The final stage of shipping Basanti : bringing her to the airport! Things seemed to go very smoothly and all was looking good. I brought Basanti to the airport, retrieved the signed/stamped paperworks and the plane was booked for both Basanti and myself. But then... Wait until the end of the video!
And I'm at the airport I checked in I got my ticket so let's go to Oman
Good morning Internet it is
822 in the morning and welcome back to the channel if you're new to the channel
I completed the first leg of my motorbike trip
And I'm now in Kuala Lumpur and I'm trying to get my motorbike ships to Oman to continue the journey
Now this is easier said than done and it already took two full days to build a crate around my bike
That's all done. And today we're gonna bring her to the airport or at least that's the plan
Same like the other days. I have no idea what to expect
I have no idea what's going to happen if I'm gonna see the customs or not or I absolutely have no idea
But let's find out
There she is
Morning, my name is Noraly. Paisal. Hi Paisal, nice to meet you
Board there so I footage I'll be able to get today, but we're now going to get a gate pass from me
so far, it looks like I can actually
bring my bike to customs
Leaving my papers somewhere in a truck didn't really appeal to me
So so far so good. So now we're going to try to get a gate pass from me to an offloading area
Step two is complete. I have a pass so not too sure where we're gonna go now
next stop
I really hope they'll let me up to customs
and I don't know the customs inspection
but let's see how far we can go
They kept my passport here. So I
I will have to come back here to retrieve my passport and bring back the pass
This one, oh yeah, yeah, okay
So yeah, that was it
I left Basanti here
The Carnet is here
They told me that today is Tuesday
They told me that on Thursday
The customs is gonna do the inspection
Then they expect on Friday
That we'll have a customs clearance
And then they put it on the plane to Muscat in Oman
So there's nothing else I can do
I can't come for the inspection
So I tried but
I can't be there
except when they do that
So I don't really have another option
than to just go back to KL
Go back to Kuala Lumpur
And yeah, wait
Good morning again, it is 9.04 in the morning
And I have some very good news
Because
I got the customs clearance
and
I'm now going to the airport
to pick up my Carnet
which is already stamped
So that means that Basanti is already stamped
out of Malaysia
and she will be put on a plane
today
So that is super good news
So now I'm gonna go to the airport
I'm now waiting for my grab
So yeah, the past 4 days
I've not been bored at all
I've been actually super busy
I'm doing all sorts of arrangements
I arranged my visa for Oman
So that's done
I also already arranged my visa for Iran
Because
I will be going there quite quickly
after Oman
And getting a visa for Iran is really hard
You need to have an Iranian
travel insurance
and you need to have an invitation letter
It's a lot of paperwork
and a lot of hassle
But I got it done
So I already have my visa for Iran as well
And then I also had to move
I'm now somewhere else
Because the Airbnb where I was staying
they were double booked or something like that
So they kind of kicked me out
So I moved to a different part of KL
A lot more in the city centre
It's a bit more busy
But
Was that my grab?
But that's fine for the last few days
So all is looking good
So
I have my Carnet
You can see here
This is Myanmar
Thailand
And Malaysia
Got stamped
So I'm super glad that I have
my papers back
Because they are so important
And that basically means that
Basanti is custom cleared
So all good to go
And she is flying today
I'll be flying tomorrow
So I got my visa, I got my flight already booked
A place to stay booked
So tomorrow morning
I'll be heading to the airport
And then flying to Oman
So I am super excited
And I'm at the airport
I checked in, I got my ticket
So let's go to Oman
Welcome to Oman
I'm walking up a wall of
heat at the moment
Really nice airport, this airport is brand new
They opened it last year
So it's super nice
So now I'm going to take a taxi
to my hotel
Yes
Thank you
Oh wow
So I arrived in my hotel
It's a really really
pretty nice room
Look I got like a chandelier
Chandelier, I don't know how you pronounce it
So
It's a pretty good room
The only thing, I just received
some really
disappointing news
So my bike has been submitted
by the agent to the carrier
which is a freighter
and they gave me a tracking trace code
and I already noticed
that the plane that it was supposed to be on
didn't leave Kuala Lumpur
at all, so I was already thinking
something is wrong here
So the plane didn't leave for 24 hours
and now, when I just had internet
again, I checked
and now it's saying that
it will be on a plane
which is leaving in 2 weeks
so that means that my bike is sitting
for another 2 weeks in Kuala Lumpur
and I am in
Oman, so
that's a super bummer
I do think it's better for me to sit
here in Oman than waiting 2 more weeks
in Kuala Lumpur because
here you can do some amazing
off road riding
so I think I have to
cheat on Basanti a little bit
and just see if I can rent
a dirt bike or something and then
go ride in the mountains here
because I did bring all my gear, so I got my helmet
and I wore my
motorbike boots in the airplane
and I got my jacket, I basically have all my
riding gear with me, so I am super happy
I brought that, it's just
one of those things that
I don't know, you have to kind of accept
that sometimes things don't
go so smooth and
efficient as I would like
it to be, but yeah
not much else to do than
plan B and just rent
a dirt bike and go into the mountains
so I think it should be good
so hopefully in the next video
you'll see me riding
around here on some dirt tracks, I really hope
that it's going to work, even though
the ending is a little bit disappointing
I still hope you liked this video
if you did, please give me a big
thumbs up and subscribe down below
and hopefully see you in the next
video
