 good morning it's in progress I'm going back to bed okay so this morning we're gonna have to go down here crossing this river to come up on the other bank here fall over about there give up take a flight home good morning world welcome back to our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle good morning we're here at a small campsite near the village of Yostsema in the Altai region of eastern Russia and look at the scene behind us we camped next to this beautiful river and this beautiful forest behind yeah we had actually a really good night it was quite raining during the night but the raindrops on our tent were quite soothing like you go on YouTube and you search like bedtime relaxing background sounds this is what it was so we have only two rides left here in Russia before we reach the border to Kazakhstan which is really good because our visa is very close to expiring the plan for today is to reach at least the city of Barnau which is about four hours away if we can get a little bit further it would be even better so we still have to pick up everything and it's already 9 o'clock so better hit the road let's go goodbye peaceful river rib update still hurts but a little bit less than yesterday which is good all right I'll see you in Kazakhstan with the suspension broken it's actually easier to get the bike up right wow look at this now the Sun's coming out it's just beautiful hey it was raining a little bit this morning as well so I'm so glad just as we're about to leave just seems to be brightening up maybe we won't get wet today okay let's go update our suspension is still broken ribs still broken it's like a pension still broken yeah it's like in the worst condition such a big surprise how quickly the suspension broke but anyway we have just two days left here in Russia in Kazakhstan we will have visa which probably is for like 30 days or something so we have the time to fix it yeah the moment whatever happens we just have to keep going we do not want to overstay so yeah not a lot of time left we really really just got to get through the next two days broken ribs broken suspension and all we just have to make it to Kazakhstan yeah and we're still surrounded by the beautiful tiger forest just look at this place it is literally wilderness forest mountain paradise here in Altai yeah Altai is so far one of my favorite regions actually it's just so lush so mountainous the rivers are beautiful oh look I think we're gonna cross one of the rivers now the river Katya or Katya Katya wow look at that yeah that's a big fast-flowing river coming straight down from the glaciers yeah I mean can't get better than that yeah amazing I mean this is just the land of mountains forests rivers and bears this is Siberia baby just have to do a quick turn around to show you guys this place look at this it's an upside-down house what is going on that's really really funny yeah I've never ever seen anything like that in my life what look at this place there's a car there's a pram there's some streetlights wow look there's a reception here which is also upside down do you think the inside is also upside down don't have a look inside cool so this is the kids room wow nice oh that's so cool look the whole building is like on an angle it's kind of freaky hey yeah it's weird hey it's like gravity is off the bedroom oh wow it's totally weird when you stand and you just see the room okay let's go upstairs oh look there's a gorilla yeah the brain doesn't really like that you know my brain is like kind of makes me feel a bit sick nice bathroom oh do you think if I played this entire video upside down it would look like we're walking on the roof okay I'm gonna do that this is a real test of wife material whoa here we go that's amazing oh well that's such a cool place it was actually cooler than expected I think the best thing is the pictures that you can take in there are so funny it was like really really fun that was cool is that gourmet or what so we've left the mountains behind and it's mad busy here we've basically just been following like a line of traffic for the whole day we've done a hundred miles now and we've got about another hundred to get to bar now but I don't know how long that's gonna take a little bit of a different ride than yesterday that's for sure still stuck behind a lot of cars and trucks but I have important news for you guys we just hit 36,000 miles on the road bumblebee is still bleeding I thought actually all the oil was gone already but apparently bumblebee is still dripping oil it's really really bouncy look at that oh man I hope we can get a replacement in Almaty after today for more rides and then bumblebee gets a complete new service a new shock we will clean it up perfectly that we can make sure the bumblebee will make it all the way back home fingers crossed so it is not looking very good ahead here is rain and over here is rain there is blue skies I think we're starting to get wet already yeah and I can see now the cars coming the other way I've got their windscreen wipers on I reckon it's time for us to stop and put our rain gear on let's do it I'm not really ready to go but I've got to go anyway so we're just heading out of Varnal now we decided that we would push on through and get a little bit closer to the Kazakhstan border just to make our day tomorrow a little bit easier so we're going to be heading to a town which is about 70 miles further towards the border and the GPS says that's going to take us another hour and a half yes and tomorrow it's then two and a half hours to the border and then about one hour 45 to the next place where we're gonna have a rest for a couple of days we've made really good progress we've already done 200 miles today the mountains have disappeared yeah the mountains disappear the road got bigger and busier so we may as well just make distance to be honest yep all right we're coming into the town of Al Niesk Al Niesk Al Niesk we checked on Google Maps they have a couple of hotels here so hopefully we can find something but first we have something else to do ah yes yes a far more important mission than finding accommodation so it's open so we just stopped at this place and this place is actually a pizza place and we successfully ordered a pizza but then she told me it's like 40 minutes waiting time so anyway we ordered the pizza we said no worries we will head now to the hotel first and then in 40 minutes we go back and pick up our nice vegetarian pizza very soon we're going to be chilling in a room with a pizza which I'm very excited about my ribs are still pretty killing me to be honest but anyway one more day and we are in Kazakhstan and then we can have a real good rest yeah this is kind of funny no imagine you have like a giant pipe outside the front of your house wow looks like it is a military place here oh just here yeah yeah I saw tons of military people the back streets of Balneysk exactly the bouncy back streets yeah wow the whole day was totally fine now we're taking this one road and we are just bouncing around like crazy oh man really hope we can get it fixed okay let's hope that the place where we're trying to get to is real okay it looks like it's somewhere here it's basically next to the railway what yeah apparently so yeah maybe it's this one over there here yeah this orange one here okay I think it's this one here but yeah like you said it's like right there right next to the railway it is it is literally I mean it's the railway here okay I think this is it yeah let me check out the price this really is like the middle of nowhere yeah okay okay five minutes later so this was unfortunately a no-go she just looked at me and said yet yet and I'm like what yet fool and she's like no no no no yet yet so either she didn't want to give us a room or there were no rooms available but I'm not 100% sure which one so let's just pray that the next hotel will have some rooms for us yeah there aren't very many hotels in town so yeah we don't have a lot of options fingers crossed on the next one 15 minutes later so yeah there was a no-go as well yeah second hotel fully booked apparently yeah I don't know I think that the hotels here are just booking out all of their rooms to workers or in this case military people yeah so the whole town is actually pretty much full with military people yeah so anyway we're back at the pizza place we're gonna pick up our pizzas yeah and then we're gonna have to move to another town because there is no options here pizza so we looked on the map and it seems like the next hotels are 59 miles down the road in the next big town oh yes okay sure okay all right wow that looks like an awesome pizza it's full of stuff I really needed that absolutely unsuccessful in this town and we didn't want to ride around too much because there were a lot of military people in this town and we thought it's a good idea just to move on we are quite tired but there is another place an hour away from here so we're just eating our pizza here the side of the road now and then we move on so there's a symbol for a bed here says 400 meters yeah let's check it out hey bed this way okay bed this way that's exactly what we want exactly come on there's like nobody here there's like two cars and one truck if they don't have space for us then they don't build hotels properly in Russia is all I can say seriously yeah let's check it out fingers crossed fingers crossed I just want a bed so badly hello how are you I don't know what you are saying oh what are you saying English, German, German English hey, good to meet you you saw the sign there sorry, the sign is in Russian in Russian party man party man I don't know what it means party man party man party man party man party man party man very kind words, right? you sleep here? I don't know don't wear where are we going? in Kazakhstan yeah, we sleep here and tomorrow in Kazakhstan in Semay where are you from? Europe, Africa, Brazil, USA, Canada oh yeah, like it's raining, it's raining we got here, and it's raining really hard yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah thank you thank you, thank you thank you yes, they had a room for us, thank god and it's not a bad room and it was only 10 pounds for the night and the lady here, she even made our beds like everything is nice, fresh, washed it's so cool, I'm so happy yeah, because I was a little bit worried before like all the hotels in that town were fully booked and although the people there, the locals they seemed so friendly like seriously, they came up to us they asked us a lot of questions they were really smiling, hugging us they were so happy to see us but on the other side, it was full with military people as well so it's like this big contrast I just didn't feel really comfortable with all these military around, I was just like this is not the right town to stay in we've got to move on, we've got to move on yes, and we did, and we found this lovely place here we will have breakfast tomorrow morning here as well, I think yeah, because it's a cafe with a hotel and it wasn't even on Google Maps it wasn't on iOverland, it was on nothing we just saw the sign on the side of the road it was like, bed, that way and we were like, okay it's the perfect option plus we did a lot of distance today we were supposed to do only around 200 miles and finish in Bar now but we ended up doing 350 miles and now we are only one and a half hours from the Kazakhstan border so that's positive, that's really good yeah, so that means we can have breakfast nicely tomorrow here, and then we can just hit the road, quite relaxed because we don't have too far to go and then tomorrow we'll be reaching the city of Seme and there will be our first big rest stop so I'm really looking forward to that the holidays!
