 Good morning guys welcome back to our Guinness World Record attempt to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle Good morning bumblebee We're here at a campsite in the small village of Cossandere in the mountains of Turkey It doesn't really feel like the Turkey I had in my head. It's like gray and wet and green and green But I think that's gonna change because today we're heading south so let me show you guys the route for today So we are here and today we're heading south because our new mission here in Turkey is to reach our second point of interest Mount Nemrut all the way in the south So today we're gonna be taking this road south Towards the town of Erzincan and then this road to see how far we can get towards El Aziz We won't reach it today, but we try to get as far south as we can It's already 7.30 and we still have to pick up everything so better hit the road let's go We have still some oil dripping here from our suspension and we watched a video recently that you can actually Create your own little tool to clean it out. So this is what we did here Yeah, okay cool So now I'm trying to clean out the dust and the dirt definitely some dirt coming out Hopefully that will be good enough I actually just tried to plug in my phone here at the back It used to work all the time, but we had a lot of rain at one point and we forgot to close it I think it's totally broken now. So we're gonna check our tire pressure as well this morning Just to make sure it's in a good place. What is it normally on? So the front we're looking for 38 psi and we are at 35 and a half So we'll just give it a little bit more There you go. Easy as that. Ready? Take only photographs leave only footprints and a dry tent outline I just saw we didn't actually get the footage of the Cameras yesterday. So the one SD card is nearly full. I can see we have 13 minutes left on this SD card on this one Wow, yeah, you're right. We're gonna have to stop on the side of the road and like import this camera's footage. Okay Let's do it 354 miles to Mount Nemrut. Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye. Bye Google estimates eight hours and 41 minutes. So yeah, we'll see how far we can get today For us is probably more like 16 hours. I don't know why but we are so slow The day can pass like nothing, you know, and we haven't even gotten anywhere Well, like I always say Stopping is the whole point of moving around, isn't it? Yeah, but I think it's a couple thing as well We slow each other down. Yeah, yeah, you especially me But this was a really beautiful place to spend the night nestled in this beautiful valley here Yeah, I had actually as well a very good night just that my blow-up pillow has a hole So I had to blow up my pillow. Yeah, mine has a hole as well times in the night Yeah, our gear is pretty worn Yeah, it was our first time camping for ages. Yeah, I can't even remember the last time we camped Maybe in Russia. No, no, Kyrgyzstan So, yeah, we didn't camp since Kyrgyzstan our climate double mattress is just so so comfortable If you're a couple you have to invest in a double blow-up mattress for sure They are so so good and we camped for so long with two single mattresses And they're sliding around moving around and we both end up waking up in the morning in the middle with no mattress So this double mattress is just like oh was such a game-changer for our camping setup Yeah, just like the chairs the climate chairs. I love that. I love those chairs All right first fuel up in Turkey. It's time to find out the prices. How does it work? How does it work? How does it work? Do we do it ourselves? Does somebody help us? I have no idea. Everything's always so new. Oh, I think there's a fella coming. Somebody's coming, yeah Somebody's coming. Hello They have to write down the number plate apparently. It's interesting. So here it looks like they've got two diesels and one regular. Yes Perfect. And the regular is 95. Is that what it says? Yeah. There you go up to 95 octane So it's 39 lira per liter. Okay, that's quite a lot. 39 Yeah, one pound twenty one pound twenty per liter. So it's getting more expensive. Hey, yeah, that is more expensive for sure I mean in Kazakhstan we paid like 35 pence. Oh my god. I can't believe it's yeah, it's quadrupled since Kazakhstan Thank you so much perfect It's okay inside. Okay So I'm not 100% sure but I think I just read on the sign that this tunnel is 14 kilometers long How is that possible please? Is it actually going to be 14 kilometers long? I have no idea, but we just saw a sign that this road here is build 2023 So we are one of the first people actually riding it. It's crazy man If it is 14 kilometers long then this is going to be by far the longest tunnel we have ever ridden through The longest tunnel so far was that one in Columbia that was I think eight kilometers long Yeah, exactly and that was the longest tunnel in the Americas. Whoa. Look at this. This is so futuristic Okay, this is like a really modern tunnel really impressed good job Turkey 10 kilometers It was written up there. What still to go. I think so Here it is finally getting to the end whoa That actually was a 40 kilometer tunnel guys. We must have been so deep underground there. That's insane It's so insane So absolutely insane Well, we've reached the top of this pass 2,120 meters above sea level Whoa, look at this. Yeah, it looks crazy here. Wow That's a view. Yeah, look at the valley down there Let's check it out a yeah It's a perfect little lookout place I love it when you get to a viewpoint and then there's a perfect little little place to look out. That's great Whoa Okay, oh This is chicken. The chicken and this beef. Oh look at these ones. Got my standard bucket of bread on the table So like every table here has actually a big bucket of bread. Thank you Whoa What have you got there? It's like a whole kebab Rice salad and a giant bit of bread That looks so good. I think this is gonna be dinner as well as lunch for all German tourists Ausfahrt So now that we're completely stuffed after our luncheon Erzenkahn and back on the winding mountain roads It's time to tell you guys a little bit more about country number 30 on our round-the-world trip Turkey so Turkey is one of the world's earliest permanently settled regions and is home to important Neolithic sites like Gobekli Tepe and Mount Nemrut that we're going to be visiting tomorrow It's also been home to many important ancient civilizations like the Assyrians and the Persians and the Greeks but the modern history of Turkey has been dominated by the Ottoman Empire Which started around the 13th century and that lasted all the way up until the end of the First World War And it actually wasn't until 1923 that Turkey became a republic so the name Turkey first appeared in Western sources during the Crusades in the 11th century and Turkey just simply means land of the Turks and it's really interesting actually because the first Christian church in the world is located in Turkey in a place called Antakya and also Santa Claus St. Nicholas was actually born in Patara in Turkey in AD 300 but the modern-day population of Turkey is 85 million and Turkey is home to 19 UNESCO World Heritage sites And is the fourth most visited country in the world and I have one more interesting fact for you Turkey exports 75% of the world's hazelnuts Can you believe it? So there you go a few interesting facts about Turkey whilst we're climbing up and up and up Into this mountain region. We're just doing switchback after switchback after switchback Well, there you go views on the other side. Yeah, wow, Turkey is so beautiful It's so big as well and all over the place beautiful, you know You go from one mountain range to the next to the next to the next Well coming into a super crazy gorge here, look at this Awesome Wow, what a road look at this Absolute favorite road here. Yeah, this is one of the most spectacular roads. We've ridden in a long time Hello Who's your big mountain dog? Who's your big old mountain doggy?

Thank you. Can't go wrong with our dinner and breakfast Coming up to a giant reservoir now. We actually have to take a ferry to cross this reservoir here I think the reservoir is called Kebam Baraji and we read online that the ferry is actually quite quick just 15 minutes We will just go there now and check it out And see if we want to take the ferry today or perhaps tomorrow Because we saw an eye overlander as well that we might can wild camp here on the reservoir Which would be really cool. Yeah, that would actually be really really nice Hello Hi, hi, it's okay. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Yeah, okay Okay Hello Hello the ferry. What time? 27 minutes. How many times per day? 30 times And tomorrow What time the first? 6 6 a.m. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. What do you think? What should we do? I don't know. I Don't know now. It's 4 o'clock elastic elastic. Yes. Yes. Yes Yes, thank you. Thank you. Oh the ferry is probably just going like in a minute. I Think the ferry is just leaving actually They'd already cleared everything So we'll have a look and see where these camps are Okay, and then we'll decide whether we're gonna take the next ferry or if we're gonna stay on this side for tonight and have a camp This is an absolutely massive dog. Look how big this dog is Okay, so the camp on I overlander looks actually pretty good It's like just one kilometer on this little road running along the lake just here sounds actually really nice And this place is super beautiful So we decided that we're going to spend the night there and then take the ferry tomorrow morning Basically, I think we're just going this way Well, so just stunning area though. Hey look at this reservoir beautiful. Wow Oh Wow, that's pretty close there. Look at that. Yeah. Oh bash plate Okay, I think They're referring to here. I guess anywhere here Okay, not too bad. It's pretty good. Hey, so we can actually still see the ferry coming in just there Amazing view. Look at that. Yeah, I'm just cleaning off the oil It looks like that. It's still leaking and it doesn't look very good. You can see here as well a lot of oil so I think it's about three or four rides to Antalya and then we desperately have to Change the seal because if the oil is dripping on the brake pads It's not a good idea. So bumblebee was already due to get a service in Antalya anyway Plus possibly some new tires. So I guess we'll just have to add that to the list of things new fork seal We made it happy the life Yeah, this is a super awesome spot here We can just watch the ferries going to and fro and the landscape here and the water. It's just incredible Yeah at the moment very peaceful very quiet. I hope it will stay like this over the night So we will just chill out here for a little bit try to rest Pitch up the tent a little bit later and then tomorrow morning We will take the ferry over to the other side which we can see from here as well. It's not far It's not far actually like a 10-minute ferry. Yeah, super cool. And that's it from us today We hope you enjoyed the video if so, please give us a thumbs up subscribe to the channel share the video with your friends and family Comment below and we will see you next time So cool there's a castle over there on an island in the middle of the reservoir so cool
