Tenere 700 trip to Magadan
Hello to everyone. I think it is time to update my trip, where I am exactly, how it's going.
And I'm so happy to show you this place. It is in Riga actually, in one of the neighborhoods of Riga.
And as I said, I'm so happy to show you this place because the owner of this place, Rob,
is just a fantastic person. I spent a few days here on my way to Magadan, and now I'll spend
another two, three days here with him in his place. And yesterday we rode around, we saw many,
many interesting places. In common, my experience around Riga is wonderful. When I arrived here
three months ago, we went around the whole town. He showed me everything. Then we spent
two nights here. Now on the way back, he showed me all the surroundings around the area. And
actually he lives in fantastic place. If I only walk 300 meters that direction, I go straight
onto the beach on Baltic Sea. And I've done it, and I'm going to do it again now today.
If I walk like 500 meters in that direction, I'll go to a big lake. So it is fantastic spot.
And he built it from nothing, from scratches actually, with his own hands and his friends.
They've got like a small community, like a motorcycle, not only motorcycle community,
they have a small fighting club. And in this club, many of the guys also ride motorcycle.
So they've got the same interest. They've got like canoes and they do rafting and stuff like that.
It's all people with the same interest. So they build this place to be like a place where they
can sit and drink together and talk together and do some wonderful stuff. And as I said,
I'm more than happy to show it to you. Let me start from outside. So it was actually like a
garage, two garages, one on top of another. And when they started, they've got nothing, nothing.
All of this was with only the concrete beams and just one wall. So they start building something
without any walls. And they did it just excellent. Let me show you around now. So this is the spot.
It's so well decorated. I'm impressed from everything. Let's start here from the
holder. See, horseshoes, so you can hang your clothes here. Fridge, kitchen, all well designed,
all well thoughtful, how it should be. Everything is so, so nice. I like everything, man. Everything
is made with the idea to save space. See how it is? To save space, to have everything nearby.
So tea, coffee, everything, fridge. This is the sofa where we usually stay and have some
conversations. And I like the design of this. Look at the light, this big lock with the lights
integrated in. And to save space, he hangs the canoe over there. And this is the part
of the way he put some of the icons. By the way, this icon and another one, very small,
were given to me in the local church when we went there just to say some praise for the trip.
A lady came, monk, not monk, what is the nun, sorry, nun. And she gave me this icon and another
one just for a good wish of my trip. Anyway, let me continue. This is the heater with
big stone on the top. When it's heated, it expands the temperature and the fan to spread
and all decorations. And this corner is really nice. I really like this. It's exactly like in
the bike post, a lot of different pictures representing the idea of the place as well.
And what I like, it has a bar here so you can just stretch your body. And the design of the
stairs is just wonderful. It has number one here, so you have to start with the right leg
and then you can go easily to the top. And I love everything. I love this bar,
again made from wood that he found here in the local forest. So comfortable. See,
man, it's just like super looks. And I really like this green carpet over there.
Fantastic. And all of this represents their lives and what they do all the time, what they love.
It's motorcycles, rafting, enjoying the life. It's another one room here where you can spend the
night. Sofa, beautiful decorations. Of course, fantastic. And this is alloy, so you can treat
the wounds if you have. And as I said, all of this built from nothing, from scratches
with their own hands. Now I'm going to finish this video, take my stuff and go into the beach,
as I said, 300 meters away. I'm going to spend a couple of hours there, get some sunlight.
After that, I will walk around. And in the afternoon, when Rob finishes his work,
we'll go and continue exploring the area. And tomorrow I will move direction west,
where I'll be part of this motorcycle meeting, Outdoor Outscout, that I told you a few days ago.
I'll be there from 15th to 17th of September. So if anyone wants to come and meet me in person,
I will be there. I will leave a link in the description down below. Anyway, after that,
after 18th of September, I will head direction home, places that I've already been. Here and
there I might film some videos, but anyway, in the detailed episodes, I've got everything,
everything, all the places I have been, everything. But they will start when I get back home.
See you in the next video. Ciao!
