Chill Out at Diani Beach in Kenya - EP. 60

So, what color do you think we're going to have? We'll have... I thought it was going to be something yellow-amber. No, there's no yellow here. So, what now we're doing, we are taking out the yellow-amber. Now, it's going to be... Black. Yes. Tenderly. Now, you're going to get the soup. Thank you. Workshop is straight? Thank you. I've been to Nairobi for five days now, but I didn't really see it much. I just worked pretty much on my blog and videos and everything else because I'm so behind now. So, today I'm dropping off my bike to Jungle Junction, where Chris is going to look after it. So, I need major service done and hopefully my tires will arrive soon, so he'll change my new tires as well. And now, I'm about to catch a flight to Mombasa for little holidays with my friends. They're flying in from different countries just to see me, and we're just going to chill at the beach. And to be honest, I'm really looking forward to that because I really need some time of bike. Yeah. I'm quite tired. So, Chillie stays here, and I'm off to Mombasa. We're about to start our holidays. And we're having baluti before the flight to Mombasa. Cheers. And we made it to Mombasa, this beautiful place with no windows or aircon, but it's really nice apart from that. See? And that's our ocean view. It's just there, except it's raining now because it's the rain season, but that's okay. We're keeping ourselves busy while it's raining. The things I have to put up on the road. What's for breakfast? How's your coconut? And she's gone. There are more people! Let's go! Are you ready for Yara? Yeah. Yara from Egypt. She just finished Raleigh. That's it. In Kenya. And now we're enjoying this beautiful scenery. Maya from Jordan. Everyone knows Maya. Maya from Russia. Oh! Okay. How are you? We're just right now at a girl's party. How was it? Having a little holidays that are about to finish. Getting jealous. We're so sad. We're sad. But we're happy. I'll see you next time. Bye. Maya booked us a flight from Leane beach to Mombasa. It's 20 minutes flight. Safari. How big the plane could be? What do you reckon? I'm not sure if it's going to fit our bags. Well, let's see. That's our plane. Actually, it's a little bit bigger than I thought it is. Tire pressure feels alright? Tire pressure is okay. Which way? This way. Taxi is an hour and a half and this plane will take us there. More to take off and land. Do you have drinks? No drinks. Sorry. We're super excited. We're flying. Are you guys like just got in or you have like a landing in between? There's been three or four stops. Ah! It's like a bus. So you're on a taxi kind of? Are you going around the world on this plane? More like a city bus. But that's like air taxi. Yeah. Can I fly? Okay. For those joining us, welcome. Thank you. Short flight, about 10 minutes. We'll fly along the coastline so you get a nice view. Okay? Okay. For the rest of you, we'll just be exactly about five minutes. Excellent. Okay, sit back, relax, enjoy the emails. Thank you. SG, I understand that it was still Nairobi. And we didn't die.

Saying there's around 100 girls right now, just in Nairobi itself. Yeah. When, do you think it's just recent thing that women get on bikes or the culture is changing or there was a lot of women who were riding in like, let's say, 10, 15 years ago before? I think it's more of the culture is changing. Yeah? But yes, there were ladies who were riding, but it was a bit slow. I think like she would say, like, yeah, she would start, but just a bit like one, two, three numbers. But now it's quite diverse. Now it's quite big. And also just accessibility of bikes. Yeah.

The most important question. Awesome. How easy or hard is to buy bikes in Kenya? Are there new bikes? You can buy new bikes here? It's not easy to answer your question. But just to tell you how it is. Easy or hard now becomes a personal thing. It's true, right? Yeah. So we have lots of bikes around just in the community. For example, we have a bike shop in the village. my Kawasaki was I got it locally but it's not from a dealer it's from somebody who brought it before there's a lot there's a big market that likes to go to South Africa and bring their bikes right second-hand bike there's another market that likes to go to Uganda bring their bikes right then there's another market also depending I guess on your financial ability you bring in right direct from the dealer but locally if you want say new bikes you get the smaller commuter bikes what you call maybe those are readily available there are hundreds of shops and showrooms everywhere even the lower CC bikes are ready Chinese bikes are there now we have a new showroom for what are they called CF Motors which is Chinese and what they're doing is they bring almost brand size and brand look yeah yeah bikes and I think they're brand new thank you you're welcome you're welcome thank you you guys are so cool
