Translation of hearty in German

At the end of October my family will be taking a short vacation to Biron Bay north of Sidney. My wife wants to visit the coast. There are many good restaurants near Brion Bay with fresh seafood.
Our bus was completely full and we were the only Europeans on our tour. There were also Americans and people from South Korea. The driver took us to a place called Tam Coc. He drove like an idiot.
We stood there in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere not exactly knowing what to do next and where we arrived. We had to look for a place to sleep. The village did not have any paved streets.
