Explore Armenia's Hidden Gem: A Tour of Dilijan!

[Applause] [Music] so today i woke up and i'm like i'm gonna go to dilijan today and film there because finally the weather is not rainy today so that's what's happening um it took me about two hours to get here i called my gigi the uber app type thing um at 8 30 and i got here at 10 30 so i'll be spending half of the day here unfortunately not the full day but that's for a good reason because i have another filming happening in yerevan around four which should be an exciting collaboration stay tuned so i'll be heading back to yerevan midday but i think even if it's just for half a day it's still so worth it to be here it's so beautiful dilijan is a city a town in northern armenia and it's called the switzerland of armenia because it kind of reminds you of it i'll show you guys we'll go for a tour but before that i'm gonna go to one of my favorite cafes in dilijan it's in the city center it's called cafe number two because i really need coffee at this point i'll show you the outside and then we'll go in so let's do this oh and in case you guys are wondering there is mini buses that go directly from yaravanto dilijan which would be much more affordable than the gg the cab um the cab cost me about 10 000 which is 20 usd uh the minibus i would say would be i think around 3000 uh but just for scheduling purposes i had to take the dg to be flexible with my return and departure times with that being said i would really appreciate it if you can like this video to help the youtube algorithm and hopefully it will help me cover the costs of the caps thank you guys let's do this together how cute is this i'm gonna sit on this little tiny balcony and then inside oh i'm so excited for the coffee let's do this look at the scenery let me see if i can make the lighting yes so many cool options i don't know what to get [Music] coffee here [Applause] now i'm awake okay i ordered the thing that was called the healthiest i'm doing this i don't know um it's basically fried eggs avocado toast tomatoes let's see how it goes also fun fact my yellow nails are starting to chip which i think is good news for everybody because there were truly an eyesore so yeah that's happening the food is here looks good let's try it okay sorry the table is a bit wobbly do i know how to eat no that's good it's good okay i'm gonna go enjoy this and then i'll see you guys on the road so i came out of the side entrance to show you guys their outdoor space how cute is this i've got the engraving on the chair and there's a free little library let's check if there's anything inside all right it looks like it's empty it's empty but it's okay [Music] okay i'm gonna exit from here and then we're gonna go to the old part of the town arabic okay now that i'm fed and i have my coffee i think it's about seven minute walk from here to the old town so i'm gonna walk maybe i'll show you some of the way and then i'll show you around town this walk is so beautiful it just feels like hiking in the nature i love daily john so much and it's just a straight line so i don't have to check my navigation as much as i thought so i'll start kind of showing you around which is i guess the good news because who needs to see my face look at this view so green [Music] so i think you can start seeing so there's a hotel here i think there's a restaurant we'll go through it and see why is this there's a museum up there let's go check oh it's so quiet here is it closed i think it's closed sneak peek so you guys visit when you come [Music] there's the view from above okay going back down
