ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS. Join us on this crazy adventure, and hopefully, you'll be inspired to start your own unique journey! Go peregrinate!
We're in the most beautiful place in the world, I feel.
What's up, P Nation?
Today's a very exciting day because we're going island hopping.
We're going island hopping in Siargao!
But first, we've got to take our bike, get to the pier, get on the boat, and then we'll
be on our way.
Woo!
We made it to our friend's house, and this sun is unforgiving.
It's about to be a very interesting day.
I hope I don't get burnt, it is hot.
Following his brother to the boat.
Which one is it?
We have our own boat, it only costs $22, it's the brother of our friend's boat, and we have
our own private guide.
I'm so excited.
Cool!
First stop of the day.
So we made it to our first stop of the day, it's the...
They call it sanctuary, which I'm assuming because it's good with fish and corals and
stuff, and they said it's a really good spot to go snorkeling.
So we are here on this house in the middle of the water, on a sandbar, it's going to
be amazing.
I cannot wait to get into the water.
We have the most sunscreen on I think we've ever had in our... for this day.
The sun is out.
Go to stop number one, and stop number two I think is Naked Island, see how naked you
actually can get.
Ooh!
Skill!
And we made it to Naked Island!
Naked Island!
The sand is absolutely beautiful, oh my gosh, I feel like I am literally in a paradise.
The sand is the softest, most cushioniest sand I think I've ever like, stepped on.
It is absolutely beautiful.
Whoa.
This goes so far out, the sandbar just keeps going underwater, like it doesn't look like
it's that far.
We're good.
We're like...
15, 30 meters?
Yeah!
From the shore.
There was a storm right behind us, but it looks like it kind of drifted off, and that
is the next island we're going to, so hopefully it's not going there.
Naked Island has been amazing, the water is so blue, the water is so shallow, this island
is so cool, it's so weird that there's nothing on it, but like, it makes such a beautiful
landscape that it's so much fun to come here.
I do not want to leave, but the sun is telling us otherwise, we've been on lots of sunscreen,
but we're getting really burnt, so that's the only reason we're leaving White Beach,
because this is so nice on this naked beach.
Pale people problems for sure.
So we have made it to our third island, as you can see, we kind of have it to ourselves.
There's apparently a restaurant on this island, we're supposed to get some Filipino food.
Yes, or grilled fish.
This island is called Daku Island, and it translates to Big Island, because it's the
biggest island we're going to.
It's absolutely amazing here, they have grass.
I'm confused.
I love, love, love all these coconut trees, it just makes everything so much bigger and
more dramatic, and most of the islands I've been to in my life don't actually have this
many coconut trees, they're just planted ones.
Is squid good?
Yeah.
That's okay, that's good, that's good.
That's a lot.
Garlic butter.
Garlic butter, yes.
Thank you.
So we got a snapper, and they grilled it.
Super salty.
So good.
Yum.
Oh my god.
So fresh, it's like cooked to perfection too.
Okay, so we're trying some of the sauce.
Oh my gosh.
So much tang, it tastes like there is some liquor in there.
What?
Some really pungent green onions that have been cooked in with it.
It's like a soy sauce with a bite to it.
We did it, but I had to cover up his eyes, because I couldn't have him looking at me.
So every year we go to Florida with Zach's family, and every single year we do a big
shrimp feast.
So this is in honor of their shrimp feast in Destin, Florida.
It's happening in a week.
Here's to you.
So lunch was amazing, and now we are going to, what's the next island?
I forget what it's called, but it's like another really, really tiny one.
It's just right over there, you can barely see it from here, but I can say that was like
the best fish lunch I've ever had in my life.
Just look at this.
This is exactly what we wanted when we came to the Philippines, and I'm just so happy
that we found it.
Paradise.
I can see it.
Oh.
So this is crazy.
We are being dropped off, and we're going to swim to this island.
Behind it is the Pacific Ocean, and the only thing that's separating us from it is the
ocean.
I don't think I've ever had so much fish in my life.
I don't think I've ever felt like a fish so much.
In all honesty, this is so beautiful, but the journey of how we got here, we went to
get ice cream, and we met this nice woman, and she invited us into her home because it
was raining, and then we got to talking, and she was like, oh, my brother-in-law, he has
a boat, and he takes people out way less expensive than other people do.
We were like, okay, and so now we're friends with her on Facebook, and he took us just
to these beautiful places, and he's been so nice, and his name is David, and it's just
amazing.
We're in the most beautiful place in the world, I feel.
So we've almost made it all the way to the island, but now I'm going to take you under
the sea.
We made it.
That was a swim.
We don't recommend this to anyone, but we're excited.
And I know we keep talking about getting burnt, but I just want you guys to realize I have
reapplied sunscreen to my face five times today, and I am still burnt.
So, I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions, or maybe, you know, the Alice suggestions, tell me in the comment section
below, because I can't prevent it.
Five times isn't enough.
I'm only been outside for five hours.
I don't know what to do.
You did not expect this.
Oh my god.
That's like the mango-iest flavor mango shake that we've ever had.
And it's so fancy.
Look at it.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, it has mango on top too.
So we're just drinking this mango shake, and this view is amazing.
This day could not have gotten any better.
The weather has cooperated amazingly.
There was supposed to be rain, but it did not rain.
I think we might get another shake.
Really?
Here's what we did today.
We came from General Luna all the way to that little hut over there.
I don't know if you can see it.
And then right past that is Naked Beach, and that's this little sandbar right over there.
And then we went to this island.
Oh, I forgot what it's called.
And now we're here.
And there's our boat.
We're having to walk back because the tide is so low.
Yeah, it was kind of crazy.
But today was crazy from the first place we went.
We got to snorkel, and then Naked Island.
Actually, not being naked.
I was glad it wasn't naked.
It was beautiful and amazing.
And then we went over to the big island and had the best fish lunch.
Real fish, yeah.
It was so cool.
And then the last stop I think was just perfect.
We got ourselves a mango shake, cooled down, relaxed.
Got to go to the Pacific Ocean one last time.
One last time, and then come home.
Now we're off to island number two, Naked Island.
