Solo Adventure through Negev Desert in Israel. EP 40

This place is called Coloured Sands. So you can see behind me and everywhere else is just lots of rocks in different colours. Lots of reds and lots of kids digging. there is this special place. It's called Naut Farm and let me show you what's so special about it. Gadi and Lea, the owners of the Naut Farm. Tell me guys, how long do you live here? What was the reason? Why did you decide to go and live in the middle of the desert? Look around. I know. It's a good lifestyle. We wanted to change. And you built everything from the scratch. You connected water, you connected power because literally there was nothing here. That's pretty incredible. And tell me, how did you come up with this idea about concrete tubes? We had cabins for many years but they are quite expensive and we wanted to have something cheaper for low budget travellers. I think they're awesome. I love concrete. I'm still an engineer myself and I'm actually obsessed with concrete. Was it hard to build them? Did you build everything? Bed, inside, everything? On your own? Very talented, both of you. You also do your own cheese? Goat cheese? And Lea, do you do the cheese? Is it hard? It's a lot of work but I like it. It's very tasty. The cheese at the breakfast is your cheese, isn't it? Very yummy. So not only you've got this farm but you're also riders. How many continents did you travel on a motorcycle? Not many. America, both Americas, Europe and Europe. What bike you've got at the moment? Africa Twin. And before you had a GS? I saw pictures. The car is 650 Euros. What's your next trip around the world? Five years? You're going to take off? You're going to leave everything behind? Thank you so much for having me. You're welcome. What a scenery! It's time to show you my new helmet. This is an Aitur X4. So, no more flip-up anymore. I've decided not to continue with the flip-up helmet for various reasons. This one is an Enduro type helmet, full face with a nice big visor. Plenty of space for the sunnies and goggles. It also has lots of vents. I'm quite impressed how many actually they all spread around the helmet. And I finally connected my Lea drinking tube inside. So this is excellent. So you connect it there and you drink water as you go. Brilliant. This is my last night in Israel. And I'm going to spend it in a very special place again. Where I'm going to stay for the night.
