I don’t know how many checkpoints we’ve already passed—probably more than
twenty There’s no issue with the police no problem with the authorities so far
What else Which months Which years
I don't know More One more year
There's a tunnel that will take us to the other side of the mountain
I'm curious to see if the temperature changes since it's already there on the other side next to the ocean
Look at this
I have oil here four liters I'll get another six
but I'm bringing lead here as well so I can fill up the second motorcycle
Here it is
We brought four liters on my motorcycle for ten liters
I forgot now I'll bring four liters on your motorcycle
And we'll see when we'll have more space
How was the oil sold
At the back of the gas station
With dark scissors
That was the offer
She could see the patrol covering their backs
Without that offer nothing would be in your life
Stealing like that Yes yes
Singer my son Why Phone
These are his
networks
YouTube
Please do me the favor and keep following
Very well very well
Friends thank you so much See you
later
Thank you very much Goodbye
See you
We bought 10 liters for 5 dollars And I'll
give you a tip worth 1 dollar
Because the last oil we bought was 10 liters for 10 dollars
So it was
a good deal And all these people are waiting for the oil
There's plenty of time here so much time
Another oil station in Venezuela
Look at how many people are waiting
And how many motorcycles
This is the oil station
Well it's time to eat something
This will be our lunch Some
kind of meat
soup These things
Two beers We just negotiated
a price of ten dollars for
both after a lot of back-and
-forth But it's settled now
Today most of them are roads
But that's fine We still have
many kilometers to cover and the
original plan was to cross Venezuela as quickly as possible
I don't know how many search points we've already passed Probably more
than twenty But this is the
first one where we've been stopped
They only asked a few
questions Where are we from
Where are we going
They checked our passports
They even gave us some directions
They explained where we could
buy oil and things like that
They were absolutely friendly
They wished us good
luck And things like that
So there's no issue with the police
No problem with the authorities
Good afternoon sir
Do I need oil
Do you have
No Now I do
About how many kilometers
Good afternoon Do I
need oil I
don't have any
No
Bulgarian
Bulgaria
What
Alright
About how many kilometers
Five minutes
Just a moment Never
Okay Thank you
Alright
Oil again
So were able to buy another 10 liters
It'll be fine to go to San Carlos and Valencia There
we should be able to refuel the oil at the gas stations
This is San Carlos
They said there's an oil station here
Exactly where
We don't know
Let's go look for it
This is the line for the oil station
To the left
I found a hotel in Maracay
which is just past Valencia
about 250 kilometers from
here It's currently 3 p m
So it should be fine to get there on time
Because it's still too early to stop here now
San Carlos is a large city
It must have some interesting places to visit
But nothing particularly exciting from a motorcycle perspective
Maybe if you walk if you go to specific places
Definitely yes
But as a traveler I don't think that way
Eventually we changed the scene
All day almost the entire day on the road
Man it was extremely boring
We're walking
here now Everywhere
should be Valencia Then a nice
lake Good
The oil station has just two motorcycles
I hope I can fill the tanks here
What happened
Buying with
dollars cousin Dollars Yes yes
What else
Dollars cousin
Pumpa number Ticket
Yes yes
Okay okay
Let me go
20 liters
20 liters yes
10 and 10
Yes yes Separate
What else is
there beyond that
What's the issue
with gasoline What else
What months
What years I don't
know Anything else One

So you'll have to wait here
And finally Look
Twenty

20
20 liters

Thank you No
20 liters 20
20 liters
Yes
Thank you
Is the pump
ready yet Over there
Thank you thank you
With this ticket you go to the station and can refuel
This is the process
This was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had
It's like a motocross competition that has to start
Everyone's worried about oil
Man this government just
I don't know what to say about the government or the conditions under which these people live
Anyway we now have full tanks which means we don’t
need to think about fuel for another 400 kilometers
We'll find the hotel now and get ready for tomorrow
There's Capón
You can immediately see they don’t have the same issue with oil here There are so
many cars we haven’t even noticed yet It’
s already the second day here in Venezuela
There's a tunnel that will take us to the other side of the mountain I
'm curious to see if the temperature changes since it already is there
Next to the ocean
It might get a little wet
Far better than the Colombian tunnels
An accident
No no he blocked the car
Is it a catastrophe
No no he blocked the car
We're going to close in through the lenses
Faster
Look at this
This is Marrakech the city where we found the hotel
The gas stations here aren't that bad
There are people but not
too many It's fine
A hotel
A
hotel Hotel
No not this way
Look look Look Just
a moment
just a moment Look directions
Main Street of
Main Street of Camburrito
East Sector of Listo
As you know I'm a lucky guy
This guy stopped to ask me what we're looking for
And when I showed him the address he said "No it's not here "
I'll show you where it is
So he's going to escort us to the place now
These addresses can be really complicated here in Venezuela I can't
even find them properly on Google Man
it didn't even show up on the phone
He talked on the phone for about five minutes They
gave him all the directions
Yet it's still hard to find
So I hope this will be our third attempt at finding this place
Thank you so much thank you so much
Just a moment just a moment
Look look
Photo photo
YouTube Facebook Instagram TikTok all of them
Thank you so much
Yes yes
Thank you so much thank you so much
This will be a perfect spot to stop for the night
OK
Oh wonderful
This place cost us a total of forty dollars
A bit more than we're happy to pay
But it's very beautiful
It has two separate houses
Here
There
A good spot to hang some clothes and underwear
This is the bathroom
Very nice very clean
The owners are excellent
Y
We're going to the local store to buy some food
And we can prepare our meal here
They have a kitchen
So we need this after a long day—
12 hours and 600 kilometers today
So this will be the perfect place to stop
And our motorcycles are safe here
So perfect
Perfect deal
