If you enjoy adventure riding, motorcycle trips, and real-world travel stories, this episode from Colombia is for you. Gear up and ride along!
So tomorrow morning at six o'clock we will be already on the road. Of course if the document
is here because the guy promised 100 percent but Thomas said that 100 percent Colombian
means like 70 percent Bulgarian and like 50 percent German so that's why I always say that
it's good to be in overall good health condition because you never know what you're gonna face
So I'm gonna try this chorito or whatever it is.
Good morning it is Saturday six o'clock in the morning we are ready to go just loaded the bikes
The goal today is to ride around 500 kilometers north east from Cali
We started as a simple walk to see these three crosses on the top of this mountain
And then now we have these big stones and I told that I'm not gonna film
but then Paco told me no you have to film I will hold the camera so now he's my
he's my sherp. Paco just said that if it's in Bulgaria he'll try it with the motorcycle
and he said it's not that bad we can do it and one lady is even dancing over there
we are ready to do anything just to kill the time and of course sweating like a crazy
and now I can see this 25 extra kilos that I have that they're a real problem
So as I said many times guys the weight always matters it might be on you or on your motorcycle
but it matters.
Yeah we're training for not expected difficulties that we might have on the road
I hope not like this but the view getting better and better and better
Nice good that at least the sun is now behind the clouds so it's a little bit better
but still tough. All right we're on the top of the nearest mountain it has three very big
crosses on the top so we start this simple walk or we thought it's going to be simple walk
because we are bored our documents are still not ready our friend said that eventually we're going
get them on friday so one of the motorcycles already done the second will take two more days
so we had nothing to do and we decided to make this walk and the denivelation is really big
it's really steep you can't see it on the camera but you can feel it in my voice
the lighter you are the better
simple walk yeah they said simple walk thousand stairs converted to something else
yesterday we did almost nothing staying all day just eating and today was
necessary to do something that's why I always say that it's good to be in
overall good health condition because you never know what you're gonna face like today
good that at least he got my tank back so I can have one arm free it's so hot probably around 30
degrees in Bulgaria it's around zero celsius see what is the situation we dropped a lot of water
you can hear the different sounds of the nature different birds ah this is the top
I guess here you can drink something eat something bananas
and crosses even fitness if you like all right mission completed there is a
natural fitness here on the top it's a good uh if you walk in the town
to live in the town you can walk up to here do some exercises and go back
I'm gonna drink fresh orange juice it costs three dollars less than three dollars
400 milligrams
good huh very nice now what goes up must go down but now is the easiest part there is another route
which is like more uh you see what it is no flat it will be easy to go down now we're gonna use the
same track because the others we are not sure where exactly to lead us might be on the other
side of the mountain and will be difficult to find our apartment so we'll use the same go down
good morning from Cali Colombia this is already a week exactly one week we are here but nothing we
can do about it we're just waiting for the documents eventually they will come today
Patos title of his motorcycle is already here we expect mine and it should be around lunchtime
so tomorrow morning six o'clock we will be already on the road of course if the document is here
because the guy promised 100 percent but Thomas said that 100 percent Colombian means like 70
percent Bulgarian and like 50 percent German so the truth is somewhere in between as you know
so we're gonna make a walk around the city just to kill some time and eventually got the title
today
this is the local mall that we visited almost every day because it has a cash machine also
supermarket and here is also the taxi stand by the way the taxis are very cheap you can have like
five six to eight kilometers for two three dollars only it's really worth to use it as we can see
it's a big civilized city so now we enjoy the civilization until we can
and eventually we and you will see as well what is the difference small park
bridge some nice cathedral let me see will they let me film inside
this is the tallest building in the town i believe it's like a 100 meters the river on the right
the city is not bad at all look at the shape of this bus it has the perfect aerodynamics
it's interesting for us bamboo tree mango tree all of these exotic things that we don't have at home
by the way motorcycle shops are everywhere all brands own models very big shops
with a lot of stuff inside anything you like ktm honda harley davidson victory chinese brands
royal enfield everything everything this is honda shop really big shops very well organized
customer service very well from the moment you come in and someone come and
asking you to help you it's all good organized and in fact it is much easier to buy a new
motorcycle than a second hand this is india brand hero a lot of motorcycles i just asked for the
price and we'll see now how much they are so maybe alternative for someone who does not want to buy
second-hand motorcycle
three thousand dollars

kilometers

Kilometers?
Kilometers, how much?

One more question
I am a foreigner
Can I buy?
Do you have your passport?
Yes
No problem
Thank you very much
Bye
So, me like a foreigner
Not a problem to come here
Buy any motorcycle
For example this Hero 200cc
Costs around 3,000 dollars
And of course you have to pay for insurance
A little bit more to registrate it
But it's actually a faster process
Than we faced right now
5,000 dollars
So for example Patsos motorcycle
Costs around almost 4,000 dollars
And we wait here one week to change everything
Of course it's a better motorcycle
But it's an alternative
For someone who does not
Want to go with all of this mess
So now I want to shop
Oils, tires
Everything
This is very popular here
It's a juice from sugar cane
See the cane
They smash this
And this is the juice
It's a lot of sugar
These are the small streets around city center

Charisma or charm

When we spend
Like 20-25 euros
