Stranded on Japan’s Most Mysterious Island 🇯🇵

Stranded on Japan’s Most Mysterious Island 🇯🇵

[Music] Well guys, it’s been some journey, hasn’t it? 88 days ago, we left the UK and began the challenge to travel from the UK to Japan without flying. And after traveling by land for over 10,000 miles and just taken, unfortunately, that 45minute flight in Kazakhstan, the journey is nearly over. The end is in sight. Just across the sea behind me is Japan. Japan. So, let’s finally get there. So, we’re currently in the city of Busousan here in South Korea. And tonight, we were going to hop on a ferry to Fukaka in Japan. It was going to be another long overnight ferry for 15 hours or something. So, obviously, we didn’t fancy that cuz we just did that leaving China. So, we did some research and we seen there’s an island not so far away from Busousan called Toshima. Now, we thought it was South Korean because of how close it was, but it’s actually Japanese and we can get there by catching just a 2hour ferry nice and fast. I’m so buzzing to get back to Japan. It’s my favorite country. It’s Katarina’s first time. You excited? Yeah, of course I am. So, let the journey begin. Let’s get to Japan. checked out South Korea and got ourselves a ticket to Toshima. The price of the ticket extortionate. Tell them £55 each. 55 quid for an hour and a half on the ferry. So, we’re expecting luxury things to Japan. This is it. Look, boarding gate to Toshima. And I’m guessing that’s the ferry in a distance or that one. Let’s find out. Blime me. It’s not the biggest ferry for 200 people. But let’s see what it’s like on the inside. And there it is. That’s what £55 each gets you for an hour and a half to Japan. One of the most luxury fairies I’ve been on. Also smells a bit like piss. Can you smell piss? Could it be? Yeah, I can smell my piss. Maybe we’re next to the toilet. Anyway, is what it is. At least we have front seats. Yeah, front seats, loads of leg room. Not complaining. Gutted. I had this big speech prepared to do on top of the deck as we got close to Japan. I was going to say, “Oh, there’s Japan.” You know, we finally did it after 3 months of travel. There it is. Unfortunately, we’re locked in this room for the next hour and a half. You’re not allowed outside. So, it’s a bit of an antilimax for the big finale, but is what it is. I’ll do my speech when we get to Japan. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Japan. We did it. Oh, mate, what a feeling. Welcome to Japan. After 88 days of brutal travel, we’ve arrived in tropical paradise. What a beautiful place, Cat. It is. It is unreal, honestly. And yeah, we can finally relax at long last. No more trains, no more bus. How long? Okay. Right. Well, butter our asses. Turns out we got off the ferry at the wrong bloody part of the island. We were supposed to stay on it and let it take us to the south. But silly us, we got off at the north. So, we had to jump on that 3-hour bus. Let’s now get to the hotel, drop our bags off, and begin this Japanese adventure. Here’s our hotel here. Look, the Toyoko Inn. £45 a night. Let’s see what it gets you. Oh, room keys. Another one. Oh, two rooms. Okay, thank you. A there we go. Told you Japan’s the one. Welcome to an introvert’s dream. You see, you don’t speak to anyone at check in. do the whole checking process yourself. Then they give you the key and then boom, off we go. Let’s go see what room 401 looks like. Oh, 304. Oh, so the wrong bloody floor cat free. Here we go. Nope. Smells like seaweed. There it is. That’s our first hotel room here in Japan. The big question now is how does the toilet look? Is it Japanese? Is it heated? It bloody is. Yes. I waited years to be back on these Japanese toilets. Look at the size of it. Perfect shape for my ass. Is it heated? It’s certainly got water pressure. And it’s got the music system as well. Cat. Ladies first. Tesone. How do I do that? Well, you get your ass out and sit on it. Enjoy. Is it heated? Uh, no. I don’t know what this was. Play the music. What is going on in there? Can I come in? I don’t know how this I don’t know how to flush the for God’s sake. You just at the back. What’s that? There we go. That’s how you guys. Don’t do this cuz this is just get the jacks through my ass. Jacks through your ass. This the best toilet ever. All right, guys. We’re going to cool down here for a bit and then we’re going to hit the streets of this mysterious island. But guys, once again, welcome to wa Japan. Not much happening here on Toshima Island. There’s a few shops open, a few locals knocking around, and of course, always here in Japan, a few vendor machines. Any used underwear I can buy and sniff. As you know, there’s more vendor machines here in Japan than there are people. Did you know that? No, I didn’t. But let’s find them all. All of them. There’s over 80 million vending machines. I think that’s right. Anyway, I’ll write the correct thing below. But yeah, this is Toshima Island. Very quiet, peaceful place. But let me show you around. It’s so quiet here. It’s so silent. I feel a bit rude speaking loudly even though I’m outside on the streets. But that’s Japan for you. A very peaceful and quiet country. 80,000 people live here on Toshima Island. But look, there’s no one around. Just a few cars driving about. We’re in the city center right now. Yeah, I think so. So, we’re going to keep walking this way. See if we can see anyone. But shh, keep it down. If someone farts, you can hear it. Look at cat making rude jokes in Japan. It’s true. This is so peaceful. There’s an India cat. Oh, if it was India, it wouldn’t be like that. What was that? What the hell’s going on? This place is haunted. This place is freaking me out. Well, we’re trying our best to find some content to show you guys, but there’s literally nothing here. This is the center of Tsushima. And as you can see, yeah, not much going on. But we like it. It’s peaceful, it’s quiet, and it’s the perfect place to talk about the previous 88 days of travel. Now, I put a post out on Instagram. So, listen. Ask me any question you want about the journey, and myself and Cat are going to answer it. So, we’re going to do that right now. Starting with question number one. What was the route you chose to take? First of all, a big thank you to everyone that watched these videos all the way up to Japan. However, I get some of you haven’t seen every single one. So, let’s do a little recap of the journey from UK to Japan with that one flight. This is the itinerary we did. It consisted of 25 trains, several buses, and countless taxis. It started in my home city of Plymouth. I got a train to Dova, a ferry to Calala, a train to Paris, a taxi to the German border, two trains through Germany, and then three trains through Poland to Ukraine. Then a long train to Romania, a long bus through Romania, and a train to Bucharest where Cat joined me. Then it was three long trains to Turkey, and then another train to Anchora. Anchora is when we got a 40-hour train to cars, our longest one. And then from cars, we got several buses and taxis to Georgia. Georgia was all buses and taxis. And then, unfortunately, we got that one small flight to Kazakhstan. From there, we got a massive train through Kazakhstan for over 30 hours and then a taxi to Almati. We got a bus to the China border and then the trains through China began. Several trains through China equaling around 50 hours. From China, we then caught a ferry to South Korea and then the last train to Busousan and that’s where we caught the ferry this morning to Japan. Man, saying that out loud makes me feel sick. That was some journey. [Music] We’ve seen about three people on these streets so far. And one of them wasn’t even on the streets. He was on a boat. We’ve seen about two people walking around. It’s a very Yeah. Mysterious place. Jesus. This vending machine seen better days. Look at the state of this one. Milk and juice just rotting away inside. Hey cat, do you want some Japanese milk? Come here. Look at this one. Oh. Ah, I’ve just noticed what that is. That’s a love hotel. If you know, you know. But I heard something. The love hotels. No, not about the love. I heard something. Oh, someone moaning. Yeah, I had a couple moans as well. If you know what a love hotel is, basically they’re everywhere in Japan. It’s one of the biggest money makers here in the country. You go in, rent the room for an hour or two, do your business, and off you go. So, yeah, that was a Love Hotel back then, and we heard a bit of noise. Maybe that’s the next business. Backpacker Love Hotel. Oh, anything but trains. It’s time to test the vending machines here in Japan. Now, before when I mentioned a used underwear thing, that’s not actually a joke. You can apparently buy used underwear from a vending machine in Japan. Now, the two times I’ve been before, I couldn’t find it. But when I get to Tokyo, I’m going to try my best to find it. So, who knows? Maybe a lucky viewer, I’ll donate it to him. What are we going for, Cat? Uh, Basic H2O. Banging. What’s this place? Look, Golden Harima. Looks like a casino. Maybe this guy’s just left it. Look. Come in. Here we have a hair salon. Here we have a barbers. And then here it appears we got some old abandoned I don’t know theater or something. And that’s pretty much it. Cat, not much is it? Not much going on. Not much. That’s going to be our best interaction here on the island. So I think it’s time for question number two. Karina, tell me how much money did you spend in the entire trip? remind people they set up a budget of £3,000 for both of us. Probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever said. The worst prediction ever. I spent £3,000. By the time I got to Germany, Europe killed me. And then it just kept getting, you know, pricey as we as we traveled. But yeah, here we go. I spent £9,000. £9,000 in 88 days. where we spent £9,000. Is that good or not? I don’t know. I mean, we’ve traveled a long way. Countless trains, countless buses, countless hotels. Hotels are the killer. That one flight. So, yeah. 9,000. I think the trains 50 quid trains is each time adds up quite quick. It adds up. It’s been an expensive journey. I’ll be honest, guys. N grand. So, that brings us to a little page we’ve set up on Patreon. Now, if you know what Patreon is, it’s a way of helping support the creators that you watch. And in our situation, help support our suffering on these long, expensive journeys. Now, I’ve always had comments over the years saying, “Ben, set up a Patreon like every other YouTuber does.” So, we finally done it. Cat’s going to run it, and yeah, we hope to see you guys on there. Obviously, Cat quit a job to pursue this YouTube lifestyle. And we ain’t stopping there, believe me. We got a mega trip lined up in Africa next year or this year, who knows, Asia, and of course, South America’s lined up. So, it’s going to be well, a lot more brutal journeys. So, yeah, link is in the description below for Patreon, and we hope to see you guys on there. Thanks very much. One crucial thing you must do in Japan, a very important rule is even though the light is red, look, and there’s no one around, not a single person around, you still got to wait. That’s how they do it in Japan. Oh, it’s green. So now we can walk no matter what. Even if there’s no one around for miles, you still wait. That’s the rules. Back in the hotel room, as you’ve seen, not much going on here. So, we’re gonna wait it out. Apparently at 8:00 p.m. in 2 hours time, the pub opens down the street. So, we’ll see what happens at 8:00 p.m. Oh my god. Well, we’re back on the streets. It’s now 8:00. The pub’s around the corner, but still, there’s no one on the streets. It’s such a freaky place. Cat’s scared. I’m like, don’t worry, we’re in Japan. As spooky as it feels, we’re safe. But yeah, here we go. This is the center. There’s a guy on a bike there. And that’s it. So, let’s check out this pub. It’s around this corner. Cat’s freaking out. Don’t pay. This place is spooky. And she just said, “I hope Jack the Stripper doesn’t come out and murder her.” Do you mean Jack the Ripper by any chance? Well, probably. Is that like very well-known creepy murder? Jack the Ripper, not Jack the Stripper. Anyway, look, the casino’s still open. And apparently the pub is down here on the left. So, let’s get in there. You’re having a laugh. It’s bloody closed. Look. Q’s Darts and Pool Bar. Meant to open at 8. It’s closed. Nightmare. What are we going to do in this town? There’s nothing to do. No, I tell you what. We’re going to get a drink from Family Mart. Family Mart. You know what Family Mart is? Basically a 7-Eleven. It’s around the corner. We just had some food there. And I guess that’s what we’re going to do tonight. Yeah, that’s it. Our first night in Japan. Family Mart. I refuse to spend my first night back in Japan at a family mart. As much as I love a Family Mart and a 7-Eleven, I need a proper meal to end my first day here. I’ve seen horror movies like this before. Those Japanese horror movies. It’s exactly like that. Anyway, we can’t give up. There must be something down here. A restaurant or a bar. Yeah. Look at this. How is this the center? I can hear noise up there. It must be a love hotel. Where did you block me? I don’t know. I do apologize. You showed me these amazing little corridors, which they were. Yeah. Of Toshima. That’s where we got off the port. They had like beaches and stuff up there. And obviously we’ve traveled down here and well, ghost city. Well, at least we have a Oh, at least we got a vending machine. Maybe that’s going to be our dinner tonight. Cut family. Oh, just drinks. What the hell was that noise? [Music] I’ll give you 100 quid to go up there. Miles 200 300 15,000. Look at that. Looks like a ghost. Oh my god, it does. There’s a ghost face in the wall. We’re in a ghost city. Here we go. Now there’s eggs on the front. Oh, look at this. Perfect. Got ramen. Oh, now we’re talking. So, I think we finally found the restaurant. Here’s the menu. Yeah, this is it. with some ramen. Let’s try it. Oh, perfect. There we go. [Music] So, basically here in Japan in these little cafes, you don’t order with the waitress. You come in there, type it into the machine, and then they bring the food to you. You also pay at the machine. So, there’s basically no interaction. There we go. I can’t remember what happens now. I guess they just bring it to me. Shoes off. Cat with shoes off. Oh, look at this. Buzzing. Welcome to Japan. Cat. Does not get more Japanese than this. Sat on the floor cross-legged. Oh, cat’s got Austin Powers. Who’s that? Who’s that? Looks like Austin Powers, but a weirder version. Ah, beautiful. Aligato. That’s banging, right? Oh, there it is. That’s you, guys. You cannot beat Japanese food, let me tell you. Cheers. That’s you. Unreal. Unreal. Dumplings have arrived. Listen, guys, you know me. I don’t sugarcoat anything. I say it how it is. If the food’s bad, I say it’s bad. But here in Japan, you simply can’t fault it. Unbeatable 10 out of 10 food. Well, I think it’s time to end the video here and continue filming in the morning. Not much to say really. You’ve seen what this place is like. Eerie, spooky, not much to see. But either way, great to be back in Japan. I hope you can hear me from this wind. It’s crazy. Anything you want to say? Couldn’t get more random than this. One of the most random places we’ve ever been on this channel here at Tsushima. Anyway, catch you in the morning. We’re going to get a ferry tomorrow to a big city called Fukaka. So, a lot more lively than this. Anyway, catch you in the morning. Morning all. It’s the next day here in Toshima and it’s time to leave. We were actually originally going to book three or four days here. Can you imagine that? I was going to book four days in that hotel. Good job. I only booked one because as you seen, bless you. There’s nothing to do. So, we’re now going to get to the ferry terminal, which is down here, and hopefully get a ferry to Fuku Kaka. It’s like 3 or 4 hours or something. So, let’s get there. As always, not many people around, but we think that’s the ferry. So, let’s get in and try to get some tickets. Got to fill in a form to buy the tickets. Cats on the job. Secretary uh second class reserved. Just do second class reserves. I don’t know. I don’t know. Two tickets secured. £75 for the journey to Fukaka. And we believe that is the ferry for the next four or five hours. Pretty old rusty one, but it will do. Oh, wow. Look at this. Very smart. Shoes off. Look at this as well. This even is clearly a very old ferry. The Japanese just do things right. Look at this. We’ve got our own room. I just copied the neighbor cuz I just seen What’s that? That sick bag. Oh, what’s going on? Cat’s learning the uh Japanese culture. Ah, it’s cuz he’s done it now like put a thing on his pillow. Is that what you got to do? Yeah. Just Yeah. Then you lay flat. That’s a plastic bag, isn’t it? Yeah. I’m pretty sure that’s a sick bag. Is it? I think it is. Couldn’t sleep on the floor. It was hurt at my hips. So, I moved up on the sofa. Cat’s still having a snooze. Looking like a slug all cowled up. So, let’s h go check out the rest of this ferry. So, of course, myself and Cat have the secondass tickets, but as you seen, there’s no one on this ferry. There’s like six people on this ferry, and we’ve all been put in separate rooms, separate secondass rooms. But what they do have is first class option, which is down here. And as you can see, it’s identical to what myself and Cat are sleeping in, but less people, less beds, more room, more space. So, these are the first class options. There you go. I think this costs like 75 quid. 75 quid gets you this on the ferry. And then, of course, you’ve got second class where myself and cat are, but there’s hardly anyone on this ferry, which I’ve shown you. There’s one room here. One man’s there. There’s cat all curled up like a slug. All right, let’s go outside. Here we go. Oh, what’s this? Is that a casino? Slot machines. Caught my foot in a bloody door. [ __ ] me that. There you go. You can even gamble here on the ferry. Very ancient old machines. Looks like these have been around since the 80s. But you got the option. You put your coins in there and then off you go. Look at this. Many of you won’t remember these games growing up, but I certainly do, cuz this was prime childhood. Video game, Errol City, Sega. If you know, you know. Look at this. We got Tetris. What a game this was growing up. This was my childhood right here. Shout out to all the ‘ 90s and ‘ 80s kids. Anyway, let’s go outside. Right, let’s go downstairs. Let’s see what’s going on. Passing there. Oh, there’s another room here. Look. What the? No way. Well, it turns out there’s more people on this ferry. I had no idea. Yeah, I don’t know if they were on this before we arrived, but yeah, I’ve stumbled across this secret well massive room, which I’m guessing is economy cuz well, look at it. Everyone’s just in one big room. But 100% I would have rather have done this one, better content. Two, I would have saved myself some money. 75 quid we paid for those tickets upstairs. I wasn’t happy about it. And to be honest, I didn’t even know you could buy these tickets. And this 100% would have been cheaper. We bought the wrong tickets. We paid 75 quid, right, for these two tickets. Go look downstairs. Trust me. It’s luxury. Well, it’s luxury to what we’re used to, but a lot cheaper. Go check it out. Sits. No, it’s awesome. You’re actually kidding me. You’re kidding me. It’s the same thing. Same thing. Yeah. Why did we buy this one? It wasn’t a ticket, but we didn’t understand what was. 5 hours later on this awesome ferry. We have arrived at Fukuaka. Welcome. I love the little bow they do here in Japan and in South Korea. So polite. Anyway, let’s get a taxi and get to the hostel. Need to whisper. Feel so rude talking public out loud. This is so cute. All the taxi drivers, little clubs, little hands. They’re so cute. Now, to keep this Japanese vibe going, we’ve booked a capsule hotel. Now, if you know what those are, basically a big dorm that are everywhere in Japan, and they put like 50 beds into a room. And the photos we’ve seen online, it looks like 50 beds in one room. Like separate little pods. So cat’s in a female pod. I’m in the male pod. And it’s called 9 hours. It’s across the street. Let’s get in there. It’s called 9 hours. Hopefully I get 9 hours sleep. Obviously I’ve done countless capsule hotels in my time, many in Japan on previous trips. But it’s cat’s first one. meet your uh need my bags inside. Okay, I got Hi, cat. She’s checked in. Enjoy your pod. Right, let’s see where we’re spending the night. Cat’s gone up to our pod. Now I’m off to mine. Let’s see. Right. So, seventh to drop my bag off. Just to make things a bit more confusing, my locker is on the seventh floor. My pod is on the third. Is this my locker? How does it work? How the hell do I get in? Can’t figure it out. I’ve got the bloody barcode. It’s not doing it. Am I really that dumb? Am I doing something stupid here? But that’s the barcode that gets you in the elevator. Why is it not Why is it not working? Excuse me. How do you do this, please? Can’t figure it out. Yeah, I have a hard time. Ah, is it this way? Mine’s not working. Yeah, sometime you need to try. Ah, thanks, brother. from Thailand. Oh, you’re from Thailand. Gabon. Cheers, mate. Where you from coming from? England. England. Yeah. Thanks, man. And my pod is on floor three. I’ve got to be really quiet now, so I won’t be doing any talking. So, let me give you a grand tour. Here we go. Nervous. Oh my god. 35 352. This is mine. Oh my god. Look at that. And there it is. Welcome to my sleeping pod here in Japan. 18 quid. What a [ __ ] Are you in? Show us. Oh, it’s the same as mine. It’s the same as mine. Doesn’t get more Japanese than where we are right now. Yeah, they even have a like wood um slipper slippers type thing. Well, like there he’s got slippers on and a robe. Well, guys, we’re trying to find a pub to have a beer. And this is the street where all the pubs are normally and all the bars, but none of them are open until 8:00 p.m. or even 10:00 p.m. The only pub that’s open right now, 6:00, is a British pub. It’s called British Pub Morris Hippo, and it’s down here on the right. You can always count on the Brits to open up a pub anywhere around the world and keep open all day. So, let’s go have one pint and then we’ll hit the Japanese places. I can see it. Look, Morris Hippo British Pub. It looks like a weather spoons. Oh, look at it. It looks beautiful. British pub Morris Hippo. Let’s see what they do. Hello, Fukuaka. One point and one half point, please. [Music] Did you see the British guys in there? Yeah, I did. There was a couple British BS in there drinking on their own. Typical. On uh what day is it? Monday. Monday. Monday evening. So, cheers, cat. Cheers to Japan. Cheers. The hell is that? You always have the worst one. Why did I say yes to you? I was going to It’s a local beer. It’s a local beer. I was going to go for a hineken. We’re ranking it. Just had to nip back to the hotel for a quick shower. Can’t change your outfit. Honestly, it is boiling here in Japan. We’re sweating our tits off. And we need a drink. And luckily here in Japan, they’ve got orange juice machines. Look, freshly squeezed. There’s the oranges. Cat, stick the money in. Juice me up. If this machine was in the UK, some scumbag would have smashed it up and started sucking on these oranges. But here in Japan, all is safe. You ready? Dancing. Is it working? Oh, yeah. Here we go. Oh. Oh, it even comes with a little cellophane wrapper. Good. [Music] He has a YouTube. Look, he’s a YouTuber. YouTube Instagram. Instagram as well. Oh, here he is. There he is. There’s Rico. No way. Oh, look. Good luck. Okay. Good luck, Rico. Bye-bye. So, that was Rico the cat. probably the best interaction I’m going to get here in Japan. But yeah, this is Fukuaka and to be honest, there’s not much going on. It’s a pretty chilled city compared to obviously Osaka, Tokyo, and all these other places where we’re going to go. So, yeah, it’s pretty chill, but it’s nice. We’re now going to try and find a cocktail bar to end the night. Look at that. Look, that bike does not have a lock on it. And you see that quite a lot in Japan. Most of the bikes don’t have locks or nothing. I’m going to say it again. Would you see that in the UK? No, you bloody won’t. Some scumbag will nick it. So, yeah. Safety in Japan. Love it. Lips. Exciting adult club. If Katerina wasn’t here, I’ll be straight in. So, you joking. Listen, we’re going home. We’ve been walking around for a bit. There’s not much going on. I’ll be honest. It’s quite quiet and it’s Tuesday night. So, this place probably gets a bit more action Friday and Saturday. We’ve tried to go in some bars, but it’s all it’s all like love bars, so I don’t fancy talking. Yeah, I don’t fancy doing that either. Anyway, we’re now going to go back to the hotel. Well, go back to our capsule pod and try to get some sleep. Hopefully, 9 hours. Got about 6 hours sleep. I need to rename that hostel 6 hours. How do you do? Three. What happened? What happened? I had a snorer. The biggest snorer of my life above me. Above me. Above me. She had a terrible night. So no more capsule hotels. No more pods. Oh, was not expecting that. Maybe cross the road. Prime example here. Look, there’s no cars around. We can easily walk. It’s like a 6T. Look at that. Can easily walk it. But it’s red. So, we’re going to stay here until it goes green. Another one. What’s going on here? What’s happening? Cat. We’re the only ones. Everyone’s doing it. Has things changed in Japan in recent years? I haven’t been here for 3 years. You wouldn’t dare do that 3 years ago. Especially 8 years ago when I first came. Oh, it’s green. Here we go. The reason I walked on a red light is because it’s so bloody hot here. It’s like 40°. Hence me wearing a hat. You’ve never seen me wear a hat cuz I look stupid wearing them. What do you think? Do I look like Liam Gallagher or that guy from Kevin and Perry? Anyway, this is the station. Let’s go in and get out of the city. [Music] [Music] Now, because it’s so bloody hot, we’ve decided to get out of the city center, Fukuaka. as we’ve hopped on that 30-minute train, come to the outskirts, and we’ve arrived at the beach. At long last, we’re finally going to have a swim. After 3 months of sweaty trains and buses, it’s time to cool down. So, up this way, apparently, is a nice hidden beach. Let’s go check it out. That way. How do we get to the beach, please? Yeah, I think she says that way. This is not a swimmable beach. Oh, really? Oh, that way. This way. I can walk walking. Oh, yes, please. Oh. Aligato. And that is why Japan is the best country in the world right there. Amazing people. We really appreciate it. It’s so hot outside. We got a train from Fukuaka. Yeah. Yeah. England. Portugal. Portugal. Spain. Yeah, and here thank you so much. Thank you. This way. Okay, Alexato. Bye-bye. Nice to meet you. Oh man, what a lovely lady. She just drove us like 10 minutes. I thought it was going to be just a couple minutes walk drove us all the way this way. Look at this. Down this way is the beach apparently. Welcome to Japanese paradise. Windy Japanese paradise. So hopefully you can hear me. But yeah, there’s about 10 people here at this beach. So let’s have a much needed dip. We’ve had an absolute nightmare. We were just about to get in and then a guy that works in a shed up there on the left came running over saying, “No, no, no, no, no, no swimming. No swimming.” We’re like, “Why?” I don’t know why he didn’t explain, but he just said, “No swimming.” So, he works here on the beach. So, that lady saying you can’t swim up there on that part of the beach. And this guy is saying he can’t swim here. So, I don’t know what’s going on, but yeah, I guess this beach you just can’t swim on. So, basically, we’ve come here for no reason. Fantastic. Cat is not happy.
