- We've been travelling for how many long hours?
- 20 - [Robyn] 24
- 4 hours.
24 hours, 20.
(light calming music)
- Hi everybody, 23rd of May, 2018.
We are leaving Gili T.
We're off for an adventure to a very remote island,
off the grid called Kri Island, in Raja Ampat.
Which is West Papua and we're gonna get,
how many modes of transport?
We're gonna get a horse right now,
then we're getting a ferry,
and then we're getting a bus down to Denpasar.
Then we're getting a flight, two flights.
And then two ferries.
Eventually to get to where we're staying in Kri Island.
So, let's do this, right now.
The adventure to the off the grid island is about to begin.
(upbeat happy music)
- Three minutes past 10.
Horse and carriage, Gili T.
Little island here.
We're leaving to catch a ferry.
That's the first part of this amazing journey
to be off the grid, Blue Lagoon style.
- Blue Lagoon baby, Blue Lagoon.
- A crazy couple like us on a remote island so,
I'm super pumped.
- Yeah.
- Are you pumped, I'm pumped.
- I'm excited.
- I can't wait, six days, six days off the grid.
Like completely off the grid.
Right now, I'm so captivated by how blue
her eyes are coloured right now.
Look how blue that is.
I'll look back on this in 47.5 years from now going,
this is the reason why I'm so attracted to you.
One of the many reasons.
The blue eyes, that beautiful smile.
Look at that.
She's like, all right, that's enough, that's enough.
(playful upbeat music)
All right, we're buying coffee,
we're buying coffee for the remote island, little sachets.
Right there, we're stacking up, we're stacking up.
On the coffee, right there.
Here, do you wanna use that?
Just, yeah, I'll pay.
- I've got, I've got, if we need it.
- Right.
- It's my fate, sweat.
- All right, ready?
All right, we're at the terminal now,
we're about to leave Gili T.
Goodbye Gili T on a ferry.
- It's been awesome.
- Yeah, it's an amazing sunny day today.
And we'll board this boat.
How many hours is the boat?
An hour and 40 minutes.
- [Robyn] Yeah.
- Back to the port.
And then I'll throw that map up on the screen
'cause I don't remember the name of the port.
And then we're gonna get a very long bus ride
back to Denpasar Airport, watch the space.
All right, about to jump on our boat,
Gili Gili, back to the mainland.
Leaving Gili T, on this amazing day.
(upbeat happy music)
We're on the boat, we're on the boat leaving Gili T.
How do you feel?
- I'm ready for the next part of our adventure.
- Ready for the next chapter.
(upbeat happy music)
- [Boat Attendant] Put the zipper up
and tie the rope around.
In case of an emergency while in the water,
please blow the whistle to get any assistance from our crew.
(whistling)
All right, we're going upstairs right now.
We're gonna get wet.
It is just the best up here, at the top of the boat,
getting absolutely saturated.
(splashing)
(upbeat happy music)
Getting off the boat now.
About to jump on a bus to go from Sadongbai,
what's this place called?
- [Man] This one? - Yeah.
- [Man] Padangbai. - Padangbai.
- And where are you going?
- Airport.
- Airport, so take this and then (mumbling).
- Right, thank you.
Off to the airport now.
But we'll probably stop somewhere else
on the way to the airport.
- [Man] What time is your flight?
- 8:30 tonight.
For our journey to off the grid,
we're off to Kri Island man.
- Yeah.
- We're off to Raja Ampat.
- Raja Ampat.
- Yeah, we're going to Raja Ampat, so.
- Next time, Raja Ampat.
- Raja Ampat.
All right, the road trip begins.
It's important to realise that we're going
off the grid, onto an island, that has no flushing toilet.
- [Robyn] How did we not even think about that as?
- BYO, BYO toilet paper.
I don't know.
I just assumed that was already included.
Like, we're so used to western lifestyle though.
- Yeah.
- Running water, hot showers,
toilet paper, toilet that flushes.
Yeah, bring your own toilet paper.
(upbeat music)
4:30 in the afternoon, 23rd of May,
at Bali Airport.
Just finally figured out this whole
living off the grid thing for six days.
But, essentially we're flying out of Bali,
into Jakarta, and then to Sorong.
I'll throw this up on the screen as a map,
you can see this.
So, from Bali, to Jakarta, to Sorong,
taxi to a ferry port in Sorong, ferry from Sorong
to Waisai, another island.
Then we get picked up by another boat,
by a guy named Lucky.
From Waisai to Kri Island, we stay there for six days.
So, that's it in a nutshell.
So, this is gonna be fun.
Watch this space.
Extra vegetables, thank you.
I'll pay soon, yeah.
Six p.m., at the airport, Denpasar.
Roxy shows up, Roxy, Roxy.
New hat.
- Do you like it?
- [Brad] Yes.
- I like it.
- [Brad] It suits you.
- Does it?
- [Brad] Yeah, what happened to the straw hat?
- We left it in the taxi.
It's now somewhere in Bali.
- [Brad] Maybe the taxi driver's wearing it now.
- He probably is, he probably is,
that's a cool frickin' hat.
- Yeah, so, if you see a taxi driver
getting around Denpasar with a straw hat
then yeah, this is the original owner right here.
This girl, this girl, this girl is a maniac.
(horse neighing)
10 outta 10.
(neighing)
- Yeah, I mean it's like.
- That's better than last time.
- Yeah, I mean seriously.
- Ready, ready, ready, again, ready?
- You practised.
(horse neighing)
(laughing)
We got a lot of travel, we got like two planes,
two boats, we're gonna be cranking all night.
So, to get to this private island.
- He's being really annoying.
We're getting a Snickers bar for the flight.
This is 8:30 at night, boarding the Batik Air flight
from Denpasar to Jakarta's, our first leg.
Oh, she wins.
(upbeat music)
All right, ice tea, Jakarta Airport.
Jakarta, Jakarta.
Cheers.
Can't go wrong with (foreign language)
- [Robyn] Ready?
That's why I asked you.
- You're right though.
(upbeat music)
Quarter past midnight.
We're about to board our flight to Sorong, Indonesia.
Getting tired now.
In Jakarta.
Yeah, so we get into Sorong at 7:15 in the morning.
So, it's a 16 hour flight, I think.
(laughing)
- Yes.
- [Brad] Do you wanna explain the story?
- I've lost the plot.
- [Brad] This girl is crazy.
- I'm overtired.
- She's crazy.
Back on a bus.
How many modes of transport we would've taken
to get to this private island.
(upbeat music)
Can I have my arm back please?
Can I have my,
can I have my arm back?
She's a crazy, look at her.
Thank you.
(foreign language)
(upbeat music)
It is 6:50 in the morning, we're in Sorong.
I'll throw that up on the screen.
And, just landed.
And, tired.
Sorry about this, just, yeah,
very tired, and stomach issues,
a lot of stomach issues on the flight.
So, a lot of bathroom action.
All right, thank you.
All right, so, it's just past 7:00 in the morning,
we're in the back of a taxi.
We're in the village or town of Sorong, in Indonesia.
And, feeling really tired, about three hours sleep or so.
Stomach issues.
Probably Bali belly, or Sorong belly, or.
So, I'm not feeling, my stomach is not right.
Maybe it was, maybe it was the spoonful of
(foreign language) that I had at Jakarta airport.
(relaxing music)
All right, so we just bought our tickets
for Waisai, 100,000 each.
How are you feeling?
Tired?
- I'm just really tired.
- Yeah, it's been a long, long trip.
Indonesian coffee.
This is great way to start our day in Sorong.
See ya.
- Happy, happy.
- Happy, happy, happy.
This is a friendly place, I like this place.
- [Robyn] I also like this.
- Yeah, it's friendly here.
I actually feel like a real foreigner.
Everybody's looking at us.
You feel uncomfortable with all these men staring at you?
- I do.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I was gonna say like, I don't,
I need to probably dress more appropriate next time.
- I got really bad gastro, I'm really not,
I'm not feeling too well.
Hi.
All right, so, I found a toilet,
it's really, really, really bad.
It's really, I can't even show you it's so bad.
All right, it's 8:40 in the morning.
It's the 24th of May, 2018.
I've got really bad gastro, on my way to,
with Robyn, to a private island.
Not really private, but it's like off the grid island
in Indonesia, nine forms of transport to get there.
It's been a crazy journey, we have two more boats
to go before we get there.
And I'm not feeling very well at all.
While I'm being sick in the bathroom,
this one is getting photography with the locals.
- It's so weird.
- Yeah clearly, that happens when I walk away doesn't it?
They wait for me to leave,
and then they jump in.
Just walking out on the pier to the second last
form of transport to get to this island,
Kri Island, West Papua.
It is an hour and 50 minute boat ride apparently.
Sorry about the sun.
Hour and 50 minute boat ride,
and I'm feeling like shit right now.
But, it's a nice day, it's a nice day to have gastro.
I'd rather, the toilets are bad,
the toilets are so, so bad.
I would rather go out into the wilderness.
(relaxing music)
We've been travelling for how many long hours?
20?
- [Robyn] 24.
- Four hours.
24 hours.
All right, we're here, Waisai Port.
Getting off the boat.
Meet Lucky, Looky, Looky how are you bro?
- Good, good. - Yeah.
- [Robyn] We're happy to see you.
- Nothing works here, nothing works here.
I definitely take the western life for granted.
Make sure, if you come here, BYO toilet paper.
All right, so we paid our fee.
One million Rupia each, it's a marine park fee.
We'll talk about the detail of that later.
But we're about to jump in a boat now.
And head off to Kri.
We're off to Kri man.
We're off to Kri.
We're off to this man's homestay.
All right, it's 10 past 12.
24th of May, Thursday.
That's our final boat right there.
To leave the port of Waisai, to get to Kri Island,
which is the final destination for us.
24 hours of travel, nine connections,
this is it, this is it.
(calm happy music)
We got a balance problem on the boat.
We're gonna tip over if I'm not careful.
(mumbling)
- Should I sit in the middle too?
(calm happy music)
Look at that.
- [Robyn] No way.
- [Brad] Get outta here.
Get out.
That is so awesome.
- [Robyn] No way, really.
- [Brad] This is the best.
- [Robyn] This is so exciting.
This is so, I'm so happy.
- This is the best.
Thanks mate.
- [Man] Yeah.
- First footsteps on Kri Island,
first footsteps on the island.
We're here.
We are here.
(calm music)
