tourist trap that we will just now visit. Yeah, this is not ideal, but we don’t have
a choice. And then we have Escuela. So, do you want to go back to work? Huh? I found a school

discovering the little huts. A lot of people doing their shopping here. The numbers
on the doors. Here we can see 1925, 2025, 100 years with the sign here of the community. Very touristic though. This become like a
shopping area. We see those folks, those kids in the background. I’m a little bit like sunburn

all over the place. But we have a treat. Here we go. Here we have
it. Wow. What a sunshine. Sunset. Beautiful sunset here in the background. So pleasant. And we come across
some interesting stuff here. the flags of the island. Look at this flag.
And we have both both of them. One. Look at this. We see the uh arrow and the ark and
the stars. Red representing the blood, green the forest, and yellow the
sun. But I need to confirm that. That’s what I’ve been told. And
I forgot about the seven stars. No comment. And we’ve got a building site
here building a new hut on the beach. No comments about that either. Small rain this
evening. Refreshing us than massively the high temperature of today. No complaints.
Can we have a break, please? Birds making so much noise we can’t even talk here. Okay,
let’s go for dinner. Night time. Dinner time, guys. And it looks like we’ve got a fair bit of
rain. I need to document everything. Hello. Hello. Yeah, everybody’s warming up, wrapping
up nicely, splitting down the rain. So, let’s go. Let’s go for it. Let’s go. Woo.
Oh, yeah. It’s very refreshing. Look at this. Very nice. Woohoo. Come back in. Come
on. It’s not waterproof. Laia say Oh my god. Oh yeah. Oh no. The camera is not waterproof.
Sorry. Sorry. Oh, look at this. Look at this. Let’s go back to the seat. Thank you. [Music] [Music] Good night folks. This is time to talk. This is
inside the cabin. They’re hot and um the noise is outrageous. All you can hear is the rain.
I never experienced such noise in my life. We’re going to try to see what’s going on outside. Here’s the window. We’re going
to open the door. Obviously, it’s pitch black. Ridiculous amount of noise.
I’m waiting for the bang so we can all hear it. Missed it. It’s a big noise. So loud. You think
this is going to be like the end of the world. That is powerful, right? We have to see through.
We have to hope we make it. If you see that video, that means we made it safe and sound. All
right, folks. Good night. need to stop filming and then try to sleep somehow through
this weather forecasting. So, wish us luck. Buenos das. Good morning. Okay, so as
you can see, I’ve made it in one piece. The thing is this place looks not so
peaceful where really it was the worst storm I’ve experienced in my life in terms of
noise. Moving on now and good morning again and welcome to this video again and let’s see
what Sandlas brings today. Speak to you shortly. Another day, another dollar,
another day, another island. This is uh our next house for the day and night.
Cannot wait. The name is called Aroma. Islands look pretty pretty to be fair. Still
part of the autonomous region of San blas. Okay, let’s go and drop our bags and check into
our new house. Discovering Aroma Island. And I see the volleyball pitch where our friends, the
birds have actually moved in. Don’t run guys. This is your house here. I’m not pushing you away. We
have been given accommodation for the night. Yeah. Double beds. Just done my washing as you can see
there. Yeah. So, welcome to this video. Again, if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary,
an accommodation like Nova, that’s the hut you can stay for the night. Not cheaper than a hotel, but
a little bit more authentic and close to nature. you see friendly guys, friendly bunch. How
come you can’t even go in the hammock? Huh? How spastic can someone be? I think it’s
a baby one. No, it’s not a baby one. I think that’s the opposite way around. I think
it’s a baby one. Water’s looking pretty good, actually. Surprisingly, considering it was a heavy
storm last night. Time water had time already to recover. Look at the boat here. Oh, nice. Nice
boat and still in use. How you go in English? Huh? There you go. There you go. Off you
go. I push you in the sea. You ready? I’m going to remove the rope here
and push you in the sea. Let’s go. What do you think is that
technique? You need to sit down. So, you can see some huts have been built
here. That is not as nice. Actually, they’re trying to improve, but it’s not better.
Why fix something that’s not broken? Huh? Oh dear. Coconut here has seen better days. The
roots of a coconut seem seemingly are very short. I don’t know if someone’s an expert on
coconut tree on his channel, but it looks like they would be easy to fall down. Here we go.
I’m not sure if the camera does it justice, but it is beautiful. It’s very nice here.
We just passed this boat a minute ago. I’d like to try this at some point
today if I can. Ask permission to try the boat. I don’t actually think it’s
decoration. They do use it because he’s got the the thing in there to scoop
the water. That means it’s been used. We see the pelican flying towards
me here. That’s a pelican. Wouldn’t it be nice if he came all the way to
us and say hello? Yeah. Come to us, my baby. Come to us. Yeah. Look at
this pelican. Right. Is it? Wow. Right. Let’s test the water. That’s actually little bit little bit fresh.
Not cold, fresh. I could easily swim now, but I will keep it for later. Okay, that’s
it, folks. Speak to you a bit later. Here’s our taxi coming to pick us up
to take us to another island. Cold, I’m sure. It’s La Diablo, Devil Island, Island
of the Devil, something like that. All right, let’s have a look at the taxi. This is a taxi
coming here. You’re right. Is it? He’s here. He’s here. It is time to say goodbye. Not
really. Anyway, there’s 300 remote islands here in the san blas part of the country.
So, that’s another one of them. Kind of look similar. They’re pretty much as beautiful as each
other. I like this pier here behind me. The pier is nice. Look at this. So, as we’re walking
along the beach, we see a guy that’s working. Lookc. [Laughter] Wow. [Laughter] Amigo. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look here. Okay. Okay. Gracias. Beautiful shells. Folks are there working hard
doing their daily shows. The boy on a canoe is just leaving as I’m approaching him. Sadly, he’s
definitely a traditional boat. Bit of a swing here for the tourist. And you’ve got your delivery
here, mate. Your boat delivery for the material so the guys can carry on their construction
here. And the boys doing work and delivery. Construction. Okay. Hotel. Okay. Bueno. Gracias.
So, new hotel coming up. Nova Hotel. [Laughter] Okay. This is your delivery. I
will send that video to my friends who’s doing delivery work. Majors. Look at this is a
delivery. While some people have fun and visiting, some people carry out their daily activities
such as delivering materials in some blast so they can build a hotel restaurant here. There’s
a risk when you start to overdevelop those nice remote place. There’s a risk that it becomes
crowded and work against the principle of the uh of the place, doesn’t it? Yeah.
you wanted to keep to stay remote, but they want to bring money in. There’s a bit
of a there’s a bit of a dilemma here. Hopefully, they keep it uh traditional and small, so it keeps
the authenticity. We need to preserve the islands, not over populate the islands. Yeah. because uh
there’s not many of these places left. That’s true. They’re recycling all the uh plastic
bottles for decoration and they come from the sea. That is for sure. Yeah. to preserve
everything to keep it nice and natural, not overpop populated. [Music] Look
at the beauty of nature in the sea. Let’s have a look. Look at
the size of these conches. Beauty. So beautiful. Hola. Oh, plenty money. Bye. Okay. What do you want? Oh, okay. Okay. No. See, see, see. What a shame. Go to a bar. They
don’t have cold drinks. Only cold Coca-Cola. But I didn’t want Coca-Cola. Have a cold
drink, man. Have a cold beer. Seriously, what do you think of this? Not having a cold
beer in the fridge. Huh? I can wait. It’s like in Jamaica in a day. Back in the day. Lunch
time. It’s like Jamaica in a day. You had you ask for a beer, they ask you if you want
it hot or cold. But it’s still that cold though. At least to be fair. All right. Look at
these houses in the background. That wouldn’t be That wouldn’t be a hardship to stay in there,
would it? Do not forget about do not get used to the beauty around you. Keep enjoying it. Beautiful
scenery, beautiful islands. And local people still live here as well, even though he has become
a tourist spot. Let’s not pretend. All right. Welcome to Uku Siku Natural Pool.
Thank you. We didn’t realize. And look at the house there. Wow. Small
island. What a small island. We’re going to have a look. So, apparently this
was discovered after the tsunami. Mhm. Good explanation from locks,
right? Okay, let’s go and swim. Okay, let’s go and see the starfish. Just going for a little chill on the beach. Can I please be not be disturbed? Huh? Next
you’ll be asking me to get you a beer. Actually, since you’re mentioning Not a chance.

Bit of rigon as always. Okay. [Music] Good morning again from Snablas.
Every day we having to explore some beautiful island. I’m very sorry
about this. I’m very very sorry, but I’m happy to share the beautiful view
here with everyone here online. Look at this [Applause] tiny little island where only
a few tourists get the privilege to come. Only a few privilege get to see. And the privileged
ones, yeah, we’re quite happy to be part of it. Visitor tax $3 per person to use the beach. So,
nobody asked me for $3 yet, but it probably will happen. This is the autonomous region
of Sunglass. I keep repeating myself, but it is actually very nice when you have the
privilege to come to the beach and uh you see local kids and not just tourists cuz we don’t like
to see the locals push out of their own territory. Okay. And by the way, those kids from uh this
region at that age, they don’t go to school, so they don’t speak Spanish yet. So, they only
speak their parents lingo. So, that’s why they don’t really communicate with us. But, it’s
nice to see them play on their own patch. H look at this. If you did know, you’d think he was in, I don’t
know, the Maldives, Zanzibar, or I don’t know, uh, Thailand or something like that,
Philippines. But no, this is real. This is Panama. Very traditional beach. Look
at this. This is no joke. No joke at all. Disgusting. Eh, I’m very sorry, but I think I need
a I need a cold water. It’s too hot. It’s not even 10:00 a.m. and it’s already very warm. Working on
the sand. You can see my shade. How nice is this? Wavy, wavy, wavy, wavy. Little walk in
the sea. Water blue as you can imagine. And it looks like something is in the
sea. That shouldn’t be in here. Yeah, that definitely shouldn’t be in here.
Shipwreck they call it. Oh well, whatever. I think coming and removing this would be too much
hard work. So, I decided to leave it here. Okay, there’s another island behind me there. I think
I could swim there. But I’m going to go back. Oh, plenty fishes playing with me here. Look at this.
I don’t know if they’re visible on the camera, but lovely fish. Let’s see if
I can wave my hand with them. Oh no, there we going away. Wow. See
