  • Aj, are you ready for your clue?

  • Aj: Give me that clue!

  • Oh, I'm always ready for some amazing views.

  • Caroline: Great, but first, you can't see anything.

  • 'Cause you're going in the blindfold.

  • Aj: All right.

  • So, when I think of amazing views,

  • I think of beautiful beaches, beautiful buildings,

  • beautiful people.

  • So maybe we're looking in a mirror?

  • [both laughing]

  • Caroline: Good one.

  • The views in Naples are unlike anywhere else in the world.

  • And these water bikes are a fun, active way

  • to explore the breathtaking coastline.

  • Here, perfect. Aj: All right.

  • And your head is right there, great.

  • OK, Aj, take your blindfold off.

  • Aj: All right. Caroline: Because we are

  • biking through the water on these hydro bikes!

  • Aj: Oh, no way, this is so tight!

  • So, how do I get on this thing?

  • Instructor: Get on your bike.

  • [Aj laughs] Caroline: Oh, wow!

  • OK, whoo!

  • Can I dip my feet in the water?

  • OK, I'm going, bye! [Aj laughs]

  • Oh, my God, all the fishies!

  • Do you see them? They're so cute!

  • They're like, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi,

  • mi, mi, mi, mi, mi. Aj: It's a school of fish.

  • Oh, I can feel the waves coming in.

  • Caroline: I think we're doing pretty well,

  • but I wanna race, I wanna see if I can go faster

  • on the bike than you.

  • Aj: Oh, you know I love winning.

  • Caroline: You're about to compete with someone

  • who takes cycling every week.

  • Are you sure you can handle it?

  • Aj: Oh, I can handle it, Caroline.

  • Caroline: OK, Aj, this is

  • your five stars on the line, are you sure?

  • Aj: Oh, I will risk it all.

  • Caroline: OK, Aj, three, two, one, go!

  • [Aj laughs]

  • Whoo! Aj: All right,

  • I'm coming for you Caroline!

  • Caroline: Oh, no, no, I'm so much ahead! [laughs]

  • Aj: Oh, no, I'm coming up. Caroline: Whoo!

  • Aj: Why are you so good at this?

  • Caroline: Yes, that's what I thought, Aj.

  • Both Oh!

  • Caroline: Whoo-hoo-hoo! [Aj laughs]

  • Aj: Ah!

  • Caroline: There goes your star!

  • Aj: No, my five stars!

  • Caroline: I won.

  • I finally beat Aj. Aj: You earned it.

  • Caroline: I did it.

  • Aj: You paddled very hard.

  • Caroline: But you did very well.

  • Aj: That was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that race.

  • Wow, I cannot believe this view!

  • Caroline: What a way to enjoy this nice little town.

  • Aj: Caroline, that was so much fun!

  • Caroline: I know, I'm so glad you had a good time.

  • Aj: Oh, those bikes were so relaxing,

  • and the views were amazing.

  • Caroline: So good. Aj: But it's your turn.

  • Are you ready for your clue? Caroline: My clue!

  • OK.

  • I think I know what this is!

  • Oh, I'm sure you think you know, but you don't.

  • Caroline: We are gonna be making pizza today

  • because Naples is so famous for pizza.

  • Aj: If there's one thing Italy's known for, it's food.

  • Mozzarella was invented here in the 12th century,

  • and we're gonna learn how to make it the traditional way.

  • Caroline: So many noises. Aj: And you can step

  • right here.

  • Just take a bite of this.

  • Caroline: What is it? Aj: Just a small bite.

  • Producer: Relax!

  • Aj: Excellent, all right, now this way,

  • you can take your blindfold off

  • 'cause we're gonna learn how to make a mozzarella.

  • Caroline: Oh, my God! That's huge!

  • Aj: We're about to get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look

  • at how La Fattoria makes their famous zizzona cheese.

  • Aj: So, first they're gonna show us

  • how to braid it. Caroline: OK.

  • And then we're gonna give it a try.

  • Caroline: We get to do that?

  • Aj: We get to get hands-on.

  • Caroline: Yes! Ooh!

  • Ooh, it's hot! Ha, ha, ha! It's hot.

  • Aj: Make it a big, long... Caroline: Thing,

  • and then you fold like a pretzel.

  • Oh, it's my baby cheese. [Aj laughs]

  • It's hot, whoo, I am born to make mozzarella cheese.

  • Wow.

  • OK it's a pretzel, and then...

  • Instructor: A pretzel, OK, then go in.

  • Caroline: In. Oh, perfect, I got it, I got it.

  • Whoo! [Aj laughs]

  • Perfetto! Bellissimo! Here, let me show you.

  • You can hold my, what did you do?

  • Aj: I did his steps up until

  • I couldn't follow any more. Caroline: No you didn't,

  • this is not his steps.

  • This is Aj's.

  • We're gonna bring this one over here,

  • and then you're gonna twist this guy.

  • Aj: I did it! [laughs] Caroline: Whoo, Aj!

  • Yay! Aj: I did it!

  • Caroline: Oh, my God, I can't wait,

  • when do we get to eat it?

  • Aj: Right now.

  • Caroline: Let's go. Oh, I'm so hungry.

  • Yes, these are the ones we folded.

  • Aj: Yeah, because here's your beautiful braid.

  • Caroline: Of course.

  • Aj: And here's my not-so-beautiful braid.

  • Caroline: Yes. Ooh, yes, OK.

  • Aj: All right, I think I got a little globby glob.

  • Oho! Caroline: Oh, my God.

  • Aj: That is good.

  • Caroline: This is like an explosion. This is so good.

  • I've had mozzarella cheese my whole life,

  • but nothing compares to this.

  • This cheese was so good, I can't wait

  • to take some back to the hotel.

  • Cashier: Grazie.

  • Caroline: Yay! Aj: Grazie. Bye.

  • Naples has been such a great time.

  • There's so much to do here, and there's so much to eat.

  • Caroline, I need to know my rating.

  • Caroline: So, you were so relaxed on the water bikes,

  • and I think you really took the time

  • to really take in those views.

  • But if you remember correctly,

  • you put your stars on the line

  • when we did our little race, and I won,

  • and for that I'm gonna have to give you a four out of five.

  • Aj: I expected that.

  • You did do really well on those bikes.

  • Caroline, as you know, you haven't done too well

  • with the food dares.

  • Your omelet was a little bit of a flop,

  • but you braided the mozzarella perfectly.

  • And you got it on your first try,

  • so for that I gotta give you five out of five stars.

  • Caroline: Whoo, that is right, yes!

  • Aj, I had such a blast traveling with you,

  • and you nailed all of your dares, so this is my treat.

  • Aj: Oh, thanks!

  • Caroline: And I'm about to go to Southern France

  • with my friend Nico!

  • Aj: Well, I think I set the bar pretty high,

  • so I'm curious to see if Nico can top it.

  • Caroline: Well, I'm excited for my next adventure.

  • Aj: Cheers! Caroline: Cheers!
