 Oh my god, the bike completely slid. I think there's petrol or some sort of oil on the road here. Hi, I'm Lavi. And I'm Oli. And this is our hero, Bumblebee. Together, we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three here in South America. Packing up, packing up. Gotta take this down to the bike. Goodbye, awesome room for 15 pounds. Voila. There she is, Bumblebee. Oh no, did I just squish my foot through that? Yeah, you did. Did I? Yeah. No, I just put my foot in dog poo. It's your fault. Wasn't there like a saying that it means luck? Good luck? No, I'm just going to rub my foot against this ground now just to see if I can get some of it off. Good start of the day. Rub your foot in dog poo. Yes. Free? Free. New country, new rules. Always exciting on the first ride in a new country on the roads. Yeah, definitely. Good morning, world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 318 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. Hello, Bumblebee. We're here in the busy center of Tacna in Peru. Our first town in Peru. Yes. We got here last night pretty much in the dark. And now we're on a mission. Exactly, on a mission to get a SIM card. And we get the SIM card, hopefully, from the shop just here, Clado. Yeah, Clado is the same company we have in Argentina and Chile. So it's a really big mobile phone operator. But this is just our first mission in town. But we have bigger plans for Peru. So let me show you guys where we're heading. So it's awesome because in La Paz, we've got this super cool vintage map of Peru, which I'm super happy about. And we are all the way down here at the beginning. So our first mission here in Peru is to get to Canyon del Colca, Colca Canyon. So to get there, we are going to be heading up through Mokigua and at a keeper to reach Shive, where we can go across to Cabaconde. So we probably can't reach all the way there today because it's pretty far. But the plan is basically just to get as far as we can. Also, we do have to consider that there is a lot of political protests and political instability here in Peru. Now, most of that was a little bit earlier in the year. But we still have to be careful that there might be roadblocks, there might be protests. We may have to do more detours, like the 1,000-mile detour that we're on at the moment. Yes, exactly. So we'll have to see what we encounter, basically. Yes. So I'm going to see if I can get ourselves a SIM card so that we can do our navigation and do everything we need to do. Exactly. So let's make that happen. Yes. Yes. Searching dogs. We are online. Woo! So it cost us around five pounds for three gigabytes for 20 days. And that is the most you're allowed to buy in one go. Three gigabytes. It's like one evening. Yeah. So basically every time you use a three gig, you have to then come to a store, pay another five pounds, and then you get another three gig for 20 days. OK. So we have to be quite resourceful. Indeed. Now it's 12.20, ready to hit the road. Let's go. Hola. Oh, no. This person is not actually a car. Oh, no. OK. OK, we have to wait a second. We want to leave. Oh, no. I chose the lane that wasn't a lane. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, hey? He's letting us. People are so friendly here. I like it. It's time to get out of Takna. Let's get back into the mountains. Yeah, because it's absolutely boiling hot here at the moment. It's 33 degrees. The bike is registering. And we are not moving very fast. Yeah. You really can't believe it. Like we went from like 7 degrees to 33 degrees in no time. Yeah. We were at altitude for many weeks in Bolivia, hey? And now we're back at sea level. Exactly. Oh, it's a shock. And it's quite funny because you always feel a little bit weird, hey? If you go from altitude back to sea level, you think, can my body handle that? Yeah, my body is like, what is going on here? First, I couldn't breathe. And now we are boiling. But off. Yeah, it's really funny. Anyway, guys, we will battle our way here through the town. And we will catch you probably after when we have some really nice mountain views. Mountain views. Saint-Denis. Wow, it's crazy. When you're inside the town, you kind of forget that you're literally in the middle of the desert with just giant sand dunes around. Wow. Absolutely. Wow. Look at that. We just go across one valley from where we were. And now look where we are. Wow. You would not imagine that there is a town just on the other side here, would you? Yeah, I mean, it's like, again, like a whole oasis on the other side, you know? There were some trees and some grass areas. It just looked like a regular town with parks and gardens. It was actually quite a nice town, Takya. Look here, you can't imagine that people can live here. That's so cool, man. That's crazy. Wow, we are really, really out in the sandy desert now. Look at this. There is just sand sweeping across the road. And we've got a huge wind coming in from the coast. Yeah, it's so super crazy. This literally feels like we're back in the Sahara, hey? Yeah, totally. I mean, I thought like we'd get a nice, quiet, relaxed ride, but it's super windy. It's super crazy. Yeah, I had no idea the crew was such a desert. Wow, it's insane. Look, they cut the sand dune in half. They're basically going to ride through a sand dune. Whee! Wow, look at that. Oh, wow. That is one straight road ahead. Look at that. And some super huge sand dunes. And I thought that the Sahara had sand dunes. But no, really, Peru has sand dunes. Massive sand dunes. Wow. Such a sandy place. Wow. But it looks like that these are as well canyons, like sandy canyons. It just feels so untouched here, hey? I mean, OK, there's this nice tarmac road here. But otherwise, it feels so big. Crazy road. Really crazy road. Just fuel up in Peru. Oh, now I'm not going to hurt you, doggy. Hola, hola, buenas. Hola. Let's have a look here. So, gasolina. Tengo de vento? No, vento no vento. Yeah? Yeah. OK. 90 octane. Yeah. OK. Let's give it a go. Cheno, gracias. It's definitely not diesel. Hey, no, it's not diesel. Every time I come to a petrol station for the first time in a new country, I'm always like, is that diesel? Scarete, yeah. Yeah, because it's always a different name, right? Yeah. It's always a different name. Every country, they're like. Gasolo. Here it's called gasol. Gasol. Gasol. So yeah, 90 octane. Do you think that's the lowest octane we've ever filled up with? No, I think we had lower than that. You think we had 89? I think so. Anyway, it's going to mix with the half tank of 95 now, and then we'll have like 92.5 octane. That's fine. That should be all right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let's see how much this costs. I think it's in gallons, hey? Ah, yeah. Because I was like two liters. No, no, two gallons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is 55, yeah? 55. OK. 5, 5, 5. Yeah. Thank you very much. 5 and... It's from 2020. Oh, thank you very much. Perfect. England, Germany. Yes. All of Peru and all of America are salt. Yes, exactly. Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Hasta luego. Ciao, ciao. The nicest petrol station attended in the world or what? He was so cute. Oh, nice. OK, filled up. That's good. So, yes, how much did it cost? 55. So 55 soles, soles. How much is that? 11.80. 11 pound 80. Yeah. That was about a half tank, I think. It's difficult to see because it was like 2.8 gallons. So I have no idea in liters what that is. So it's really difficult to know the price. Yeah, it's super funny that they have gallon here instead of liters. But if you think a half tank for about 12 pounds, that means a full tank for 24. I think that's pretty good. It's better than Chile anyway, but I'm not sure it's as good as Bolivia and certainly not as good as Argentina. No. It's pretty crazy, but up here on the mountain, there's actually an advert for Claro. It says, Yo soy Claro. Y tú? It's like, I am Claro, are you? Well, we are Claro. Actually, we are Claro. Claro, I just want to put it on record. I do not support you to facing mountains in this region, OK? Chano! Throw the same dunes. Nice. And can you believe it? Between all this sand, we're just reaching another oasis. It's like, it's incredible. So from somewhere, they have rivers going through here and then you can see there's life. Yeah, it's incredible. The whole day has just been desert, oasis, desert, oasis. Yeah, I would love to live in oasis. It's so lush. I mean, everything looks more green, you know? Yeah, yeah. There's something about the starkness of this side that just makes this one just look so much more lush, eh? Yes. Beautiful. And look down here, you've got like banana trees and they've got crops growing and trees. Here is life happening, for sure. I think that's a mango tree. Oh. So, Araquipa at the moment, 74 miles. 74 miles. Two hours. Two hours, okay. That puts us 15 minutes after sunset. Yeah. Okay, I think we can make it. Oh my God, we were so close to fall off at like 50 miles an hour, like the bike completely slid. I think there's petrol or some sort of oil on the road here. We were just coming around this corner and then the back wheel just completely went out and then I heard like a metal scraping, which I think may have been the foot peg or even the bar here and it scraped against the ground and then we basically righted ourself and then I hard-braked and we didn't slide off. Whoo. I want to see what's on the road there. It's a gasolina. Oh no. You can see here this like slick line in the middle of the road. That's exactly what we hit. It must be like petrol or diesel or something and it's like right in the middle of the road exactly where we are. And then the back wheel just, whew. Wow. Wow, that nearly killed us. That's insane. It's super, super slippery. Oh my God, that's so dangerous. That's insane. And for the cars, it's all right because it's like right in the middle of the road. So their tires are like on either side, but for us, it was like exactly where we were. Yeah, it was like sliding on ice at 50. Well, maybe it's time for a break then, hey. That was a big, big shock. A big shock. So we have decided that we take it easy now that we will have a break. We will have some bread. We will just relax a little bit because there was hectic and then we will probably ride for another hour. And I think there's a petrol station where we will ask to pitch up our tent. Yeah, because racing to Arrakepa before sunset is definitely no longer an option. So we've just added that place on Ioverland as a warning to other motorcyclists. And I can assure you that we are gonna take these bends very, very nice and easy from now on because that could have ended really badly. So we've arrived in the town of Estacion San Jose and we saw on Google Maps actually that there are a couple of hotels in this town, but we don't know the prices. So we will ride to the first one and just ask and find out the price and see if we can afford it. It's coming up in 0.3 on the left side. No luck. No luck. No, they didn't, you hadn't heard of it? No. Should we try for number two? Yeah. From the shop, some yoghurt and some mangoes. So, let's start. So we found the place and they are preparing at the moment a vegetarian dish for us or just rice, vegetables and they brought us a tea as well which is a really nice thing. Wait a minute. What is it? What is it called? Potato, no? Potato. Potato? That's a really nice tea. It's like a sweet green tea maybe with some ginger or something as the rice salad. Cucumber, tomato, lettuce. It's good. I really forgot to say, we made it, happy and alive. But this time I can really say happy and alive because it was so close. It was the really closest call we ever had. We never slid with a bike like that. It was so scary really, oh my God. I'm so glad that everything worked out. Luckily, it wasn't like a whole pool of diesel or oil or whatever it was because then we would have just slid straight across to the other side of the road and into the cliff was really close. If there was oncoming traffic at that time, I don't know. Afterwards, the ride wasn't that comfortable anymore because all the time when we saw like a, some shininess on the road or something, we were thinking like, oh my God. So we were taking the corners super slow now and yeah. Yeah, pretty hectic. But anyway, I'm really glad that we found this room here. It was a little bit of a mission actually. I didn't expect it to be so difficult, but. Yeah, we went to like one hotel, but they said like that they weren't operating and then they said, go to this one. But then the street was like totally blocked off. So then we were going around asking and eventually we saw this sign for hospitality and knocked on the door and luckily this one was okay. It was just 35 sold, which is about 750 pounds. Really cool price. And that's it from us today. We hope you enjoyed the video.
