It's so nice.
It's probably the nicest sea.
The colour is ridiculous.
This view is crazy.
Super seaweedy.
Look at this crowd though, so many people.
All having a good time here.
I don't know if you can hear that,
someone's going, put your hands up.
But then when we come back, it just feels like...
Braccai definitely feels more like a party island
than I remember.
Morning, everybody.
What a morning this is.
We are about to head to breakfast.
We're getting straight into it today.
We've had some morning coffee.
By the way, the fastest ever room service,
ever, that I've experienced in a hotel, ever.
I called, I was in bed,
and I was like, right, I better kind of get out.
Had pyjamas on, my hair's all in a mess,
it's up like to here.
And I was like, right, I better get a hat on.
As I was reaching for my hat, the door knocked.
I'm not joking, about,
I would say it was about four minutes
for our morning coffees to arrive.
So that is amazing.
We feel caffeinated, we feel good.
We are waking up to this stunning view
here in Boracay, here in the Philippines.
Crimson Resort, where we've been staying for the last,
well, last few days, and making some fun videos,
having a good time.
And hopefully you've been enjoying the vlogs.
I hit the gym yesterday, feeling good this morning.
The sun is out, there's like one cloud in the sky.
The color of that water is insane.
The color of the sand is amazing.
We need to go to breakfast.
I need to take a breath.
We'll see you down there.
Thank you, sir.
Where's my camera?
Your camera?
Where's your camera?
I'll get it, I'll get it.
You wanna take some photos today?
Coda's camera.
I can play a different game.
Thank you for holding the door, mate.
Thank you so much.
Very helpful.
See, like, you decide to have a baby,
and then it's cute, and you have this baby to carry around.
And then eventually-
You can have three.
Eventually, they hold the door for you.
Lovely.
A funny thing happened yesterday.
We, Coda, we were sitting around the pool,
and Coda suddenly started saying,
juicy vlog, juicy vlog, juicy vlog.
And we never really say our own channel name.
Juicy vlog.
Why?
But we don't really say it that much.
I don't say, welcome to another juicy vlog.
I think if some people say, like, what's your channel,
and we say it, he must've overheard it.
Yeah, or people, someone's comments will say,
oh, your juicy vlog, right?
Yeah.
And he's heard it, but we've never really said it to him,
like, the name of the channel.
He knows that we have the channel,
and that we do the vlogs and stuff.
The things they pick up on.
It's a sunny one today, guys.
Ooh, yes.
Look at this.
Whoa.
And as we come out, the camera will adjust.
That's one thing.
Okay, there we go.
One thing about this camera,
I do really, really like this camera.
It's small and compact.
It's the, if anyone's ever wondering,
it's the Canon PowerShot V1.
It was kind of positioned to replace the Canon G7X,
which is like the OG vlogging camera.
But one thing, I mean, it's doing it now.
One thing, it kind of takes a little while sometimes
to adjust the lighting.
Just one of those things.
We used to use the massive Sony camera, which is better.
Better in some ways, not as good in other ways.
But yeah, we've actually still got the big microphone
on top of here, because the audio out of this camera
isn't that good.
It's kind of tinny.
So we've got good audio and nice visuals.
Look at that.
Perfect timing.
So we've got a bit of a routine in the mornings
for breakfast buffets,
because we seem to be having them every day for weeks.
So I go up and get Koda's breakfast first,
give it to him.
Then I go back and get Remy's breakfast.
George starts feeding him.
Then I go back and get my breakfast,
and then start eating while doing Remy,
and then George gets his breakfast,
and then we kind of end up somewhere in the middle,
and then usually we'll get a fruit plate
or some sweet stuff afterwards to share.
I just said to George, it must look like I'm a bit greedy,
because I get three plates worth of food
within a few minutes.
If anyone works here thinking,
if I haven't got kids, I'm just here on my own,
I'm just getting three plates worth of food.
Anyway, Remy seems to love fangus.
So we've got him some omelets and fruit,
a little chicken patty, some bread, some cheese.
That's Remy's plate.
Koda's got some sausage roll, bacon, beef taffa,
eggs, and some yogurt.
And I'm sure we'll be on sweet stuff with him soon as well.
But yeah, it looks good.
Remy's already seen his food.
And as soon as you put that down,
he started reaching for it.
Yeah, look, look.
Ah!
Remy, mind that water.
There we go.
He's trying to pull his food towards him.
Ooh!
Here we go, Remy.
This is yours.
So for some reason,
I've been having a Mexican for breakfast every day here.
I've got some chicken enchiladas,
taco with some shredded beef,
I'm gonna make a little taco,
some salad-y bits, some cheese, some bacon.
It's been my go-to here,
and it's such a good plate of food.
And the fact that this is the last day having it
is kind of making me quite upset
because this has been the best breakfast of the trip so far,
I have to say.
Unbelievable food.
Okay, we've come down to the beach area now.
Remy's having his nap on the beach.
Lovely.
Koda's playing with some Spider-Man figures in the sand.
Gonna order a fresh cocoa,
take it in turns, taking dips in the sea.
Before we check out,
we've got a late checkout at 2 p.m. today,
so really grateful we can use everything here until then.
But the good news is,
we are staying on Boracay Island for a little bit longer,
and we're heading towards the White Beach area.
And, oh, thank you.
We're heading towards the White Beach area today,
so really excited to see how that's looking in 2026.
We've not been for a few years,
and last time we were here, it was so busy.
It was kind of overwhelmingly busy,
so I'm interested to see if it's changed,
if it's more busy, if there's the same amount of busy,
if it's like there's new developments there,
if it stayed the same.
I really don't know what to expect
because we have stayed at Crimson
for the couple of nights we've been here.
So, yeah, really excited
to head towards that area later on today.
You all right there, George?
Fresh pickle on the way.
Oh, I must look so funny.
You've been wearing my sunglasses this whole trip.
Thank you.
I didn't bring any sunglasses with me.
Because we actually generally don't use sunglasses anymore,
but just on this white sand with the sky,
I'm just like, for 20 minutes,
I'm gonna actually make the experience a bit more enjoyable.
We've read up on benefits about not wearing sunglasses,
like letting the sunlight into your eyes
and not blocking out the sun so much.
And it's signaling to your body
that it's actually daytime.
If you wear sunglasses all the time,
it actually signals to your body the opposite
and it keeps you sleepy and stuff like that.
And we've noticed the benefits of not wearing sunglasses.
However, occasionally,
it is nice just to be able to actually look around and see,
and it makes the experience slightly more enjoyable.
So 80-20 rule.
George and I have just been hopping
in and out of the sea for like an hour.
It's so nice.
It's probably the nicest sea of the trip so far.
It feels bluer than yesterday.
It's really still, apart from when waves go by
and then it gets a bit choppy, which is quite fun.
Yeah, it's a sort of sea
where you could just like spend hours just floating.
Like I'm going deep enough not to touch the bottom,
just like treading water, just looking around at the water.
Like the colour is ridiculous
and I just can't believe my eyes.
But anyway, full of salt water now.
So we probably should shower before we leave.
Or not, because we'll end up in the sea again later anyway.
We've ordered Koda a smoothie bowl, which looks amazing.
Loads of fresh fruit on there, strawberries, granola.
So hopefully he's gonna enjoy that.
And Remy has just woken up from his nap.
So we're gonna head off to the smoothie bowl,
head up to one of the pools, then get back to the room,
get packed up, get showered
and move on to the main white beach area later on.
Time to say goodbye to this view.
Nevermind.
Always a sad day leaving Crimson.
We hope to be back.
We will be back one day.
Who knows?
It may be years.
It may, well, it'll most likely definitely be years.
I was gonna say it may be months.
Doubt it'll be months, but we'll hear.
I think, I feel like Lucy and I are gonna come here
when we're like 70 as well
and just sit on the beach, do nothing else,
drink mango shakes.
So we are gonna load up all the luggage.
Well, actually the guys here are helping us do that,
which is amazing.
Great service here as always.
And we're even using their shuttle service
to go to the hotel we've booked
for the next couple of nights, which is great.
So we're staying on the island.
Wanted to do a little bit longer on Boracay this time
because I always feel like it's too short.
We always do kind of like three or four nights
and then we're off again.
But we wanted to kind of settle in this time
and maybe find some new food spots, see what's going on.
I think Lucy mentioned we haven't been to Boracay
in over two years.
And we want to go and see what's changed
down at the kind of main beach area.
I'm very excited to be there for sunset this evening.
So we're gonna...
Remy, that was an interesting noise.
So we're gonna head in the van now,
head to our new hotel and say goodbye to Crimson.
I know, it's very sad.
Ah!
Koda's taking his bird with him to the next hotel
and potentially the rest of the whole trip.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, bye.

Remy's got some great entertainment here.
You guys are in the wrong job.
You should be on the stage.
Yeah.
These are the singers of Rafa.
Yeah, professional singers.
Yeah, he doesn't know what to say.
Beautiful voices.
Yeah.
And we are in our new room.
It's quite cool because you can see the bathroom.
So Lucy can watch me shower.
We have a nice room here.
Family room, TV.
Double bed here.
Coda's bed here.
Remy's cot here.
And what's quite cool,
I quite like this blind here.
It reminds me of the Caribbean.
Oh, really?
It's like me.
I feel like I've been to the Caribbean
and stayed somewhere like that.
Yeah, I know what you mean, actually.
Which isn't true, because we haven't.
We've been on a cruise in the Caribbean.
Which means we haven't done that,
but I don't know why.
Or the Caribbean, however you want to say it.
Hang on, back me.
Well, yes, but can it be a quick room tour?
Because, sorry chaps, but Remy needs to sleep.
The room tour's literally done.
Just want to have a look at the balcony.
Haven't even been out here yet.
Wow, okay, so we've got a nice little balcony
overlooking the pool, which is quite nice.
Yeah, I like that.
We'll be down there soon.
And the good thing about this place,
and the main reason we booked it,
is that it is literally very, very close to the beach.
We can just walk down.
I think they call it Sunset Road.
For sunset in a couple of hours,
we can walk down, get on that beautiful,
famous Barracai Beach.
And yes, like a two minute walk.
Remy is awake from his nap,
and we are coming out for dinner and sunset.
We've been sat in a dark room for the last hour,
so I feel like we haven't had a nap,
but I've got that kind of post-nap feeling
when you've had a nap, and you kind of wake up,
and then it's the evening time,
and you're a little bit delirious.
So need to wake up again, get into things.
We're going to get a tricycle.
Tricycles in Barracai a few years back all went electric,
which is really, really cool to see.
So we're going to see if we can hail one down.
I seem to remember having trouble doing that last time.
It was, they seemed like less available
two years ago when we were here.
I don't know why.
Oh, wow.
We found some fish.
Oh, they're cool.
So let's see how easy it is to do.
Let's see how much they're charging these days.
I have no idea.
That was quicker than I thought,
so maybe it's a lot easier.
See if Lucy can do a deal.
Coda really wants to sit up front on the motorbike bit.
Bless him.
Right, you guys get in.
There we go.
Thank you.
We need his brake on.
Yes.
Remy, first tricycle.
Hold on to Coda.
And Coda's, Coda's not, not Coda's first tricycle, but.
Oh, look at it.
Here we go, here we go.
Let's go.
How cool is this?
We're winning.
Is that cool?
Whoa.
I'm the fastest motorbike.
This is our first tricycle ride in the Philippines
since coming back here, isn't it?
It is, and I'm surprised we can get the buggy in like this.
Yeah, how cool is this?
We can just get Remy's stroller in without holding it.
Very convenient.
Can't do that on a grab.
100 pesos later.
I don't know if that's the going rate.
Didn't haggle down.
I just thought 100 pesos is fine.
It was only a few minutes of the ride.
It was probably a little bit expensive,
but equally, we're on Boracay Island.
I don't know how, like, regulated it is,
but just picked Remy up out of the buggy
because there's quite a few dogs here.
And we are always careful with dogs when we travel
because you never know.
And obviously, he's buggy height, dog height, I suppose.
So yeah, just being careful.
Probably being overly cautious,
but that's what you do as parents.
You are overly cautious in every way.
And we still get to go on these adventures,
but this was a little extra care
compared to when it was his stroller tonight.
But anyway, what was I saying?
Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a good rate,
but he was a nice guy.
Happy I gave him 100 pesos.
And now we're heading down to the beach through this,
like, it's really nice, actually.
This is a little hostel area.
Ah, Remy!
How are you going, mister?
You used to face me.
Oh my goodness.
This isn't easy.
This is not the easiest carry ever, Remy.
Where are you going, mate?
You're watching the dogs, aren't you?
Doggies, look at the doggies.
I don't know where we are.
It's like they're building two hotels here.
Really random, isn't it?
And we are in the most random alleyway at the moment.
Down to the beach.
Oh!
We're very close to the beach.
Coda's having a ride.
Anytime Remy's not in, he jumps in.
Wait here a sec.
Good boy, he's waiting.
He can't wait for that sunset.
Let's go.
We'll have to drag Remy backwards, I think.
It's the only thing about traveling with an infant
is that you have to find ways to do things.
But we always find a way, guys.
Don't worry.
There's always a way.
Here we go.
Coda already wants to buy stuff.
Wow, guys.
It feels so busy here.
It feels busier than I remember.
But in a nice way.
And it's still in a chilled, relaxed way.
Really nice.
Thank you.
We're not quite at that golden hour sunset yet,
which is good, because we want to have dinner first
and then enjoy that.
So good to be back here.
So we've come to this place, Mutros.
Mutros, a Latin American kitchen and bar.
We've got the best seat in the house.
We are sat right at the sunset spot on the beach.
And sunset is happening.
Well, the sun will be setting one hour from now,
so we've picked the perfect time.
Golden hour is beginning very soon.
All the sailboats are out.
It's fairly busy, but it's not too chaotic,
actually, I say that.
Down that way, it's very busy.
Let me show you down here.
Just this spot here looks very crowded,
and it's probably gonna get busier as the night goes on.
But our experience here is lovely.
We get to, what a top tip.
If you're coming to Morocco, watch sunset at a restaurant,
then you can enjoy it without the crowd.
Beautiful, although we'll probably hop down to the beach
as it sets for good pictures.
Yeah, yeah, it's so lovely.
Off I go down to the beach.
I have to say, the beach is much shorter up here.
Like, I feel like the water's closer,
or it's just high tide,
but I feel like it gets wider down that end.
I don't know why.
Look at this.
Oh, all these trees have been chopped down.
I wonder why.
But look at my view.
So many sailboats.
And I swear there weren't, like,
adverts on them last time I saw them.
I might be wrong, but I've got a lot of BPI
and Sprite adverts and choice today.
There's a big ferry over there.
Also, I've never seen a ferry that big here.
It looks like a cruise ship or something.
What is that?
Can someone tell me?
This view is crazy.
And then you've just got, ah, yes, the classic,
the seaweed, which I know cannot be helped.
And I know it's a seasonal thing,
but there is definitely a lot of seaweed right now.
Goodness me, the most I've ever seen.
Whoa, it goes all the way out.
I wish I had a drone right now to really look,
but as far as I can see, there's seaweed.
And then it just goes to, like, ocean colored.
But yeah, look, super seaweedy.
And there are quite a lot of the seaweeds
obviously washed up onto the beach as well,
but it doesn't take away the fact
that it's a beautiful place to be.
And once you're past the seaweed,
I'm sure it'd be lovely to swim in it,
but I don't particularly like,
I don't know if it's just me,
but the feeling of seaweed on me freaks me out a little bit,
and I don't love it.
I would happily, like, wade through this
to get to the nice bit.
I'm not completely against it,
but it's not the ideal swimming situation.
And I would dip my toes in quickly.
Temperature is nice.
It's warm, fairly warm for the sea.
But yeah, loads of people taking these sailboats out.
I wonder what the cost is for one of these.
I think once the kids are bigger,
I'd love to go out on a sailboat during sunset time.
That must be amazing.
I have no idea what the cost is.
If you know, drop me a comment below
because what I'd like to know.
There's a really fit couple running past me,
both with six packs, like rippling abs as they run,
and we've just ordered loads of tacos at the Mexican place.
It's all right, it's all good.
Balance.
Not sure what the balance is for me here.
I'm just one end of the scale, but it's fine.
Sunset is starting very soon.
I say it like it's an event that you have to like,
like it's got a set time.
It happens, doesn't it?
Without me talking about the time it happens,
but I cannot wait to see it.
We saw it last night at Crimson,
but there's something about it's such like a vast,
like the beach is huge.
White beach is absolutely huge.
There's something about being
on this crazy long stretch of beach
that just goes so far both sides.
Being there, seeing the sunset like times however many,
it's just epic.
It's like the best sunset in the world here,
and yeah, really, really excited for the sun to set soon.
Am I more excited for dinner?
I'm not sure, perhaps.
Perhaps it's a tie.
Oh cool, there's a little sandbank just here
where there's some kids playing,
like building sandcastles,
maybe like five metres out at sea.
That's really cool.
Oh yeah, it's all like a sandbank.
It's weird, like this is like a,
this bit here is like water obviously,
but then along here it goes to like a sandbank.
I've never seen that before.
It's like there's a lower bit.
Maybe that's why the tide looks further in
because maybe the water kind of reaches this part.
I'm wondering if when the tide goes out,
does this stay as a pool of water?
That's my guess, but I've got no idea.
But anyway, yeah, the sand's looking lovely
other than the seaweed.
It's a nice white sand as always,
powdery white, beautiful.
And yeah, loads of people are enjoying.
Look at this crowd though, so many people.
But I think as the hour goes on,
it's going to get even busier.
So I've gone for a fresh strawberry
and watermelon soda thing.
Perfect.
Oh, that's so nice.
It's hot, isn't it?
Feels muggy.
We have chosen to sit outside, so it is our fault.
Koda's got a watermelon juice
and then we've also got a coconut water as well
for good measure.
I love coconut water so much
and it's so good for you as well.
So if you're watching us coming to a hot country in Asia,
coconut a day, very good for you.
Okay, we've got some beef tacos, some pork tacos,
some chicken quesadillas for the kids.
All good, right on the beach.
Super nice.
Are we getting in?
I think you're getting in.
Are we getting involved?
Yeah.
Now I don't know how spicy this is going to be.
Oh, that's piping hot as well.
Remy's dancing to the music.
Okay, darling.
So good.
Oh, please don't take a second bite.
I just want to eat.
Here you go, try this.
That pork's good, isn't it?
What an amazing setting, guys.
I want that hot sauce.
How nice is this?
Look at the sun on our table.
You need hot sauce, it's spicy enough.
We got the classic San Domingo Pale Pilsen.
All having a good time here.
The beach right here.
How cool is that?
No one needs that close up.
How much hot sauce do you want to put on that?
It's Lucy's favorite sauce, this stuff.
When I was pregnant with Remy,
before I knew I was pregnant,
we went to a Mexican restaurant near where we lived
and I was like pouring it on the tacos like crazy.
I was basically drinking it and I was like,
it was doing something.
I was like, I need more.
It made me go crazy.
We were sat at the table in the restaurant.
It's the first time you've had it, right?
Lucy's then on Amazon ordering like five bottles
to the house for the next day.
It was a smaller bottle than this,
but I think I finished the bottle.
Yeah.
In that meal.
And then I was like, oh, it's because I was pregnant.
It was like a craving in my pregnancy.
I'm not pregnant.
I just like it now.
Are you sure?
This isn't me being like, ah.
Is this a pregnancy announcement video?
No.
Okay, fine.
Okay, I'm going to quickly run away from the table
whilst the boys are both happy eating.
Lucy's kind of finished up because I have not,
wow, what on earth?
I have not yet been down to the beach.
My reaction just then was because of how busy it feels.
Look at this.
I don't know if Lucy's kind of touched on this yet.
Looks like a, what?
There's a cruise ship over there.
I've never seen a cruise ship there before.
It looks bigger than a ferry.
It could just be a ferry.
I have no idea what Lucy's vlog,
so I don't want to repeat whatever she said,
but yeah, this is pretty special.
I remember, wow, this is what it feels like
when we first came.
We first came 2018.
What's that?
Eight years ago.
I can't believe we were here eight years ago
for the very first time.
Then I was just chatting to the guy who works here, Val.
Really nice guy.
He's just subscribed to the channel.
He saw the camera and asked us what the channel was.
So if you're watching, Val,
thank you for looking after us.
But he was all kind of remembering back to the time
where this whole island got closed down
for six months for rehabilitation.
And then straight after that, more or less,
they got hit with the lockdown.
So like Boracay took a double hit.
And I mean, it's just great to see it so busy.
It's crazy to see a beach so busy.
And all the boats, there's just hundreds of boats out here.
It's wild.
But there's an energy on this island.
There's a feeling of, I don't know, like people are here.
Everything feels raised.
I'm kind of feeling it myself.
We've been to very relaxing places on this trip so far.
In Porta Princesa, very, very chilled.
Even in Cebu, we stayed at very kind of
laid back family resort.
But this feels like, it feels like,
obviously it's a beach island location,
but it feels like it's city people, if that makes sense.
It kind of, and a lot of it is.
A lot of people come here from Manila and other,
you know, wherever people travel from.
I know there used to be very good connecting flights
from Korea maybe, and there's a lot of Korean tourists.
But it feels like everyone's here for like a good time.
And for a short time, it feels like the energy is intense.
And I don't know, it feels, I can't explain it really.
It feels kind of like compressed
and like a kind of a barackite bubble.
I don't know.
I'm trying to get my words together
after the Sandmig Pilsen.
But yeah, just beautiful to be here.
Despite the seaweed, doesn't matter about that.
We've been, it's interesting,
because the last couple of times we've come,
I think Lucy probably mentioned,
last couple of times we've come, this has been here.
And it's probably, I think it's just time of year
because we did come at the same time of year
or very similar time of year,
a couple of years back when we came with Lucy's family.
Jason and Claire, I know many of you watching
maybe saw those vlogs.
We have been here when it's just been pure white.
It's like the most beautiful beach in the world.
But to be back here is something special.
It's great.
I was just sipping my drink, looking at the two boys,
Remy like in the sun,
just being together as a family of four.
It's just very, very special.
And I only get that feeling in the Philippines, really.
I don't know why, I think I do know why.
I think it's because when we first came to the Philippines,
we were only ever gonna stay for two weeks.
That was the thing.
We were on like an Asia trip.
We had Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong.
And then the next one, many of you know the story.
We weren't even, we may have not even ever
set foot in the Philippines and I'm so glad we did,
but we had to book a flight.
I'm not gonna retell the story.
We were, the short version is we were queuing up.
We didn't have an onward travel for one of our trips
and the airline weren't gonna let us board the flight.
So we had to book a trip.
We went on Skyscanner,
it was the cheapest flight to Manila.
Let's book it, let's go to the Philippines for two weeks.
We'd always wanted to come anyway,
but we hadn't done any research.
We knew nothing about the Philippines.
So we just booked for two weeks
and then we planned this very impromptu trip
that was only ever supposed to be two weeks.
And we came here and we just fell in love with it.
It was a place that spoke to us more than any other place.
There is no part of me that is just saying that.
Some people accuse vloggers of like exaggerating
and stuff like that.
We get some, like we get 99% amazing comments.
We get, but we get some comments that are kind of like,
oh, you're exaggerating, you're just saying this stuff.
You can't really be feeling, hey,
you can't really be feeling these things,
but we genuinely are.
If I'm talking to my own camera,
putting it on my own channel,
putting my face and my words to my own channel,
then I mean it.
So yeah, we just feel great here.
There is a massive party boat going on over there.
I don't know if you can hear that.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I get emotional when we're in a place like this.
And I just think being with the family
and being with the boys is just an extra special thing.
And just feel super grateful basically
that once again, I'm here walking on this beach.
Like we have so much time in the UK these days
and that just ends up feeling so, so normal
and we get so used to it.
And it's our kind of daily, like weekly routine.
Coda has his little clubs he goes to.
This feels like another world away when we're not here.
But then when we come back, it just feels like home.
It just feels like our second home we call.
We call Philippines our second home.
And it's just like some relaxing feeling.
Why can't we spend more time here?
We try and spend as much time here as we can.
I really want to bring my parents out as well,
because as you know,
if you've been watching the channel
for the last six months or a year,
they were supposed to be on this trip
and they couldn't make it for various reasons,
mainly around like they're selling their house
and stuff like that.
And they had to be in the UK for certain things.
So the timing just didn't work out this time,
but I need to bring them here.
I absolutely need to bring them here.
And as much family as we possibly can persuade
to get out here, we need to bring them here
because it is another world.
So much of our family have not even been to Asia.
My sister Emily has, my sister Jazz hasn't.
She wants to do some traveling.
I don't think Lucy's sisters have.
Lucy's mom hasn't.
My mom and dad have never been to Asia.
And I just think to give them that experience,
to kind of almost show them around,
because we feel like we know Asia pretty well.
We know the Philippines pretty well.
And just to be able to do that
like Lucy did with her dad and Claire,
I would really love to do that with my mom and dad.
Hopefully we can make that a reality one day.
The sun goes down so fast here.
Honestly, it was in the sky like a minute ago,
really high and now it's just about to go behind the horizon
but it's so beautiful.
There's actually a whole like pier,
like one of the inflatable like jetty things over this way.
And it's where all the party cruises are going
in and out.
So I don't know if you can see it very well,
but it's so busy over there.
You can see people like coming on and off of the boats.
And then this way, similar situation,
loads of people out enjoying.
And people actually,
you can see the sea's gone out now to the sound bank.
It's a lot more like prominent.
Amazing.
Another Boracay sunset nearly finished.
Just comparing it to last time we were here,
like the whole party boat thing
is definitely not something I remember before.
Like boats going past with like loud music
and people like dancing and like the thuddy music
and people in the microphone,
like encouraging you to sing and stuff.
Like I don't remember that at all last time.
So Boracay definitely feels more like a party island
than I remember.
And I know that it used to be like that years ago
before it closed.
So maybe it's becoming more of that again.
There's not that many families out actually.
It's more like couples.
And there's a few kids running around,
but like not as many as I remember last time.
So maybe it's becoming more of a party island
and less like catered to families.
We're still having a great time as a family,
not to say that you can't bring families here,
but perhaps it's more for the partier these days.
I don't know if you can hear that.
Someone's going, put your hands up.
Gotta be a pretty good laugh
if they're going on one of those boats
as the sun sets on an island in the Philippines.
Amazing.
Just thought of a vlog idea.
And I think we'll have to do it when the kids are older
and we come out here on our own.
Saying yes to every beach vendor in Boracay.
We've been approached a lot already.
It's like a thing here.
It's known as kind of part of the charm.
Just imagine a video of Luz and I, the future.
We come, the guy just came down,
we're just finishing dinner.
He said, island hopping tour?
And I just imagine being like, yeah, sure.
He's like, well, when?
When do you want to go?
Well, when do you want to go?
Now?
Yeah, sure.
Let's go.
And everyone's selling the cool little wooden things.
Do you want this?
Yeah.
How many do you want?
However many you want to sell me.
Just say yes to everything.
Hair braid?
Yeah, sure.
Really?
Yeah.
What was that?
Nice steak.
Yes, I know Luz.
So the sauce.
Not only did I enjoy the dinner hair,
my T-shirt decided to enjoy the dinner hair.
Here, here, and here.
I think it's because you had...
I did not have shaky hands.
How many of these have you drunk, George?
One.
Admit it.
Three.
Yes.
And you don't drink.
I don't drink, so this is like...
That's like you haven't ate this.
I'm just enjoying, I'm just enjoying the vibes.
Good, enjoy it.
But that's why you've got a stained top.
No, no, I had that before I'd even had half the first one.
Yeah, nothing to do with it, sadly.
I'm gonna have to ask my mum to get these stains out.
She's the queen of getting stains out of clothes.
Maybe I could ship it back to her.
I've just put the camera away,
but I have to get it back out again.
We are now at that part of the sunset
that is actually my favorite,
where the sky just goes orange,
the sun's gone down about maybe 30 minutes ago,
and everything just goes this beautiful color.
Hope it's kind of coming out on camera over there.
Just stunning.
Wow, so nice.
Laser light.
Pardon?
Laser light.
Laser light?
It is a bit like a laser light, isn't it?
So nice.
And a big shark one.
I hope there's no sharks, thank you.
Yay.
I don't think there is.
Or sea animals in the sea.
There are sea animals in the sea,
but probably not sharks.
Okay, I think I'm actually gonna end the vlog here
this evening with myself and my stain on my T-shirt
that you can now see,
because I'm holding my phone light up against me.
Look at that background.
But what a great place to end the vlog.
I was gonna wait to get back to the hotel,
but I think this is a much nicer backdrop.
It is just beautiful here.
So, so nice.
So thanks so much for watching today's video.
Hope you're enjoying the Philippines videos in general,
the Asia videos in general,
Boracay in general.

Oh, we just bought this off one of the beach vendors.
He showed me, he showed us a laser,
which was crazy powerful.
It got all the way over there,
and he gave it to Koda.
I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
You're gonna blind someone.
Go, spin, spin, spin.
