All 7 days of e-bike riding through Albania in 4k!
good morning everybody it is hard for me to express how wildly uncomfortable I am right now there are some people over there fishing until like 3 A.M last night I kept getting worried they were going to come over and try to steal my stuff and it turns out sleeping on the dirt is actually not all that comfortable I was using my jacket as a pillow like this but it’s not all that helpful actually oh yeah another thing people they keep driving by this road to go like access the river and keeps waking me up long story short I did not pick a very good spot to camp one small constellation is that because we didn’t actually set anything up the only thing we’ve got to do is roll the sleeping bag up setting up camp is gonna be super fast [Music] yeah all of these people they drove in on their cars and they woke me up good morning going a little early morning walk God damn the sun coming over the peaks of the mountains right there we’re in Albania there was a dog around here somewhere last night too he was just sleeping right outside my tent I’m not sure where he went our battery is almost dead and we don’t have a bunch of Wiggle rooms so we’ve got to head into town and charge up it does not seem like there are mosquitoes out right now which makes me happier than I can express foreign the bottom of the tarp is wet I think we’re gonna let this dry off for a second while we wait for that to dry off and come over here and get some breakfast this of course comes in the form of banana and Diet Coke they’re cold I want to take us act to address some of the goofy questions you guys keep asking me starting off with why I don’t get a second battery obviously getting a second battery would double my range would make it much easier to travel through the mountains the thing is where would I get a second battery at you think that they sell them at the local supermarket you think I can pick them up with my bananas whining about getting a second battery isn’t going to make somebody deliver it here to my campsite this is more or less dry now it’s probably good foreign [Applause] check this out I found a little cafe right next to the river let’s go find an outlet oh hey they’ve got outlets right here perfect are you open can I get a menu [Music] um apparently they also serve food here but I can’t read the menu so we have to use Google Translate they don’t have a lot of breakfast food here but they’ve got something called a Albanian creme brulee okay let’s see if they will let me get that so I couldn’t find any like breakfast foods breakfast yeah do you have breakfast just one yeah so I’m not sure what I ordered he just said it’s got eggs and cheese and salad so is this like a messy meal they brought this uh this paper table plate thing it makes me wonder how messy the meal is gonna be though like why oh my God look at this okay so we got some like cheese stuff we got eggs Tomatoes a bunch of bread oh and it’s toasted oh it’s like basically garlic bread these won’t go away go God damn it leave my food alone I also got this just to show you guys this is the iced tea that I like I can actually finish this there is a sugar-free version in America they clearly don’t have it but this stuff is fantastic the battery is not finished charging yet but I feel like we’ve been here long enough I don’t wanna like like I said restaurants aren’t really made for loitering and the same way coffee shops are like the restaurant is probably the upper limits we’re going to head into town go to an ATM machine and then we will start heading to the coast again though we’ll have to find out okay let’s see what their fees are they want to charge six dollars and fifty cents no why are all the ATMs in these countries so scammy okay another bank let’s give them a shot gonna give it a jiggle just to be sure these people want to charge six dollars everything online says this Bank shouldn’t be charging a fee but it does fine this makes me like Albania a lot less I just paid a 10 fee for this I’m trying to find a route to the coast that doesn’t take us on state streets because I don’t want to be going past people that are going 80 miles an hour it seems like I’ve boxed myself in by being around all of these Lakes because everywhere we go from now is uphill I don’t want to do that it looks like there are not any major cities for a long time like 120 miles it’s not great I’m not thrilled but we’re just gonna have to make it work I’m mostly just worried about how much battery capacity we have um somehow we need to get down there to that bridge I think I messed up while we hunt for a way to get down I’m gonna throw away all my trash from last night banana peel okay resuming there’s another cow just chilling there we could not avoid going on the big fast Road that’s one for a while so we’re gonna stop just because we might need something of course no Coke Zero there’s something next door that looks like it might be a restaurant Maybe oh it’s a cafe let’s get a lemon tea and then charge up we didn’t get a completely charge everything up at the restaurant this morning costs a dollar it’s fun Outlet yep we’re good at least now we know we will start the trip with a 100 full battery that’s something and we can wait out the heat potentially okay she’s ready to go we have to cross 40 miles and we have to go up 5 000 feet I’m glad we were able to charge the battery if I had to guess I would say that we’re probably going to need to make another stop and set the solar panel up it has not cooled down it is still burning hot outside Google says it’s 92 degrees right now I’m a little bit worried because basically the entire route there is just fast Interstate roads okay let’s go I’m getting off the super busy one and moving on to like a secondary busy road More Cows just chilling cow cow oh wow they’re pissing everywhere woof glad this guardrail is here it’s both parts cool and terrifying being this high up knowing that like you could fall I put the bike in first gear I put it on low power mode we don’t need to get there fast so I’m going to do a lot of the work with my legs just slowly climbing the mountain the only reason I’m able to do this is because there’s not a lot of traffic if there were fast cars buzzing by me I couldn’t go slow like this this is kind of nice we have 25 miles left so after riding up and down these mountains for the past couple of days I’ve decided that I don’t want to do this again when we’re figuring out how to get to Georgia we’re not going back over these mountains oh 20 miles left and we still have 80 battery using my legs more is definitely helping a lot 40 percent I believe we’ve reached the highest point you guys want to see what 5 000 feet in the air looks like ah that bike did that I’m gonna go ahead and grab a snack here Coke and some croissants it’s hot it’s very warm I like them cold better okay let’s go murder my brakes now I wonder if it ever snows here like during winter what these mountains look like they don’t look like they ever get snow oh my God my first time in all of Europe a driver just waved at me as I passed first time ever I do that a lot because I’m from Iowa you always just like wave at people but they just did it to me [Music] I like Albania we have 20 battery left and 12 miles to go I’m not worried I am super confident we’ll make it I have no idea where the we are but it starts to keep going straight so that’s where we’ll go yeah there’s like a mine or a factory or something here I’m assuming of mine because of the dump trucks more uphill it’s not cows this time it’s goats we are two and a half miles away from the city we’re stopping in sunglasses would be helpful I can’t really wear them though because of my glasses we’re one mile away okay this town right here is called fushi Ares Fouche Ares something and because this town is way out in the middle of nowhere they don’t get a lot of tourists so the hotels are really cheap I got a room for 14 a night Hotel International given that we are smack dab in the middle of the mountains I don’t know how good the internet connection here is going to be and look at that Mike made it I’m sure um [Music] perfect okay 14 a night we have a bed oh let’s check out the bathroom shower why do we have two toilets I have two beds let’s check their Wi-Fi speeds that’s terrible oh my God that’s so bad okay the internet is much better outside of my room so this is where I’m gonna be doing all my uploads they don’t have an elevator so we’ve got to carry all of my stuff up like four floors let me reiterate 14 a night it’s Times Like These that I wish my wasn’t so heavy now I just need to find out where I want to lock my bike this tree will do after many many flights of stairs whenever my legs get tired I’m just going to remind myself fourteen dollars fourteen dollars I think this place has a restaurant inside of it but I’m not sure if that’s where I want to go this is a strange little mountain town I actually have no idea what their export is that they can afford to have roads paved in basically marble another store that does not have Coke Zero can I get a menu for one percent one person yes let’s see what this place has um can I get the grilled pork yes with rice and pasta he asked me where I’m from I’m just like oh you know America he just looks at me weird like America yes I promise I’m from America this hurts me to have to drink okay it doesn’t hurt that bad it tastes very sweet thank you so much okay so this was grilled pork I think this was somewhere in the neighborhood of seven dollars it comes with this the rice and the pasta is still coming it tastes just like steak oh look at that we got the rice it’s a little overcooked it’s fine ah here we go and this is the pasta you know in my head it wasn’t three full course meals it was like the meat and then a side of cider pasta and a side of rice but whatever we’ll deal with it that’s really good okay I’m good let’s go pay so somehow I spent 23 on dinner cool thank you so much I’m pretty sure it should not have been 23 I looked at the menu the meat was seven dollars the rice was two dollars the pasta was three dollars the coke maybe been two dollars there’s no way that adds up to 23. but the kid was just like oh well I’m pretty sure it’s 23 and I didn’t want to argue with him I’m not gonna like make a scene in front of a restaurant so twenty three dollars we’re gonna go see if we can find another supermarket and see if there’s Coke Zero there okay we got another Market just Coke oh hey Coke Zero we got cans we’ll take that oh well look at that four dollars for all of it oh wait I’m gonna get a second pair of clothes so we can take a shower okay now we’re ready 23 on dinner a damn um okay so I gotta put the shower head up here some assembly required I guess God damn it get up there you might bother stay no stay I got it we’re gonna pull this chair out it’s a balcony [Music] I’ll catch you guys tomorrow pause pause pause bed bug check when you’re checking us you’re looking for like black spots I don’t see anything okay we’re good now end of Vlog good bye good morning everybody I’m waiting on a video to finish uploading so we can’t leave quite yet but we can get some breakfast I’m just going to leave this here I’m sure it’ll be fine it’s got to finish uploading I’m not sure which places are even open for breakfast right now I see people drinking in here I’m not sure if it’s food though no they don’t have food let’s see if my hotel serves food actually looking through the windows I see a whole bunch of people drinking coffee but nobody eating food okay so apparently they don’t have like a breakfast menu they have One Singular breakfast item and we ordered it they call it the standard laptop is still there I’m just picking up my phone from the charger okay let’s go try this standard breakfast another thing smoking inside is pretty common oh thank you so much so it is basically the same thing we had for breakfast yesterday there’s no Bees but they have honey and they have bread oh that’s not honey that’s not honey that’s not honey at all even though it’s not honey it’s still pretty good definitely a quality meal a little disappointed we didn’t get honey but still good it cost five dollars I wonder how much longer we’re gonna have to wait for that video to upload I want to get out of here before the Sun starts getting mean 82 uploaded two hours left no okay it finished uploading okay I believe the only thing we need to do now is go to the supermarket get some supplies and then hit the road I am getting so fast at setting up and tearing down my bike like when I first started this it took me like a half hour to get everything strapped to my bike securely but now I can probably get the whole thing off and back on in five minutes I’m pretty sure the story we went to last night that has the diet coke is up here somewhere yes it’s right here oh they’ve got a cold one let’s take that oh look they’ve got instant ramen noodles if I had a pot and something like to cook with we might look at getting them but I can’t cook right now oh check it out we can get a bag of chocolate chip cookies for less than two dollars thank you so much six dollars sixty cents before we head out though I think we are gonna try these chocolate chips I want to make sure they’re actually good I don’t want to depend on them and then find out they suck when I’m hungry God look at this look at how much storage space we have now we had nowhere near this much storage space with the last bag okay chocolate chip cookie time okay thank you yeah it’s pretty good okay I think that we’re good to go start heading toward the coast again God damn it my bike is really back heavy so it has a tendency to pop wheelies we are going to head to a town called puke or puke Puck it’s about 12 miles away but once we get there we can stop at a coffee shop and we can wait for the sun to go down a little bit I don’t want to ride during midday Heat oh my God you can smell the pine trees oh it smells so great there was somebody in the comments of my last video and they said that I’m too concerned about my brakes I am properly concerned with my brakes in the mountains here if my brakes fail that is game over out on the coast or out in the farm Fields it’s whatever my brakes fail I can get them fixed if they fail out here I’m done okay I just want to say Albania is probably my favorite country that I’ve ridden in so far the road conditions are basically perfect there’s very little traffic you can go as fast as you want this is and it’s beautiful outside obviously it’s beautiful we’re back to using our feet [Music] we are about half a mile away from pukes Albania see if we can find a coffee shop it’s a pretty small town honestly this looks sort of like a cafe hello um are you guys open do you guys sell coffee 15 miles but we’ll still top it up yes thank you and we got a cappuccino now we’re just gonna wait here for a couple hours till the sun goes down oh it’s pretty good pronounce it okay update it is not pronounced puke it’s pronounced Puka Puka apparently the guy is paying for my coffee for me that’s super sweet yeah he just covered it that’s super sweet he tells me that it’s just a small little village and it’s crazy seeing an American here puka okay here’s what the router’s looking like I have seven days to be able to be in Greece or when we ride down the coast of Albania we will hop on a ferry from this down here into Petrus then we will ride from pedrus into Athens and we’ll go from Athens on another ferry over here to Turkey so two fairies one two with a little bit of writing in Greece it’s super doable we just need to know if it’s doable in seven days okay I’m looking at the map to get to the coast and it’s basically straight downhill so it’s gonna be super easy our battery should last the entire trip there it’s like 50 miles our battery is done charging it’s 1 30 so it’s still pretty hot outside but we can probably head out God figure out all of the ferries that we need to jump through to get through Greece in six days is intense if one Ferry goes out then the whole plan just goes yeah the sun’s still out but it’s not super hot yeah I basically just stopped locking my bike up my bike is so heavy at this point that without the battery in it it’s not really going anywhere it really does have a lot in common with the motorcycle I won’t do that overnight but in a coffee shop like this it’s fine and especially considering this is a small ass Village God damn it stay up let’s go ahead and eat some of these cookies they’re warm one last thing before we head out sunscreen okay honestly I’m not concerned enough with my brakes I should be looking at my brakes every day I lose a couple of minutes but I could potentially save my life tell me again that I’m too concerned about my brakes if I hit this I would like flip over I would go right down that Cliff these are super sharp turns [Music] I just want you guys to see this look at it I’m not trying to scare you cow scared cows are dangerous watch out where who is deleting all of these cows nobody they’re just out here walking by themselves good good that’s healthy if I had to guess I would say that that is where we are going it’s down there we are 25 miles away from the shore [Applause] it’s having us leave the main street again to go off on these little side Adventures okay but seriously look at how good the roads are here I am constantly amazed that I’m not jumping over potholes or writing down dirt paths I spoke too soon didn’t I thing is I can’t tell if this is representative road again it was short-lived we’re back on asphalt you know what no I stand by it we are out in the middle of nowhere and these roads are still really good foreign like this are honestly really fun to ride down they’re not so bad that you have to stop and get off your bike but there’s still some obstacles you’ve got like Dodge stuff I feel like you’re riding a mountain bike through like tracks and courses and stuff like riding on asphalt like this is more pleasant but it’s not as much fun it’s not as interesting you don’t get to do as much stuff okay so I don’t think if the Albania just has really good roads I think all of this stuff is like brand new within the past couple of years like all of these roads look way too good to be aged we are definitely out of the mountains now heads up this place does not paint their speed bumps or they’ll just be a speed bump in the middle of the road you’ll break your suspension sometimes they’re as easy to see as this rope other times it’s just like a slight bulge in the concrete um Okay can somebody explain to me where I am it feels like I’m on like an Airport runway there’s a like a rectangular concrete slab and then there’s these little uh things just it feels like I’m on a Runway okay I see another motorcyclists yeah I have no idea which parts of this or Road and which parts of this are not Road it’s just I’m gonna drive wherever it looks like this guy is doing some farming on the runway looks like that’s the end of our Airport runway Shenanigans oh just like I found a dog you guys know what that means it’s time to give him some vitamins come here pup puppy where’d you go up it’s okay he’s gone well there’s a donkey I’ll just leave this here on the ground for him he might be able to smell it we’re gonna grab a snack while we’re stopped here I’m pretty sure we’re 10 miles away from the coast but that 10 miles is gonna seem longer because we have to go slow on these side roads foreign see this is what I mean the speed bumps have no paint and they’re really hard to see if the Sun is like even mildly in your eyes but this will up your suspension if you hit this going fast so steep okay we made it to town I’m not sure if I want to stop here if I want to go all the way to the shore let’s stop for a second and figure out what we want to do ladies and gentlemen welcome to Les he District there’s a bench up ahead we can sit down we’ve only got 10 battery left let’s stop at one of these places and charge can I get the cappuccino cappuccino yes thank you yes this place has their Outlets underneath the chairs update that outlet didn’t work so now we’re moving right next to the bike this cappuccino was a dollar Thirty wait pause look at this on the menu it literally says it’s 1 30 and here they’re charging me 150. we’re gonna talk about that got a question for you so right here on the menu cappuccino 130 mm-hmm right there it says 150. she gave me the wrong receipt hmm [Music] okay side note I mastered the girl on Tinder back when I was in Kosovo Kosovo was like a long ways away from here and it turns out we are like basically in the same place she’s maybe 40 miles away from me even after all of this time we both just like traveled in the same direction I’m not gonna lie there’s like an 80 chance that all of the plans we just made are going out the window and we’re heading up into Montenegro now there’s a really good chance we’re going to Montenegro we are definitely not anywhere near fully charged but the sun is going down so we should probably figure out where we’re gonna be sleeping for tonight I’ve actually just been sitting here talking to that girl on Tinder okay update I take everything back that I just said um she was just messaging me and she says that she works for an I.T firm where they deal with crypto and I’m not sure if you guys have ever heard of a pig butchering scam but basically there will be a cute girl she’ll try to get you to talk to them she’ll talk about how she invests in crypto and if you invest with her you can make good money and so let’s try to get you to send her Bitcoin I’m not sure if she’s doing that but it’s got some warning signs so I just got all excited about nothing I am such a okay so I basically just straight up called her a scammer a 40 year old dude in India trying to get Bitcoin from Western guys she’s not she’s real um she’s the assistant I am a I need to find a more tactful way to ask people to verify their identity I guess ugh it’s so late I totally forgot that we need to like do things so she’s definitely not a scammer for whatever that’s worth I have not told this girl how tall I am yet though um I’m not sure how I’m gonna Broach that with her oh you can smell the ocean or the sea whatever they want to call it it’s a little bit dark to set up a camp right now we can do it it’s just it would not be very fun there is a somewhat expensive hotel just up the street we typically stay in really cheap hotels so I’m kind of curious what expensive hotels look like it’s called Hotel lists oh and apparently it comes with breakfast included there are some very steep steps and I don’t know how to get up there without going up the Steep hell okay up the stairs for all the people that ask why I don’t just bring my bike inside like that I can’t get it up I can’t get it up there uh yeah thank you okay perfect okay we were able to find parking they’ve got a parking garage here now let’s go check in I’m not actually even sure if I need to pay for parking even if they try to charge me for parking because I can just get around this thing like they can’t they can’t keep me in okay uh do you speak English okay we are on the first floor this is what the expensive hotels look like okay hey it’s got multiple shower heads and a water heater I’ve got my own personal water here like it feels fancy it’s got lots of the it’s got lots of the charm of like a fancy apartment or a fancy hotel but I’m not sure if it’s worth five times the amount that we paid yesterday I guess we’ll have to see what the breakfast looks like if the breakfast is really good I’ll change my mind 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 omelette 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 oh these doors 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 slide it if you look on Reddit nine 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 to the beach to the beach beach look at all of this traffic we get to avoid because bike 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 but 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 do I need to pay for this yes okay yeah see that’s what I was assuming I was assuming that’s the kind of thing you got to pay for they’re gonna charge five euros to set 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 yeah see those 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 how do I 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 worked now I’m going to go through each of these gears and make sure that they actually do uh go to the right gear first here good top 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 we got it 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 what 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 poorest 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 going to 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 lemon juice 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 [Music] oh wow it’s very hot but hmm oh God coming here was a treat goulash she calls it 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 in 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 a stack doing tent 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 then it’ll be 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 oh 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 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 want to give us a tour yeah so we got we got some clothes up front in this bag um yes I’ve got some waterproof stuff in there so just a 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 though 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 I don’t know I sleep yeah sleeping bags and they’re sleeping matte mechanical stuff 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 through 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 is 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 10 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 good morning everybody it is six o’clock right now you can see the sea right there puppy stop no go away there’s a dog over there in the neighbor’s food but you know what we actually have a puppy no we still have our dog vitamins oh yeah no he’s just broken into their food bad dog come here you can have one of these here you go you only get one though no hello no you only get one good morning everybody God damn hi pop no leave their food alone we’re gonna come back here we’re gonna get some of that mosquito repellent it’s funny they told me that that guy sleeps over there because he snores really loud and I didn’t think much of it I’m like oh there’s no way he could snore that loud no he snores that loud I’m not sure if I want to leave now when everything is all cool and comfortable or if I want to wait till the sun comes up more so that everything has a chance to dry off because the Dew has got my stuff uh pretty wet so this is not the ocean I’m pretty sure this is the Adriatic Sea and we didn’t have any problems with people bothering us on the beach so I think that the beaches are public if there’s a place that you can go that doesn’t have like umbrellas already set up fair game that dog is still over there eating their food God damn get up I probably should get everything set up can you guys imagine how happy I’ll be when the day finally comes that Coca-Cola sponsors me oh my God my bike is literally dripping wet maybe I should wait for everything to dry off a little bit definitely too wet to put away so here’s what I think we’re gonna do we’re gonna get a book and we’re gonna go to one of the tables over there we’re gonna sit down and if somebody asks us for money we will run away real fast or bring the diet coke too I don’t think anybody is here working right now so we might be able to get away with this it looks like the other people are waking up I’ve mentioned this before in some of my earlier videos but if this channel does well enough and we’re able to make enough money to buy a boat that’s what we’re gonna do we’re gonna buy one of those small little boats we’re gonna put a solar panel we’re gonna put a electric motor and a couple big lithium iron phosphate batteries in there and we’re gonna go sail around the world on nothing but solar power I’ll even get a little fishing rod and we’ll go fishing and we’ll eat all of the stuff that we catch I just need to be able to you know buy a boat but boats and Equipment are expensive so we’ll have to wait for that unless there are any boat companies that want to review I will review your boat what time do you guys typically head out in the morning so one of the things that we’re going to do is we’re going to make sure that we go nice and slow to make sure none of the sand stays with my stuff we’re gonna we’re gonna shake all of the sand out oh my God so look at this the my tent has these Pockets right here and the condensation will come on my tent and will drip down inside my pockets is like a puddle of water my GoPros were in there hell yeah so maybe not the best design to have your pockets here how far do you guys think you’ll get today come on I hurry up okay now we’re gonna shake this and try to get all of the sand out check it out I’ve got more dogs over there let’s go feed them okay so this is the one we already fed earlier ah you guys are making me so dirty stop oh my god dog okay chill chill okay that one’s been fed stop stop you’re making me so dirty okay that one’s been fed and now it’s your turn nope nope dog nope give it it’s this dogs okay cool all dogs have been fed I’m covered in dirt now you guys got me so dirty okay in hindsight maybe not the best idea because they’re following me to my campsite now I have a dog Army this little guy’s just chilling in the shade yes hello oh no come here it’s okay I don’t have any more food but come here God damn it dog yeah you are soaking wet just as a reminder if you guys are interested in getting multivitamins for your dog this is a 90 day supply you can get it in The Tick Tock shop I think there’s like a 20 coupon right now um yeah Tech has multivitamins no trash can somewhere this is a great camping site and it’s free I’m pretty sure that this part is the part where you pay for and then over here is the wild of each part one of the downsides of filming everything is it takes ever it takes like three times as long to do you got to set up the camera oh yeah no no I don’t I don’t deal with any of that extra having to go back and get the camera I don’t have drones I don’t have any of that stuff so my clothes haven’t finished drying off yet so rather than actually putting them back I think we’re just going to clip them to a carabiner and have it like dangle off of my bike so it’ll dry over today and I hope that they just won’t like fall off while I’m riding okay I think I’m gonna head out I will catch you guys later we might see each other in Montenegro possibly yep you guys do I possibly could have ridden with them given that we are kind of headed in the same direction we’re both headed to montegro but because my bike is an e-bike it has uh different challenges for example charging that they don’t want to spend five hours in a cafe just to wait for me to charge and I go much faster than they do my bike is a little bit faster than theirs if we run into other people on e-bikes I think it’ll be much easier to ride with them but until then we ride alone not exactly sure where we are riding to but wherever we’re going go today oh I just remembered I should re-inflate my tires now that we’re not going to be driving on the beach I lowered the pressure in my tires so that we could go on the sand but if we’re gonna be going on the city streets we definitely want all of the efficiency we can get we’re going to be here for like a half hour this is not a large pump oh God I’m looking at my chain there’s sand all over it I’m gonna sacrifice this shirt We’ll Wash it later but I’m gonna try to get all of the sand that I can out of my chains that’ll absolutely eat it up yeah I guess this is just a sacrificial shirt I’m sorry I think I need water to wash it out actually I don’t think I’m gonna be able to get this with a dry rag there’s a market right next door okay water bottle I hope it’s not carbonated I can push it so it’s not I just need the water okay same thing as before you use our teeth to puncture hole and now we’re gonna use this to wash it off I’m pretty sure the motor is waterproof so we don’t need to worry about that I’m just gonna get all of the sand out of all of the gears and cogs I’m not sure if I should keep a shirt and just have it as like my mechanic shirt for whenever I do bike work to keep my or if it’s worth holding on to it all while that dries we’re just gonna get back to pumping we do need to reapply the grease though or the the chain lube 30 PSI good now I just gotta do the other wheel it seriously does take like a half hour to pump these tires up to the right pressure I feel like the chain is probably dry though so we can apply the oil to it it’s technically not oil it’s a dry lubricant like it comes on wet but it dries solid I think it’s like graphite regardless and by the way I didn’t say the black people don’t get sunburned or that they don’t get skin cancer they still need to wear a sunscreen they just get less sunburned and less skin cancer than I do that is an advantage over me in regards to this that’s an advantage I’m not saying they don’t get sunburned they’re just a little bit better at it than me okay there we go this train will be good to go in like 10 minutes once this dries get all the tools back inside the thing okay there we go and in case you guys don’t believe me go look up skin cancer rates in white people versus black people black people get it a lot less often than white people do you know what I’ll keep the shirt maybe a washing machine can clean it we’ll find out I believe we’re good to go now re-inflating the tires makes the road a lot more bumpy but it’ll make our battery last longer foreign okay hold up I saw something I’m not sure what kind of fruit this is but we’re gonna Thief it it looks like maybe an apple genuinely no idea what kind of fruit it is definitely not ripe yet my kickstand just landed on my foot um I guess that’s what I get for being a thief okay but I know what these fruit are these are pomegranates and they’re not even growing anybody’s yard there’s wild all of these trees are pomegranate trees it doesn’t look like any of them are ripe though I’ll still try some of the seeds even if they’re a little not bread yet that was good if we came back in a month I’m sure they would all be very ripe seriously all of these are pomegranate trees okay but this this is definitely stealing stay up God damn it okay this is definitely stealing I’m gonna steal one though oh my God that tastes like grape juice holy oh my God these are so good you know I’m just realizing right now we haven’t eaten breakfast we should do that let’s stop for some food and give these poor Farmers a break okay looking at it now I don’t think that they’re growing The Grapes so much as crops as they are using it just to wrap around their fence they’re using it kind of like a hedge yeah see like look at this inside of there they’ve got like a farm with like a pasta and stuff but on the outside is where they’re growing The Grapes I don’t think that they’re using these for like crops I think that these are just decorative that’s my way of justifying stealing their food and also as a side note to Farmers if you don’t want people stealing your food don’t let it hang off the side of the road because I will take it I will just I will just munch on it gorgeous foreign hell you see this this is what I’m talking about there’s no indication that there is any speed bump here and you just up your suspension God damn paint your speed bumps like speed bumps don’t do any good if people don’t slow down all you’re doing is breaking their car the point of a speed bump is to get people to see it and be like Oh I’m gonna slow down gotta put some sunscreen on this is the only country I’ve been in so far that doesn’t clearly mark their speed bumps we have about 38 miles till we get to the city we’re looking for and maybe two bars of battery left we should find a place to charge I don’t think we’ll make it on our current battery apparently we are in a city called barbalush let’s take a look at it um Outlets yes we found an outlet good we’re gonna be getting something called Burak uh some of my people in my comment section said I should try it so we’re gonna try Burak laptop backpack and batteries thank you over here okay so apparently this is Burak it’s triangular bread uh Coke yes Coca-Cola yes thank you it’s just cheesy bread I don’t like cheese yup two stars out of ten they don’t have Coke Zero so this is what we got oh my God they’re so nice here he said they also have pizza here so I’m gonna not eat that and get some pizza and sin yes yes oh thank you so much this looks fantastic oh so good oh look at this thing oh yes back when I was vlogging in America and I was living out of my car I didn’t really get experiences like this whenever I was going to sleep I would just go find a parking lot and sleep there I would go get breakfast from McDonald’s I would fill up at a gas station I would never sit in a place like this and just like talk to locals and experience the towns a bike is a really good option if you want to actually experience the places you’re visiting I will say they keep offering me cigarettes I keep telling them I don’t smoke and like five minutes later they keep offering them again so I want you guys to meet this guy he is a amateur radio frequency Enthusiast he’s got antennas over there in his backyard yes you will see it if it goes through we will I will show you guys the antennas he’s gonna show us the radio tower I honestly have no idea what to expect this guy is German he was in the restaurant we just started talking apparently he is an amateur radio host he’s he’s got like a whole station he’s got like two antennas he used to live in Vienna but apparently Vienna has restrictions on the amount of power that you’re able to Output so he came to Albania because he’s able to do a lot more radio stuff yep those those antennas that’s definitely him this is a nice place he drives a Ford Ranger yeah it was a lot of work oh my God no so so yeah where did you get this how how did you get this oh it looks like it’s in perfect condition what year is this is this 71 30 this is almost 100 years old [Music] no he says he thinks that these are like common in America you can just like see these oh my God holy that’s a hundred thousand dollars hundred fifty thousand dollars what very interesting is you see the number plate yeah I did nothing for it yeah radio amateur Fritz oh it’s just like a pasture grazing nothing to do with it I don’t need a grass cutter I don’t just bring the cows yep yep [Music] November Delta radio can you do me a favor I have an American guest here and can you speak from New Hampshire some words to him in English [Music] I appreciate this hope we keep we getting in touch but right now I have no time continue with the round and there’s so much old things like like relics this is an old thing this is a radio artists okay he’s gonna broadcast something on this and then we’re gonna pick it up on a 60 year old radio Romeo one two three [Laughter] definitely going to be the coolest video I’ve posted on this trip I can’t imagine you have it because it’s like American as you said the last one okay thank you Austria you know he has an automatic lawnmower [Laughter] phenomenal phenomenal that car hold on to that that is gonna be worth millions okay so that guy is a millionaire he has like six apartments in the town over here he’s got three Apartments here you guys saw his house you guys saw his car he’s a millionaire and he’s just chilling there in the small town bar while I’m eating pizza he’s a tad racist he thinks that Jews caused 911. I think that’s kind of on brand given that he’s German um what an experience we still have a bunch of driving to do today we still have to cross the border it’s already 4 P.M we might not make it to Montenegro today oh pause this campsite that we just passed we passed it so you didn’t see but this campsite he owns that he built this himself like you can see that it looks brand new he built that within the last 18 months since he came here sorry I was just passing it and I remember him saying that he built that that’s him that’s him that’s him I guess it wouldn’t be a proper Vlog without shitty dirt roads follow this way for 0.75 Doug you gotta be me tall grass like this is how you’ll usually get ticks the ticks will crawl up to the edge of a blade and they’ll just sit here waiting for something to brush up against them and they’ll latch onto you and they’ll start sucking your blood so you got to be careful when you’re going through Tallgrass like this I’m not sure how it happened but one of my bungee cables broke I need to stop somewhere and buy more bungee cables because mine are getting kind of destroyed this is my last completely good bungee cable all the rest of them are all torn up I’m not sure where to buy a bungee cables at actually I’m not sure what kind of store would sell them I’m certain they’re not rare though so it shouldn’t be hard foreign I believe this is the Border Crossing into Montenegro I think we can walk through here maybe maybe there’s a person oh perfect thank you thank you ladies and gentlemen welcome to Montenegro I just saw a sign advertising Boost Mobile in Montenegro Boost Mobile damn it I don’t have cell data I thought it might work but it doesn’t maybe it’s because we’re out in the mountains I hope it is uh once we get closer to a big city we’ll see if I still don’t have data foreign so if we just pretend like this place wasn’t filthy with trash that would be gorgeous actually this is a really good time to break out my camera it’s also pretty late so I don’t think that we’ll be able to get a new SIM card today we might need to wait for tomorrow it’s not a problem I’m sure we’ll figure it out I believe this is where we’re heading it’s a town called bar there’s literally just a bowl in the road it’s got big horns I do not want to piss it off good hey check it out there’s a pomegranate tree with fruit hanging over the side of the road that means it’s mine we’re gonna stash this guy for later I don’t want to eat him in the middle of the road it might be ripe it might not who knows okay so I just want to let the developers of this app know that this is not a Cycle Way there’s literally train tracks here I don’t think I can get my bike over this God damn I’m in the middle of a train track I hope I don’t get hit by a train okay what do you guys think we should do should we go to like a coffee shop somewhere someplace that has Wi-Fi and actually look for a booking that way we can like hunt for price we can get something really cheap or we can just walk into the nearest hotel and ask for a room what do you guys want to do well wouldn’t you know there happens to be a hotel right there let’s go find out what their rates are actually I’m not even gonna ask because there’s not a place for me to lock my bike I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna let me inside with the bike and I’m not going to lock my bike out here on the middle of the pathway we’ll find something that can accommodate bikes well coincidentally there’s a place that sells SIM cards right here so that fixes our internet problem hello do you speak English yes do you guys sell SIM cards here for data perfect okay we have Internet good we got 500 gigabytes for 15 bucks 500 gigabytes I can upload every video in 4k all month and never need to worry about data that’s insane let’s go find out where we’re gonna sleep tonight I’m also curious how much that hotel would have cost it is 167 them I’m not gonna lie a lot of the places here pretty expensive 64.96 171. this is like America 328 Montenegro is a lot more expensive than Albania I did find a place for 43 dollars that has a bathtub I do like bathtubs they are probably going to want cash so we need to go to an ATM machine this is the biggest city we’ve been to since nice so we should probably have a shopping day tomorrow just to get all of the supplies we need I really want to see if we can find another bed and another camping chair and possibly a bigger battery pack because editing in my tent kills all of my electricity here we go we got an ATM machine I’m withdrawing 500 euros just so that the five euro uh ATM fee is only one percent I’m withdrawing just as much as I can okay we have money we have internet I think that we’re good for the day we just need to head to the apartment after the guy messaged me and confirms the booking okay while we wait for him to message me we are gonna get some groceries let me bring all the important stuff in with me you’ll notice the difference between how I shop in a village versus how I shop in a city bananas [Music] what number are these 1319 thank you so much you have to stop him on there she helped me use the scale and we’ll get some chicken flavored Ramen oh they have Juicy Fruit yes please thank you okay we have everything we need well we almost have everything there’s a pizzeria right there and I’m still waiting on that guy to message me I don’t want to sit there and get pizza and then have the guy message me being like hey you got to get there right now if you book a hotel they have 24-hour reception you can show up anytime you want when you use booking.com you have to coordinate with the host and make sure that you both get there at the same time so they can unlock the door for you the apartment is about three minutes away by car so maybe five minutes away by bike oh hey I forgot about this guy we’ll open them up later I can I I’m pretty sure it’s riper it’s pretty red just gotta stuff this in here I got more M M’s they’re much better when they’re not melted okay let’s go I do not like riding at night my chances of getting in an accident go up substantially [Music] this is kind of nice though you know for a really big city the traffic here really isn’t that bad this is kind of nice okay we’re here it’s an apartment complex which means we need to deal with my bike getting stolen foreign yeah a whole bunch of people live here my bike is going to be easy picking I guess if I can get inside one of them where you actually need the key to get in it’ll be a little bit safer now we wait he said he’ll be here in 30 minutes update I think I’m actually in the wrong place yeah Google sent me to that one over there it’s actually this one here and I want why this feels like a very sketchy area like it’s got that that vibe that says that I’m not gonna have a bike if I leave my here case no uh it’s a okay my bike has a cool trick just a second let me show you something so this is the first time I’ve ever been able to actually use the folding feature for something useful it fits in the elevator okay so we have a laundry machine which is good because we haven’t done our laundry since I think Kosovo good laundry machine we got a bathtub um they don’t have Wi-Fi but we have 500 gigabytes so we don’t need Wi-Fi we’ve got all the amenities we need I got this for two nights so tomorrow we can do our shopping and we can work on our bike we have a balcony oh my God we have a massive TV we have a balcony out here oh welcome to Bar everybody no and the best part the best part not sure if I showed you guys this or if you guys saw like earlier but we’ve actually got a fairly good spot to keep our bike nobody’s gonna be coming up here on the fourth floor nobody can take it because it’s absolutely massive other people have their bikes there so they’re fine our bike is completely safe this is possibly the best place we’ve stayed at so far okay let’s start unloading all of the things bring a laptop in okay bring my clothes in let’s throw them in the washer I’m also going to wash my current clothes let’s come over here and run the bath okay and then this is all the stuff that I need to charge some of it is already charged but I’m just going to top everything up just to be sure oh and the watch I’m gonna charge the watch too what a day [Music] this feels so nice I will catch you guys tomorrow good morning everybody I have some good news and I have some bad news I’ll start with the good news first we are on the road again and we are resuming our original plans to get to Georgia which means we have about 15 days of riding left to do over 700 miles this is what the route looks like basic hold still bike this is what the route looks like it’s pretty intense honestly um the bad news is that the girl from Tinder didn’t really work out um she hasn’t responded to me in like 36 hours you’re probably sitting there wondering like oh well what did you do what did you say I told her how tall I was um we were sitting there talking we were planning things I just let her know hey so I just want to let you know I’m 1.62 meters tall and she’s like oh yeah I don’t care that’s not a problem and then she comes back 30 seconds later she’s like oh well I guess you’re taller than my dog I thought it was a joke at first but now that she hasn’t responded to me I realized that it might have been a little bit more pointed um we’re not going to sit around and wait for her to possibly message me back so we’re just gonna hit the road uh the first part of this trip is 50 miles and we should be in Albania by the end of the day it is 11 o’clock though so you guys know what that means oh yeah I was able to cut my hair while we were in that apartment so that’s cool okay so yeah we need to ride for about 50 miles a day and we’ll get there by the start of October possibly foreign place that we stopped yesterday mostly because I know that it works we still have like 80 battery left but this will give us much more range let’s just use it while we have it hello can I get the orange juice yes thank you thank you I’m looking at the map right now like the route that we need to take and there’s just massive spikes everywhere just huge inclines and huge declines but looking at this it looks like tomorrow we gotta take a ferry to go up a river so that’s cool let’s go ahead and get some food I think that we’re gonna be doing a lot of camping on this trip because I don’t want to spend time going through hotels and stuff that’ll just make it take much longer we need food that’ll last in our bag uh pretzels with peanuts in them we could do some nuts oh no I want almonds we got some granola bars style stuff I think this will do thank you so much I’m pretty sure that none of the food we just purchased will melt and we do have a couple bottles of Diet Coke in here still go ahead and try one of these protein bars oh this is gonna melt isn’t it yeah yeah this is definitely gonna melt it’s honestly not bad though it looks like the battery is good to go it’s ambitious but I’m gonna see if we can get 70 miles today I’m just gonna walk my bike up these Hills it’s so hot you guys remember how I was so concerned about my brakes I think one of my brakes broke this part definitely still works but I think that the cable got cut somewhere or got broken um okay nevermind it works now uh so I guess that means that this guy probably got stuck in the on position okay so maybe I do need to get some kind of like WD-40 this is sticking and that’s not good we have a tunnel coming up here soon and I’m not looking forward to it [Music] insanely terrifying I am getting a little bit hungry I’m thinking we will stop and find another Turkish restaurant here in this town up ahead I wonder if this place will have a place for me to charge my bike okay do you guys sell llama human they are charging four Euros here so this is almost like Vienna pricing that means two of these are gonna cost almost ten dollars hey they cut it this time I’m like actually shocked I paid nine dollars for this it was fine nothing special thank you very much the owner of that restaurant literally just tried to pocket two Euros from me I gave him a ten he charged me eight and he just didn’t give me my change he’s like oh no I thought I thought it was okay I thought it was okay I swear to God people in this part of the world specifically restaurants are so scammy but this intersection [Music] it literally is taking me in exactly the opposite direction we went in which means we need to go over this stupid train track again foreign oh my tires do not do good on anything wet Jesus Christ again I did not hit my head oh okay quick check to assess the damage my laptop this is all dirty which means this hit the concrete my laptop screen might be shattered yay um GoPro GoPro it’s fine every time my bike falls my little Things fall in there okay uh don’t fall over I swear to God I’m gonna lose my okay after a quick run through I don’t think anything actually broke not even my skin I don’t think I’m even bleeding that’s dope my alignment is a little off um a lot apparent I’m just gonna go slow and listen to anything see if there’s any weird sounds my alignment is still off Everything feels like it still works why jeans are great yay for one lane roads I found another Cafe we need to charge up like twice a day if we want to be able to make the distances that I’m planning on do they have an outlet yes owlette okay cool the oranges and Coke Zero Coca-Cola zero oranges yes thank you three bucks not that bad honestly hey the laptop screen still works after the crash good that’s got an ice cream cone you guys spend a stack just cleaning up my stuff making sure that things don’t get too dirty foreign okay so I’ve been uh sitting here writing from code uh the scripts that I talked about earlier I needed to update them again this is a test this is a test this video we’re just testing the script right now okay spend a stack just cleaning up my stuff making sure that things don’t get too dirty [Music] I just got a message on Instagram apparently there is an eight-month-old woman who has been sitting there binging all of my content for the past while she’s eight months pregnant and her name is Nikki um hi apparently this place’s restroom is out here in the back it’s not as bad as I was expecting honestly he told me the bathroom was out back and I was expecting a hole in the ground it looks like we are running out of daylight so if we want to be able to hit the road and find a place to camp we should probably leave now even though the battery is not fully charged yeah it’s almost six o’clock I want to cross the border before it gets dark one of the reasons I want to get to Albania before the sun goes down is because camping is legal in Albania I don’t know if it is in the monument foreign I just want to make sure that I’m seen let’s have a head see if we were a motorcycle we would have to wait in line with all these other cars but because we’re technically a bicycle we can go through the walking path way yes I typically do this thing where I shout hey welcome to Albania but we’ve already been here so I feel like I’ve already done that yeah look at all of these cars that we get to avoid because we’re a bike it’s for campgrounds around here I kind of want to go see what campgrounds look like okay apparently the campsite is down here it’s called camping Australia and if they want to charge more than five dollars for the night we’re just gonna leave like I’m not paying more than five dollars for a piece of land wild camping is legal in Albania so if they want to charge us too much we’ll just go like next door and camp okay I can smell the fires somebody has a fire lip I have not paid to sleep in a campsite in years actually there’s a whole bunch of sheep where is reception I’m sure we have to pay somebody somewhere it looks like there’s a house up there I bet that’s where we pay it’s completely free it is completely free where would we like to go camping it’s completely free how do they fund this then because somebody mowed the lawn here somebody’s like taking care of it wild this looks like a good enough spot to me it’s completely free holy okay so it’s getting dark our first priority is getting the tent set up I’m not sure how much daylight we have left probably 30-ish minutes get out of here sleeping bag and then tent your turn oh interesting so because of the pressure these guys probably need to take them off before the tent good to know tent come here yeah like if they’re not charging people for this who’s mowing the lawn who’s building all the infrastructure I’m glad we got here when we did because it is getting dangerously close to being uncomfortable to set up camp the darker it gets the less fun it is foreign and of course everything takes three times as long because they’ve got to film it while I do it I can’t just set a tent up I’ve got to film myself setting a tent up actually let me move the bike out of the road just in case anybody else wants to drive out of here or drive in late I don’t have a rock to pound these things in so I’m using my feet I don’t think it’s going to rain tonight we have a seven percent chance of rain I think that we’re good let’s go put this guy to the test for the first time hmm unroll no I swear I claimed this part why is there still sanding here damn it [Applause] [Music] yeah honestly not too shabby yeah not too bad I’m pretty sure my inflatable seat will work as a pillow now let’s come to here and get some food before we clock out I’m pretty sure mosquitoes are out so we’re gonna eat inside the tent okay we’re gonna have a cookies and cream protein bar foreign it’s a little bit melted but not too bad I wish I would have known that it was chocolate before I bought it undo the flaps my God having an inflatable mat is so much nicer than sitting on the hard ground get the fan set up perfect free campsite for the win before we go clocking out there’s a building over here that I want to look at I’m sure that they sell food here and that might be how they pay for all of the stuff it’s just overpriced food then again I could go for some overpriced food yeah it looks like dinner is still going for another two hours oh look at a menu we can get bread for 50 cents that looks good okay so this makes sense if you’re camping with a tent it’s free the Wi-Fi is free but if you’re bringing like a car that’s when you have to pay money okay that makes sense so the car people are subsidizing this I’m feeling we will do pork chops with bread hello hello can I get um one of these and one of these yes fantastic thank you I’m running my little scripts so that they can do the work and I don’t need to no well I understand I promise it is super not free they’re charging seven euros a place I literally came in here I said hey where do I pay at and I said no it’s free don’t worry about it after I get my tent set up then they’re like oh it’s seven euros to mm-hmm no literally I drove in here I walked up to the house I’m like hey you guys know where do you guys speak English they’re like yeah I’m like hey where do we pay at he says oh no it’s free for you it’s free just pay with your heart I’m like oh hey that’s so cool as soon as I get here and I order my food he comes in he’s like actually no it’s seven euros he was joking thank you man [Music] you said you said it was first and he was the owner who didn’t come to me where you want to go yeah tell him it’s free and then charge them later just just tell them it’s free it’s not free don’t tell people it’s free no if you if make your case I was here with the lady and you come show off here you even didn’t ask me just to drive with your boy a goal I said what is this person come in my place I don’t come to tell me hello to talk with me with me for what you want I asked where we go to pay but you have to come good morning or good night or good evening no okay we are we are human when I tell you it’s free okay did you come to me they come and tell me hello man thank you he’s free really I was joking with you because you absolutely like no human if you see the first person inside I told you hello and then you said way campaign is free meaning I joke into you because you’re not acting like a human are you thinking all this investment one millionaire investment is free for you you are the person yes you you own it yes did you say it was free I was laughing with you you said it was free can you take everything and go out come on come on Australian camping everybody fantastic customer service um I think we’re gonna use the light for my bike to try and Illuminating the campsite so we can put everything back this guy God damn God damn that means we need to take the tent down just to put the tent back up and like 10 minutes tragic for any of you guys that are under the misguided impression that I’m like a nice person I promise I’m super not I absolutely could have stayed here if I would have been more nice to the guy and been like oh no it’s fine I totally get why you lied haha funny joke I wasn’t like that now we’re leaving I’m not going to set everything up properly because I know that we’re just gonna be driving like a half mile to get to another spot to camp so I just need to get everything on the bike I just realized I was actually right I will not pay for a campsite that costs more than five euros cool I I have some Integrity with myself at least ah okay take it back putting it get back on I need you gotta turn the whole bike on I guess yeah yeah putting the tent away wasn’t that bad I’m sure putting it back up again won’t be bad either I can already imagine the comments I’m gonna get in this video Americans are so entitled why didn’t you just pay the money it’s only seven euros so I’m pretty sure that I am actually going to edit the conversation I had with him a bunch because it’s just a lot of him I’m gonna edit the conversation a bunch the members of this channel will get the full unedited conversation because you guys need something because you’re giving me money so if you want the full com the full interaction with him members he kept going on about how he’s a millionaire why would he give things away why would he get things away for free because he’s a millionaire I did still pay for the food I’m proud of that like after all of this I still made sure that I stopped and paid for the food okay it’s set up honestly not that bad okay I’m not sure if we want to go try to do night riding and see if we can’t get a couple miles in in the dark or if we want to just go somewhere like a half mile away and camp for the night I don’t know I’m tempted to do something spiteful I’m not sure what but I’m tempted to do something we’re not going to though we’re just going to leave well I was right I did find it oddly suspicious that this place would be free but I would not have thought it was free if the owner didn’t tell me Point Blank explicitly it’s free now you guys get to see why riding at night absolutely sucks are there potholes in the road who knows oh the car is going to see me while we’re driving who knows okay this road is actually in pretty good condition so it’s not that bad but once you get on worse gravel roads or like fast-moving interstates it’s terrifying we’re doing wild camping from now on guys sound good to you see like there’s a sign right here right there showing everybody where this campsite is imagine if that sign were to go missing how hard it would be for him to attract new business the in me is tempting me to go take that sign down I’m not going to but I really want to I did find a hotel that’s open for 34 a night I think that’s a good deal we definitely can’t do an apartment or something like that it needs to be a hotel because it’s late and we need the 24-hour reception okay let’s go foreign [Applause] I’m not 100 sure you have a ride see you soon well Google seems to think so I see other bikes here so that’s reassuring yes um I have a booking yes yes I have a booking perfect so we ended up paying five times more than we would have and actually like infinitely more than we would if it was free um I’m not sure if I should put my bike somewhere if I can just like put it up next to these bikes I think I will just lock it up against this pole pole right here this is turning into one of those days it started off so good too wait a minute no it didn’t today was bad all around okay bike is locked up now let’s go bring everything in I doubt they have good Wi-Fi this does not seem like the kind of place that would invest in good modems I’m also going to bring all my camping stuff in because I know that I didn’t pack it up properly this will give me an opportunity to do it in the room and there is an outlet here so that means we can start the day tomorrow really early with a full battery I suppose that is something on the bright side bed bug check hmm we’ll risk it we don’t have an option I’m gonna go downstairs into the restaurant below and start editing this video I’ll try not to piss off the owners and get kicked out fingers crossed oh catch you guys tomorrow well I mean I’m sure you guys are curious what their prices are because obviously can I get a Coca-Cola Coca-Cola yeah no perfect perfect I’ve got to upload a video I’m a YouTuber oh my God he just gave it to me for free that’s so sweet this guy when he found out I’m a YouTuber he gets all excited he gives me the free Coke the last guy when he found out I was a YouTuber and found out that I had a poor experience he got real mad like like that experience that you just saw that happened after he found out I was a YouTuber when he thought I was just like a regular guest he was like laughing and having a good time and just like talking about how he was joking as soon as he found out that it would have negative repercussions for his business that’s when he got hostile huh I gotta wield that information carefully uh okay their Wi-Fi is better than I thought it would be but I was kind of right it’s not great so cool good morning everybody you gotta check out this View not too bad I need to finish rolling up my camping supplies again and then we can head out you should be able to ride until maybe 11 or 12 o’clock in the afternoon it’s 7 30 right now I’m still in a bad mood not because of yesterday the stuff with the campsite don’t care about I’m upset because of the comments and the videos so you guys saw yesterday’s video right have you seen the comments in yesterday’s video it’s uh it’s a good time go check out the comments let’s talk about that for a second about half of the comments are you that I was in the wrong that if I would have been more sociable if I would have said hi then I would have understood the owner was obviously joking because why would he give away a camping spot for free that is a perfectly reasonable position to take if this was the first time that happened but this actually isn’t do you remember two days ago when I was at the restaurant and I told them that I didn’t want the water because I didn’t want to pay for it and they Point Blank clearly told me it’s free it’s free don’t worry and then after I consume the water then they charge me for it if this was like a one-off thing then sure I will give the benefit of the doubt to the store owner but this has been happening to me all over the place there’s the store that charged me 23 Euros for spaghetti and rice there’s the store that gave me the wrong receipt trying to up charge me for a cappuccino there was a store that gave me a free water and then charged me afterward there is the store that tried to take two of my Euros if all of these things were isolated incidents I would give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was a mistake maybe it was tipping culture the fact that this is happening so often here suggests that companies in the Balkans are very deceitful no and then everybody’s in the comments saying that the guy that tried to take the two extra Euros because it was a tip everybody’s saying like oh yeah tipping culture that’s the thing you just give them a 10 they’ll take whatever I’ve never I’ve never once had somebody assume that because I gave them a larger bill I was just giving them the rest of the money literally zero times and I promise I have traveled more than you have I promise tipping is just an American thing that it’s something that Americans almost exclusively do if not a thing here the price you see on the menu is the price you pay okay I got that out of my system I’m good I don’t give a anymore I probably won’t bring it up again unless another company tries to scam me still over here resetting up my camping equipment though okay I think that we are set to go oh hi pop so you guys know how I’ve been giving dogs the dog vitamins well that guy has uh stopped paying me so I’m not sure if I should even show his product on my channel anymore he’s like a couple payments behind actually nope just a sec see roads like this would sucked right on at night [Applause] all right hey I found a little market oh I just realized I left all of my coins on the table in the hotel there’s probably maybe eight dollars worth of coins okay foods that we can eat for breakfast that’s Diet Coke obviously hey 80 cents they’re not ripping me off good you know option I’m feeling adventurous they don’t seem to have any breakfast foods okay I found waffles that’s breakfasty no oh yes yes thank you super convenient I forgot that I don’t have any Albanian Lakes so if you let me pay in euros and this is gonna blow your mind but I actually did say please and thank you I just wasn’t recording it because I was having a conversation like I’m sure this is going to blow your minds but I do say things when the camera isn’t rolling that that does occur okay Cafe Mio Albanian cappuccino oh it’s very very good very good okay let’s check out the waffles I’m worried they’re gonna be too sweet so this is basically sugar then again that’s kind of what you get when you buy waffles from the supermarket like that oh they’re individually wrapped okay so I don’t need the whole package let’s try one waffle I’ll give you guys a look I think I’m getting another one this is a great breakfast food yeah actually that’s what we’re gonna do we’re gonna go get another one uh they’re really good of course yeah they’re fantastic no no I’m fine I’m fine thank you though thank you plus side of Albania I guess plastic bags are free what a great way to start the day waffles and iced coffee fantastic that cloud right there is the real MVP one thing that I do think is interesting here is how much more variety people have when they use their car horse like in America when somebody honks at you they’re pissed the horn basically is a one-to-one translation of you whereas here they use it to like say hi to their friends they’ll use it to let you know that they’re passing the horn has a lot more uses than it does in America if somebody honks at you it usually doesn’t mean they’re mad at you they’re just like saying hi or letting you know that they’re there I do hate driving on roads like this I honestly don’t understand the reason why cities would pave their roads in rocks like this I feel like this is much harder to repair than asphalt like asphalt you just tear out put new things down but here you’ve got to make sure that all of the stones match the existing stones and you can’t just tear it out like you would asphalt I don’t know why cities do this Cobblestone and I’m almost certain it’s more expensive than just using asphalt because you need to manually make sure all of these things line up Asphalt you can just pour and roll over it asphalt is almost certainly a more economical solution no my favorite cloud is floating away there’s a whole bunch of mountain goats I bet they’re looking salt [Music] stop squeaking I’m trying to film a video okay I guess my front brakes are better at not squeaking God damn into the hills in the mountains so my battery is going to struggle okay we’re actually going to turn off the road just so we can get a better view of the lake I’m not sure if it’s a lake or a river or what good morning everybody goddamn so I’m pretty sure that up ahead we need to hop on a ferry because there’s a river that goes somewhere I don’t know when the ferries leave I gotta coordinate my times so I’m getting a lot of messages from people saying they’re going on Google reviews and they’re giving that guy bad reviews telling everybody there’s a scam don’t do that don’t go like up this guy’s business just because I had a poor experience with him like it’s weird that I need to ask this but don’t do that if I have a poor experience with somebody I will handle it with them I might get scammed I might not but you guys going up there being keyboard Warriors trying to like defend me or trying to like take down businesses that you see in my videos it makes me seem like I’m being vindictive I’ve already used like three-fourths of the bottle it’s almost gone so yeah like don’t review bomb him you guys think that you’re defending me or whatever but all you’re doing is making me look like an YouTuber who uses my audience to get back at people who are mean to me it really doesn’t help looks like today we get wild pigs we’re gonna stop for a second my pedals aren’t working which means something got caught in the chain bike are you getting caught on again oh rip yes it’s super tangled up in there okay this is gonna be fun I can’t go backward I can’t go forward oh okay I got it out God damn this backpack is not gonna last another month okay back on the road good and all of the gear still works that’s good you got it Google the roads are getting real bad somehow out here in the middle of the mountains there’s a cafe wild coffee yes a cappuccino yes yes thank you so much and we’ve got an outlet cool yes thank you so much thank you so much [Music] it tastes like black coffee the water see actually I’m gonna get one of these Cokes uh Coca-Cola yes thank you sir wait before I open this let me make sure that they take Euros I have 300 Albania money and I want to make sure that I can like in case they don’t take Euros thank you she does take Euros yes okay we can drink the coke oh she even give me change in yours that’s cool you guys might notice I said thank you it’s crazy right it’s literally a running joke on this channel how I will talk to servers and be like oh my God thank you so much you’re fantastic like people joke about how polite I am to servers I’m booking the tickets for the fairies now oh no it looks like it’s fully booked for the day I recognize that this means we probably won’t be able to go on the ferry today but we’re still gonna go there and talk to them in person to see if maybe somebody canceled or before they leave if they have extra space it looks like they’re trying to charge 21 Euros to go with this oh wait never mind it’s not that they sold out it’s that the ferry already left they leave at nine o’clock in the morning it is clearly past nine okay this is gonna sound weird but I feel like I’m tripping like I’ve taken LSD I’ve taken shrooms like I know what it’s like and like this the peripherals they’re like flashing colors so weird ah like you guys know that thing where when you’re tripping everything on the outside looks like it’s moving a little bit and then you look at it and it stands still and then everything else around it is moving and just like what is going on I can’t even look at my screens because I can’t see straight I’m gonna go wash my face oh there’s not a sink oh here we are oh this means I need to reapply sunscreen well if we’re not going to be able to get on the ferry we don’t need to wait for the battery to charge we definitely have enough juice to get to the port God I do not know what she put in that coffee but I’m still struggling to see straight I didn’t even drink that much of it I only had a couple of sips and then I put it down because it tasted like black coffee I really didn’t drink that much if the road here wasn’t so mangled I would show you guys the lake that we’re driving by but I need to constantly be watching the road even having one hand on the GoPro like this is kind of dicey it is pretty though [Music] God these roads are so bad I found more mountain goats they have bells so they’re not wild goats God imagine going over this road to dark it’s weirdly intermittent like there’s a stretch of good road right here and then it goes to bad Road and then good road and then bad Road like why don’t they just make the whole thing a good road or the whole thing a bad road I don’t understand we get to ride on this tomorrow a little boat little boat go get the road it’s definitely not great but I’m glad there is something I’m glad that we do get to ride by the river like this is this is cool even if the road conditions aren’t the best like look at this we got super terrible Road followed by good road and it just keeps changing intermittently like that like every like half mile you get good road then half mile get bad Road why is my brake squeaking I’m not even holding the brake let’s go take a look at it okay okay yeah so how hot is it not that hot good okay so I’m gonna loosen this up a little bit or move it this way these constantly squeaking brakes are gonna drive me insane you know what water stops here seems like a good enough time to get food let’s go with a waffle and one of those protein bars oh I forgot I have almonds and pretzels yes please what these pretzels are is they are a pretzel on the outside but on the inside they’re Hollow and they’ve got uh peanuts it tastes like peanut butter it’s like a like a peanut butter pretzel so a lot of the criticism that I’m seeing from yesterday’s video revolves our own cultural differences that uh I’m not being polite Enough by not talking to them not saying hi I just walk it B I’ll just walk into an establishment get my food and drink and then leave and that that’s impolite and here in Albania that is uh improper based on the culture that’s here let’s assume that that’s true I have been to a lot of different countries you guys have seen that I’ve been to Ukraine and Poland and Hungary and turkey and Georgia and Armenia Thailand Costa Rica I’ve been to a lot of different places and I have never had one of those countries any of them at all give me a different price than the price that they tell me in person every single one of them the price that is listed is the price that you pay except America actually America is kind of skivvy like this because uh they’ll tell you that it’s ten dollars and you’ve still got to pay tax and you gotta pay gratuity so most of the countries in the world they are actually more transparent about their prices than America see I’ve even been to other Baltic countries that would probably have similar Customs like Serbia and Kosovo I did not have any problems there either all of the prices were exactly the price they told me we’ve been in Albania for five days and we have had five different instances where they try to scam me out of money we’ve had twice where people tell me something is free and then come back after I’ve consumed it and then try to charge me for it once where somebody gives me the wrong receipt once where somebody sends their kid out to give me the bill without actually giving me a receipt and just telling me that it’s 23 Euros when it’s super shouldn’t be and once where a server tries to take my entire bill without giving me my change so it’s possible maybe this place just had such a wildly different culture from every country on the planet or Albania has a reputation for being deceptive because albanians are deceptive so it is possible I could be experiencing all of these problems because I’m uncultured and Albania is just so much different than America and Albania is different than Serbia and Kosovo and Thailand and Ukraine and turkey and Georgia and Armenia maybe maybe that’s true or maybe there’s a reason that Albania has a reputation for being deceptive like Occam’s razor says that being scammed five times in five days is probably representative of the culture not The Traveler I have not decided if we are going to camp for tonight or if we’re going to spend the night in the local hotel it’s a really small village so I kind of want to support the economy but I also don’t want to pay more than I need to we’ll have to see when we get there [Music] I think that’s the town we’re going to okay this is definitely the right town you see the guys there hello do you know where I go to purchase Ferry tickets for the ferry thank you so much this place is so small I literally have no idea where I’m supposed to go when Google maps called this place a village I see it now maybe this is the spot I’m supposed to go I see signs for boats I’m looking to get the two I think Fiera tomorrow yes um where do we purchase those at now I’m being told to go back down the hill you know I could really go for a big sign that says buy tickets here oh hey look there’s a sign for puke and Kooks we’ve been to both of those already that’s cool look at us over here traveling the country okay if I had to guess I would say that this is where we’re going it does not look open though no it is not open yeah this definitely looks like the kind of thing that would have boat tour fairy type oh yeah pretty sure this is where we buy our tickets yeah I don’t know whether or not I want to camp out here or just go to the hotel right there let me see what the prices are I could look online but I’m feeling frisky Let’s go ask them in person hello do you guys have any rooms available okay thank you perfect thank you so much that place is fully booked he says there’s more around here somewhere um is this a hotel yes are you guys fully booked do you have a room one percent one person 20 euros yeah perfect oh it’s over there I’ll bring it later perfect thank you actually fantastic thank you so much let’s load everything up into the room I’m not gonna lie this is way nicer than I was expecting I saw a village and I was expecting I would be sleeping in a barn 20 euros a night this place is 20 euros that’s not bad oh my god do you guys remember how I left my change at the hotel this morning I left my other phone there too I have two phones one phone for navigation one phone for like cell data I left my phone at the hotel this morning technically we could go back but it’s a long way to go back yeah we left there at 7 30 and it says that it still sees my phone there at 9 47. [Music] God damn it there was nothing super important on that phone it was a pretty expensive phone it was a pixel six but the thing that that had was an esim so I could go to a country and I could just download a SIM card my current phone doesn’t do that it only has physical Sims so I lost the ability to download SIM cards um yeah it would take four hours to drive there and then four hours to drive back you remember how I said I’m definitely losing money on this trip this is what I mean for what it’s worth I’m relatively confident that I can’t accidentally leave my main phone behind where’d it go I’m relatively confident I can’t leave my main phone behind because it’s Bluetooth connected to my watch my watch would freak out if I left my phone so at least this one is relatively safe but that other phone is my emergency phone if this one breaks because like I drop it and it gets cracked I did have a second phone that I could use now I don’t have an emergency phone if I ride back to the hotel that’ll take about four hours which means it’ll take eight hours round trip I probably won’t be able to complete that tonight which means I would get back here tomorrow after the ferry leaves again so if I go back for the phone I won’t be able to get on the boat I had that phone since Barcelona do you guys remember uh when I got my stuff stolen in Lebanon and one of my friends flew over to Barcelona with like a bag full of Tech equipment that was one of the things he brought for me and I just left it behind in a hotel there’s a mini market right here they have sandwich meat it looks like and cheese yes we got Diet Coke and they’ve got orange juice and iced coffee oh yes bread bread bread they don’t have bread for sale but she went into the back so she might be getting bread I’m not sure yes perfect thank you so much bread yes okay we got a food and I want to point out I said Thank you to her before we were leaving but I wasn’t recording because that happens I say things when I’m not recording it’s wild it’s like I can have conversations without a camera rolling I think we are going to stop and eat on the wooden table this is the bread she gave me I think that she just went into her house and she got me a slice of her own personal bread like that’s what this looks like just based on the interaction we had I think this is her personal bread stash we will treasure it well I mean she sold it to me so I hope she sold it to me at a profit apparently there’s a restaurant here oh I can’t read any of it I think somebody just got kicked out yeah whatever I wonder if the owner is down there getting a weapon or some sort okay they are driving away he did not get a weapon uh my friend from back in America wants to video call me so I’m trying to get somewhere that’s like quieter and I won’t disturb people let’s walk down by the river this looks like a good enough place to take a call I can hear you say hi to YouTube hello yeah this is my friend Anna we went to high school together um yeah that’s her I think I’m just going to turn in for the night I’m in a bad mood well I mean plus side I guess I have one last thing I need to keep charged okay so thinking proactively that means next time we get to a big city I should stop in a phone store and buy some cheap Samsung a53 just some kind of backup device in case my main phone gets smashed I don’t really have a backup for this laptop if this laptop gets smashed that’s kind of game over I technically could edit on my phone I have edited on my phone before but it’s still not ideal we’re gonna find a nice spot by the river to edit there’s little stools to sit on but I need a place to stick the laptop hopefully I’ll catch you guys tomorrow on a boat somewhere over there so just as a interesting point of note for all the people that were in the last video saying that I don’t have enough manners and I need to say please and thank you more I just counted the number of times that I said Thank you to the people in this video 14 times that I recorded 14 times like I promise I am polite to people good morning everybody the vote leaves in two hours and we don’t have a ticket for the boat yet we need to get a ticket before they sell out but on the plus side if they did sell out then that means that we can probably go back and get my phone oh good morning I think the owner of the hotel said that he sells tickets we will find out good morning good morning um I am looking to purchase a ticket for the ferry okay we got our ticket it only costs 10 euros while I was purchasing the ticket the guy he was trying to figure out how much it costs and he’s like uh motorbike because he watched me drive this in he watched me not use my pedals he watched me just use the motor he’s like motorbike I’m like um technically yes but also no it’s just a bicycle just bicycle and I did the little expression with pedaling my feet and he’s like no motor I’m like well um no no motor this bike really blurs the line between bicycle and motorbike the spider already came through here and started making webs on all my stuff go away guess what we have we have waffles in other good news I might be able to get my phone back regardless because somebody from my audience one of my viewers he happens to live right next door to the hotel so he sent me a message on Instagram he’s offering to go pick it up and ship it to me I’ll coordinate with him how that is actually going to work but I might be able to get my phone back okay so the ferry leaves in less than two hours we’re just gonna find it the thing is I don’t see where the boat would dock none of these places look like infrastructure for cars to ride onto a ferry currently watching YouTube videos to see if I can figure out where the ferry Parks or where the ferry docks at Freddy’s to death okay I think I have a better idea of what I’m looking for I’m gonna go out on the bridge and look for it good morning God damn okay we need to go up there a little bit let’s take a look at the view it’s gonna be hard to see because the sun is basically pointing right at us stay up there’s a whole power plant down there huh okay yeah I can’t see anything with the Sun we’re in the middle of a tunnel I don’t know how there’s so much wind down here I think we found our boats yes natural uh you want me to take it up the stairs okay this is where our bike is going to be oh my God we’re on a boat we are on a boat apparently this takes like four hours to go up the river we leave in like an hour and a half there’s a little fast food stall up here yes can I get a hamburger yes thank you so much okay thank you we’re getting a hamburger for breakfast good day okay now we wait a lot of people are showing up and they’re like there’s like a backlog of cars trying to get through that tunnel I’m glad we got here early yeah they work in fast food but this is a cool place to work I would I would be cool working here thank you so much it’s surprisingly long for a hamburger foreign there’s a bee inside my Coke and so now it’s just never getting out it’s a wasp stuff it so that this thing never gets out okay now the B situation is handled let’s find out why our hamburger is really long no it’s a hamburger they just use like a hot dog bun s hamburger might be another beef God damn it stupid wasps so many people here holy okay [Music] I want that it’s banana how much still done hey Karina two for one banana no no no no no no one one for one banana no I’m good I’m good yes banana this is gas station banana prices like supporting the local economy this place is cool I’m not sure if you guys can see this and I’m not sure if this is coming across on camera but it looks like there’s a path in the water like like the rest of it’s turbulent but there’s like this little squiggly line through it that’s not this place is seriously packed to the brim it is crazy that I thought this would be a chill ride where there’s like a few people no I’m not gonna lie I was leaning over the edge scrolling through Tick Tock with my phone and I stopped for a second I realized but wait I’m over water now if I drop my phone rip the engine started it’s basically standing room only now I low-key wish I had one of those little floaty things that you attached to your camera so that if I did drop it I could jump in the water and get it if I drop this GoPro it’s gone God oh God it smells like diesel this is hands down the coolest part of the trip so far [Music] oh my God [Music] oh my God we need to buy a boat I told you this channel does well we will buy a boat and we will live on it and we will do this all the time [Music] it looks like we are almost there we should probably be there in like 20-ish minutes given our bike is at the very back of the boat we’ll probably have to wait until everybody else leaves before we can yeah we can’t leave until all of these cars are off the bus and based on the way that the cars are arranged I think we’re going to be here for a minute okay there we go let’s get off this boat okay let’s get all this stuff loaded back up first and foremost we’re getting this goddamn jacket off it’s so hot outside okay then let’s get the lap or the backpack strap back to the bike I’m not gonna lie the sun is mean right now I’m tempted to sit in there and wait it out regretfully that would not be very time efficient we have a lot of ground to cover so as mean as the sun is we are still gonna hit the road hopefully the road’s going forward are not as bad as the roads we were just on yesterday those are really bad why does everything look worse when the sun is directly overhead like if this was nine o’clock in the morning I’m sure this would look gorgeous but here it just looks hostile you know losing my phone back there makes me wonder which Tech items would I actually go back for this GoPro that I’m holding in my hand I would have to go back for it I would probably go back for my phone I think the only reason I didn’t go back for my other phone is because it was a spare it was like an emergency phone we are entering border control now for Kosovo okay that’s weird um there’s nobody stamping passports there’s nobody in the buildings cars are just driving by I do not understand oh that was the old Border Crossing apparently there’s a new one up ahead okay that makes sense so yes okay this is the real border crossing it’s a bicycle bicycle do I go forward here yeah yes what can I do for you oh yeah of course of course all right back forward they don’t know what to do with my passport we’ve been here for over 10 minutes just waiting for them to figure out what they want to do with my passport I only have problems in Kosovo yes yeah you are free thank you God damn why does the Kosovo border control not seem to understand what a bicycle is I had the same problem last time I tried to come in I found more cows so many more cows holy foreign oh update I do have cell data not from Albania my Albania SIM card does not work here but my SIM card from Montenegro does work apparently Montenegro you get 500 gigabytes and it works everywhere great the town that we’re in right now we might need to stay here for a couple of days so that guy can ship my phone to me he needs to know where I’m going to be so we can put an address on the shipping label let’s go ahead and get some food is there an outlet like a laptop to plug my laptop like this okay perfect um can I get bread and meat oh thank you so much I actually have no idea no idea and I have no idea what these sauces are I did find a hostel here for like 12 a night we can book that for a couple of nights the entire meal with all of the meat and the two cokes four less than less than five dollars holy the waiter of this place you recognized me from Tick Tock you’re gonna be in the next video my name is Dr I’m 16 years old and I just just wanted to say hi I enjoy your content thank you four Euros holy huh you gave me a free copy I didn’t want to tell them that I don’t drink this but it’s sweet that he gave it to me okay let’s go check into this hostel I’m not sure how long it’ll take a package to get delivered here going from Albania into Kosovo so I’m not sure how long we actually need to stay here I believe this is us just a second Wi-Fi thank you so this place was like 12 a night and it looks like I have the place to myself but this is definitely like a real person’s house where I feel weird walking in and out because they have like a living room downstairs this is what Airbnb was originally designed to be a place with like your house where you live and you just like rent out one of your rooms it wasn’t supposed to be or it wasn’t originally conceived to be commercialized thank you so much thank you so I just got off the phone with the hotel and the hotel says they never found my phone that the maids went up in there and the maids never found anything so find my advice definitely says it was there yesterday at 9 30 in the morning um so I guess that means I don’t get my phone and staying here in the hostel doesn’t do any good because it won’t be being shipped to me check this out this is the door handle while we’re here in town I think we’re going to take the opportunity and we’re going to go to the hardware store and we’re going to actually fasten myself a backpack carrier I’ve got holes that I can screw things into I want to get a plate that I just put the backpack down on so there’s not sliding back here and getting caught in my wheel and my chains I think that’s what we’re going to do tomorrow if we don’t do that soon my backpack is going to get torn up and my stuff will fly all over the road I do have Coca-Cola zero oh this is wild that flips chocolate pretzels that’s cool I love how there’s markets close to all of the living places basically in all the European cities you’re within a couple blocks of a supermarket hello bird oh hello other bird looking at my bag here I also want to see if I can get some like piece of aluminum and just like lay it on top of this you can see that it’s getting holes in it if I can get a piece of metal that’ll just slap on top of this and I can I don’t know sew it in probably preserve this you know what this I’m sitting here talking about things I want to do I’ve got an open space I can just do this right now I want to get a brush so I can clean all of the gunk off of this I want to go clean the brake rotors yeah let’s go see if we can find a store that sells some Hardware Google says Google says there is a hardware store about two minutes away I need to remember that I want thread Locker a large allen wrench aluminum sheeting um bungee cables okay this is like their business district hopefully we can find some aluminum sheeting here I don’t think they have a store quite like Home Depot so we’re just gonna go into local shops and see oh this will probably do okay we found thread Locker now when you look for the Allen wrenches I cannot I can feel it I can tell you how big it is by feeling um that’s probably right okay we found the thread Locker on the bolts they say they don’t have any like flat piece of metal but I’m gonna look to see if we can find something that might suit that need possibly um maybe something like this I would screw this on the edge of my bike and this would hold the bag up the little kid is the only one that speaks like good English here so he’s helping me find all the things that I need I like describe my problem when he goes to the shop and finds all of my stuff for me oh bungee cables bungee cables bungee cables jumper cables I need bungee cables like rubber band I’m gonna bring one of mine in there so then like I don’t know how to say bungee Cable in Serbian or Albanian we have almost got everything we’re just hunting for the bolts that will fit through these screw holes and through my bike we think we found a bolt that works we’re just gonna go test it on the bike it might fit uh just like I can’t do this with that GoPro okay it fits so we just need a bunch of these and the bolts that go along with them perfect yep so just a handful of those too okay I think we’ve got everything we need we got the wrenches we got the thread Locker we got the bungee cables okay this should be everything that we need we’ve got cables we got brackets we got the thread Locker bolts nuts uh washers and the Allen wrenches I think we’re good I don’t know how they’re going to try to like figure out how much this costs if there’s gonna like I have no idea how that’s gonna work that entire thing was 21 or 21 euros crazy I love this country now let’s take our bolts and okay so what I think that I want to do is I think I want to try to straighten this out and I want to still hold the backpack right here I think that’s still what I want to do okay so I think that this will go right here like that so I’m realizing I don’t think I have a tool to actually twist these bolts I don’t think I can get these tight enough with my finger oh you gotta ratchet that’s fantastic thank you uh um do you want to help me yes okay okay so we need to get this uh yes you hold him on the background yeah it takes like two seconds to turn on and then yep you’re perfect you’re recording so right now we need to we we screwed the bolts in but we forgot to apply the thread Locker so we’ve got to take the bolts out put the thread Locker on and then put the bolts back in we should actually probably put this on all of the bolts on all of the bike actually why is it coming out while they work on the other side we’re going to come over here we’re going to stick the thread Locker on the um kickstand so this won’t come loose again can you hand me the glue the thread Locker so basically right now he’s tying the screws on them okay we’ve got a place to store the backpack we’ve got the kickstand fix I think that this is set say hi all of these people are going to be in the video Walmart say hi all right bye bye bye thank you guys [Music] they were so helpful holy okay let’s test it see how she does uh we’ll worry about repairing the backpack later let’s see if this actually fits okay so this will just hold the the weight of the bag right here as those brackets God damn it I think that works really well this is sturdy this is not going anywhere and it doesn’t touch any of the chains or smokes so nothing is going to get damaged I think this is perfect I definitely understand why they think it’s a motorcycle I need to start adding things to this side to balance out the weight so I’m remembering right now that there is one more thing that I wanted to fix when I have my laptop here the laptop of the metal hits it’s like resting up against this bar right here and anytime I get in a crash or go on like a really hard bump it slams against this metal and it dents my laptop you guys have seen the dents I think I want to get something that will I’m not sure what but something that will make it to where I can carry my laptop without having metal on metal contact I think that is going to be the end of it for the Vlog it’s getting late and the GoPros are really bad at night so I’m gonna stop filming but I will catch you guys tomorrow and we will do more work on the bike then I’m gonna get a brush I’m going to clean everything inspect it make sure nothing is broken fix all of the dented stuff yeah I do want to show you guys something check this out I noticed that the treads on my back tire are actually starting to get kind of kind of low at least compared to the front tire I might possibly want to swap tires or swap the outer tire so that the fresher front tire is in the back Future Ain’t problems I just realized I also need to get sandpaper when we go back tomorrow because these Corners are really sharp and it would really suck to like hit your shin against something like this while you’re walking by it so we’re going to sand these down to where they’re not as sharp and they’ll cut stuff if something yeah sandpaper gotta remember sandpaper tomorrow

You have to learn to talk with people i was looking at this again but you have to be polite dude, this is not America where you can go in and say what you want, you need to say "good morning" or "hello", need to learn how the world is outside america..

Dick move about the campsite. Thats on you dude. A bit of decorum when you are outside the u.s. is needed.
what are the circle thing on the dogs ears?
So google says 7 euros is $8.17 in use currency currently. Refuses to pay $8.17 but is willing to pay over $30 for a hotel or whatever. Where on earth does that make any sense 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Also you hate cheese yet you ordered a cheese pizza( another thing that makes no sense). 😂
Nano, so much wind in the tunnel was caused by air EDDIES! Great channel!
I was following a bike packer who was riding through Albania but he would just knock on people's doors and ask if they had a room and what he found were the kindest, most generous people ever. If I private citizen couldn't take him in, he would go to a restaurant and he found out that the restaurants always had a room somebody could stay in for the night. Im presuming because the restaurants generally served strong spirits and somebody who over imbibed could sleep it off in their back room.
