Rough Day in the Philippines 😭 It's Not Going Well in Bantayan Island
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- We're still in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island in the Philippines but things aren't going as planned. Unfortunately Trevor has a cold and we had to cancel our plans for the day.
However, we're still going to make the best of the day and we head out to explore more of Bantayan and visit some amazing beaches. Bantayan is known for beautiful beaches and it certainly doesn't disappoint.
After picking up some lunch at World Touch Cafe: (goo.gl/maps/2msjKW62nVD6MFEE8) we make our way to Sugar Beach. Here we relax for awhile, have our lunch, enjoy the water and meet some beach dogs.
Later we head back into town and grab a coffee here: goo.gl/maps/9jtTBdM6wpmsgX2z9
We also talk about ESIM cards which we've been using lately with the app Airalo.

🤙
Awe I’m sorry you’re sick Trevor I hope you feel better soon. I think bring outdoors when you are under the weather is a good thing, it’s better than staying in doors. The beaches are just dancing, I am watching your video like 😮 I really want to be there. Take care guys
Love the video. Always great to hear the good and the bad. Thank for all the great videos.
🙏
Thanks again for another great video! Glad to see below that Trevor’s feeling much better and hope things sort out OK with your eyes Anna. Am really glad you keep it real, please don’t change - it’s one of the reasons I love watching you guys, I think you’re both great 🥰
So appreciate that Julie 🤗 We'll keep on 'keeping' it real for sure hehe - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers 🤗
Wow!,I hit d likes and watch all d ads.
🙏
Feeling under the weather is NEVER fun. Worse when you’re trying to make content or just enjoying a nice day. Hope you feel better soon🙏🤞🤙✌️
Def didn't want to film that day ha - Trevor
I’m looking forward to see videos on you featuring my beautiful province of Bohol. Can’t wait to see videos of you.
Get ready! There’s a few on the way - Anna
Glad you're feeling better
The beach looked amazing. You didn’t sound sick. Sorry your feeling sick. The sun always helps. Hopefully you feel better soon .
Feeling great now thanks James - Trevor
Great!!
Thanks for the video even though you felt bad Trevor! I always enjoy the realness of your videos. And thank you for the Aíralo suggestion. I signed up with your code. 🤘🏼
Thanks for using our code Matty! It’s a great little app that has come in so handy while travelling - Trevor
Always a good video thank you Trevor and Anna!
🤙
Nice update no matter what the challenges are when traveling. Love the content.
🥰
Thanks for another awesome video. Hope you are feeling better Trevor and that you didn’t catch it Anna!!
I'm feeling great now and Anna did not catch it - Trevor
get well soon , take care and enjoy travel.....
🙏
Beautiful beach indeed! Trevor, sip
black coffee, its good for a headache. You're both very lovable!
🤗
Feel better soon!
🙏
What makes the Philippines beautiful and a great place to travel and live, more than the stunning beaches, are the people. The country doe snot have the conveniences of the first world, which I do not like, but the kindness and friendliness of the Filipinos make all the difference. Glad you enjoyed Sugar Beach. Thank God, there was not any trash on the beach, which surprises me sometimes in other beaches. Thank you for sharing! Blessings!
Yes, thank you guys for the e-sim info! You talked about it before & we used Airalo on our trip to the UK in January & it worked great! Also, my daughter, her boyfriend & baby girl are currently in Italy & have tested positive for covid!!😖
Glad it worked but so sorry about your daughter
Enjoy ur stay.
🤗
get well soon!
😊
I’m so glad you talked about esims! My husband is retiring the end of May and we will begin our adventures slow traveling the world. We wanted to get new iPhones before we left but I was concerned because the newest iPhone only has esim capability (in the U.S., anyways). I wasn’t sure if esims would work in every country. So, since you started using them, have you had any issues where that wasn’t available? You made it sound extremely easy and I’m definitely going to check out the link you provided.
I’m sorry Trevor that you weren’t feeling well, but I’m glad to hear you’re on the mend! I’m thankful that you discuss things like that on your videos. I know y’all catch some flack over it, but I’m thankful to hear the good AND not-so-good things about full time travel.
Thanks for all you do to bring us these wonderful videos! ❤️❤️
Thanks Lorrie... I'm feeling much better now 😀 For the past 5 months in various countries we had no issues with esims. But since filming this we are having a new issue in a different country. Basically our connection is dropping from time to time which never ever happened before. We're trying to get that sorted out. But in general we are big fans! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers thank you! I appreciate that. Maybe you could occasionally update on how it’s working out? 😉
I’m guessing that’s likely due to the country’s wireless infrastructure? I’m also interested on any occasional updates 🤭
Love the videos :) you both are clearly getting a lot of sun. Please don’t forget your zinc oxide sunscreen… it will help prevent sun damage. I’m a fair skinned Canadian so I don’t leave home without it!
We wear sunscreen every single day don't worry 🤗- Anna
Weather is super hot. Summer is inching in.. and that’s what everybody had been lookin’ for.
100% ... we're here for summer weather 😀- Trevor
Hello you explore the paradise of our country keep going guys and keep enjoy the good place😅❤
Check out Boracay.you will definitely have more of a variety at the resorts or in town .isle hopping and helmet diving is a blast for sure .I suggest paradise garden resort not ,and very expensive
You can find optical shops like EO, Ideal, etc. at the malls.
We've been to all of them. They never have stock on the lenses I need - Anna
mabuti
I think the best thing you can do when you feel under the weather, is to rest, just like you are doing. Your body is asking you to let go of planning + mind chatter, let go of tours, and just relax + nap. On that beach looks like a perfect place to do that 👌
Maybe plan more slow travel so you can feel less pressure about westher or sickness? A few wks in each place?
🤗
Keep safe and enjoy ❤
🤗
Thanks for keeping it real! Life doesn’t always go as planned. This is your life and work, not vacation ❤
So appreciate that 🤗 - Anna
💯
Try going to Caramoan in Bicol. They have beautiful beaches, too.
Next time!
Your intro and outro music is a reminiscing when you guys stranded in El Nido, Palawan together with your fellow vloggers Jumping Places. Wow, that was 3 years ago? Glad you visited the Philippines once again.
It's been the same music before that time and since 😀
Oregano oil shots work for me! Also rinse your sinuses with sea water! Hope you heal fast
Good to know Bruce! 🤗 - Anna
There's a cool little old Spanish Fort on bantayan. I was the only one there. Santa fe beach was best. Lovely
Good to know and Santa Fe is the best! - Anna
What a beautiful beach!!!!! So glad you got out and about!
(Since we follow you on INSTAGRAM, Trevor we know you are feeling better!)
Anna hope you get contacts! Safe travels guys! Great drone shots & video! ~Cara 😊
The beach was out of this world guys. I'm feeling so much better now indeed 😀- Trevor
Try to visit Sicogon and Gigantes Island in nearby Iloilo province.
🤙
As with anything in life, there are always ups and downs ☺️. Good thing you’re Delightful Travellers who can go with the flow…or the waves at the beach, in this case 🌊! Hopefully things have gotten better 😊.
Awe thanks Colleen 🥰 Trevor's feeling so much better now - Anna
15:36 THANK YOU for this info I was going to message you guys about ESim cards. I just shared with our son who is going to the UK next month 💖~Cara
👍
Wish you all well Trevor 💚 and I realy appreciates you and Anna more fore every time you are soo trufull and honest. Keep up your nice work Match light, blessing and Love
❤☀️ ❤
Sincerly Me 🌸🙏
Awe, Trevor. Hope you are all better now and Anna hasn’t caught your cold. My hack is as soon as I feel a tickle in my throat, I ply saline nasal spray as often as I think of it. A good nasal rinse does the trick for me to ward off the virus taking hold.
E SIM. I am going to check it out. Thanks. ❤
Anna didn’t catch it after all! Woohoo - Trevor
Sun is blazing hot ! Most residents stay indoors and wait for the sun to go down before they hit the streets.

OMG you guys that’s awful!!! Hope you’re feeling better. - Anna
Cebu city has many varieties of bread to choose from.
👍
You should go to BORACAY.....for spectacular sunset.....and good nightlife
Next time!
You were very real about weather and man cold. Be well . NB Canada
weather that cause some colds .. yes bantayan is perfect place to rest it has a nice spots in there mangrove , other like balibid lagoon ,sandira beach. today its the start of summer i forgot that 1st week on April holyweek many local and foreign tourist will visit because its fiesta in there
i forgot that mention there is airport in there from mactan international airport its newly open this 3 weeks ago
What do you expect it is tropical island is hot off course but very nice and beautiful beaches mostly foreigners coming to Philippines injoying travel all around the islands
???
Aw what a shame, especially as the weather has improved too, take it easy both of you. An old saying here is “feed a cold, starve a fever”. Put a mask on Anna!! 😁🤞🤗
Haha masking up now Helen 😂 - Anna
Hop down to Camotes Islands which is not that far if you plan on Island Hopping.Stay Safe.
Stay hydrate
LAST TIME I VISITED THE PHILIPPINES I GOT SICK IN TAGAYTAY REALLY HAVE A BAD COLD COZ OF THE WEATHER ITS GET TOO HOT AND THEN COLD INSIDE THE HOTEL SO I CAN NOT ENJOY MY VISIT…. GLAD YOU OK TREVOR GOD BLESS YOU GUYS ✌️👍👌🙌👍👍💕🇺🇸
There's an optical shop in Bantayan proper
Filipino food is amazing but the amount of sugar many meals can be a bit overwhelming. I completely agree!
So much sugar! - Anna
I googled...being in and around salt water. It is good and bad. One thing it said is always shower after being in salt water. You can get internal infections if you don't. I was also curious because my daughter's home and property are on the salt water. ❤
Even if we were feeling 100% we'd shower after being in the ocean - Trevor
@Delightful Travellers Breathing the salt water air all the time isn't good either. Look what salt water air does to your lawn furniture. It eats away the finish. It even started to erode the cement outside table at my daughter's. 🤗
Oh Bantayan island the birthplace of my mother hope to have a vacey in ata de beach soon 🏡
I love those Frogskins lenses 😍 stay well both of you ❤
😎
Sorry you are feeling poorly but hard to feel bad for you being sick in paradise. Good bad or indifferent you my friend are living the best life.
🙏
I dont think Anna And Travel Comlany at All. I realy like that there are Keeping think Tru and Real! !
Sincerly from some one thats now how it is to strugell in soo many way in life! *
Its good that we all think diffrent, but I dont like when people are unfair and dpnt have the hole story.. I wish you any way a good week and 2023🙏
Hope u come to Thailand again
We so will!
Wow I was there not long ago it’s a very small island I rented a motorbike 🏍 😊
🤙
I may suggest going to Iloilo City in the island of Panay. A clean, relaxing and great place for retirees and visitors.
Thanks for the tip!
@@DelightfulTravellers You're welcome! Most Ilonggos prefer boiled or grilled food rather than the fried stuff. Plenty of veggie options as well. If you get a chance to be in Iloilo City, you should try the native Ilonggo dishes like Chicken Binakol, Kansi, Apan-Apan, Bangus Inasal, Pancit Molo and Batchoy. You'll hear a lot about batchoy when you go there but if you want a version that is bit lighter and options to have no innards, you can try Ted's Old timer batchoy. You can also try the 'Breakthrough' resto or Jo's Chicken Inato which serves some of those native dishes. The best dishes are home-cooked btw.
It's summertime, drink a lot of liquids bring a bottle of water when outside and take vitamin c/multivitamins everyday, go to the city there's a lot of opthalmologist and clinics that sell variety of contact lenses.
Thanks for watching
Glad Trevor is better. We take Zinc and vitamin C as well. But the minute we feel a cold might be coming, our ‘go to’ is Echinacea. Keeping you in my prayers. - Viviane
Maybe we'll have to try that out! - Anna
AHAHAHA THAT PUPPY SMILED AT THE CAMERA DID YOU CATCH THAT !!!??? ahahahahahahahahah FRickin ADorbs!!!
She has quite the smile 😀 - Anna
Hi Trevor n Anna, it's best to wear a Hat or take an umbrella when you're walking outside in the heat otherwise you'd get heat stroke, as u can see all locals do not expose their head to Sunshine whilst walking.. also going in & out of air condition place to the heat can also triggers catching a cold so it is best to stay under shadey area...and your shoulder should not expose to sunshine otherwise you'd skin cancer, it's best to wear T-shirt with some loose sleeve. Hope this tip helps you to survive in the hot tropical country. 😅Take care, lots of water for hydration & also mosquitoes love to suck blood with alchohol so drink with water to flush some alchohol away in the blood stream...😂👍
It's better to go out in the sun in the morning untill 10am and in the afternoon around 4pm onward to avoid heat burn
Mostly food is coated of sugar in the Philippines, sweet tooth country!😁🤗
Yeah like a turkey on dark rye,or maybe tuna on wheat.trust me I know the feeling.in may it will be a year since I've been here so decided to be a prescaterian vegan lots of seafood,fresh fruits ,and veggies available 😂I just learned to adjust
Juice, proper medicine, fruits, water, and rest - while you can. Hope you feel better. Motto: "It's More Fun in the Philippines."
Get better, Trevor! Traveling is no fun when you're sick. I got hit with a gout flare when traveling in Germany. No fun! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thanks so much TT! I'm much better now .. woohoo 😀 - Trevor
I’m still thinking about that dog from the beach. 🥺
She was such a cutie! - Anna
👍🙋🙂👏
This is after eight days, I’ve been following your channel. I see you’re not feeling good in the old days my mom used to say soak yourself at the salt water
Salt water is medicinal may be after 15 to 30 minutes go home wash your self put Vicks all over your foot 🦶 then eat some
chicken soup tuck your self
in a blanket maybe after 30 minutes you should be sweating
And feeling better have fun guys stay safe
👍👍👍👍
🤙
I think zinc, and multi vitamins in general, should be part of any person’s regimen, travellers or not. Even among locals, the heat here during summer can really take its toll on anyone, how much more to tourists. Get well soon, and make the most of your stay here. Stay hydrated.
😊
I went to the hospital on a trip to SIngapore. I have terrible stomach problems where i'll throwup and can't stop. Ended up in a beautiful hospital in SIngapore and they took amazing care of me haha... NOT the only coutry i've gotten sick either 🤪
Getting any kind of sick when visiting somewhere usually sucks!
Sorry that happened to you and hope you're much better now 🤗- Anna
@Jason I know right!
Better way to be a little under the weather than by a beautiful scenic beach on an island while eating healthy falafel wraps. Also, there's a lot of Filipino vegetables you can go for when looking to eat healthy in the Philippines. lol
haha best place to be sick for sure! - Trevor
Ya boohoo. Lol
@@japnuts you don’t seem to be fans of ours (I can see your last comment was pretty snarky as well). I never understand why people waste their own time watching things they don’t enjoy! 🤷♀️🤷♀️
- Anna
take vitamins C and probiotics 😊❤
👍
Getting sick on the beach works for me. Oh by the way I'm heading to the Dominican under your recommendations.
Oh no way! Which part? We can't wait to get back there later this year - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers I was just in Mexico a couple of months ago in Isla Mujeres.Any suggestion for the Dominican?
Echinacea works well for me...I have not had a full blown cold/flu in over 25 years!! as soon as i feel something coming on, I take a few tablets and...it does not take!!
Wow 25 years is crazy Taki! We used to take that way back and still got colds from time to time ha - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers lol...find a better brand!! :)
@@taki2003 😂
Why every foreign we love my country I'm a poor guy no studying my work is construction but I understand what you say .always take care po because so many bad guy around you don't trust easily thanks all vlogger we love the Philippines. Beaches food and the lifestyle ❤🇵🇭🇵🇭
Go back to Cebu city and search Own Days. Also there are good optometrist or optomologist in Cebu City.

I know the feeling of getting sick while on a holiday. Your energy is low and you just want to go back to bed and lie down more. 😔 Hope you are feeling better now and Anna didn’t catch it. Since you’re traveling all the time, take vitamin C, Zinc and Probiotics at least 10-20 billion CFU daily esp. you’re in SEA. If you’re still in the Phil. take advantage of drinking the lemonsito while in the Visayas region or calamansi in Tagalog. You can buy a small bag very cheap and squeeze 2 -3 lemons in a glass of water. Add honey or sugar ‘cause it’s sour. Drink it as often as you can and add boiled slice of ginger if you’re having itchy throat or feeling a cold is coming. I know by now you’re not in Bantayan anymore but be sure to buy zinc, vitamin c and pro biotic in any Watson or pharmacies in the city.
Thanks so much for the tips! - Trevor
Sorry You Are Feeling To Great, I Never Been Sick Forsay, I Have Gotten Sick at home, I Did Get A nosebleed on a train ride from Paris France to Frankfurt Germany
Thanks for watching! - Anna
I'm wondering how do you guys have the money to keep travelling these places and living different places? I'm just very curious:)
We actually answer that question on the FAQ section of our website: www.delightfultravellers.com/faq
Take STIMUNO. for stronger immune system. I took it during the lockdowns. Helped us a lot. (Not a med rep here)
Ginseng is a great immunity booster, 100% pure Panex ginseng (Canadian doctor recommended) if you can get it is best. Plus Zinc. Love the videos living vicariously through you both, thx so much for sharing.
Go canyoneering!!
No thanks! Bad back over here - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers oh! sorry to hear that!
Years ago I purchased a savoury pie for my son in Hong Kong (I know forgive me 😂 he was going through a fussy eating stage and we had been in Hong Kong for a week) he took one bite and screwed up his face 🤦♀️ 😊I’m like ready to throttle this kid until I tasted it the pastry was so sweet it was inedible just an awful combination 😂
Drinking water and food prep should be clean
Was there an EXPAT community there or in Bohol?
Zinc? Yes. And vitamin D (supplement form). Then maybe ditch sugar… maybe go keto while sick. Sugar raises cortisol which weakens immune system.
We don't eat sugar at all really. But good luck ditching sugar in the Philippines ha - Trevor
LOL
Bantayn island just like in koh lipe thailand but koh lipe is more beautiful than bantayan island! If u back to thailand you have to go similan island the bluest turquoise crsytal blue water in thailand and can beat all the beaches in philippines, even koh kradan thailand can beat bantayan island.. checked all those 3 island that i mention!..
We will 💯 be back in Thailand at some point - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers latest update top 100 beaches on earth! Amazing thailand
No. 1 koh kradan thailand
No. 4 elnido philippines
No. 9 railay beach krabi
No. 18 freedom beach phuket
No. 19 boracay white beach
@@DelightfulTravellers your friend the the couple bloggers jumping places they are always comparing thailand and philippines when it come to island beaches they said thailand water murky and not so clear and philippes turqoise blue water and dis agree for that! Y? Thailand has a cystal blue torqoise water and you have to reseach and explore more! Beside of that it depends the weather if the skyblue very sunny not wavy definitely the water its so clear!
Okay guys, I have the BEST tip to prevent getting sick on airplanes. It's not glamorous, but we swear by it! So, I'm sure you've heard that airplane air is very dry. It is so dry that it actually cracks the blood vessels in your nose and allows for viruses to enter your bloodstream that way. That, coupled with close proximity for hours with strangers, is why so many people get sick on airplanes. Tip: Right before entering the plane, coat the inside of your nose with vaseline. Seriously. It keeps your nose from cracking and we rarely get sick on travel days now. It will change your life!
Good to know Eric. We may have to try that out on our next flight 🤗- Anna
Ah contact lenses 👁️, i travel with a very old ratty pair of specs just for emergencies ..
I have those too haha - Anna
Yeah out spreadin your Covid all over GOD's creation ! Good Job !
It definitely wasn’t COVID (just so you know the common cold didn’t disappear after COVID came along),but thanks for your concern 😂
