I give you El Nido.
You will see more of it today.
We're doing Tour A, which we did last year as well, but it's just so stunning.
We're gonna do it again.
This is the exact reason you put up with El Nido's horrible accommodations.
I'm gonna say it quietly.
Yep.
Texting and walking, it's a hazard.
Fun fun fun!
We've just started tour A. What do you think, Laura?
How is it looking today?
So the weather forecast said for the next seven days it's nothing but clouds storm thunder lightning, tornadoes.
There's no tornadoes but like just terrible weather.
But luckily we woke up this morning and we jumped on the opportunity to do the island tour because it's holding up really nicely.
Alright, this is our first stop.
What's this one called?
The Seven Command Beach?
Sorry?
What's the beach called?
Seven Command Beach.
Alright guys, it is our first time ever flying the wild turkey.
Oh, is that its name?
Yeah, it's the wild turkey.
Let's get her in the skies and hopefully she works, because we're in El Nido and there's no replacements over here.
Ooh, he sounds different.
He makes a different noise.
His thoughts on the wild.
He's wild.
We've successfully connected him.
Let's get him into the atmosphere.
Uh oh, why is it doing that?
First time it needs this.
I can't do it now.
So here we are, enjoying the most beautiful place in the world and I can't take my drone off.
It needs a system update and of course, good luck updating when you're in the middle of nowhere.
It's not possible to update the firmware and it won't.
Let me take off without having my system updated.
How do we keep optimistic in difficult times, Laura?
We sing the fun song.
Or we dance, yeah.
Moving forward, nothing but smiles.
We're going to go for a swim now.
We just got some snorkels, and let's check out the highlights of Tour A. This is Small Lagoon.
We're just going to swim through there, and you'll see it in a sec.
Alright, Laura.
Y'all ready for this?
After an amazing little swim through a small lagoon, Masterchef showed up, got a giant fish.
Laura's gonna love that.
Look, you got your goggle marks.
Hello.
Oh my gosh.
Anyways, this is an ice cream boat.
It's solar powered.
Looking out for the environment.
Oh, there it is!
Ice cream for ice cream.
See you later.
We're going back out into the ocean, and so I'm going to use that chance to try to get the software working on my drone.
Fingers are so crossed.
How's your day going?
It's been good.
I just got ice cream.
I love ice cream.
Goodbye small lagoon.
Just one year ago.
Taking a dip in that water.
A couple pounds lighter but just as happy.
I'm talking about me.
One last upgrade update of the system.
Laura we've arrived.
Alright guys, so I'm gonna swim to shore here, but I don't have any waterproof casing, so I'll have to carry this above my head.
This here is Secret Lagoon.
Well, this isn't Secret Lagoon.
That is Secret Lagoon.
Everyone's waiting in line to go into the lagoon.
It's not worth the line.
The secret definitely got out.
It almost gives the illusion that you're the only one here.
And that illusion is gone.
I hate to be negative, but it's so challenging for me.
Laura and I were so lucky to have seen El Nido before a lot has changed.
For example, this whole area last time we were here was to ourselves.
It made the experience a lot more authentic feeling and Today I've been struggling with the drone.
Nonetheless, El Nido is just one of the most beautiful places.
And that's why it's only going to get busier and busier every year.
So Laura and I, again, just fortunate to have seen it before it became so touristy.
You just have to go off of rural islands and dangerous areas to find good things for you guys.
We tried to do this last year.
Christian thought it was a cool shot.
I was like, Christian, this doesn't look cool.
Laura, how's my booty queen doing?
All right, Laura, lead us.
Jump off the front.
Laura, it'd be cooler if you were jumping off the front.
Come on.
Yeah, we're ready.
Beams fly by Driving 40,000 miles There's nowhere else I want I updated the entire system.
I redownloaded the app off the world's worst Wi-Fi internet, but it works now and we're back in the skies.
This is Big Lagoon.
Holy.
Oh yeah, it looks like Mary.
Oh, very cool.
See you, Laura.
We started the day off on a bit of a rougher note.
We turned things around and the end of our trip was amazing.
We had the last few destinations pretty much to ourselves.
I was able to get some amazing shots and that one spot where i was like diving around with laura with a gopro.
That's like my favorite thing to do is just find crystal clear water and just like swim around.
So for me, We ended up on a super positive note.
What do you think, Laura?
Yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't listening, but yeah.
Dive, dive, dive.
I was reading.
Dive, dive, dive.
Dive, dive, dive.
We will win.
Don't mind me.
Just on my private balcony.
Shared with multiple other units.
Let me show you the crib.
We got that LCD plasma screen.
It's about a 22 inch.
We got that night one night.
We got that blue pillow.
Double bed couple of a view of the ocean.
What up, we got that table so you can entertain guests.
What's in here?
Yeah, the light doesn't even work in here.
What a perfect for when you want to shower in the dark.
There's also mosquitoes.
I beat her in rock paper scissors so she has to go get the Wi-Fi password.
So we've been back for about an hour and a half, maybe an hour.
I've done a bit of editing, almost got a vlog ready to post.
Now the only thing that'll stop me is Wi-Fi.
He's trying to get a fish.
What's he looking for?
He's having a shower.
This is the view here.
That's really nice.
I should time-lapse this.
That's the end of the time-lapse.
Look at that sky.
Bye, Laura.
I'm coming.
That's it.
I'll tell the friends that you say hi.
Just left laura at the hotel room and i'm meeting up with a few friends we met on the boat today while doing the tour.
A gonna get some pizza, some beers and see where the night takes us.
Wow, it is so beautiful, the pizza place.
Yeah, Welcome to the vlog.
Jackson and Heidi.
They're from Canada so they're from like inland Vancouver and they're here all the way in El Nido.
Hello guys!
And tomorrow hopefully, they'll be joining us in Nakpan, which is my favorite beach I've ever seen, so let's hope it's still the same as when we were here last year.
Why are you so small?
Why are you so small?
Why are you so big?
So Heidi and Jackson are also from British Columbia which is the province Laura and I live in.
We've been in contact kind of on and off over the past few months because they're also traveling through Southeast Asia.
They've been around Southeast Asia for the past five months and they actually have a really cool Instagram feed, so I'll link that down below if you guys want to take a look at their photos.
Nope.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
This is the end of the vlog for the day.
Let's get up early tomorrow morning and let's get lost again tomorrow together.
Tomorrow, goodnight.
For take the call and break your spell.
I'll find a strength in my heart.
Savannah, I'm coming home.
Savannah, we'll never be alone.
Savannah, the beauty of the world.
