Just at the airport now. And there is a big problem.
Yeah, that's sad. It's not good.
Matt: No.
Just been checking periodically. It looks like it's under control now. You
can see the water there. Right there.
Thank goodness. I hope everyone's okay.
So it's a pretty small, easy airport, really simple to navigate. And we're gonna come back next
week to do a little road trip in Tahiti. So now we're looking at car rentals.
Okay, about 85 bucks for an automatic. Full insurance. Not bad.
Hello from the airport in Tahiti.
This is the last leg of my trip. The last 28 hours. Gonna pick up a rental car and
then go places. Yeah. First thing's first, get the car.
Matt: What?
Are you excited?
Matt: Yes. We're going to explore Tahiti in this car. I don't even know what kind of car this is.
An MG.
Matt: MG. Mega Growl.
It is not mega Growl.
Matt: Wow.
Oh my God.
Matt: Don't give a fuck.
No.
Matt: That guy cut in from the other side. No fucks given. Woo.
Welcome to Tahiti.
Matt: Oh, says turn left. Great.
Made it. Well done captain. He's dying of laryngitis.
Sweet. I like it.
Oh no. We may have made a terrible mistake.
Matt: Or, it's gonna be awesome. Look at that.
That looks amazing. But this is so much food. Oh my goodness.
Well, somehow
we almost did it. Such good food. So good.
I haven't had a bad meal in French Polynesia, actually,
but this was really good.
Morning Tahiti. Looks like a really nice day. My last 24...no,
my last few hours in French Polynesia. Time to go on a little road trip and see what we
can see with this incredibly fine MG vehicle, which is kinda like a glorified go-kart. All
right, first little stop here. We are not in Fakarava anymore.
Matt: It's beautiful.
Oh this is cool and jungly.
Matt: This tree is so cool.
This is a cool tree.
Oh no. Why? All the fun's over here. Let's see if
maybe some of the other ones are actually open. This would be really cool if only you
weren't completely barred from going in. That sucks.
It's the Polynesian pygmy tiger, in
his natural habitat. Eating... grass?
That was a burst.
But at least it didn't cost anything. We were gonna stop at this free,
like, botanic garden thing. But then there were two big buses there. And then we were
like, "No way. No." So now we're going down to that big wave Teahupo or Chehupo. And maybe
we'll see some some people shredding. That would be cool. It's just a nice drive though. It's
so jungly and lush here.
The place that all the dudes in college had on their walls.
Are you impressed?
Matt: No really.
Yeah.
It's more of a geriatric bus tour kind of a place. But, Buddy, over here,
however, is going straight for it.
Ooh.
You want a turn?
No.
Matt: I'll film you.
No.
Matt: You go in there, you gotta do the same kinda moves though.
I don't have the crown on.
There has to be something cool to do in Tahiti.
There has to be.
Matt: We're driving.
We just don't have the vehicle for it.
Matt: No, we're in a Chinese MG.
Yeah. But we have like half the island left.
Matt: Mega Growl.
Mega Growl. Hand on the wheel.
Matt: MG.
What does that mean?
Matt: Most in fashion in the world.
Does that make sense?
Matt: The number one high car?
Like, the number one.
Okay. Okay. There is a dog take a shit.
This is getting really pretty.
Matt: It is.
I am hopeful. Let's see.
We're just droning everything because it's the middle
of the island that looks really cool in Tahiti. So that leaves us with one choice.
We are kind of striking out on the ground, but up in the air it's awesome. So we're just gonna try
to find more drone spots now.
This is probably the last stop where Chariot can realistically
handle. It's the three waterfalls. And I can already see one, it looks really cool. So
hopefully, it stops raining so we can drone. But this one we can walk to. Imagine that.
Okay, in the three waterfalls valley, only one is open due to rockfall.
We're doing really well today.
Matt: In the sky, the droning is great.
In the sky, we're doing great. But let's check this out, see what we can
do on the ground.
Oh, okay.
Matt: Okay. You just have to go in around the rock.
Female Speaker: Not bad. Okay, I can do that.
Hey guys. Well, after a fun-filled day in Tahiti, mostly involving the drone, it's time
to head back to the west now. And I have to say that, and I'm sorry if this upsets anyone,
but I think Tahiti is probably more of a pass-through than a destination. Definitely worth checking
out for a day or two on either end of flying somewhere else because you're definitely gonna
fly in here if you're coming from pretty much any international destination. But do I think
it's a destination in itself? Probably not. But French Polynesia is awesome. Matt agrees.
You messed up the focus. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Give it a thumbs up. Share it
with your friends. And I'll see you next Wednesday. Bye.
