[video] 0:13 Hey man, where are we? We are in this place. La Amigo? La Amigos?

0:24 Amigos.

[video] 0:24 Yeah. And we're waiting to check in. Okay. And this is Tenerife. Hostel. And we're gonna stay here for one night. And then the adventure begins!

0:46 We are trespassing again. Are we trespassing? Well, hopefully. Sort of. It's some garden but unfortunately the camera isn't gonna pick it up in the dark. Oh shit, some wire.

[video] 0:58 Yeah, watch out.

1:29 Sunrise is coming People like to play golf here

1:53 and drink beer.

1:57 Beach here. On the sea here. While hunting deer.

2:03 Made in Greece. Maybe they'll have some there. You think so? I think so. Yo yo yo, we are in Los Cristianos. Came with the bus from the hostel. Waiting for the ferry and gonna go to La Gomera.

2:29 that's a very thick tree you can't even see the blue sky never seen that before

3:00 All right, we are on the ferry now, going to La Gomera. Well, it didn't start yet, but soon. And my impressions so far are, even though I haven't been here 24 hours yet, is that the food is... There's no real choice of food so far. And we haven't seen anything, I guess. But the supermarket definitely had nothing. And here also, just a lot of nonsense. And...

3:28 three people already told me to put on a t-shirt and so here i put it on and i couldn't imagine living here because of that kind of stuff for example but then again i suppose it's like that everywhere um not so much the people seemed a bit hostile but maybe that's because i'm a tourist i'm not sure

4:19 First impression? Comment? On what? On Lagomera.

[video] 4:24 I'd like to see if you can film those houses that are on top of the mountain. It seems much more pleasant.

4:52 Yes, I can complain. Yeah, boiler too. Awesome, yeah.

[video] 5:02 Yeah. Got fruit.

5:04 And we can cook here.

5:10 Some carbs. Carb the fuck up.

[video] 5:15 Raisin blood sugar, baby. Perfect. My little baby.

[video] 5:24 Yeah, that's so sweet.

5:26 That's cute.

[video] 5:27 Oh, man, I love this. Yeah. It's great. Let's take a shower. Oh, cool.

5:38 Bath! Oh, definitely taking a bath.

[video] 5:42 They have a... Like a shower thing? Yes, yes. Yeah, well, they have that, whatever that is. What is this? Gel de douche.

5:58 I have a shampoo if you want.

[video] 6:00 No, I don't have any hair.

6:02 True.

[video] 6:06 No hair, no problem.

6:11 Cool.

6:15 Hopefully we will see such a forest. Very blue sky. Very blue. Oh la la.

[video] 6:24 This way or that way?

6:27 Your way! Oops, I let my psycho out. Sorry, I'll go back to being a goat.

6:48 Thank you for watching.

7:32 Very nice color We went to the restaurant, I had some rabbit and fish and Nicolas had some omelette, whatever. And now we're gonna go get some stuff and possibly head up to one of these hills.

8:20 They don't look too healthy, do they?

8:26 I suppose.

[video] 9:12 We will take...

10:04 We are in Playa Santiago now. Gonna go get some food for Nicolas and then we will head to the so-called hippie place where people live in caves and such. That's the thing I was looking forward to the most. So I'm quite excited for that.

10:22 The first time I see a banana tree.

10:30 All these boots are good for climbing

11:11 We are almost at the hippie place now. Just took a swim. The water here is quite different than what I'm used to from my childhood in Latvia. it's a lot saltier the color is more blue than green and the smell is also a lot just more pleasant than what i'm used to from the sea back there so definitely recommended to swim here oh yeah

11:43 We are here but I can pretty much tell you almost 100% that the people here will not want to be filmed because most of them seem to be naked.

[video] 12:05 Sending these two postcards.

[video] 12:09 Going from airport to Valladengre

[video] 12:14 from taxi from from airport airport to what from our part of all the good and they okay five minutes five minutes thank you hey what's up you probably won't be able to see it but I'm red like a tomato I really gotta watch out with the Sun here

12:45 Going back to San Sebastian.

13:08 I'm Frank Johnson.

[video] 13:30 And he mentions white skin a lot.

[video] 13:45 To the ground, to the ground, ground While I was back in town I ain't got no fuckin' chain I ain't got no down and rain Yeah, I'm just a Timberlake All these bitches know my name If you see me, I can blow it Then you know I got the blade If you see me on the stage You know I got the blade Honey, beer's in my pocket But that shit is not for me I feed it to my brother Watch it drop down to the knees I'm a session girl I got the

[video] 14:17 Unfortunately it's not possible to pick this up with the camera but the sky here is incredibly clear

14:46 They say that these islands have the clearest skies in the world, and as far as I'm concerned, that's true. The stars are actually shining, but I've never seen so many at once. My sunburn has gone down a little bit, but I'm gonna go buy a cap, which I've never worn. Usually they look stupid, but I don't want to totally damage my skin at this point.

15:18 The first church we actually found. It's open.

15:46 Let's go train. Prayer.

15:52 we just found these interesting round avocados they look different than the ones i know i suppose they grow them here if anyone knows comment rate subscribe instagram me whoa

[video] 16:22 Look how red this guy is. Look how... Yeah. Look out. It's a red man in town. We're waiting for the bus.

17:03 No, the next street I think. I don't think this is the way. She said a street, it's not a street. We just missed our bus back. We went to an organic shop here and it's cloudy, thankfully, so I didn't buy the cap and there's no need for it now anyway. It's quite pleasant.

17:32 So this is another place where people sleep on the beach. 10 minutes walk from Vala Renre.

17:46 The black sand in his hand.

19:44 The first chemclouds I've seen here in La Gomera.

19:51 We are about to leave this apartment and then we are going to go to the middle of La Gomera to the forest and in the evening back to Tenerife.

20:13 I just bought this bracelet for someone and it's quite nice. It's made out of lava from Tenerife.

20:24 Do you know the genre black metal? Like the music genre?

[video] 20:28 No.

20:28 No? This is totally black metal.

20:33 No, I'm just wondering if she knows it.

[video] 20:43 Beans or mushrooms, I don't know.

20:47 Oh, just a little deja vu. What the hell?

[video] 20:49 I don't think they are safe, but... Maybe it's too wet.

[video] 20:59 Maybe because of the humidity, but... There are buttons.

[video] 21:18 I can't even see him now. Venga.

[video] 21:27 Sorry.

[video] 21:29 Please.

[video] 21:33 Oh my god, I think he's dying.

21:35 I think he's just... Just trying to protect himself. Yeah, I think so.

21:42 Like acting dead, that's kind of typical, I think.

[video] 21:45 We are in a cloud right now quite literally Can't see anything No

22:24 So, thoughts on Lagomera?

[video] 22:26 Beautiful landscapes. Nice people overall.

22:35 Yeah. Interesting. A lot nicer than on Tenerife. Much more relaxed, greener.

22:47 I would stay here if I wanted to stay at a beach at Vala Gran Re with a tent. I could totally imagine that. If I came back to the canneries I would check out La Palma and some other islands for the nature also.

23:17 It's Nicolas' last day here.

23:32 I definitely prefer La Gomera over this soft side of Tenerife, this commercial McDonald's, Burger King everywhere. I didn't see one of them in La Gomera. Not planning to do much the next few days after Nicolas leaves.

23:49 Maybe go to some villages and just explore everything around here.

[video] 24:16 I want your motherfucking and your motherfucking stereo and I'll take a double burger with cheese. What?

[video] 24:44 It's like, welcome to California. Okay, yeah. I don't know.

[video] 25:12 And kick it back

[video] 25:45 Not bad. An English teacher at the time. And then lost my job to, they were, the course, the classes were

[video] 26:12 Adelaide is over here, Perth over there and Darwin over there. So what I did is I went from Sydney to Melbourne.

[video] 26:39 But this one is amazing.

26:42 Have you seen Until the Light Takes Us, the documentary?

[video] 26:45 Not yet. I want to. Because I saw, or I have this book, Lords of Chaos. He's writing about these guys and glorifying them without criticizing their fascist ideology. It's like, well, whatever. It's music. Just spend like most of Saturday just watching shit on YouTube about that and other things. Just to see if there's any new information.

27:07 Yeah, right. Yeah, that's also what I used to do. There's this guy called Richard Hall.

[video] 27:12 he he's like really open about it but has like super good arguments about the planes and stuff and yeah did you ever see the lone gunman white rocks or no this is just some marine layer it's salt but there he's got like both you see how that one rocks are very soft and all it means is that they hit water and they cool down faster yeah

[video] 27:43 I think it was pretty well beat up. Yeah. Like, I used to have one of those.

28:40 What's up, man?

[video] 29:00 I lost it in the sun. That was the top spin.

[video] 29:10 He walks like a dude, dresses like a dude, and yet, she apparently does like dudes, but it's really hard to figure out which ones. We're at the store right now. And, uh... You'll probably have to set it sharper.

29:23 Yeah, okay. Okay, now.

[video] 29:27 Okay. This is right here. Fine Spanish garlic. The best garlic in... like, in here. Um... If you walk further, you're going to see a bunch of bananas. Look.

[video] 29:44 Bananas, bananas.

[video] 29:47 Yeah. Right now, we're going to look for Brad.

[video] 29:53 Hey, Brad. Bismarck. What are you looking for? Fish, but too much pickled fish. Fish. It smells like this. But it's named after Audubon Bismarck, so it must be good. Ah, schmand. I've never seen that. You mix this with a cracker and it's not so bad. And look on the other side, it's puna agra. Schmand. This guy, yeah. You take the camera. Big guy. No, sir. No, sir. Go for the ketchup. It's not always ketchup. It's just tomate frito. And I don't know what that means. Maybe it's ketchup. Every time I go to Spain, someone famous dies. One of the Ramones died when I was in Madrid one time. Oh, good for you.

30:40 No, no, you can take the other road.

[video] 30:42 Oh, there's another road? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. Go. Here. Here.

31:03 Yesterday was a pretty cool day and just meeting new people every day because they come and go is worth it already. Staying here, there's not much around here, I walked pretty much everywhere. It was pretty great to just lay back.

[video] 31:42 These ones are more difficult to put on than the others I have because they're really an exact fit. I have another pair that actually my feet just slide in and it takes a few seconds but this one for some reason it's very tight and it's harder.

[video] 32:24 You know, Led Zeppelin hard rock style and I actually have seen that in the snack in Paris. By the way, the market you mentioned is to the left like... Yeah, after this roundabout. After or here? I would say after, I think. Okay.

[video] 32:54 So this is it. The pulpo salad down there. Except for fish, I really don't eat meat. Yeah, the standard of living is slightly lower in terms of, you know... Income. Income is definitely lower. My income is lower, but... How about that? This is food sex, man. I'm new to food porn.

[video] 33:23 I'm sure that has happened. I bet every month, two or three people. Apparently last night, you know one of the French guys who were drinking and stuff, the three guys, one of them was so pissed, he couldn't even find his bed, he slept on the floor. This is good. We're going on a beef trip!

33:51 We just came to Santa Cruz. Last day in Tenerife. It's great. Best holiday ever for sure.

[video] 34:13 Peace.

[video] 34:16 This is the... So whoever they are, they're all artists. A lot of people.

[video] 34:29 Look at Bano. And Bano. Bano? Oh yeah! Bano. Hi Doris and Tom! I'm here in Tenerife and I'm being filmed. I had to say hello, so here, hello! You look so bad. And then once the... That's why they act like they don't do a shred? But you're not there. I'm not there. Are you heading there? I wanted to do that.

[video] 35:16 Are you going to have anything else? If the illegal immigrants from Mexico weren't in the States... Hey, come on. That's the reason why everything is fucking cheap. Because they're Mexicans. That's the reason why everything is cheap. Maybe instead of taking the helicopter... Hey, I've been to India. I've been three fucking months in India. I've seen the worst people in the world. I've lived alongside with them. The difference between poor people in India and poor people in America is that poor people in America don't want to work. And poor people in India are begging for work. You know? It's like, oh, the country owes me.

36:04 That's not true. We're walking around in La Laguna now.

36:12 We're walking in La Laguna.

[video] 36:16 Do you want bottle or do you want draft beer or bottle? Bottle. Okay. Bottle beer. No caña y...

36:51 Total chemclouds today As bad as in Berlin But most of the times it was sunny Bye bye

37:23 It's not that cold. It's over 20 degrees different, but it's okay.
