DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE in SIARGAO Philippines | Travel Vlog

For the past week we have been exploring the amazing island of Siargao, Philippines. We have loved exploring the island on two wheels and of course playing in the sand. We got off the beaten path to experience something new and have fallen in love with the local food. We even learned to snorkel and were introduced to the world under the water. But above all we learned to be brave and to make new friends wherever we go. And it is these moments that have been the most special to us. Today we face a new adventure, running out of money in Siargao. Well sometimes you have to roll with the punches. Our plan today was to do an island tour. We had it all planned out. We got up kind of early and we're going to go to an island that should have been all to ourselves before the rest of the tourists got there. But the ATM is offline and we are out of cash. So we have to save our cash for lunch today because that's about all we have is enough to eat the rest of the day. And then hopefully the ATM will get back online because as far as I can tell it's the only ATM in this area. So we're gonna go drive to a smaller beach and hang out there for the day and see what happens. So not as nice as the island we had planned but at least we have a little private beach here. We discovered this place just by driving around which has been our favorite thing to do is just to drive around and explore. But the girls are happy because they have a little private beach to themselves and they're having fun. Chloe are you having fun? Me and daddy went underwater and we saw a jellyfish. We were really close to him. It's really cool to see all the sea creatures. I swam by myself for the first time. That was your first time swimming? Without floaties. Oh my goodness. I didn't know that was your first time. It's my first time snorkeling too. I got to see a jellyfish on my first time snorkeling. I want to snorkel in too. There's lots of little teeny crabs around here that keep crawling on me and biting me. Where'd you get bit? I got bit on my arm. I was sitting out in the ocean sitting in the water with Chloe and I felt this weird bite on my arm and I looked down and it was this little teeny crab. He must have got washed onto my arm from the waves and then did not want to be there. Did you know that daddy's afraid of jellyfish? Well you weren't anymore. Yeah I was trying to be brave. Like me. Yeah. I was a little scared but then I tried it. First that I was scared and then I was brave and then I tried it and it was fun. Yeah buddy I'm proud of you. Nature is the best playground. So that was super fun and now we're gonna go try to find some lunch. One of the problems with Chargau is poor internet connectivity and I'm thinking that's why the ATM is down because they lose connection frequently but we have about $12 left to our name so that should last us lunch and dinner hopefully and then hopefully the ATM will start working again. One of the reasons the food is so good here is because it's all so fresh. So while we were there we actually saw some fishermen bring by their catch. They had some prawns and some shrimp and they would sell it directly to the restaurant and that's why the food is so good here. But now I think we're gonna go off and find some coconut bread. Grab some coconut bread for dessert. We're still watching our budget. We've got like eight dollars eight or nine dollars left but I think we could spare some money for the coconut bread. It's only 10 cents per roll for the coconut bread so we're gonna go grab some of that for dessert. So we had our coconut rolls and now we need to go check the ATM to see if we can get some more money. What? We want tummy. You couldn't ask them to get them warm. Oh. They're a little too warm to eat right now and Chloe wanted me to ask them not to have them so warm next time. They're fresh that's why they're so warm. ATM is still offline but that's okay we can make another day with eight bucks. Believe it or not it's actually the only ATM on this half of the island. It's about about half an hour 40 minute ride to the next closest ATM so if we get desperate hopefully another ATM will connect but hopefully it'll turn on by tomorrow. This ice cream guy is set up right outside of the school that school is letting out and he is cashing it in. Kids are just flowing through as fast as possible. I look messy. What'd you say? I look messy. You look messy. ATM is still down I think I might have a good half an hour drive ahead of me to get to an ATM but I'll probably do that later tonight. We've decided to make the long drive together we have to get some money for tomorrow we're planning on doing an island trip and we're completely out of cash we got like five dollars left. We spent two dollars in gas it's a dollar per liter so now we're down to three dollars so hopefully we can find an ATM. A little sleepy. As usual. Always. Are you sleeping? This place is just beautiful. So it's not that bad of a drive it's actually beautiful out it's just the fact that with four of us on here is rather uncomfortable so taking a minute about three quarters of the way there just to kind of let the blood flow again because once we're all on here you can't really move there's no way to adjust and get more comfortable so we can't go very far without having to stop. All right so we made it all the way to Dapa it's about a half an hour drive here was that fun? Yeah and we found an ATM so we got some money so it's all good. And Chloe is still sleeping. Alexa has been our little navigator anytime I need direction she holds the phone and then I can drive and have both hands on the wheel. So we came back to this restaurant because it was so delicious the food was amazing and we were greeted by these kids that just kept waving at us and they were just absolutely adorable so Alexa and Chloe went over and met them and made some new friends so it was pretty awesome. People are always so friendly here as we drive by kids always yell and say hey how are you and wave as we drive by and everyone is so friendly and it's awesome. And this food is the best chicken. Oh my goodness it's so good. It's so good. She's just chewing on the bones. Somehow our GoPro battery died today even though it was definitely full when I left um so I can't get any driving shots and I'm really bummed because the path we're taking today is absolutely beautiful it just winds and turns and goes through this palm tree forest and unfortunately we don't have any footage of it. What do you think? Cool. Cool.
