 It looks really just like someone's house, doesn't it? Oh, that is quite a big rock. Oh my God. Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. We are attempting a new world record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Click the subscribe button to follow our adventure around the world. Beep beep beep. See you later. Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 16. Yes. So yesterday was a complete disaster. It's raining. We're just going to wait here a minute and see if it stops. Put our rain jackets on. It was raining for the whole day pretty much. I will show you where we went, but we really didn't think that it was worth making an episode about it. It was just getting from one place to another in the rain. Really, nothing worth actually recording. Yes, yes. And we had to make sure that our equipment is safe packed away because we had some issues before like that the mics weren't working and we just don't want that our equipment breaks. But we did stay last night in a beautiful Airbnb here in the town of Sulinjak. I think the owner told us that it's about a 500 year old place and it's just on this beautiful little street where at the end of the street is actually an abbey where monks are still living. So this is like a beautiful medieval French streets and it was a very, very comfortable room. I think every house in this area is probably between 500 and 1000 years old. Beautiful, peaceful and historic. But let me show you where we're going to be heading today. So yesterday after staying at my friend's place for a few days, we made our way 147 miles all the way down, continuing down through the center of France, coming into the south now. We just went past Poitiers and we went through Le Morge and this is where we stayed last night. And today we actually don't know how far we're gonna get but we are starting by visiting this place right here called Got Delasco. But I'll tell you more about what Got Delasco is when we hit the road. So let's go. Back camera rolling. The world is full of hills, isn't it? Yes. Good morning. Good morning. I'm ready to go. Okay, awesome. Chauffeur. Got Delasco. S'il te plaît? Oui, on y va. So let me tell you a bit more about where we're going today. So the Lascaux Caves or Got Delasco in French are a series of prehistoric caves with more than 600 wall paintings from something like 17,000 years ago. So very, very old cave paintings. This is basically the most famous cave paintings in Europe. There's so many of them and the level of detail. It looks super impressive. Now I'm not sure if you're actually allowed to visit the original caves anymore. We'll have to find out more when we get there. But I know that they've done some reproductions of the inside of some of the caves. So we're just gonna head over to there and we're gonna go check it out and see what we can see. So we've got 37 miles to reach the Lascaux Caves. So let's do it. Let's do it. We've seen the sun again. My life makes sense again. Oh my God. There's such a difference. It's been so gray the whole of yesterday. So gray this morning. It's nice to see the first, first glimpse of sunshine coming back. Yeah, motorcycle touring in the rain. It's not that fun. No, it's not that fun. This is a very sunshine type of thing, isn't it? You know you're outside. This is the type of thing. You need the sunshine to make it really beautiful. So please give us more. I have an important announcement to make as well and that is that we have reached 1000 miles. Yes. So just 29 times more than we just did. I would say quite easy, hey? Yep, 29 times more and we're around the world. Yes. There we go. But finally the landscape is starting to change from just the flat farm countryside. We've got a lot more hills coming up. We've got a lot more trees. It's starting to be a little bit more wild. Maybe we'll even have a chance to do a wild camp before we leave France. But yeah, it's difficult because you have to make sure that you're not camping on private land or on government land. Public land. Public land, yes. It's a little bit difficult in a lot of countries in Europe with wild camping. There's not a huge amount of wild land, wilderness space where you can just go and pitch up a tent. You know, it's whether you're in a park or private land or a farm. So so far we haven't managed to sort of find something you know, easy to wild camp. Yeah. But I'm sure there's going to be many opportunities to come. Yes. Yeah. So we've entered the area of Lascaux and first we're going to go to this place which is called Lascaux de, Lascaux 2 which I think has a massive replica of one of the largest most impressive caves in the Lascaux caves. So I think although you can't visit the original caves I think that you can visit this big replica of the cave. But we're going to go up to Lascaux 2 and find out a little bit more parking. Probably just park here then. Cool. So we chained up our little bumblebee and fingers crossed everything will be fine. It's the first time that we leave bumblebee on the side of the road without us taking care of it. Okay. So we found out a little bit more about this place. This is Lascaux 2. It was built in 1983 because the original cave has actually been closed since the 1960s. It was only open for around 20 years and then because it had so many visitors it got really degraded. You could hardly see the original paintings anymore. So they closed it completely and restored it back to its former glory so that it could continue to be studied and then they built this place so that people could experience what it's like inside the cave. So they've built a big replica of the main room. So we'll see this place. And then there is actually another place down in the valley where they've done a bigger museum with a lot more info and everything like that. So we'll check out this place first and then we'll head down into the valley and check out that place. So the tour just starts in a minute but they told us it's just in French so let's see how much we understand. Back to the light. Yeah. Goodbye Lascaux 2. On the road again. So we have finished our tour of Lascaux 2. It was like a one hour guided tour. Totally in French. We kind of were just trying to just look at the prehistoric wall art and try to sort of imagine what she was explaining about it. But it's really cool. Inside there they actually made an underground replica of a part of the original cave which is called like the Sistine Chapel of the prehistoric world. So it's really like an impressive big open cave and they've basically recreated the entire thing as the cave looks like for real. Everything made out of the original materials like the ochre and the earth that they used to paint all the walls. So when you're inside there I thought that it was really, really realistic and really felt like you were inside what would be the original cave. This by the way is the more modern Lascaux museum or Lascaux 4. I think this one was built around 5, 6, 7 years ago. In the end we're not going to go to that museum because it's a separate tour. It's a one and a half hour tour. Again, I think it's not in English. It's in French. On the more modern Lascaux museum they've actually recreated most of the cave. So a lot more than the one we went to but it's just sort of in a museum setting. They sort of have panels of the cave above. So I think the two experiences would be very different. You can imagine that like 17,000 years ago they would have been like that's how they would have seen it. That's the only way they would have seen it with like a fire torch in the hand as they were painting it and as they were showing their friends oh look at this bison I drew. That would have been the way that they experienced it the changing of the light. So I thought that was really cool that she started it like that. We went into the dark and then she lit this torch and it was like the cavern. So now we have actually rooted ourself to what will be if it works out our first wild camp in France. We looked on iOverlander and we picked a spot which says in the description that it's sort of a downer dirt track and it's like in a forest and there's a few people that say that they've kind of camped there without any problems and that it's fine to camp there so it's about 70 or 80 miles from here so we're going to check out this wild camp space so we're going to see how it looks and if it all goes well we'll have a nice peaceful forest camp for tonight. Tourists, block the road. Look how sunny it is right now. Oh my god. It's like a different world to what we had this morning and definitely to what we had yesterday. From the cold rain to sunburn in the same day the summer is back baby. Alright, the wild camp place that we found on iOverlander should be just coming up on the ride somewhere Peshon this way it says but that's also very much looks like a house. I mean we can go down it and see because it says Peshon this way as well okay so let's see it looks really just like someone's house doesn't it? I think not the right place okay let's go on to the other road shall we? try that out doesn't look like it's going to be the right way it's definitely just it's definitely just a house yep okay so we just met these two here in front and they have said they have said to us that indeed you can camp down here and they've told us the little road to go down and then they said they're going to meet us down there to show us the place down, round and then in here haha it's a little bit off road for us isn't it? but I'm just about managing and as long as there's no giant rocks like the last time then I think we'll be okay so yeah the owners just told us that they're walking their dogs and they're going to come down to where we're going to go now oh that is quite a big rock oh my god nice and slow it's just about alright oh I can see some sort of tower here yes ahh okay here we go we found paradise so we ended up actually going to the place that we had found on Iovlanda and the owner was out walking his dogs his name is Ward and he's from Belgium and he just said yeah yeah come down the road come to the bottom and you know come stay at my place no problem you can have a room for tonight if you want don't worry about your tent you can just stay as long as you want if you want to and so he offered us the room the building as well exactly a tour round we will show you a tour round tomorrow actually not tonight anymore because it gets dark and we really have to go to bed soon the building is like 500 years old and he has 7 hectares of land here and it's absolutely unbelievable there's like a medieval tower behind it's a pretty incredible place it's absolutely amazing here beautiful today's episode we hope you enjoyed it if so then please subscribe to the channel like and comment and all these things we will see you next time
