 oh my god some steps guys i just wanted to pause and show you this bike look at that there's another yellow Suzuki yeah it's a Suzuki's little brother it looks amazing doesn't even have a number plate i think this is a rental i think it's dripping some oil yeah it's definitely dripping oil the chain guard looks just like ours yep haven't changed good morning world welcome back to our circumnavigation around the globe i'm motorcycle we're here in the city of Osh in Kyrgyzstan and today is a super exciting day because we are crossing another border today we are going to be crossing the border into country number 29 on our journey around the world Uzbekistan the city of Osh is actually very very close to the Uzbekistan border it's estimated to be up to 3000 years old and we're on the ancient silk road so it was a pretty cool place to spend the night and yesterday we had an amazing exploration of a 2000 year old bazaar in the center of the city this one here is a sheep's tail pretty crazy the route we're going to be taking today is also following the ancient silk road backwards towards europe so let me show you guys where we're headed so we are down here and today we're going to be crossing the border over to Uzbekistan and following this road towards the city of Kokkand it all goes well at the border we should be arriving at the city of Kokkand this afternoon i'm excited you can just imagine that along these maybe not this road i don't know if they had tarmac thousands of years ago but along this way people have been bringing goods back and forth all the way from china and all the way from europe it's pretty incredible really to be in a place with such an amazing and rich history so anyway it's just a short ride to the border just 11 minutes and we are very good on time you have to say you're lying it's already eight o'clock so better hit the road let's go do you think we have to hide the drones or put them in a different place i don't think so somebody said on the comments uh-huh they said oh hide the drones or something like this why i don't know why so i was sort of in my mind like hmm should we actually move the drones i think it's probably fine all right i think we're getting pretty close now we've got a whole line of trucks standard border oh wow it's like right in front of us i think oh okay we're going to try to skip ahead as much as possible all right we'll just carry on straight for now okay yeah i think this is pretty much the very front and it looks like they've got the same system like kazakhstan russia where they sort of open the gates let a bunch of people through and then close them again okay maybe let's just turn off the cameras yeah two hours later welcome to kyrgyzstan oh no so we are back in kyrgyzstan i wish i could have recorded some of that but that would have made the situation much worse than it was which was pretty bad already so we had a few hiccups the first hiccup was that trying to exit kyrgyzstan they wanted our temporary import permit from when we came into kyrgyzstan but we forgot to get it or they didn't give it to us when we came into kyrgyzstan from kazakhstan i asked them at the border i said okay anything else do i need any document anything no no no go go go no problem no problem but apparently they were supposed to have given us a temporary import permit and the guy was like you can't leave kyrgyzstan unless you give us this piece of paper yeah and he was really strict he was like no if you don't have a physical paper you have to return go back to kazakhstan and whatever so for a little while we were there and we had no idea what to do but then he started mentioning to us oh did you get a paper from russia did you get a paper from any country to prove you know that this bike is coming in then we remembered that we sent a whatsapp of our russian import permit to yuri back in vladivostok so we just met up with yuri and look what he has for us so that temporary import permit that we got in vladivostok we had a picture of it so i showed him the picture and he's saying at first no no no physical copy but then we said oh can't we email it to you whatsapp and his colleagues were there and they were like we are so lucky that actually the colleagues were there and they saw it and they saw us so they were like yes just send it you know like yeah yeah so then the guy said to us okay if you whatsapp me those pictures you're allowed to exit kyrgyzstan yeah so we whatsapped in the pictures and everything was fine but then you guys must be wondering why are we back in kyrgyzstan well that wasn't the biggest issue yeah the biggest issue was that when we were coming into us bekistan everything was fine we got the passport stamped we got the temporary import permit for bumblebee and we thought we were home free and ready to go until they did an inspection of bumblebee yeah he came around looking around the bike and he said to me you have drone and i looked him in the eye i said no no drone because that's just my standard response whenever they ask me about drones i always say no drone because it's always good to just say no and then he looked in everything we had and of course what did he find he found our two drones oh drone oh i thought she said something else apparently drones are illegal in uzbekistan yeah they looked at us they say if you take the drone inside they will arrest you yeah so they said you have two choices you can either we we literally smash up your drones like that's it they're gone or return to kyrgyzstan and figure something out with them there send them or do something different so that's what we did we've turned around yeah we're coming back towards ash we've re-entered kyrgyzstan this time we've got a temporary import permit on our way in uh-huh it's going to save us a lot of hassle when we have to exit again so we're going to head back to ash now and uh try and figure out what we're going to do about these drones because we can't go through Uzbekistan with these drones yeah massive bummer yeah we were like so there we had the temporary import permit we had our passport stamped officially we have entered and been into Uzbekistan yeah even if it was only for about half an hour we shipped our drones twice already once over Nicaragua and once over Russia just to avoid any bad situations yeah and now the third time we ran into trouble with these drones yeah and we can't go into Uzbekistan with them yeah so the time is now 11 o'clock so it's basically taken us the whole morning to get all that done so yeah we'll have a think about it and see what we can do cheerio thank you so we found ourselves a nice place to have some more lachman which is basically noodles with vegetables and a little bit of meat so we're gonna eat this and then decide what to do this is like the longest noodle ever bye bye another awesome lachman lunch this was pretty much the only option yeah they basically just had one big pot with meat and veg and then they just give you a portion of noodles with that yeah exactly that's it that's your option basically but anyway I had a little think about what we're planning to do so the original plan was to go to Tashkent the capital of Uzbekistan and cross the border back into Kazakhstan and go up to the city of Shankent or Shimkent but we realized actually that where we are right now in Osh we can actually ride back up through Kyrgyzstan and cross the border in the northwest and basically that puts us just in front of the same city Shankent yeah and this meant that we can skip Uzbekistan completely which is a little bit of a shame but I really don't want to send the drones again we don't know where to send the drones to and then you've got the the cost of sending which is probably another hundred hundred and fifty dollars and then you've got the issue of when you want to pick them up most of the time they want you to pay some sort of customs duty import tax there are always so many processes you have to go through it's always such a hassle I mean we've sent the drones twice already on this trip basically it was a choice between send the drones for a third time yeah or just go round Uzbekistan yes exactly and it's like actually I really like Kyrgyzstan I like the people so why not spending a few more days here in Kyrgyzstan yeah and the good thing is once we get to Jalalabad we're going a completely different way than the way we came so we don't have to backtrack too far to basically make progress yeah we're going a couple of hours back to Jalalabad and then from there it's all onwards and towards the border to Kazakhstan yeah so sorry Uzbekistan you'll have to be on the next trip yeah without drones without drones look there's a whole bunch of horses going down the road what the hell oh that must be really distressing for them look how much traffic there is wow okay with the tone here yep 37,999.9 we just hit 38,000 miles on the road Jalalabad again nice to be back haha nice to be back well at least we had a nice trip down to Osh didn't we yes as well and to meet the guys from the Uzbekistan border you know with a few chats yeah we got some passport stamps for no reason yeah so all in all a nice little detour for sure so now we're gonna go and stay at the same place that we stayed in Jalalabad two days ago yeah I really hope that the room we stayed at is still available yeah it was a nice one it was a nice room yes yeah beautiful yeah that's one bank that'd be good enough eh any bank will do any bank will do we've just stopped in the center of Jalalabad now that we're staying more days in Kyrgyzstan we need to get some Kyrgyz some some local currency because a lot of the places that we've been staying don't take card just like the one we're going to stay tonight so spent all our cash as usual ready to leave the country and now we need more okay cash mission successful we're back to Gages yeah I really don't know it's probably payday or something but I was in the queue and in front of me probably 30 people wow yeah I was really busy I was thinking to go to a different bank but I didn't know which bank and I was like okay no we'll just wait here it's 35 degrees oh my god I can feel my head it's so boiling hard yeah I was basically just standing in the sun the whole time like where is Lavinya has she melted yeah exactly so it's 15 minutes over to the accommodation that we stayed out a couple of days ago so we're gonna head over there and then see if they've got space for us yeah please have a space please have a space please have a space for us well if you sing a song so nicely like that then they have to good evening guys we made it happy and alive yes it's nice to be back in Kyrgyzstan in the same room where we were before yes I love this room so we were just looking it up and apparently drones are definitely banned in Uzbekistan importing selling purchasing or operating a drone in Uzbekistan could result in a three-year prison sentence I think it's really nice to the guys that they kind of said drones are banned but if you guys want to turn around and just leave Uzbekistan very quickly then you guys can go yeah I'm so happy that they were so kind and anyway the detail that we're going to be taking is pretty much the same distance as going through Uzbekistan anyway so it doesn't change too much with our trip so that's good yes we have just to organize now and see if we can find another garage somewhere in Kazakhstan which can receive a new chain and new sprocket set for bumblebeef 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
