[Gordon] I'm not a star
You're not a star?
[Gordon] I'm not a star
Neither am I!
Buzios is a super small peninsula
Just 8 kilometers long
Just as a comparison with a famous beach
in Rio de Janeiro called Barra da Tijuca
That is the longest beach over there
and also one of the most famous
That beach alone is 18 kilometers long
And here there are 23 beaches
And these beaches are very different
Some have waves, some don't
Some have super cold waters
Some have water a little bit more comfortable
Others are very easy to reach
Others are very difficult to reach
And some have good infrastructure, some don't have anything at all
[Gordon] Come on, let's go
I'll go over all details about the beaches in my next vlog
In this one here I am giving an overview of Buzios
If you have never been here and want to know more
This is the video for you
I'm focusing on downtown and the area around downtown
And also the famous 'Rua das Pedras'
Or Stones' Street, you'll see why
Drive from Cabo Frio
Let's start from the beginning
How do you come to Buzios?
From Rio, it's a two and a half hour drive
If you don't want to rent a car, there are bus services
with a company called 1001 ('Mil e Um')
It's the number 1001
Also, there are lots of travel agencies that do this transfer service
It's safe and easy
This is actually how Gordon came here in the first place
Even before meeting me
It changed your life didn't it?
Here you can see the peninsula very well
But this is upside down, it's not like this
Buzios only has one entry and one exit
It's this street right here
From here you can get the side streets
that will take you to the various beaches
And when you look at the map
everything seems very convenient,
very close and easy to reach
But actually there are lots of hills
Lots of narrow streets, a lot of curves
And during summer it's a constant nightmare
It can be a constant traffic jam
This is why it is very important for you to choose wisely
where to stay
[Gordon] Renata! [Renata] What?
[Gordon] Madonna!
[Renata] Madonna...
[Gordon] Madonna is here!
So how do you choose where to stay here?
Here is my tip
Choose somewhere where you want to spend most of your time
A specific beach or a specific restaurant, a beach club
This way you won't depend as much on taxis, boat taxis or even driving
What do I do? I like to stay downtown
Because here, it doesn't matter what beach I go
during the day
I always come here after the beach
This is where all restaurants and shops are located
Also nightlife is here
This way I leave my car in the pousada or hotel
And I can do everything walking
If you want to come here driving it is complicated
Right now, for example, police is over there, they are redirecting traffic
So, it's not always that you can drive here downtown
People are just coming here, they're having to go somewhere else... It complicates
'Rua das Pedras' is right here, very close to the ocean
See? The ocean is over there and the famous street is over here
That side, that way, another really beautiful place called 'Orla Bardot'
We're gonna walk that way as well, but first let's go for a stroll here
Way back when all the streets in Buzios were like this
I guess this is the only one or one of the few that remain
Walking here is hard work
Girls, don't even dream of high heels
'Rua das Pedras' is one single street
600 meters long - If you think like that it seems small
But actually in reality the area is much bigger, it expands
becasue there are lots of side streets like this
Full of shops and restaurants
It is really nice
Look at that view through the store
Expected to find only handicrafts and beachy stuff here?
No, this is Buzios, things are different here
And things are only this empty because everyone is at the beach now
But you're gonna see later
A very important tip about Buzios
Bring cash
As crazy as it might sound at this day and age
Not all shops and restaurants here accept credit cards
Like that one - 'Chez Michou' - one of the most traditional ones here
Cash only, you're going to thank me
And also get ready because this is an expensive city
Even if you compare it to the most sophisticated and expensive metropolis in Brazil
Oh, look at this view here! How wonderful, beautiful!
In a way, Buzios is still a fishing village
All the fishing boats here
And some yachts too
So, which one is yours?
[Gordon] I don't have a yacht
You don't have?
[Gordon] No
[Gordon] Over there
That one?
Which?
Which one?
[Gordon] The Black and white one
I wish...
At night this becomes a pedestrian only street
[Gordon] It's hot out, come visit me
What? What are you trying to say?
[Gordon] I said it's hot out, come visit me
[Gordon] I'm talking to you
[Gordon] But you're behind the camera
[Gordon] Renata behind the camera, do you want a Coke?
Yes!
[Gordon] Renata, come on, have a Coke with me, it's hot
Buzios is a very international city
You see a lot of foreigners here
Especially from Argentina
They're here not only as visitors, but a lot of them live here, they work here
You see street vendors from Argentina, for example
It's even funny
I think on this trip I spoke even more Spanish than Portuguese here on the streets
But you also see a lot of Europeans, especially French and Italian
[Renata] Thank you [Vendor] You're welcome, thanks to you
Lots of alleys that end up in the ocean
I just had to show my team here
Now we're going back via the street behind 'Rua das Pedras'
Equally nice, full of shops and restaurants
[Voice on the street] We have meat, past, shrimp...
[Voice on the street] Enjoy your tour around
We're back here now to the pier area
And now we're gonna walk towards the other way
Welcome to 'Orla Bardot'. You'll understand why
[Gordon] Keep going
When you first came here, is that when you fell in love with Brazil?
[Gordon] Yeah [Renata] Awww
And that was before meeting me
[Gordon] You speak a lot
I speak a lot, yes
I speak a lot, and Gordon is feeling like Brazilian now, speaking Portuguese all over
Thanks to her, today Buzios is famous internationally
This is Brigitte Bardot, French actress who came here in the 60's
She fell in love with all this
And introduced Buzios to the world
Today this ocean front street here is called 'Orla Bardot'
As a homage to her
[Vendor] Horse's freezies, ice cold freezies
[Vendor] The best freezies in Buzios
This is creative
There's a turtle underwater there
Where is she?
This is Praia da Armação
or Armação Beach
It's not a beach that you come to enjoy the ocean
But this is where boat tours depart
If the original pier is not working
That one over there close to 'Ruas das Pedras'
There's also this additional pier here
All boat tours depart around 11 AM, 11:15 or 11:30
And also around 1:15 or 1:30
[Vendor] That boat over there departs at 1:30 PM
[Renata] That's at 1:30 PM, great
[Vendor] If you want to film it, go ahead
[Renata] Is that yours?
[Vendor] I work with that one too
[Renata] In that case I will film it!
If you don't want to go in those big boats full of tourists
Do you see all these here?
These are owned by individuals, fisherman
You can just come here and go for a tour with them
This is what my parents used to do
We used to come here as kids, go for tours in these small boats
And hear lots of fisherman stories
And how do you discover all this?
How do you find these people?
Just come here for a stroll, walk along here
A lot of people are going to stop you, offer their services
And then you just choose
From 'Praia da Armação', you can easily walk to the next beaches, they will be in the next vlog
[Gordon] How red are my cheeks?
You're very red!
Something interesting about Buzios
and this area here that foreigners not always realize
The times here are totally different
Like, the time that you normally wake up, have lunch
Everything changes here
This is because people stay at the beach until very late
Until the end of afternoon or sometimes until sunset
So by the time you go back to the hotel
By the time you get changed
You have some rest, you eat something
And then you come out at night, especially if you are many people
You know, it might be a little late
So as soon as it gets dark you already see here at Rua das Pedras a lot of people
Especially families, young families with young kids
But if you want to enjoy the nightlife
Only after midnight
And it goes on until early morning
Until daylight the next day
Not for us, right Gordon? We passed that age
Do you work here?
[Vendor] Yes
Are stores open until what time?
[Vendor] This one until midnight, but over there ahead they close at 10:30, 11 PM
[Vendor] Actually the girls over there are shutting down at 11 PM
That's great, thank you
What's really cool about it
is that shops are open until very late
Some of them start shutting down at 11 PM
But most are open until midnight
Look at Gordon in a great conversation
[Gordon and Renata] Gordon
[Gordon] Renata
[Renata] Nice to meet you! All good? [New friend] Nice to meet you
He was telling Gordon that Argentinians represent 70% of the tourists here in Buzios
I was not crazy. See? I was right
I know where we're going
Texas barbecue!
Here they are famous for the crepes
So, this is what you gotta have
I swear I'm not speeding up these images, this is his real rhythm
Did you realize this vlog is missing something very important?
Beaches, right?
No worries, in the next vlog I'm showing you in details
all the best beaches here in Buzios
[Gordon] Excuse me! That's a worm coming up
Now that I turned on the camera
Today you're inspired
[Gordon] I'm tired... and sick
Tired and sick, but not sick and tired
You know, you could put me on camera and I say that
Yes, I'm tired and sick, but I'm not sick and tired
Not of you, no
You're inspired!
