    Awesome guys!! The sunset, the colors of the sky & the reflection on the water is just breath taking. And when you think that the day is through, a whole new world of creatures came to life. Congrats on the soon to re-opening of Uepi. All the best in your preparations.

      Isn’t it just beautiful watching those colours evolve in the sunset. Our favourite time of day! Yes it’s an entirely new world to discover at night and the crab walk was so cool.. it’s incredible that we have the worlds largest land crab in our forest right next to our new home!! This place is very special 😁

    I remember the sunsets so well. As well as full moons rising over the lagoon from the Welcome Jetty. Such a breathtakingly beautiful location. 🌴☀️

    Thanks for sharing the happiness that is Uepi. Cake baking, sunset watching, walking in the forest....just wonderful to watch and share. The music during the coconut crab story was so beautiful! Just perfect for telling their story. Coming back in October and thanks to you we'll take the time to appreciate each coral head, each fish and each sunset so much more!

    Can’t wait to see coconut crabs next time I’m at Uepi 🦀👍🏻🥰 I’m not surprised Ross doesn’t make an appearance 🤪🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад

      Yes we definitely need to do a crab walk next time you are here!!! Kids loved it... I think if we put coconuts out for a few nights we might see some bigger ones later at night too... Super fun!! Ha ha yes Rossco is usually in cameraman mode by choice haha

    Omg. Watching this makes me so want to get back to Uepi!! Can’t wait to see what y’all have done to the place. Great conservation messaging on the coconut crabs. 👍🏻 I remember seeing a number of them when we visited Tetepare/Uepi in 2012. Thank you for the lovely peace you capture in your videos and for sharing your life with all of us. As always - your kids are just too damn cute. 😍

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад

      Ohh I’m glad you’ve done the crab walk… it’s such a cool think to do and yet I don’t know why it took me so long to do it.. now with the kids being old enough to stay up a little later, I’m so happy we did it with them as they make everything even more fun! A beautiful adventure. Our world here is so special We are so happy to share it with you through these videos 😊

      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад

      Wonderful!! They’re so beautiful aren’t they! We’re thinking our guests will see them on the path walking home now that the path runs through the jungle more than before!

      Yes 🙌🏼 we’re hoping to be open by October if all continues to go well!! The new bungalows are just incredible and the old views from any bungalow are just as good 🌴😎

    Good to see some new accommodation being built - last time we were there (2016) our cabin was really showing its age. It's a big wide diving world out there - you have to keep up with the competition ;) .

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад

      Yes our original bungalows are 30+ years old. Feeling very fortunate to be in a position where we can be making improvements despite almost 3 years with zero income. These new bungalows are something we’re really proud of achieving in the midst of our toughest years. So excited to be welcoming guests again soon to share the underwater world!!

    dont know if Jase remembers, when we did the coconut crab search the boat floated away while we were looking at the crabs

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад +1

      Haha sounds like something that might happen. Haha now with our new route through the jungle to the new bungalows and up to our new place.. you won’t need a boat ride for the crab walk 😉

    So which cabin is mine? Any thoughts on when the medical missions can resume?

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  2 года назад

      Cabins are looking so good aren't they! You can choose haha... there's 3 new ones which will be in action very soon!! Our focus for now is getting the resort back up and running so really can't say when medical tours will start again...
