Wir erkunden Französisch Guayana -Blue Horizon-

Welcome to French Guiana the country with the largest national park in France and the entire European Union the Amazon Park We are in a country that is more than 90% covered by rainforest and we They are infinitely excited about everything we experience here in this breathtaking nature We are now going ashore for the first time and it is also practically the first time that we have done so We can drive ashore with a dinghy motor otherwise we are always paddling ashore The harbor in Degrad-de-Carnay is small and filled with fishing boats or old sailboats ey have already been at home here in French Guiana for a while What the hell that's a messie boat We're already wild on the way but something like that and to the left double disaster After ten days at sea we step off our boat for the first time to feel solid ground under our feet We quickly make acquaintances find our way around well and immediately take care of renting a car to explore the area We have now arrived in Cayenne We don't know how big the city is or if it's the only city so let's talk about it now We are now looking around a bit here Cayenne The capital and at the same time the largest city of the French overseas department of French Guiana She is one of the five largest cities of French Guiana with just 65 500 residents All of them are located near the coast Here there is definitely a lot going on many cars many small shops and were told about the market We are recommended to go eat soup there for whatever reason We are excited let's watch it here and have some soup We are now in one of these market halls Smells really market-like and now sitting here at such a small table and eating the soup Just like I saw it here yesterday they take the salad roll it up in that stuff and then dip it into this sauce here Maybe a little bit That's really hot Ah extremely delicious It tastes really fresh and there are such chili peppers right here to go with it You just need to put one in there for a moment and then it's already perfectly spicy I mean it's a bit sharp but somehow a cool idea with the salad That makes everything a bit crunchier You can eat a bowl of Asian soup in many corners of French Guiana In 1977 500 refugees from Laos settled in Kakao They are located in a town in French Guiana They brought traditional dishes and local vegetable production with them Every week 60 tons of fruits and vegetables from Kakao are sold at the weekly market in Cayenne Yes the trip was definitely worth it The market is definitely worth seeing There are many small things and the soup was really delicious I'm not really a soup person but with ravioli noodles and some vegetables in it that's already a good thing I think I need to go there again There is celery everywhere here and I make celery cutlets from it We quickly realized that the tuber was not celery and found out that it is called taro root You should handle the fruit with gloves and not eat it raw which we naturally did wrong right away because of our ignorance A very unpleasant experience but we could still enjoy them once they were cooked Today is the next day We were at the supermarket and already bought some things and that was a Carrefour and just a French supermarket Everything that comes here is brought by this ship in front from Europe That means it has everything that wasn't available in Brazil And now we're going to take a real break We cleaned everything on the aft deck back there with seat covers and are setting everything up Eat just about everything we didn't have in Brazil For example also baguettes Baguettes are so good and we just didn't have them Bread in Brazil is simply soft and sweet just like almost everywhere in the world And there's also dark bread like pumpernickel with nuts in it and so on Really cool Then we visit the rainforest of French Guiana for the first time After ten days of sailing we look forward to a completely different soundscape Instead of the fluttering of our sails and the waves crashing against the hull We are about to encounter completely new and unfamiliar sounds animals we do not know and an atmosphere that differs in every way from that on the ocean We are currently running into the rainforest here It is so humid and moist but simply incredible and exciting that we are allowed to pass through here I haven't seen that for a long time That's really got the Indiana Jones vibe This is really wild here just like you imagine it in the rainforest I'll note it as a tropical house in a German zoo In such a really high-quality zoo but even cooler Everything here is natural and it's so huge And so a tree will simply stick out completely from the roof So unbelievable There was just this butterfly such an exotic one I can never believe it and I find stuff like that cool That was definitely a bucket list goal of mine to be in such a rainforest once And I hope I will be there many more times And now I'm just enjoying these first impressions I've ever gathered from a place like this in my life We have already entered their territory No those are birds We have infinite space to explore We live our adventures seeming as free as ever before in our lives We get to experience so many special places learn about cultures and make acquaintances Yet it would not be life if were to stroll along long sandy beaches and through dense green rainforests without any problems Behind all the new impressions and all the freedoms this journey offers there are also difficult times Times when despite all the space we feel we have too little room for ourselves Times when we can't cope Times when everything runs differently than planned That's it again up to here with the video We hope you liked the video If you haven't subscribed to the channel yet you can do so now We have something important to announce You know everything is always a bit delayed on YouTube Instagram is always up to date as we have already announced We are only two left Jonas has flown home and yes a lot will change for us It's not always easy living in such a small space with four people and it hasn't been working well for the past few weeks Jonas flew home and Helena stayed a few more days before also deciding to fly home Now it's just the two of us here We need to reorganize a bit plan and see how things go for us next It's a lot all at once for two people A lot to do let's see if we can manage it properly Jonas will definitely speak about it again and we will release a proper video on it once more We just wanted to inform you so that you know and yes see you next time Exactly goodbye
