 To the right here and then here to the left. Don't even know if the place exists actually Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Olli We are attempting a new Guinness world record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle After riding 3,000 miles across Europe, we are now ready to explore the roads of North Africa Click the subscribe button to follow our journey around the world and let the adventure begin We missed our tent so much that we built up the tent even in the hotel room He was a mosquito invasion going on and we couldn't handle it So we decided to pitch up the tent on the bed Impromptu mosquito netting Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 42 on our round the world trip We are here in the city of Tangier in Morocco. Have a look in front of us We have this beautiful and yet affordable room here in the city just off the bay We can see Tangier beach down in front of us and um, we had a couple of days off here in Tangier We had a walk around the old town We're just chilling out here in Morocco and just loving it Yeah, we had to do a little bit of planning because we didn't know where to go when we entered Morocco So we we planned our route a little bit and we had also to check out what insurance we need So we went around the streets and looked for the, uh, right insurance Yeah, they didn't mention anything at the border about getting insurance But uh, after looking online, we read that it was mandatory So during the days off we thought it was definitely necessary to get ourselves a policy It was like 900 dirhams. So it's about 90 euros for one month So right it's just 8.15 in the morning. So we are quite early today, but the streets are empty Which is good for us because we are going to ride in a little bit and It's a good start just to have empty streets, you know So our first day riding in North Africa. Let me show you where we're gonna go Okay, so we have our awesome new Morocco map and we are up here at the very top in Tangier And today we are going to be making our way down the coast Towards l'arash and hoping to camp somewhere between l'arash and moulay-boussalam Here on the coast So we have still to pick up a few things and get Bamba Bue road ready. So let's go Welcome to Morocco. Welcome to Morocco Thank you Okay, okay ready to rock and roll. I'm hot already Okay Okay, okay It's getting hot. So apparently it's up here. Yeah, like you said the streets are not too busy just yet Luckily Okay Here we go There's a mosque ahead Yeah, there's some really beautiful mosques here in Tangier We uh had a bit of an exploration over the last few days and we saw quite a few of them I love the minarets. Looks really nice Nice Look at that Fill up some fuel. Yeah, why not? Salam Alhamdulillah Full, thank you Yes, merci Okay filled up on fuel The price was 15 dirham per for a liter, which is about 1 euro 50 Um, so not much cheaper here in Morocco. Look at this traffic light He's walking. He's like you can't walk You can walk Yesterday we took the bus into town and the bus cost was 3.5 dirham, which is 35 cents Wow, that was really cheap. That is cheap. Yeah, we've rooted ourselves Out of the west of the city Which is I think the shortest way out of the city because we don't want to be stuck in here for too long Because the traffic is getting more and more crazy by the second Wow, we just exit the city center and now we are here in the suburbs and it looks like Miami, baby It's like villa after villa after villa palm trees and it looks so rich and crazy here. Wow Yeah, this is the Hollywood Hills and you can see behind us The whole city underneath Wow And it's so green here. It's so green trees grass bushes Everywhere. Yeah, I don't know if it's artificial green like there's gardeners and stuff I've seen a lot of people around watering But I also think that this north part of the coast is a bit greener than the Morocco I have in in like my head But yeah, definitely a richer part of the suburbs of Tangier definitely Okay, we have hit the Atlantic coast, but it's a very misty day. So we can't see very far out But it's a beautiful area here just outside of Tangier down by the coast. Look at this That's stunning. It is stunning It's so nice. It looks so nice. I'm a little bit sadder. We didn't really spend time here I love the Moroccan people already. They're so open They're so nice. They're always like smiley and friendly and it's so nice to talk to them Wow, look at this beach here. Yeah, this looks like a cool beach At the moment it's not very hot. It's humid So we are sweating but at the same time When we're going along with the breeze we cool down quite quickly. So I'm not feeling hot at all No, it's only 23 degrees today at the moment. That's quite nice. Yeah, and pretty cloudy as you can see It's just gray skies today actually. So not the endless sunshine of Morocco that I was expecting But that'll probably change as we get further down towards the desert On another beach. Look at that. Wow That's nice. Yeah, and not really very busy roads as well. Oh, look camels our first camels There we go And he's pretty and little baby camels and baby camels Wow There you go your first camels in Morocco I was hoping more to see wild camels, but But I don't know if there are any wild camels left. I think There's apparently no wild camels like wild wild. They're all owned by someone So we've reached our first payage So it looks like we just press the button get a ticket if that's all right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Can you reach it? And that's it. I think and then you put it in at the end Perfect and it says bon route. Merci So the price is depending how far How far we go down this payage So we will head down here for 63 miles And we'll let you know the price when we get to the other side for this part. We turned off adventure routing because It added on another 60 miles We thought for the first day driving. Let's keep it nice and easy Let's get used to the roads. Let's get used to the traffic and yeah, let's have a easy start But we'll get to some nice roads When we head further inland to stopping here at a an air a rest area on the payage and look at this some fried eggs and some Bread and I saw the oven actually. It's it's like a wood burning oven like really traditional. So It's gonna be really really nice. Look at that. Oh Looks good. And how much did everything cost? I think it's about, um, five euro or six euro. So Pretty good price. It's not bad It's bumblebee Look how green and forested it is here So we're a little bit further down the coast and it's just eucalyptus trees Like a eucalyptus forest everywhere around us Is surprising because I thought it was mostly all desert But uh, nope it's really green And it's an incredibly gray and dusty day today We haven't seen the sun shining and I think the atmosphere has loads and loads of dust or sand in it Because you can't see very far at all into the distance I think the wind has whipped up all the sand and it's just like It just looks like a regular day in the uk We've come all the way to africa for a gray day Look at this crazy sign. Look at this language the one below the arabic That is really cool. I think that is the Berber language of morocco Which I'm not sure of the name, but uh, I'll look it up and let you know All right, so we have just left the payage it cost us 38 dirham Which is uh, well, it's basically 10 to 1 for the euro. So it's basically 3 euro 80 and we went about 60 miles. So that's not so bad. That's a very good price, I think Yeah, but we won't be taking the payage all the way down through the country though We want to get on some smaller roads So yeah, we are a couple of miles now from mule buselham So yeah, not too far to go and then we'll see about Some campsites in town that we've seen on the map So it's like in 600 meters right I think it's this one here to the to the right. Okay Hello Waiters to the left very soon. Okay left very soon here here here here to the left.
