rest is always so good with this beautiful view. And there are tons of camels by us which is always interesting. They're so huge. So we just arrived to town. Dropped off our bags real quick and grabbing lunch here at Fish Burger. It has amazing reviews and I'm assuming the seafood is going to be really good around here since we're right on the sea. Cheese on fish. What a great welcome. We just had a little band come by and play some music on traditional instruments. We just got served my mint lemonade which is super delicious. Wow. Oh my gosh that looks so good. So I got the crispy fish burger. This is their best-selling item here. Also with onion rings and some tartar sauce which I'm always a fan of. This is a massive burger. I love the looks of this bun too. I'm just gonna go for it. That white fish is so flaky. I love the coleslaw on there. What a great first lunch spot. The waiters were so friendly too. I think we'll be back there in one of the next two days while we're here. Today we're going to be showing you this beautiful coastal town. Showing you its unique charm and hopefully enjoying some fresh seafood. So I believe this beach is famous from the tv series Game of Thrones with the fortress in the background. Don't quote me on that but it looks very familiar. We're just walking through the port now. It is very rustic and authentic I feel like. And smelly. So many seagulls and cats as well. They're all hoping for a piece of fish. I love the place though and a lot of seagulls have had luck with fish as well. Check out all the matching blue boats here. Pretty awesome place. Jackie walks around like this when she films. She used to do a journal and now she does like video logs on her phone. But it's the cutest thing because she walks around and she's like and here we are at the Dead Island Camp in the absolutely gorgeous sunset. And she whispers and Tom goes Jackie's gonna start her own channel called the the Travel Whisperer. But she does her own video log so she can remember what her videos are of. These little alleyways smell so good this morning. Everybody's roasting their almonds right now and it's just going through all these little streets. Oh it's making me hungry. Time to get a coffee. All the fresh stuff huh? Those two ladies were so sweet. They let me try the amlu which is that roasted almonds, honey, and argan oil all mixed together. They serve it for breakfast a lot of places with their bread. It's so delicious. A little bottle is only six dollars. I'll have to get some of that before we go. I love all the pottery they have here. We just came to this little cafe. It's called Brotherhood Cafe. They serve a really really nice spiced coffee. It has like cardamom and star anise in it. It's very very good and everybody else got some cappuccinos. Cheers. What makes you get the spice over the normal coffee? What do you like about the spice latte? The spice. I like the spice. I love how laid-back the medina is here especially compared to Fez and Marrakesh. Nobody's hassling you here. The shop owners are just chilling. So tonight's a very special night. We're celebrating dad's birthday tonight. Happy birthday dad. We're going to for a special seafood dinner and they're the biggest and largest lobsters. I guess it's the same thing right? We had some free dinner drinks already. You never say that to the camera. I haven't made my Anyway we're going to dinner. Tom and Jackie found a great spot to have some lobster. This is Zach. Hello. This is Zach's restaurant. Okay. Tom and Jackie scouted this place out earlier so they're already in with the locals. MD 2020. What's that? What's MD 2020? You don't know MD 2020. Oh my gosh. You grew up in the high life. Mad dog. It's like the cheapest wine ever. Oh I was like you're making less and less sense. But it was like wow. And how much does one of these run about? Like 600 grams. You would get 300 grams. That's good. What? We didn't say what kind of wine we were. Please stop it. We didn't. This is getting the real deal right here. My amazing father. One more year. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. One more year. Maybe I had to pour it differently for these ladies. They always. One for my homies. Jackie and I pour alcohol. We always pour it like this and we always say one for my homies because it's more steady. But they like to be posh like this. We don't care. What did you say? She said I should have poured my own glass all the way up. You should have. I thought she was going to actually. You like giving him? Yeah he's my best one. I agree. Yeah. Look how beautiful that looks. How often do you eat lobster? Me one time by week. One time a week? Oh lucky you man. That's good. So my dad's birthday is always very special growing up. He does a rare thing so on his birthday he buys everybody he's with and other family members presents on his birthday. Any dads out there I highly recommend adopting this. It makes everybody so excited for your own birthday. I love the vibe too. He's playing the Eminem radio station which is one of my favorite rappers of all time. I'm a big hip-hop fan so everything's perfect so far. So he said he's add this secret sauce now. Yeah it's like a butter lemon and honey. Oh honey. Honey. Oh nice. That's how they get this caramelized color. Yeah I like that man. Do you want to taste it? Oh yeah that's good man. I seriously can't wait for this lobster. Spent such a long time. So spoiled tonight. I've been doing lobster more than 14 years. 14 years doing lobster? Wow. You have it mastered then huh? How old are your kids? Oh look at that Jackie. Beautiful. Okay give them the two small ones. It looks so good. Lobster. That's awesome. All right. I love it when you call me big papa. When you got the biggest lobster. How was your lobster birthday boy? Lobster's really good. Yeah? Yes. Anything you'd hope for Everything is so delicious. I love the little vegetable plate we got here. It is so good. Everything's so fresh but of course look how ginormous this lobster is. It so hits the spot. Thank you dad. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. The fries are so crispy and salty. Like everything is so delicious. It's like the lobster's the star of the show but nothing is like lacking. It's very good. Eating like kings tonight. It's gonna turn into like a mukbang. Oh we did good you guys. How'd you guys enjoy the meal? It was so wonderful. Lobster was amazing. Side dishes were wonderful. Anytime a poor kid from the hood is eating lobster tail that's a good night. Awesome ownership. Thank you my man. Thank you so much. We'll see you again. Yeah hope so. Hope so. Thank you. What a super special and delicious dinner. We're gonna head over to Sunset now and enjoy our last night here. So we're ending our day here at the Old City Walls. I feel like this this setting makes this city is so beautiful. We're gonna watch sunset. This might be the most popular spot we've been to in this town. Everybody's lined up on this fortress wall overlooking the sea. The sea is so wild here which I really appreciate and love. Doesn't get better than this. This is what, the ramparts here is what makes this whole area so special and the sunsets at night. Crazy ocean. Yeah the ocean is truly wild right now. So we stopped at a place here for dessert. Wow that is rich. Really good the chocolate. Multi-layer cake. Chocolate on the top. This is chocolate mousse. We were walking on this alleyway. This guy was frying up some donuts. I'm always a fan of greasy fried bread. That delicious donut was I think only 10 cents which is pretty wild. What a great place to end our time here in Morocco and Essaouira. So super laid back. So nice and relaxing. I'm gonna miss you guys. It's such a good time. Love you guys. We'll miss you a lot. Love you Sammy. It's been a great trip and it was great that we could share it with each other. Yes love you guys. Love you. We love you too Sammy.
