 This lens all right I think it's all right Thank you very much Bye bye doggie. I think we're just gonna ride straight to then. We just see the curb. I think the curb is okay three two one Okey doggie Sorry doggie Suspension broken Ready to rock and roll totally okay Okay Good morning world welcome back to our Guinness World Record attempt to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle We're here on the outskirts of Istanbul and today is a monumental day Because we are about to head into the EU leaving Turkey today Yeah, can you believe it? I can't actually Turkey was a massive country in the end. Wow, we spent quite a lot of time here Yeah, we saw a lot of cool stuff, but it's time to go to Europe. It's time to cross the border into Bulgaria So let me show you guys our route for today So we are here just northwest of Istanbul and today we're going to be taking this road past the city of Edirne and over the border into Bulgaria So our intended first destination in Europe was actually Greece But after looking on I overlander at the border the comments were saying a lot of things like oh It was difficult to get the insurance Oh, they turned us away because we didn't have EU insurance like the green card and all of this kind of stuff And then I read the comments for the Bulgarian border and it was like oh, yeah You just go over the border There's loads of booths just after the border and you could buy yourself like a three month EU cover no problem So it just seems like Bulgaria is a little bit easier to get our European insurance for bumblebee So we decided that we're gonna go to the border to Bulgaria first and then tomorrow we are gonna cross into Greece But for now, it's about two and a half hours to the border and it's already 10 30 years so better hit the road. Let's go put our petrol But at the same time we wanted to say goodbye to the Turkish Oh, yes, so this one is filled with spinach and I got us one each. Oh, yes I got us one filled with potatoes and One filled with cheese the Turkish roadside snack game is on point And we haven't even made it 10 miles yet All right a hundred miles down And we still got another 45 to get to the border and it's all just this big long highway with a lot of trucks heading the same way But we just noticed that our brake fluid reservoir is leaking You guys don't know if you guys can see but it's pretty wet. You come around here. Oh Yeah, you can definitely see here. All of this is leaking out There's like a gauge here at the side and it's got like a lower limit where it should be actually The fluid is pretty much lower than the lower limit and we just had this changed in Antalya, so Perhaps it wasn't tightened up enough. I don't know you see I mean I can do like a Couple of turns on that a little bit I think we'll have to get it topped up tighten it up again really tight and then see whether or not it still leaks Anyway, we're having a little break here and then one more shot to the border No way of these fumes just coming from a truck Wow What's going on? No, there is definitely definitely something wrong there. Yeah. Yeah, he's stopping. Yeah Yeah, that's some black fumes coming out of that truck. Wow All right, it looks like we're arriving here at the Bulgarian border. Yeah, it looks like it I hope it won't be too busy We were here Yeah, I saw some comments from people that it took around two hours for them to get through But I don't know to be honest It doesn't look very busy at the moment at the moment. It doesn't look busy. It's hope for the best Capicule is the name of the border. Yeah, the question as well if I have to walk or if I can just Be with you. You're coming home. They're at EU citizen. Haha. Okay going passenger. Ah, maybe I have to be a personnel Okay visitor and personnel. Well, we're not visitor and personnel. Okay, so let's see what they do here. Okay Nothing This is like our last major border. Yeah, it looks like it. Hey, yeah, because once we get through here It's all EU. I don't know about Albania But at least most of it is going to be all EU until we get to the UK So I think this is like literally it. We just wait in line. Okay. Let's see if this one is shorter or this line here Hey, you're you're obsessed with getting like one car ahead. Hey, I'm a German one two three four five one two Three four five counting. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Are you satisfied? Oh, oh, this has gone down by one. Okay. Okay. No, no Yeah, yeah, we're getting one down here. Look at this Oh So we ask him if he has a spare sticker they have them already attached to their number plate now You can see because we're not sure for the EU but you can see the the British car in front has got a GB On the number plate and our number plate Has nothing on because when we went through Russia, we took it off. So actually, we don't have a sticker So I don't know what they're going to say about that Here you go. Thank you. Bye. Bye Registration, okay Yes, that's right Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye So there we go that was super easy on the Turkish side Wow, you can't believe it and you don't want we didn't get any fines No, because I was scared Mark from Mark's Travels said they had to pay fines when they exited Turkey because they were traveling with the motorbike and the car and the car had like loads of fines Yeah, like speeding tickets. Yes, but no apparently we didn't get any speeding tickets. No, nothing. That's pretty good Man, that's incredible. Look the EU flag over there There we go. We are very close now. So Turkey done and that was literally okay That actually was the fastest border crossing we've ever done. That was the fastest out wasn't it? That was literally passport stamp stamp. They put the number plate in the system checked. No fines. Nothing. Okay, good to go Incredible man. Turkey you're so advanced Exactly because of their like electronic system of everything they just put in the system done Wow incredible. So yeah, that's one half done. Now we've got to see how long it's going to take to get into Bulgaria and into the EU Yes, I'm excited Hello Can you see? Yeah, I think he can see Thank you. Bye bye I think this was the last check maybe Okay, so that was them just double checking. Yeah, I don't know exactly Oh, maybe here's another double checking. Whatever. I don't know. We seem to have quite a few checks. I don't know what they're for Never know. Hey, it's going for geria. Yeah, I think this is Bulgarian border, please. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Thank you Oh, you look friendly. There you go To go to the left. Yeah Shortest shortest shortest shortest Everyone is going. Just us is not going Look, there's a check Biker with a BMW Okay, all passports a few moments later So the Bulgarian side was just as easy as the Turkish side literally Again, just stamped the passport And we just waved just straight through that was it. So now we're just looking to see Where we can find insurance Apparently there's supposed to be An EU insurance somewhere around here And we also have to get our vignette Which is like the toll for Bulgarian roads So basically any road in Bulgaria that you drive We have to have like a pass to drive on them So we'll buy our vignette here and then we'll see if we can find some insurance Oh, okay. Okay. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Oh, that's so chill So chill, man. Wow Ah Sigurta Oh Do you think that was the place? Look Sigurta as well over there. Oh, okay. Sigurta is insurance. Okay. Okay Customs agency Sigurta here This is insurance. Yeah, check it out They're just checking the price for us for three months green card cover EU Forty months. Sixty one euro. Very good. That's good. Okay I like it. Thank you. That sounds sounds good So they don't take card here So now we have to go and try and find an ATM to give us some Bulgarian Leyva. So Let's go that way try and find some cash 20 minutes later So this is what 10 Leyva looks like It's got like a telescope This side some guy And a rhino Maybe a rhino and a whale insurance done That was really easy took about 10 minutes and it was 61 euro 120 Leyva for three months of coverage. We should cover us all the way until we get to Well, until we take the ferry from Calais. They also told us that motorcycles don't need to buy a vignette for Bulgaria So basically we're good to go. We're good to go Free sailing I think it's time for a celebratory bread and cheese. Yes Sandwich time so far so good Oh Alrighty That's it. Now we can finally say that we are hitting the streets of the EU That's so beautiful. What a nice day. Hey, yeah, and that was surprisingly easy The comments were that it was just much much easier than going through Greece and it was Super quick to get through the border super quick to get through customs and then getting the insurance Cheap and easy. I mean 61 euro for three months covering the EU. That's an amazing price UK insurance would I think was costing us like more than a hundred pounds a month I think for this one month when we started the trip we paid 240 pounds. Yeah, absolutely crazy Yes, so yeah, if you want insurance for the EU come to Bulgaria Yeah So anyway, we are now heading to the next town Which is called Hascoval and there we're going to go to a motorcycle garage that could hopefully Help us top up this brake fluid because we desperately need brake fluid. I can hardly see anything in here Everything is wet around there, but it doesn't look like that. Anything is inside anymore in the next town We saw on iOverlander A garage or a place that sells motorcycle stuff. So hopefully they'll have brake fluid for us.
