 So we are back out in the desert. We have officially left the capital and are on our way south. Senegal, we are coming! Woohoo! Yeah! We've just entered the Dialing National Park. Let the wilderness adventure begin! Oh, oh my God. Our first wildlife. Warthogs in front. That's so, so cool. This is a safari now. It's okay? Yeah, this grading on the road is really shaking our bike apart. So we hit some sand and now the bike is on the ground. Oh man. Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. 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. It was really soft all of a sudden and the bike was just moving around like crazy and then there's nothing we can do. Oh, luckily there's some guys to come and help us pick it up. Okay, so it looks like Port de Pesh was not our last fall of the day. We still had one more in us, didn't we Lavi? Oh yes. Oh my God. One more. We were just rolling along, the peace was looking normal, the dead road was looking fine, suddenly a massive load of sand on the road. I pull in the clutch to let the bike roll to a stop. I was just like waiting for it to stop because I couldn't hit the brake, it wasn't doing anything. So I don't know, man. I don't know. Anyway, we have 10 more kilometers to reach the border, so we'll just hope for the best. Hope that there's not too much more sand. Let's have a look here. No, this is okay. This is okay. Yeah, that's okay here. Straight, yeah. Bumpy, but okay. This is like a bit where we actually like the grading, hey? Yeah, exactly. It gives us a bit of grip. Yeah. So we are about one and a half miles from the border now. Yeah, we're getting closer. We're getting closer. Oh look, there's a fellow. Hello. I've already had enough of dirt roads again. We had a break from them and I was a bit excited to get back on. But no, now I'm over it already again. I'm over it. This is two falls are enough for today. And I'm glad that we're getting close to the border now, I tell you. Oh, look at Camel. Dirt road. Hello. That's cute. Where's he going? Where are you going? Oh no, oh no. Nice. It looks like actually we're coming up to some sort of building. We'll turn off the cameras when we get close to the border. Just to make sure it all goes smoothly. And we will catch you guys on the other side. We have just left Mauritania and we're now in the no man's land in between. And up ahead there is the border of Senegal. So we're going to go see what's going on on that side. But it was not too bad, hey? No, it was not too bad. No, it was not too bad. It was fine. And so chilled compared to our way in, I tell you. Oh my God. Yes. So chilled. It was right to take this border out in the middle of nowhere because like there's just no one around. And you know, everybody's free and they're all kind of chilled. So it's nice. And look at all this water. Wow. Wow. It looks really nice refreshing. Yeah. This must be like sort of the side of the Senegal River. Whoa. Look at this. Wow. Incredible. That's crazy here. Look at this. Absolutely incredible. All this water coming through. Wow. What a river, hey? What a river. Incredible. Wow. So halfway done. Now we've got the Senegal side to do. So I think we'll turn the cameras off now. See how we get on. Nice. Here it is. Barrage de Diama, the border of Diama. And we have officially entered Senegal. Woo. Welcome to Senegal. Nice. Nice. Look at this place. It's so cool. Yes. We've made it through the border. It is 20 to 5 in the afternoon. We met these guys at the border already. Woo. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Beautiful. Well that was not too hard a process to get through into Senegal or even get out of Mauritania. It really wasn't that bad. No, it wasn't that bad at all actually. I mean, when we arrived everyone had sort of lunch. So we had to wait a little bit, but after they finished their lunch we could go ahead and only sorted most of the things out. Yeah, the Mauritania side, you know, they just, there was one building. They gave the passports and the guy, he didn't even use a computer. He just wrote it down. Actually he wanted a copy of the passport just to keep. But we had run out of all of our copies. So he wrote down the information on the passport and we went through to the next place. And there they stamped us out. And then they took the pass avant, the temporary import permit. And that was basically it. It really wasn't that hard. It took about an hour. But one thing that was strange is every step of the way, the guy would at the end say, ah, that's 400 ogea please. Kind of in a bit of a, hmm, can I get away with this? And you know what, we still had some ogea left. That's about 10 euro though. I was like, hmm, okay, I gave him 400. And then the next place when they took the paper away for the temporary import permit, he was like, hmm, cat's on ogea. And I was like, is everybody supposed to get 10 euro from me every step of the way? At the end it was 10 and 10 and then 250. So 2250. Okay, that's not too bad. We had to pay to cross the bridge actually before we got to the border post. Bridge crossing was 5000 CFA, which I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's around 10 euro as well. And then on the other side, the passport process was super painless, super easy. Just gave the passports, they gave us the stamp. They asked us for a COVID pass and my driver's license and the vehicle documents. After the passports, which is free, we had to get the passavon, which is the temporary import permit for the bike for here in Senegal. And they only give five days at the border and it cost us about, again, 5000 CFA, so about 10 euro. And that was really easy as well. They wanted to see the motorbike and they wanted to check the vehicle documents and my driver's license and I paid 5000 CFA and they gave us the document and they said, if you want to extend it, you extend it in Dakar. So we have five days that we can be here until we reach Dakar before we have to extend. And some guys asked us about if we were going to get insurance for the country and we said we were going to get it in St. Louis because it's only about 30 kilometers away from the border. They seemed fine with that. They were like, oh, you get it in St. Louis? Okay, no problem. So it's a bit like Mauritania where we crossed the border and then we got the insurance in Nui Dibu after. So I think that'll be fine. So we're heading into town now, which is about 20 kilometers, so like 12 miles. And then we will check out what's going on there in St. Louis. So we just stopped to pick up a local SIM card and it's amazing because it already works straight away and it only cost us like two or three euro and apparently it comes with two gigabytes. It's orange. So yeah, SIM card is done and we also found a place to stay for tonight in St. Louis in the city. So we're going to head over to that place and then that'll be us done for today. I'm going to fill up fuel, eh? Yeah, I'll fill up fuel. Some plot, yeah. What's the price? The price is 890 per liter. Okay. I will have a look how much that is. Wow, it's like one euro 30. One euro 40. That's a pretty good price. What have we got? We've got 10. 10,000. Die Mil, Die Mil. Die Mil, Merci. Merci. Okay. Welcome to St. Louis. We've just arrived here in town. It's about four miles to our accommodation for tonight and I think we have to cross a couple of bridges over a river and just look at this place. It just looks incredible. The green of the plants, the color of the buildings, the color of the dresses. It just feels like there's a lot of life here. It's beautiful. It's really beautiful to see. Just look at all these trees and palms and plants. It's amazing the difference, amazing. So we remember that we still had some pasta and some eggs left in our food bag. So actually we're not going to get any food out tonight. We're just going to go to the accommodation and get some pasta. Look how many goats there are. Oh my God. It's like a goat market. Whoa. And look at all these male goats with this like big bump on their nose and huge balls. Whoa. Hello. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of goats here. I think coming up this is the Senegal River, hey? Wow, look at this. Oh yeah, that's a lot of water and there's like a little beach and loads of kids swimming. Oh, magical. Look at that. Cool. Look at this bridge coming up. So this is the bridge that's going to cross us over into the other part of the city. Oh wow, look at these birds of prey. I've never seen so many. Like, I think they're kites or, well, I'm not very good, but kites, buzzards, kestrels, anybody know, let me know. But wow, that's a lot of birds of prey. Whoa, yeah. It's a busy place. Unfortunately at this point, my GoPro ran out of battery. But after crossing the Fade Herb Bridge, which was built in 1897 by the way, we found ourselves at the heart of St. Louis, the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best preserved examples of colonial French architecture in all of West Africa. Another bridge crossing took us over to the local part of town, where we were amazed by the beautiful chaos of the streets. Starting our day in the middle of the desert, we couldn't quite believe the abundance of colours, sounds and smells. Countless, colourful fishing boats were lined up along the river, all hand-painted in beautiful patterns. The road seemed to go on forever, but we finally found ourselves in front of our last challenge of the day. Turns out, the accommodation we had booked for the night, called Eden Beach, was, true to its name, actually built on a beach. So unfortunately, with the sun setting fast, Lavi had to walk the last few hundred metres, as I struggled to keep Bumblebee upright through the deep sand. A few hundred sandy wheel spins later, we finally found ourselves in front of our accommodation. All that remained was a last sandy slope to reach the entrance at the back of the building. The local kids found all of this very entertaining. Eventually, a man offered us his help, and together we finally got it up and over the last sandy slope to the beach front, where we could finally give ourselves and Bumblebee a well-deserved rest. Evening, guys! We made it! Happy and alive! Exhausted! Absolutely, we wanted to do our evening vlog before the sunset, but we ate some pasta, and then we were just lying in bed, and we were just so shattered from this massive day today. What a day! From the wakashot in the morning, and then a huge lot of desert in between, and then arriving at the Dualing National Park, and going on this dirt road for absolutely what felt like ages, and falling off in the morning and falling off in the park, seeing war-togs and monkeys, which was incredible. So ups and downs, then the border, then coming into this crazy, crazy city here, St. Louis. And the heat was just killing me. Like... I'm very, very exhausted, but I'm very happy to be here in Senegal. It was a massive change immediately, and it's just so nice to see all these life and colours and trees and birds, and it's so, so nice. Yeah, St. Louis seems like a really, really cool place. A new chapter, a new country, country number six, and yeah, it's just absolutely awesome to be here. So that's it from us today. At the end, we did about 170 miles, which is about 280 kilometres.
