Day 3 of the Australian leg of their fantastical Globe trotting extravaganza.
Or perhaps several days into the damp squib and missed opportunities that this holiday could have been. A hastily patched together mess badly organised and lacking in any objectivity.
Chris has launched the drone and the video kicks off with some excellent footage of what I assume is the sunset (it's probably the sunrise)
But I do like this sort of stuff its shows some imagination and flare.
Chris has also swapped the beanie for a stonker of a cap
Then it's a cut to Sarah walking down that detention cell corridor lookalikey thing.
She looks ok a bit drained but ok. She tells us this is their last day in the resort and that they have had a lovely couple of days there. I have to say that isn't the evidence of the vlogs. Both of them have appeared tired and Sarah has been a totally self centred moaner.
She says they have debated hugely … then asks where the girls are. It sounds as if some woman answers here but its very hard to make out what is said. The girls however are waiting in the car. She goes on to say that they then says the girls want to do a Koala encounter type thing whilst in Australia . There is the Steve Irwin zoo near them which was around $400 to visit including the Koala thing and was booked up.
So they are going to go to the National Park today and hopefully experience the Koala Experience another time.
Next cut is to the arriving at the Park Chris's voice is stumbling a bit
They are taking a coastal walk to a place called dolphin point . Here you are supposed to be able to see dolphins. Chris apologises for his voice saying he has tonsillitis. As Chris says its looks superb. The drone camera footage is also edited in here to good effect.
They find a rockpool and some unfortunately dead looking crabs.
then it cuts to Isabelle saying that they have been looking at rockpools seeing sea urchins etc . This is only spoiled by Chris saying that Esme is loving life right now. That expression really gets on my nerves personally. I dunno why its just annoying.
To be fair Esme does seem very happy and is playing happily in the sea and climbing over rocks.
Then it cuts to Sarah and she is saying they have enjoyed themselves etc but its time to get back on the trail and head to Dolphin Point. which it immediately cuts to. You get a fair amount of footage here
Then its a cut to an Italian restaurant. Sarah ever the victim says they haven't eaten much which might be why she feels so bad. The meals are 1 Lasagne 1 Spaghetti Bolognaise 1 steak and chips Chris and Sarah are having Pizza. Sarah name checks the restaurant.
I notice that they seem to attach great significance to the ratings these places achieve on Trip Advisor. It's slightly amusing to see them keep mentioning it.
The secret is nearly out as the youngest proceeds to say what she has had to eat. This goes against the guessing game the gullible I fam were expected to play which was guess who had what
Sarah then says they only ate half of their pizzas that's the problem when you order massive ones. They are walking back to the car. Sarah says they are up early and off again.
It then cuts to them being back in the apartment. Chris telle sus the girls are getting ready for bed and Sarah has already crashed. He goes on to say that she has been very poorly today and he isn't sure if she has told us. To be fair I couldn't personally give a toss. I think she plays on it, is naturally lazy and thinks she is the worlds victim- sorry mate
He goes on saying she was super tired and fell asleep in the car came back and went to bed, I cant help thinking that its the thought of you getting jiggy with her hats making her bad but then again
Chris says he will tuck the girls in bed and get on with some editing.
Gawd help those twins from the other day if they have swapped phone numbers.
Chris reiterates that they are up early next day to go to their next amazing super destination etc. It comes across to me as slightly hollow. Chris feels pretty rubbish and is hoping the tosilitis will clear up etc. Personally I hope so too.
Developments
Sarah moans again. She comes across as a moaning drama queen. I think possibly Chris has decided to cut some of the footage to remove the moans whether that's because its being commented on or just because he knows it puts people off I'm not sure
Chris looks very drained at the end of the vlog.
The kids do genuinely appear to have some fun today
Again I think the scenery capture is very good.
I get the feeling that reality is closing in on them. In that perhaps they realise that some people are now lost to them
They overdo with food. Those Pizza sizes were ludicrous
I'm going to piss some people off but if Chris went it alone and did a "backpackers guide to places to see before your 35" I would look at it.
I think the travelling is tiring them and I feel it must be draining on the girls.
Previously in meltdown moanarama drama Sarah went off tangent why shouldn't they take it easy and watch a film and not always be doing whatever. The harsh reality is that you yourselves have set this timetable so the blame comes down on you.
