 Today we are going to be riding to the longest beach on the planet. Hi I'm Lavi and I'm Oli and this is our hero Bumblebee. Together we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three here in South America. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 225 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. And we are here in the town of South Jose de Norte. We're just hiding behind the bike because of the wind but we're in this field in the middle of town. Some horses behind, they were our companions in the night. Very cute. We asked the guys at the police station just behind us yesterday and they said it was absolutely fine for us to just camp here in the middle of town so it's awesome. Thanks so much. It was really really nice and a quiet night. But we've got an exciting day for our last ride in Brazil so let me show you guys where we're heading today. So we are here in South Jose de Norte and today we are going to be taking a ferry across the Rio Grande River to Rio Grande heading slightly across to the town of Casino where the longest beach in the world is before making our way down the coast all the way to the bottom just before the edge of the map and the border of Uruguay. Yeah super exciting to see the beach definitely as the longest beach on this planet. Absolutely crazy. So we have about 150 miles today and it's already 7 20. We're thinking that the ferry is leaving at 8 o'clock but we have to check out that now so better hit the road let's go. I don't think I can pick it up. Yeah all right so this grass that we camped on yesterday is very very sandy grass. Look at that it's a bit deep here oh yeah a little bit soft. Nice there's the police station the lovely police that let us camp. Obrigado ready to rock and roll hey ready let's do it. I think it's only a mile or so to get over to the ferry port. We read online that the ferry has three sailings. The first one is at eight and the next one isn't until one so if we missed the eight o'clock one then we would have to wait quite a long time. Yes looks like a really cute place here though. I mean of course the roads are again very nice and bumpy. Kind of like that town we were in yesterday where we had lunch Havades. They have all got this main street and the buildings are quite charming aren't they? According to the GPS it's down here let's see. Oh maybe it's there maybe it's here actually. Okay so I think this is the ferry in front and there's a couple of motorcycles here at the front so I'll just go with them. Yeah okay. What's your number today? Um cylinder two cylinders two cylinders 1,050 cc. Oh I think 50 cc swap. So all these cars are trying to get onto the ferry but they're all like these lowered cars. Look how low this car is and the last one he could hardly get up because he was hitting the middle of the car on the edge of the ferry. What about this guy? Look it's definitely hitting something underneath. I don't know why these guys all lowered their cars so much. Do you hear that? Oh my lord all of them are like going up the ramp and then they're like all of them. Oh my lord. It's okay? How close. Wow that's crazy that nearly every car that was waiting has managed to get on this ferry wow. The last. We're going we are going we always have so much time on the ferries and then it's always a massive rush as soon as it's like oh they're quickly they're going. Time to pick up the hitchhiker. Awesome so we have arrived in Rio Grande. Wow it looks actually very historic here. Yeah you can see the buildings the architecture. Wow it looks amazing. Look at that cool. Oh I think we'll just fuel up. Yes. Yes. There was 12 pounds 40 for the full tank. That is crazy. What a good price man. What a good price. Wow. So just check out quick the cathedral here. Yeah because it looks really stunning. Oh the streets are nice and empty because it's a Sunday. Yeah and it's still not even 9 a.m. Look at this. Wow. Cool. Yeah beautiful old streets in this town. It's a big place as well. It's a really big place so Rio Grande means actually a great river. The river that we just crossed. Yes exactly and it's one of the oldest cities here in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sol. Yeah this city was actually the state capital between 1835 and 1845 and is still one of the most important port cities in the state and in Brazil. So there's a lot of history here in Rio Grande. Yeah and you can see it. You can see it in the buildings. It's really cool. But so we are heading out of this city and over to a neighboring city called Casino and there we can visit the longest beach in the world. Wow. That's epic man. So we're coming into the town Casino. Now the longest beach in the world is called Praia do Casino. So the beach actually takes its name from the town and the town is named Casino because back in the day there was a lot of casinos here. This is one of the first tourist towns in Brazil and in the late 1800s a lot of people came here and people used to come here to gamble. Everything went downhill when they actually banned roulette. I think that was in the 40s or the 50s or the 60s and so once people couldn't come here to gamble anymore it was just like but maybe nobody realized back then that they actually have the longest beach in the world right in front of them. So now Casino is well known for a different reason. Very interesting. A little bit of history on the bike. Ollie's history lessons. So it looks like the beach is actually coming up pretty quickly. You can see it up ahead. Let's see how far we can get with our little boat bumblebee. It looks like it's right in front but let's go around here and see where we can get. Oh no way look. Wow. It looks like we might be able to ride right onto it. The sand is pretty compact actually. Cool. Let's check this out. No way. I think we can ride on the longest beach in the world. Yes. Look at this. Here it is. Wow. How cool is that? Look how many cars there are. The longest beach on the planet. Freya de Casino. Wow. Cool. Let me just go across. Yeah. Oh the sand is actually very, very compact. It's like riding on tarmac. Amazing. No way. It's amazing. I did not expect it to be that easy to just come here and ride. Oh my god. That's absolutely amazing. Isn't it? Look at that. You just have to look out for the dry sand which I can see in front this part because we are going to slip about if we hit that. Absolutely awesome. So this beach is 158 miles long, 250 kilometers, like we said before, the longest beach in the world by far. And it's only broken at the border of Uruguay where it's intersected by the choice stream that marks the border between the two countries. So pretty much the beach runs from the Rio Grande River, unbroken all the way to the choice stream 158 miles later. They actually hold an ultra marathon race on this beach where they run the entire length. So that's kind of crazy. I wouldn't run it but I would certainly ride it. Cool. What a place, hey? Yeah, absolutely. What a place. We're just going to be careful for sand castles. Bloody kids. Oh, there he is, the culprit. Nice. Wow. Motorcycle on the beach. Awesome. Nice. It's awesome. It's absolutely magical. We've passed pretty much all the cars now and it's just us and the beach. Cool. Oh my lord. Let's check that out. Okay, let's go check that out. Look at this. It's a carcass of a dolphin, a little dolphin. Oh my lord. Whoa. He doesn't really smell, hey. I think it's the log that they've seen it. How strict are we with the vegetarian thing? Because this is quite fresh. Crazy stuff. Look at this. Totally alone. Wow. Oh, look at this up ahead. A shipwreck. Cool. Shipwreck on the beach. That's pretty cool. That is so cool. Cool. Nice. Whoa, look at this. Awesome. That's a really, really, really degraded ship though. Look at that. Wow. It's like barely anything left. Barely anything left. Awesome. Yeah, I think probably this is as far as we go on the beach, hey? Yes. It was cool enough that we could ride on the beach anyway. Like I didn't really expect that. No, I didn't know if we would be able to get on either and it was just so easy in the end, so it's amazing. But I think it's time for us to turn around and make our way back. Apparently it is possible to ride all the way down to the border of Uruguay, the whole like 158 miles. But we are very inexperienced sand riders. Yeah, absolutely. And the bike is very, very heavy, so we don't really want to risk it to get stuck halfway through. We don't know about the tights and we don't know like any conditions here, so. Yeah, and according to the map of what I looked, it's like there's not many options to escape the beach after Casino at the beginning. So if you had some problems, we would be quite stuck. Yes. So for now I'm really happy that we could ride on it for 10-15 miles. We could check it out a little bit. That's really cool. Yeah, how unbelievable riding on the longest beach in the world. It's amazing. Very cool, a very cool experience. We're coming back to the beginning of the beach now at Casino and look, everyone's having a barbecue and a chill. Yeah, you can really smell like the meat. A little bit soft. Oh my god. But it's amazing because the darker sand is so nice to ride on. Just when we see like the lighter patches, we are like, oh my god, we have to stop. Slow down. They say that the faster you ride on the sand, the easier it is. But I don't know, it's a bit, it's a bit scary to ride on the soft sand at a fast speed, I tell you. But this is lovely. Wow, now it's packed with people here. Yeah. But I think for us, this is the end of our experience on Praia do Casino. Goodbye, Praia. Goodbye, Praia. Wow, what an incredible experience, hey? Yeah, it's really cool. Not every day that you get to ride on a beach and the longest beach in the world. What a day. What a day. Just stopping here in Casino at the Padaria. Hopefully we can find something cheesy. Let's check it out. Let's have a look. I'm not sure this is vegetarian. These might be vegetarian. Queijo. This one, queijo or carne? Oh, todo is with carne. Padre queijo vegetariano. Okay. Cispa de queijo, cuatro. This is a obrigada. No, obrigada. All right. Found some cheese balls and some donuts. There wasn't that much choice for vegetarians, unfortunately. So this is all I could find. Hey, how's that? Very good. So we're just leaving Casino and we've actually rooted to a small town, which is just before the border to Uruguay. So it's 137 miles to get over to this town and we've checked on iOverlander and it seems that you can pitch up a tent at the petrol station in that town and apparently they have free wi-fi and a free hot shower. I'm really, really excited to see if this is real or not. And this will be our last ride in Brazil because tomorrow it'll only be a short ride and then we'll be crossing over the border to Uruguay. Yes. Country number eight. Oh, yes. My god, guys. Look how many capybara there are here. Oh my god, this is like a capybara paradise. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, like hundreds. Oh my god. Just absolutely hundreds and look this one on the beach over there. There's one on the beach. There's one swimming and there's one in the mud. Oh my god, look at them. Hundreds. Oh my god. Just hundreds. They're just relaxing. They are just having a good time, aren't they? Wow. Beautiful creatures. Wow. And then the field as well. Look, and then the field. Are they farming them here? Those are sheep in the background, no? Oh, then they're on the side as well. Look, he's walking. What a life, hey. These guys know how to live, hey. It looks like it. It looks like it's such a nice calm animal. Wow. I've never seen such a relaxed animal in my entire life. If I had to come back as anything, hopefully it'd be one of these guys. Awesome. Bye-bye guys. Yeah, we read actually on the sign that this one here is a 17 kilometers long stretch of protected area. Yeah, it's just a huge amount of wetlands. I don't know if you can see in the background here, some lagoons. And if you can see on my garment here in front, but huge lagoons here. I mean, that's massive. So this whole area. Oh my lord, it is just capybara all the way along. Wow. And then in the field as well. And taking over the farmer's field. Cool. That's awesome. That's awesome. I love seeing those guys. This is like the capybara stretch of Brazil. Wait a second. I think you have to turn around. Maybe there was either a crocodile or alligator? No. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Are you kidding me? No. Are you actually kidding me? Okay, I will turn around for that. Okay, go slow. A little bit further. There. Oh my god, it is an alligator. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is a safari now. That is massive. How did you spot that? Okay, so maybe the capybaras don't have such a good life after all. Capybaras on the right and alligators on the left. Yes, that's absolutely magical. After a few, few hours on a very, very long straight road, we are finally arriving in this town which is called Santa Vitoria do Palma. So, it's quarter to five now. So, it's time for us to head to this place and see if we can actually pitch up our tent there. And I think it is just this petrol station in front. Obrigado. Are you sure it's this one? Let me check on my phone. I didn't save it, unfortunately I didn't even screenshot it. Oh, okay. Okay. Maybe if you translate that. Okay. Here at the somewhere here. It is possible to camp here? We are just looking for a place here in town to camp and then we will cross the border to Uruguay tomorrow. Here is only a hotel. They said here is only a hotel. So, I think we could have a drive around and see. So, we had a check on Ioverlanda, checked out a couple of spots but there was nothing really going in this town unfortunately. So, we've seen a truck stop a couple of miles out of town that's listed on Ioverlanda. So, we're going to go and see how it is over there. All right. We're going to ask at Posto Alberto if there's a place for us to pitch our tent. Look, there's some grass. I mean, look, they have a big yard. Let's check it out. He says we can camp on the grass over here or we can camp over here. Okay. Let's see if we can find a flat spot of grass, shall we? I only found a new friend. Very nice, Doug. Another free place to pitch our tent. How awesome is that? It might not be the flattest, best bit of grass in the world but it's free, it's here and it's perfect. It was a really, really awesome day today seeing the largest beat on our planet and not just seeing it, riding it as well was absolutely epic. I didn't realize that we would get to do that actually so that was an amazing surprise and then to see a shipwreck, that was really, really cool and then an unexpected safari on the way over to here. Yeah, we did at the end about 190 miles so we're just about 250 kilometers so a pretty good ride. Tomorrow morning we will cross into Uruguay because we are very close to the border now which will be awesome. I'm super excited about that. Yes. So that's it from us today, we hope you enjoyed the episode. If so, please give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, share the video with your friends and family, comment below. Too much wind. The owner said that there's rain coming tonight and he's advised that we put our tent under a canopy which is over there so that's really nice of him to warn us so we're going to move everything over to there instead. Home sweet home. This might be a one way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a one way. Ah, I was getting used to the beach mentality, no lanes, just go everyone.
