good morning good morning to all you

lovely people out there this is another

day in paradise

it doesn't seem to end really but uh

can't complain at all yesterday Toby and

I sailed from tobelo 20 miles south down

to an island called MIDI Island this one

here behind me and we're now anchored

outside Metis cottage we'd heard about

this from from Mike and the guys off

prime mover another catamaran that had

been here for a while thanks guys for

the tip because this place is turned out

to be pretty freaking epic run by Adi

and maxi I started that two years ago

built this entire place crazy man I

worked I've put in but before just so

good and the food is amazing here anyway

so I won't go on too much about that

I'll let the pictures speak for

themselves a maxi it's a French guy

architect he's actually going to be

guiding us up here behind me you

probably can't see it too much but

there's a big lot of smoke coming out

that's the second most active volcano in

the world apparently so we're gonna

wander up there tomorrow it's a bit of a

mission actually not much of a wander at

all it's a four-hour hike up but anyway

it sounds pretty epic and I might even

make two videos about this depending on

how good the content is because I've

never been up a volcano but I can

imagine this pretty good footage to be

had especially with my new drone to back

in action so yeah only though I'm maxi

and how do you explain this a bit more

anyway hope you enjoy

[Music]

welcome to methey so tomorrow we're

going up to the volcano the nearest from

here

so do kono is an active volcano that's

smoking all along always and we can see

it right from here on the front of the

jetty constant active since 33 why it

was big eruption constant blowing out

and so we will go from here directly

past a tomato and then from the mooyah

is down the village we will get through

the coconuts

with a motorbike and then they will

leave us in the last field of the

coconut and from there we will start to

walk through the jungle and then we we

end up discovering the black sand

landscape the starting and then we have

the view from the camp we have the view

of the Dukan oh and you guys are

organizing everything for us

yes sure what do we need to bring so

just bring your medicine your own

medicine and shoes and shoes yeah for

sure and clothes and clothes

yeah that's your private things but the

rest we are organizer you tent food ten

food transportation the weather you

organize the weather the weather

unfortunately we won't but we can do it

sorry

awesome well it's gonna be pretty fun I

never walked up a live volcano before

did Euterpe nah no never been up a lot

of it is it dangerous for sure there is

a danger there is a parameter usually

not to cross so we cross it to go to the

crater and yeah and then the active

volcano we don't know tomorrow we

we can take it easy we have a breakfast

here and we ate

[Music]

[Applause]

very

[Music]

Oh

[Music]

today we climb to corner the world's

most second action volcano

we're taking the motorbikes up to the

bottom of the hill a minister for our

walk from there and we stay the night up

there

[Applause]

[Music]

okay it's a pretty pretty bumpy track up

here and it's time to rain and getting

slippery of these we're not the lightest

guys and then we've got like all our

equipment cameras and food and water and

pretty heavy these are the kids are

doing pretty good on these scooters but

I feel sorry pull the little machine is

sitting it's smashing but oh well saving

us the wool

and already and my labor started

just being my son put one

at the end of the way for the boat

walking the rest of the way now the boys

will come and pick us up tomorrow on the

way back down now we're silent and

walking in the forest about 400 or 500

meters above sea level now and this is

the last of the fruit groves we're

walking through these are all coconut

and this trees here around there nutmeg

this whole region is famous for the

Spice Islands famous for nutmeg and

cinnamon and things like that so this is

all nutmeg trees are walking through

here and then there's coconut groves

obviously everywhere big coconut trees

like this

[Applause]

[Applause]

it is raining very very hard like who's

going to attempt to camp under and have

a coffee until it stops happy to have my

subject bag with me today my camera

gives in here my drone and it is

spouting down the Rainier nearly stopped

raining since it's quite a bit brighter

back here but well that was a half way I

just complete tropical break-in downpour

but like I we came across some people

who had a little it was tense it up here

and they brought us some coffee but

pretty cold now actually like just

sitting there and shivering and in the

in the tent but yeah we're going to

start walking even that's still raining

now we'll keep walking and warm up again

I think it's just a big microclimate up

here because there's a volcano

and literally walking up a creek bed

normally the track but it's been raining

so hard it's just turned into a little

river

so this is our tract across here we

might have to wait for a little oh it's

a little bit dangerous run Alvin

hello Jerry

in theory it washed over you go down

this waterfall here whoo risky risky

[Applause]

well we all made it across safely those

pretty dangerous probably and hoping the

other won't be any water left here just

right now

well I love this [ __ ] there's another

river crossing that we probably would

have to wait a while for at all of this

to three adventuring in the forest here

and crazy rainstorms and pushing crazy

noises everywhere and yeah this is

adventure it's just what I love it's

what I live for

it's live shrank goes across here and up

the bank second crossing

this trail is pretty awesome

but I guess you can see our big smiles

I'm loving this this is so cool

so it started off in the sea level in

the town drove on the motorbikes up

through the coconut groves into the

Nutmeg forest into the rain forest where

it rained a lot and then now we've

climbed out of the rain forest and we're

sort of into the sort of bambooee sort

of stuff I guess we're gaining altitude

hey don't owe me how do you Rufus what

does that mean in English tired you can

see the ocean there nearly there it's

definitely a bit of a bit of a scramble

up here

it's nice walking on bare feet though

though it's nice volcanic soil there's

only been a few rocky places but yeah

how cool is this work pretty high now I

think we're not far from our caves on

yes we made it to the volcano ish sort

of place we're not at the crater we're

going to go up there in the morning but

this is the start of it so we made it up

to base camp over here down here you can

see tent got a little spot there in

between two little rivers hopefully if

it doesn't rain too much we walked in La

Crosse this flats down here we came

through that that gap there walked

across these flats came up here here you

can see the ocean down there and then up

behind me that's where we're going

tomorrow that's due gonna do go [ __ ]

I've forgotten I keep forgetting that

one yeah it's the second most active

volcano in the world I don't think it's

the second most vicious volcano it just

erupts every five minutes apparently and

you can just hear it rumbling a lot of

the time but so we're going to walk up

there in the morning pretty cool though

it's pretty a Martian sort of landscape

up here you super excited to see

tomorrow now
