Albania – Day 3

Lets take a bath in the sea!

good morning everybody we just spent the night at a very expensive hotel and I just have to say expensive hotels are kind of nice the beds were super soft there were no bed bugs we’ve got my own AC Wi-Fi is super fast and now we’re gonna go check out the free complimentary breakfast I guess it’s not free because we definitely did pay for it so it looks like we just sit down can I get omelette with ham um so we got an omelet I think there’s ham in there tomatoes butter and bread oh we have honey now I’m pretty sure that’s honey good meal let’s go on a walk this is a really nice town look at this there’s a laptop repair store that’s using the Internet Explorer logo these stores are always cool they’re gimmicky but they’re cool you guys might watch my videos and think that electric scooters are basically the same thing as electric bikes you might want to get one of these yourself but electric scooters are way more dangerous than electric bikes are because the wheels on scooters are so small there’s not a lot of rubber that’s actually contacting the road so if you’re going really fast and you hit the brakes it’s really easy for your wheels to lock up and start skidding on the asphalt and you’ll go sliding if you look on Reddit 9 out of 10 of the crashes you see on r slash e-bikes are from people that were on e-scooters not on e-bikes themselves bikes are much safer than scooters oh my God I’m reading the comments for yesterday’s video you guys are [ __ ] pathetic the reason that I complained about the 20 cent difference in the coffee isn’t because I was super greedy and I really wanted that 20 cents it’s because the restaurant that I stayed at before charged me 23 for something that wasn’t 23 like restaurants do that here or they will just up charge you just because you’re American like this is not about 20 cents I don’t care about 20 cents I care about the restaurants here being honest Jesus Christ good morning I’m checking out anybody want to make any bets if my unlocked bike is still in the parking lot hey it’s still here we are headed to the beach I’m going to preemptively apply sunscreen you know black people definitely have an advantage foreign to the beach to the beach beach beach beach look at all of this traffic we get to avoid because bike I’m not gonna lie when I pick this town on Google Maps I thought it would be like some small fishing Village but now it looks like it’s a tourist hot spot I mean I guess it is a Beach town so you would expect some kind of tourism industry yeah this is not exactly what I was looking forward to you know we’ve never done yet we have never tried riding on Sand and I’ve got the big tires so I think it should be able to do it honestly not a problem at all I’m looking at the prices hotels because I’m just curious how much one of these Beachside Resorts cost 43.59 62.60 dollars surprisingly cheap for like a Beachside Resort I see a lot of beds I’m not sure if we’re supposed to pay to use them if I can just set them up I’m gonna set one up and see if anybody complains like this feels like something you would typically need to pay for oh do I need to pay for this yes okay yeah see that’s what I was assuming I was assuming this is the kind of thing you got to pay for they’re gonna charge five euros to sell under an umbrella I [ __ ] hate Beachside towns well while we’re here let’s take a sec to do some more maintenance on the bike one of the things that I’ve noticed is that my derailleur isn’t quite aligned properly I am in the highest gear right now I’m supposed to be going as fast as I can but if you look at the chain you’ll see that it’s not quite on the highest gear it’s not aligning properly [Applause] are way less safe than an actual bike now I don’t know how to actually adjust my indexing on my derailleur so we’re gonna um YouTube it most common question we get is okay so I think I need to change something called a limit screw I need to unscrew it a little bit I’m pretty sure it’s this top screw right here that I need to loosen that actually works now I’m going to go through each of these gears and make sure that they actually do uh go to the right gear you’re good it’s up it by one did not work I’m going to line up the derailleur with each of the individual gears I’m just checking all of the gears to make sure it works for all of them foreign we can’t add some more grease to the chain while we’re here I feel like I put a lot of stress on the Chain while we were trying to climb those mountains I’m not sure if it’s worth it to invest in like a brush and just like actually scrape all of the dirt and grime out of this or if it’s moot because I’ll just get more dirt and grime inside of it later like maybe the existing dirt and grime is helping protect it from future dirt and grime so I think we’re gonna try something this little tourist [ __ ] can’t go on forever if we just keep riding along the coast eventually we will get to a part where it’s just like a wild Beach and we can camp there right we can just stay on the sand and just keep going if we’re gonna be riding on the sand I’m gonna relieve some of the pressure in the tires just to give them a little bit more surface area to grip onto I think we’ll do 15 psi and just see how it goes I can smell the Slime as the air leaves these tires I’m not sure why this part doesn’t get clogged by the slime like why am I able to let the air out of this without the slime coming out and clogging it damn it I got distracted and let too much air out okay I think we’re good to go I won’t lie deflating these tires makes riding on this uh bumpy road so much nicer I wanted a wild Beach I do see some restaurants across the street I guess we haven’t eaten lunch yet um can you guys by chance sell llama June uh oh Diet Coke yes okay we are getting goulash I asked him how much it was and he says just pay after just pay after oh big bread cool it’s hollow inside and then we’re gonna use our bread in the soup oh wow it’s very hot but hmm oh God coming here was a treat calls up oh my God I cannot get over how good this is there’s like chunks of beef in there I think that’s beef okay let’s go find out how much this costs okay it costs about eight dollars that’s reasonable in America but that’s really expensive here and it’s just because we’re in a tourist area with lots of hotels and stuff look at that we’re starting to get into some more wild Beach type territories now that we’re leaving the city look at that I see a tent as far as I’m concerned that means we can camp here I’m not sure exactly where I want to camp though you know what this spot is good enough for me we will Camp right here one downside of camping on the beach like this is that now sand is going to be everywhere for the rest of my life once you put your stuff down on the beach sand is there forever I will say one cool thing about putting up a tent on the beach is the stakes they go right into the ground you don’t need to like tap them with a rock you just push them in with your hand while you’re also on the beach you need to be careful about the sand because the sand is hard enough to scratch all of your devices your screens your lenses everything okay we got the tent set up now I’m gonna go set the solar panels up I’m not sure if the sun’s gonna come back out but if it does I want to collect all of it maybe we’ll get some power from it maybe we won’t but if the sun does come out we’ll be able to capture all of it you know it’d be really great right now a nice camping chair or maybe an inflatable bed I’m gonna spend this act doing tint cleanup wait a minute I have a tool that will make cleaning much easier and here here we are I was right the sun did come back out and I’m glad we put the solar panel up [Applause] and the last thing we got to do so the scent is set the fan up perfect I think later tonight we’re gonna go try taking a bath in the ocean wait a minute I just realized we don’t want to wait until tonight to take a bath because it’s literally cold and our stuff won’t dry uh we should go take a bath now I actually do keep soap right here I don’t have a towel so we’re just gonna have to use the sun to dry off oh my God I’m terrified oh hey it’s not that cold oh my God it’s so salty again I don’t have a towel so I’m just gonna use my old shirt oh then I’m just gonna drape my wet clothes over the tent to let them dry yeah honestly I’m glad I did this while the sun is still out now everything can dry off I believe we still have some drinks in the back of my bike yes we have two container we have two liters of Diet Coke and we have a can right here I will open the can right now I had forgotten until just recently why I don’t like the beach sand gets everywhere inside your clothes outside your clothes everywhere okay so there’s some other guys they’re uh cycling from Greece up to London um no I’m going from the top of Europe down to the bottom of Greece right now they’re gonna get their tents they’re gonna set up next to us it’s crazy talking to them about like other people that understand this stuff like that the Airbnb that you get every like third day so you can like take a shower go to the restroom they totally understand that it’s fantastic they just invited me to come eat with them [ __ ] it let’s go I’m Gonna Leave a bunch of my stuff here I don’t want to properly put it away yet because it’ll take some time so we’re just gonna throw it in the tent I’m honestly not sure where they want to go eat at okay do you guys want to see what other bike crackers are bringing you guys have seen my [ __ ] stand up okay you wanna give us a tour yes and we got we got some clothes up front in this bag um yes I’ve got some waterproof stuff in there so just the jacket got some candy good important see this is I had one of the inflatable ones ones that blow up but it got stolen by a kid in [ __ ] Serbia I think this is a good idea these are pretty small oh you guys you guys have so many water bottles oh and you got your you got your sleeping bag is what is this is this your tent yeah this is light tent and sleeping bag yeah oh this is so Sleek this is Sleek I don’t know how you live off of this this is nothing that’s like uh oh no that’s sleepy yeah sleeping bags and I’ve seen that mechanical staff travel mug and in here it’s just like two T-shirts one towel three socks 300 even got the special shoes for that yeah you are you’re a professional you got this we’re just gonna follow them damn it I was in such a rush I left my wallet back in the tent to the tent what a silly mistake to make with new friends now they’re sitting there eating and I’ve got to go get my [ __ ] wallet here we go I’m taking them to the same place that we had lunch the place with the gumbo soup let’s try this again these people were in Greece during the floods okay we’re heading back God listening to their stories fantastic they have done so many interesting things and look at that I don’t think anybody stole [ __ ] from my tent Google says it is not going to rain so we will just put this guy right there they’re gonna be setting up camp around here apparently he snores so he’s sleeping over there oh my God guess what I get to use [ __ ] your tent is so cute and small it’s like a definitely a one do you guys have the same tent yeah cool it’s pretty uh pretty cheap it’s quite cozy it’s so cool that I could use that again [Music] they are taking a swim there’s literally a horse walking into our campsite I know the horses kick really hard but do you want to go say hi okay we’ll leave it alone so I thought that was going to be the end of the Vlog but I’m editing the video now and holy mother of God the mosquitoes are [ __ ] there must be like a pond or something around here because there’s like you can hear them and there’s a cloud and it’s just tomorrow’s gonna suck when we’re tearing down the tent
