I somewhat understood all these documents three times
It is very important to say what needs to be said
How much ThisPeculiar
Store What for
You don't know but
I think it's masculine
We are not afraid
We have helped more more
And we have to climb the mountain
Turn right
No one who apologized which you can see in Europe is reachable in this competition
Okay we're good
Let's go we're
leaving Everything
is at 6:00 I'll reach at 5:00
Three days ago I reached the full match 5.00
So I think that will be the situation
This wasn't bad because today we have
more time to cover more kilometers
The test was good as I think yesterday
For the machines how they work and everything
Today we're gonna do some more things
I decided to remove this tall windscreen
because it is visible now but when it
gets muddy and it will get muddy it will
completely block the view of the camera
Or at least a big chunk from the view
So I'm going to remove it today
We're going to do a few more things
like adjusting the brake levers foot brake levers
Put a 12-volt cable for Pazu A
few more things and we wait for
the final transfer of the documents
and I hope it will happen fast
So we can start finally because
now the time is ticking we
have to go to Brazil as soon as
possible But yeah so far so good
Motorcycles are ready As you can see they already have the
stickers So
they're like twins exactly the same
We did everything that we have to do
Adjusted the brake lever
here I have my disc lock
mount here Pazu got a cable for a 12-volt charger
All the parts or at least 95% of the spare parts like brake
pads stuff like that are already
here on my and his motorcycle
So we're all set I
have this mount for my
telephone And the tools that we're going
to need for that journey will stay in our
bags These are like this small ratchet
Air compressor brake levers
some spare parts as well The rest of the keys
that we might need Everything that we
might need on the road while we ride
So I thought were completely ready Just asked Pavel do you
feel that we'ready And he said
yeah absolutely we'ready to go
A lot of paperwork So I signed three
times all of these
documents And now is the important part that you
have to see to
believe it Which one Fingerprint
Fingerprint
Okay
Here
One
Here two
And
This one doesn't
And here
That's right And now I'm the owner
of a motorcycle Yeah Almost
Almost because we need Without
having committed
any crime I did the
fingerprints But this is
the situation in Colombia
It's not enough that I provided my fingerprints
We also need a print from the motorcycle's serial number
This is a very interesting procedure
My friend
They don't trust anyone here
Yeah
So he has a piece of paper Indigo You
have to have it on the tape
Exactly like a
police inspector Yeah Cesar my personal
police inspector
Can you see it now
Got it
Can I film it just
Yeah sure
So we have the number here
Can you see how it is Man
We learn all of our life
Always something new
Something new to
see Something new
to learn And
the same to the
engine Yeah Okay You want
me to make
it on the other side On
a more light Hold on
So we repeat the same procedure with the engine
number And now we have two papers That are
required to transfer the motorcycle ownership
Now this paper needs to go into the documents
Chassis
Wind number
And engine number
I've never seen this before
A lot of paperwork is required I'm so glad
that I don't need to do it Because it 's
one of the things that I hate a lot
We did the most important part
To transfer the ownership of the motorcycles
My motorcycle and Patsas's motorcycle
It's a very long process
And if you don't know what to do
It's a real pain in the ass So
thanks to Cesar
everything was done
Let's say one day So we got like
one day First went to the notary
To sign all the
documents Everything that
we need to do Then went
to another Some kind
like police registration
We have our
fingerprints again All documents
Passports Telephones
All stuff like that And now all the documents
are ready
Cesar will send it to the
main department And if everything is alright
We're going to have it maybe on Friday
Not on Wednesday as we discussed earlier
Maybe Friday And on
Friday we'll be ready
to go back We had a few more hours riding
around the town It was really good fun
But finally we have documents So now
we can relax here And what we're going
to do in the next
few days I don't know
yet But I'm very happy with everything
Are the Patsas satisfied
After lunch yes
How was the ride
With one step towards the journey
Riding in city conditions Like in
the jungle Jungle
For the first time it
happened to me To fly from left
to right And
red It's not very red there
Yes Exactly
We found out that there are traffic
lights Red traffic
lights And red traffic
lights So some red
traffic lights are not really red You
can see them They are red
But no one stops on them
But the others are red
And everyone stops
So we don't know when or what the traffic light is
But the locals
It seems they know
what they're doing Anyway
it was a lot
of fun Time to relax
And the next two
or three days
Probably we'll do nothing Alright Five days
But we do nothing
Just walk around Riding in
the town And
eat Patsu needs to put on some fat
Because of the
place we are going
There will not be
much food So we have
to make him round So he can survive
the journey Tonight we are going to
have a nice salad Tomatoes and cumbers
Omelette With ham and cheese And everything that
we can imagine
And we'll see How long we can have
this standard What
do you say Patsu
I'm waiting as long as I can
There's nothing left
Once we leave this place
It will be very difficult
to eat like that That's why we enjoy it right now
We decided to take a short trip
To Buenaventura
Which is about a hundred and twenty kilometers away
West of Calais It's a beautiful
mountain road With a lot of twists And it
will be again like a test for the
motorcycles And because
we have nothing to do
We have to
wait here Two or three days
Waiting for the motorcycle documents
The one that I
have now And Plamen has
Still with the old owner On
the title Which is fine to ride it around But
we cannot cross
borders with this title
But it will be perfectly fine To
have them Just to
travel So the first obstacle is to
leave the city Now we
need the GPS Once we get out
It's gonna be easy It's
just one turn that we have to make After fifty sixty
kilometers So it
will be perfectly fine
One of these expensive neighborhoods
That's why it's so clean
Traffic is normal
The road is good
But it might change
This is what I'm talking about It's
getting more interesting here You can
see the difference between down there and
here And all of these cables
We don't have these anymore in
Europe But they used to be part
of our community as well Now things have
changed Just washed up on the street
Like in the gypsy camps in Bulgaria
So steep a hill here
Taxi taxi
The challenge now is just to get out of the city
Everything will be fine after that
The road is getting better and
better Green views everywhere
It will be even better after a few more kilometers
You can see the
buses Very colorful
West to the control
Nice road Perfect
asphalt surface Not
much traffic in our
direction Good
Twenty thirty more
horsepower would be okay But
it is what it is Go Patso
go This is the moment
Twenty-five kilograms is a big difference
My motorcycle without any luggage
It's like Rapato's motorcycle with all the luggage
Because of the weight difference we have
See how many stoplights
he has On this truck
At least 15
The forecast for today
was 70% chance of rain But you can see what it is now
Almost every day that we are here
it' s raining But nothing like this before
So I hope it will continue like that
until we come back Getting better and
better and better And we have to
cross the mountain And go on the other side
Unfortunately this is the only road we can use to travel from east to west and from west to east
Any other road ends before the mountain
We have also checked this option
But that's fine The only problem is that
we have to go back on the same
road So we cannot get an alternative This is our
first I would say more interesting day
Since we arrived in Cali Colombia
A place to sell popcorn
Crazy Just been stopped by
police Unfortunately I didn't
have the camera on But
when I explained to him that we are
foreigners And I speak just a little Spanish
He said "Oh perfect perfect go ahead "
And he let us
go Nothing
Now we're going to have like a few tunnels
Four or five tunnels
Crossing the highest peak of the mountain together
See all the trucks they're going without even lights
On the opposite lane
It's a busy
tunnel Very smelly
A lot of tunnels
Seven eight so far
And there will be even more They are very dark and very smelly With
a lot of traffic
Out of the tunnels
Much better much
better A lot of air
flow So green See
the fog over there
Nice It is starting to rain a bit
And I might need
to remove the camera
But that's fine Plamen
got his GoPro So we can have at least
one camera It looks
like we missed
the rain By just a little bit
It's fresh here Wet on the road But dry in
the air for now
A small town on the road
See the pigeons
Hundreds of pigeons
These are the local taxi
cars Very colorful
This is Buenaventura I guess
Nothing very interesting to see
The point of our visit is just to see the Pacific Ocean
That's it
We are just very close to
our final destination 600 meters
We should be somewhere at the end of the Pacific Ocean
This is the city's central area
No
He offers something but I don't know what
Let's see here
Take it take it
Yes yes Is
it possible
or not
Here
Yes yes Where
Here
Okay
This is the peninsula And
over there in
the far distance
is the Pacific Ocean This is
Paco Paco how are you Good
I expected that the first meeting with him would be in a more exotic
place I expected it to be a little
more exotic It's a very busy place
Here luckily the cost is not too bad A lot of restaurants a lot
of people There are a few famous
statues and buildings in this area
This is one of them
It' s like a seal
Not a seal
What's the word for this
Large animal Seal
And the lighthouse over
there We'll go to it as well
Smell of fish
This is now on top of the lighthouse
This is the town
This is the sea section
Pedestrian area This is the port From here you can
take a boat to Panama If you like
there is a port over there
And in the far far distance is
the Pacific Ocean It's
alright Thank you
This is Paco Paco
how are you
Wet
Wet
Yes It's wet
and there are a lot of people right
A lot of people
But it's
nice Something new A
new look
Now A very
important moment
I have to put my sticker here
So I will risk my life here now you see
What is the situation
Just to put my sticker here
On top of someone
else's sticker But I
don't have any other options Like
this So next time when you come to
Buenaventura you'll see my sticker
Alright Mission
completed
And this is the staircase to go down
Paco just refused to drink a beer here He
became a new man Not
going to drink anymore
This will be very interesting to see
And this is the main sign of Buenaventura
Here we go
Alright This was good But man it's
too hot with
all these clothes and all this humidity here
It's difficult
It's one way here So now we have
about three hours to go back to Cali
I hope it doesn't rain
You never know who is going to stop and who is going to keep going
Left here
Taxis
What is it like to ride around Buenaventura
Colombia
at Quasarism
This is some
kind of ghetto
Well it's an interesting ride
here But that's just
how it is
It was like half
an hour of heavy
rain and then dry after that
Look at the trucks
Any kind of trucks
mostly with this
American type
It can work
This will be a nice place to have
a beer and maybe
eat something
Now after the break
it is even better See
the views with all of these clouds Fantastic The
conclusion is that
on this side of the
mountain direction Cali
the road is much better
It's a two-lane road
It's more green
with beautiful views
There are many nice restaurants
next to the road
Much much better
On the other side
there's too much traffic and
a lot of trucks
Highway in some places
Here is much much better
Really enjoyable road
Now you're going to see what a real adventure girl is
Here we are on
two thousand and something meters
It's around
15 degrees
maybe less and
this girl is
with 125 and
she is as you
can see dressedproperly
All adventure girls that
you can see in Europe cannot
cope with this
girl Wonderful
We're approaching Cali now
Of course
traffic
jam before Cali
What you
see it 's
not legal but
if you ride
normally it will take
forever so you have to adapt or
it will be very
difficult for you
We came to the
supermarket to
buy some beer and more stuff
Why are you
going down I have 10
minutes in the supermarket
I have only
10 minutes
in the supermarket
The
motorcycle is
down OK Thank you
Motorcycle parking was down
I don't know what to
say We'll
stop and go up Done
After 3 or
4 unsuccessful
attempts to buy
beer finally we
got it
First day
There were some kind
of elections that they
didn't give
us The second
day they didn't give
us because until 10 o'
clock in the morning they
don't sell beer So this is now the third time
That I came here
that we
came here and
finally we got it Excellent
After perfect
riding day one thing
is very important
Perfect dinner
Thank you
very much Chef Plamen
Thank you very much
So we have potatoes
meat
onion black pepper
and of course
a lot of beer on top
so it will be
a fantastic meal
Yeah a little bit
of garlic
as well
and yeah we can
enjoy it perfectly
