City Mission: Visa Runs, Drones & Big City Treats | S4 E21
After weeks off-grid, it was time to hit the big smoke. In this episode, we head into Padang, West Sumatra — our first major city in ages — on a fast-paced mission to restock, repair, and renew.
From replacing our drone and sourcing gas fittings, to tackling a visa run and squeezing in a dentist visit, this one’s a whirlwind. There’s market madness, lunch feasts, family errands… and a whole lot of effort just to get back out to the islands again.
🎥 Expect:
— A provisioning and gear mission in Padang, Indonesia
— Swapping out gas fittings and getting a local bottle
— Finding a secondhand drone to get back in the aerial game
— Visa run chaos and Kris’s lightning-fast KL trip
— Market madness & stocking up on fresh food
— Takeaways, team effort… and one very tired mum
