Good morning, guys.
Five o'clock in the morning, 19th of July, 2018.
Waiting for our driver to take us to the airport.
We have an eight o'clock in the morning departure.
We're off to Makassar,
then some other place.
There's two stops and then we're off to Wakatobi.
So Wakatobi is gonna be
the place that we end up
and starting our one week adventure.
So I'm just waking up right now.
Random stray dog around here.
Five o'clock in the morning,
waiting for our driver to pick us up.
We're not sure where he is, he should be here by now.
And then, yeah, off to Denpasar Airport.

Denpasar Airport.
Okay, Robsy, let's go.

Man, this is dumb, look at what I'm carrying.
This is my bag.
So we got three flights to catch.
Look how many tickets we have.
How many?
Six. - [Robyn] It's like playing
a card game.
Cards sublime.
- [Brad] Which tickets do we need?
- [Robyn] I don't know, eight (laughs).
- [Brad] Does this bring back memories?
You're a weirdo.
All right, give me your best pose.
To give me the best number of likes.
Unfriend,
unfriend.
Block.
We're off.
Robsy, we're off.
This is the first flight.
What time is it, eight o'clock?
- Five past eight.

(flight attendant speaking in foreign language)
We're in Makassar.
Makassar.
Here we go and we're off.
And we're off. - Action.
- And we're off.
Where are we?
Makassar.

- Boarding our next flight in 15 minutes to Kendari.
Is it Kendari?
Are we going to Kendari?
I don't know.
- Kendari, Kendari.
- Kendari, all right so we're boarding
in 15 minutes to Kendari.
I think this is where we go in.
I can't do that.
This is what Makassar Airport looks like.
I don't know if we're getting new tickets.
Are we getting--
Oh you look much better.
You look much better.
When we go to the beach, you're gonna have to leave it on.
(laughs)
The whole time you have to leave it on.
Okay we're about to board for Kendari.
It's a quarter past 10 in the morning.
It's the second flight of our journey to Wakatobi.
That's what no leg room looks like.
The first flight we had emergency exit row seats.
This flight we have the sardine seats.
We're at Kendari Airport, Indonesia.
- I think we need to find Information.
- Right now, right now,
it's midday and we're at Kendari Airport.
And this is our second flight.
We just landed, we're in the carousel area.
However, we have one more flight to go
to take us to Wangi-Wangi.
Wangi-Wangi.
- Here we go.
- Wangi-Wangi is our final stop.
Let's do this.
Wangi-Wangi.
All right, this is our third transit.
- [Robyn] You nervous?
- All right, we're at Kendari Airport.
It is 12:48 in the afternoon.
Our flight is at 2:15 this afternoon.
Kendari Airport, we're sitting at this cafeteria place
having coffees and
nuts
and looking at and trying
some of the local Indonesian cookies here.
It actually tastes quite nice.
Check that out.
Definitely get some of those if you ever come this way.
Rob's over there.
Say hi Robs. - Hello.
- How are you feeling?
- I'm tired.
I mean I'm okay.
It's nothing like it was the previous flight.
- So nothing, nothing (mumbles).
- Nothing (mumbles), so if you--
- But it is like, it does way you down a bit.
- It's about seven hours of total travel time.
Definitely come and check this place out.
So far so good.
I'll try to put the maps and everything else on the screen
so you can see where we're travelling to
and the geography of that.
You did it wrong.
Much better.
I'm impressed now.
One.
There we go.
All right, folks, quick update for you.
It's about two o'clock in the afternoon
on the 19th of July, 2018.
I'm at Kendari Airport
and I'll just give you a quick tour of this little airport
if you ever decide to come to Wakatobi,
this will be one of the airports
that you'll pass through to get to Wakatobi.
And there's not much here.
There is a Sky Lounge, I'll show you real quick.
There's a Sky Lounge,
which costs about 70,00 Rupiah per person to enter
and there is no WiFi.
So that's what it looks like right there.
See our lovely Sky Lounge.
We have a cafe next to it, which you can order food from.
And then there's another cafe just down here,
which is where Robyn and I have been hanging out
for the past hour and a half.
Right here.
So that's another cafe that you can chill out at.
So there's Robyn.
They're taking selfies.
Yeah we're about to board in maybe 30 minutes from now or so
to get down to Wangi-Wangi, Wakatobi.
And can't wait.
Update you shortly.
All right, 15:36
and it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
We're leaving.
What airport are we at?
Can't remember.
Kendari or something airport.
And we're on our way to,
we're on our way to the final destination, the final leg.
Wangi-Wangi Airport, Wangi-Wangi Island.
In a small plane.
Check this out.
That's our little aircraft right there.
I'm not sure how long will it take
to get from Kendari to Wangi-Wangi.
I think it's like an hour, maybe less.
But it seems like every flight we catch,
the aircrafts are getting smaller and smaller, so.
There's a little ATR jet right here, a little turbo prop.
(flight attendant speaks in foreign language)
She's sick of me.
She's gone (laughs).
(aeroplane engine roars)
We're in Wakatobi.
Wakatobi. - We made it.
- Wakatobi.
Look. - [Robyn] Wangi-Wangi.
- Wakatobi.
Wangi-Wangi.
Wakatobi.
All right 4:30 in the afternoon, 19th of July.
We're in Wakatobi.
We made it, 12 hours of travel.
And overcast,
windy and it started to rain as well.
That's our welcoming to Wakatobi, Wangi-Wangi.
Baggage carousel now, waiting for this one's bag.
- It's there.
- [Brad] Where?
- There, the very last one. - [Brad] Oh there it is.
- You did.
- [Brad] That's impressive. - You did.
- [Brad] I'm very surprised, you're now a minimalist.
Here we are, Wakatobi.
Guys it's raining.
It's raining on our first day.
Okay we're jumping in a taxi.
We're heading to, I think it's Patuno--
What's it called again?
- [Robyn] Patuno. - [Brad] Patuno Resort
here in Wangi-Wangi for 100,000 Rupiah.
Welcome.
We've arrived, Patuno.
Here we are, Patuno Resort.
Give you a tour in just a sec.
Check this place out.
I'm impressed so far.
This is our little resort.
It's very nice.
Okay so we're at Patuno Resort here,
just checking in right now.
And everything's Google Translate here,
so we're asking if we can hire a scooter
via Google Translate.
Can we hire a car?
No.
Okay so we've just checked in
and we just gotta have a little shuttle car
to take us to the reception area of this resort to our room,
we're about to get into our room now.
There's nobody here, there's nobody here.
First impressions, first impressions.
It's got a funny smell (sniffs).
It's okay, it's got a bit of a wet dog smell to it though.
We're outside our room, 108.
And there's nothing around (laughs).
There's nothing here, there's nothing, there's nobody here.
I feel like we've just been dumped in the middle of nowhere.
Like look, all these chairs.
Where are the people?
There's nobody here.
- Talk about remote.
- Like this is pretty remote.
We have our own swimming pool.
Check this out.
Look.
We have our own swimming pool.
- I mean the thing is, okay,
we've literally just arrived.
I always get this when I arrive in a new place.
You know nothing about it.
We've just landed.
And I reckon,
we need to go for a drive
around the island. - [Brad] To get our bearings.
To get our bearings.
- To get a feeling for the place
and to, yeah, feel it out a bit.
- [Brad] Because right now. - It's overwhelming
when we're stuck like this and there's nothing.
- [Brad] Well there's nothing.
- Because we have no idea.
It's really dark.
- Is it really safe to be here?
- [Robyn] It's dark.
- But look at it.
- [Robyn] I have a weird feeling that--
- [Brad] It looks like an abandoned building.
- [Robyn] I need to go on an adventure.
- [Brad] Do you reckon it's safe
to leave our stuff in there?
- [Robyn] I don't know.
- We've just checked into our room right?
Literally five minutes ago, room 108
at Patuno Resort.
And my first impression, honest impression,
is that wet dog smell inside the room.
I think it's damp,
but looks pretty good.
- I mean it's fine for what it is,
on some level I kind of thought maybe it'd be worse.
But I mean it's dark,
but also, I get the feeling
we wanna get to the other islands, like islands.
- So this is like just a stopping ground really.
- [Robyn] I reckon.
- Kind of like just, we stop here for one or two days
and then we take off.
- [Robyn] I wish we had only booked one night (mumbles).
- All right so it's 20 to six in the evening, 19th of July.
We're about to jump in our transfer taxi
from the room that we're staying at here at Patuno Resort
and we're gonna try and get to the other side of this island
I'll throw it up on the screen,
exactly where we're gonna try and get to.
And check out the markets
and if there's any restaurants over there.
Yeah and get you a good tour of Wangi-Wangi.
Let's go.
(religious music in foreign language)
Hello.
(religious music in foreign language)
All right folks, 8:30 at night, 19th of July, 2018.
We're at Nua Wasabi here at Wangi-Wangi.
I'll throw the map up so you know
exactly where this little restaurant is.
It is 8:30 at night so I can't give you good footage
of what this place looks like.
This is the end of the day.
Just quickly, we are going to come back here tomorrow
so check out that video.
We'll show you this place properly tomorrow,
including a diving here as well.
We'll take you underwater.
We'll do some drone stuff, that's gonna be fun.
After this day, Wangi-Wangi.
How do you feel?
- I am, how do I describe it?
- Culture-shocked (laughs).
- A little.
- Culture shocked. - A little.
A little, yeah.
But it's always like that in the beginning.
Tomorrow will be an amazing day.
So good night's sleep.
We've eaten well, we didn't eat all day.
We had a good meal.
Go to bed, wake up, and start the day fresh
and have an amazing day.
- Big day of travel today.
Seven, eight hours of solid travel.
Stay around for tomorrow's video.
Scuba diving, drone, and see you then.
Bye.
