What Went WRONG on That Day? Welcome to Honduras! - EP.343

It's my hair. Look, look at this. This matches my hair, doesn't it? Welcome to Honduras. Yay, we made it. We crossed the border yesterday and straight from the border I went to this little town, took a hotel because I had to have a shower. I was camping for eight days straight in El Salvador so I was just like really needed to make myself decent. And today we have some drama. Look what happened. Look what happened. My USB charger broke So I had to disconnect it And that means we have no power for navigation, for charging cameras while we're camping for nothing. So we're in trouble. But I am in touch with some local riders and they advised me there is this town not too far from here. Maybe, maybe, maybe possibly we'll be able to get one there So this is my drama at the start of our Honduras journey. Chillie, that's okay. If this is just the trouble, it's not a trouble at all. I still love you, you're still the best. We're gonna fix you very soon, don't worry. And at the beginning of our ride we have a heavy traffic. Chop, chop everyone! That's the road, road closure, that's why. Oh, there's like a whole new world here I didn't realize exists. Because this is the town where I stayed, right? There's a lot of roadworks on this road Are we there yet? We're actually, we are not, our first stop is not too far from here, only 7k so apparently this is going to be a, I'm not sure if it's an international park or it's just a beautiful valley view and stuff. Yeah, we're very close by. Okay, I think somewhere here we're gonna have a viewpoint Oh, oh sorry, sorry Chillie. To the valley, this is very nice. Yeah, I think this is it It's on the side of the road. Oh, what the hell Chillie, let's pull over here This is our beautiful view of the valley, unfortunately there won't be any drone shots in this country or Nicaragua, drones are not allowed here. Santa Rosa is only 70 kilometers away But it says two hours, because probably, because of the road There's a lot of roadworks, a lot of dust, that sort of stuff. Okay Chillie, let's keep going That's it, we made it to our final destination, Santa Rosa. We have a nice view on the right-hand side. Oh, whoa, whoa, Chillie, oh my god, this traffic is horrendous. I'm done for today, yeah This is like, it was 70 kilometers, but honestly we were doing it for an hour and a half for sure All right, I think we're in the heart of town now, this looks like a biggish set of town and tomorrow I will have an appointment with a mechanic here, but first let's get a hotel Oh, look at this shop, hairdresser, there was a hairdresser, I bet we'll need one soon Uh, this looks like an old town, looks like an old road, okay, right, I don't know, I have this hotel Take the next left onto Calle 1 South East, then turn right to stay on Calle 1 South East What ifs, I don't even know when I marked it and how I marked it, but I marked it, so I'm going to check this hotel first. The most important thing is parking for Chillie, of course. Righto, righto Let's go this way, Chillie. Your destination is on the right I like it, because it's got parking for you, Chillie, and it's undercover, and it's got a restaurante, I don't know if it's open, but let's find out. This is good, Chillie, I've got a good feeling about it. Oh, well done, honey, that was a tiring ride We're in, the room here is only $30, bargain, and look, I'm just looking at my forehead now This is like the gap between the helmet and the goggles, I followed so many tracks that got dust on my forehead, which hardly ever happens, actually it never happens because I never follow anyone in the dust, usually, but not today. Apparently, there's uptown with an old town, do you know what I mean? Like, if we follow up the road, we're gonna get to old town, so fine, let's go for a walk and eat something because I'm starving, but I need to make myself decent first. Okay, I made myself decent, we can go now We're going uptown, this is what we see here, I like this place, maybe we should eat there They have bike parking, that's very thoughtful of them. Right, and this is the little street Oh, there's so many shops here, but they're sort of like, yeah, you can't tell they're here because it's an old town. What's wrong with this town? I was expecting it to be like, you know, smallish sort of town Not much happening, but there's just so many good shops and yeah, so well supplied shops here And this, I think, electrical posts, it's just an artwork, I think, every time I look at a post like this, I'm thinking, who the hell knows what's going on there? I'm guessing this is the main church, and here on the other side, we have the park, and it's very green, it's so cool and clean I must say this town is very clean. I love it here, this town's got such a nice vibe Good morning, we're good to go, we all packed up. So, first thing we have to do in the morning is to go to Juan. Juan is a local mechanic, who I've been put touch through, put in touch through, oh my god, you know what I mean, and so I connected with Juan through local B&W riders, the beauty of being a part of motorcycle B&W community, they're the best, there are B&W clubs literally in nearly in every country I went through. So yeah, guys were so kind to give me all the tips, and they told me Juan is the man, and he's got a USB charger here for me, so we're going to see him now, and I'm gonna install that, and then, ah who knows, I have some suggestions, adios! All right, I think somewhere here, this is Juan, that looks like a bike shop, doesn't it? I'm not sure, this is it. Juan? No, no, um Juan, the mechanic, no? Juan Miguel? And I have made it to Juan's shop, this is Juan, mucho gusto. Right, so this is it, we have a very, so Juan managed to organize a very simple USB charger, which is kind of got a waterproof cap, so it's okay, one like that. Chili, look at you, getting this one now. That's it, it's on, Chili's got power, we connected it directly to the battery, we have a fuse, but this cap won't switch it off, so it will be always live, that's okay, it's only temporary, it will drain the battery a little bit, but I need this power when I stop, because I need to charge things when I stop, so um, yep, that's it, it's fixed, muchas gracias. And look at that, Juan's got a Harley. Juan is doing it, it's not easy, she's like very Oh, nice, love your work Juan, because it's very steep, great service, included reversing my bike, I love it, good job, it's okay, it's okay, well done, right, we're all good to go, so if you ever find yourself here, Santa Rosa, that's right, we're in Santa Rosa, so if you find yourself in Santa Rosa and you need help, apparently Juan is the best mechanic in town, and his shop name is Taylor Bertie, si? Si! Chili, Chili, I can't believe, oh, oh, Juan! So the first one didn't last, it's just the quality of that USB charger, but you never guess, 15 minutes later, someone brought to the workshop another USB charger, and this is exactly what I need, the one with the switch, so we can turn it on and off, so Juan is working on that one now, hopefully this one's going to last longer. Chili, behave, don't blow it this time. It's so steep here! I think it's just the quality, that's unlucky, okay, driving in, this one didn't last either, I don't know Chili, maybe third time we'll be lucky, we ran out of options of our USB chargers in this town, so now Juan's going to adopt a car, sort of, you know, the car, like one, so we're going to try to adopt this one now, but the problem with that one is that waterproof, it won't last long I think, but it is what it is, we have to just give it a go, I think he literally took it out of his car, try to install it, oh perfect, yeah, and we are done, so this is Juan's invention, here we go, he pulled this from his car, seriously, and then he gave me this, and this is a quick fast charging, so basically, that's it, we're doing old school way, hopefully this time it will work, that's okay, all right, third time lucky, hopefully, oh sorry, okay, and we ran, it's working, thank you so much, gracias, all right, adios, okay, yep, we're charging, Chili, we have to do it the old-fashioned way
