 Oh my God, I thought he had already the worst wind in the world, but no, this one here is the worst. 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 3 here in South America. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 267 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the small town of El Calafate in Argentina, and we're staying in this little cabin where we've been for the past six days, I think, trying to catch up with some editing. Yes, and unfortunately we still feel a little bit sick. We really try to recover and try to get healthy as much as we can, but it's not 100%, but we are ready to hit the road. And it's really crazy because this here is our rent for two days. I mean, I want to throw it in the air. I don't do it, but it's pretty crazy, hey? But let me show you guys where we're heading today. So we are here, and today we are going to be making our way across to Glacia Perito Moreno before coming back through El Calafate and up this road round to El Chalten. Yesterday we are heading to the star of this region. The whole reason that El Calafate is such a popular tourist town, it is for this glacier, Perito Moreno. I really can't wait to see it, and it's already nine o'clock, so better hit the road. Let's go. Look, here's our little cabin. That was actually really nice. Yeah, I mean, you don't really need more than that. Oh, hold on. Oh, damn it. The battery again. Hold on. Sorry. Please just start this time. Come on. Otherwise, we have to turn it around and push you down the hill. Come on. You can hear it clicking, and if you go to the battery voltage, 11. I think it will start. Just give it a minute. Okay. So stand is definitely up. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Put it in neutral, perhaps. Okay. Oh, come on. Yes. Yes. That's strange, because it looked like it was something to do with the first gear, but you know, I have to stand up the whole time, so. Oh, man. Yeah. I think when you leave it for five days or six days like that, you know, without starting it, it can be a little bit dodgy. Heart attack in the morning. I was excited to try out our first jump start. Me not. So it's about 50 miles to the glacier now, but it should be a quite nice ride, because we will have a nice view of the Lake Argentino. Hopefully, let's see. And then hopefully a nice view of the glacier. Yes. Back on the bike. What a view in the morning. Hey, I just really love the colors. The colors of the lake is really light, bright blue. Looks incredible. Yeah, stunning, stunning landscape. And look at these rock formations and this rocky cliff here. So we're just coming up to the entrance of the National Park. UNESCO World Heritage Site National Park. Cooler. Because this glacier is inside a national park called Park Nacional Los Glaciarres. So like basically the Glacier National Park. Gracias. Going in. Woo. So we actually read online that it was 8,000 pesos for two tickets. So there's like 20 pounds a ticket. But when we got to the entrance, apparently they've actually just increased their prices. So it was five and a half thousand pesos per person, which is about 27 pounds per person. Wow. So yeah, in total it cost us over 50 pounds to get in this national park. Yeah, it's not a cheap trip if you want to go around and see all these natural wonders. But you know, you've got to do it. Oh, it's getting exciting now. The glacier is just on the other side of this headland here. So we should be getting some glacier views soon. Glacier, glacier, glacier, glacier. Yeah, it's a pretty cool ride here as well, just along the lake. Yeah, and I looked on the map and actually this is the same lake as on the other side of the headland. So it actually wraps around this bit of land. And the entire lake is basically the meltwater of this massive glacier that we're about to see. Wow. So there's a lot of water going on here. And did you know that 95% of all the earth's fresh water is actually frozen? Some info in the morning. Oh, wow. There you go. Look at this. Wow. And it's so blue. Whoa, there we go. Oh, that's bright. That's crazy. The rest of it is very dark and gray, but the glacier is just like insane. Wow. Awesome. Let's ride a little bit closer, shall we? Wow. I never saw a glacier like that. Never ever. It's so big. That's crazy. It's so impressive. Oh, we're coming up close now. Look at this. Wow. Nice. Wow, it looks unreal. Hola, buenas. So we were hoping to do a kayaking trip up to the front of the glacier, but we just messaged the operator on WhatsApp and they said that the weather today is not good. So actually they said that they're not running any kayak trips today. Unfortunately not. Yeah. Super cool because this guy, he just opened and we were like, are you selling boat tours today? And he's like, yes, yes. The next one is in 20 minutes. And we were like, okay, we take this one. Look at this crazy iceberg in the middle of the lake. Wow. Boat trip, boat trip, boat trip. Okay, we've had our safety briefing and now they said we can go up to the upper deck and have a look. How magical, hey, how magical. You can see all the massive, massive chunks of ice that have fallen off the glacier. But actually it's really interesting because this glacier hasn't really changed in size for like 100 years. So like most glaciers have been retreating and retreating. This one was actually advancing and it's pretty much where it was about 100 years ago. And the ice here is actually flowing down from up on the Patagonia ice field, which is up in the mountains. And it's flowing at around two meters a day. It's insane. This glacier is massive. So at the front of the glacier here, the height ranges from around 70 meters to 40 meters. So I think the bit right in front of us here is 70 meters high. That's a huge, huge wall of ice. But further up in the Patagonia ice field, the glacier is apparently something like 700 meters deep, which is just a lot of ice. Wow, when you see the boats in front of the glacier, like another tourist boat, you can really see like how massive this thing is. It's really hard to get a sense of perspective, but I mean, it is huge. Bye bye, most beautiful glacier in the world. What an incredible experience, hey? The best, absolutely the best. I think that's a really good way to see the glacier. There are trails you can do, hiking trails and see the glacier from the land here. But I mean, you can't get much better than getting on a boat and getting up close and personal to it. That's incredible. Yes, I think so too. So now we're going to make our way back over to El Calafate. We're going to grab some empanadas in town and then we'll hit the road north. Conno, the empanada place is closed. We'll have to find another option for lunch. Yes, we found a solution for lunch. It's not empanadas, but it is a nice vegetarian burger and fries, so that'll do. That was such a nice veggie burger, good on your YPF petrol station. Yeah, when you can't find something in town, you can always rely on going to a petrol station. So the bike is fuelled up, we're all fuelled up and now we have 130 miles to ride basically around Lake Argentino and over to El Chalten. Yes, I'm super excited. I checked some rooms on Airbnb and booking.com and they are so super expensive, so it must be a very, very, very nice town. Well, as El Calafate is famous for the Perito Moreno Glacier, El Chalten is famous for Mount Fitzroy, a pretty epic peak and the town is like right next to it, so it's going to be really, really nice. Yeah, our navigation says it takes about two and a half hours. It's already 340 years. Yeah. We'll get there, we'll get there. Yes. Goodbye El Calafate. Bye-bye. It was a really nice day. You're in an epic little place with a massive glacier. Okay, it is actually bordering on dangerously windy out here. Yeah, I mean that's really not funny how windy it is. I don't know if I've ever seen the bike at this angle before on the road, like the amount of lean I have to do to push back against it is ridiculous. Wow. If we had a lighter bike I'm pretty sure we'd be just blown off the road. This one here is the worst. And I'm only going 45. Lake here, on the river. It's been very blue river. Wow. Oh, I didn't realize we're actually going over it. Cool. Look at this color. Wow, this must be the river coming out from Lake Argentino. Yes. Look at that. Wow. Oh, wow, it's amazing when you have the wind behind you. Oh, you can't even feel it anymore. Oh man, why it can't be behind all the time. Wow, look at this river. Amazing. Wow. That's so beautiful. And no wind. Jesus. Okay, this is going to be a tough 100 miles. Yeah. Yeah. And the atmosphere is hazy from all this sand, from all the dunes and everything being swept up in the air. This is like the Sahara all over again. The peaceful ride I was imagining. And that is, when we were riding the Sahara, the wind was coming from the other side. So that was wearing the, that side of our tire. And now the wind is coming from this side. It's actually wearing the opposite side of our tire. Perfect. So it worked out really well, actually. Puzzle the twisting and turning of the roads. Press the winds coming from one direction, then the next, then here, then there. Yeah. Okay. Looks fine. Yeah. Okay. Look at this place. Yeah. Is this one like a little dog or something? I don't know if it's a dog. That's definitely some human excrement in here. It's basically an abandoned toilet block, right? But people are still using it as a toilet block. There's so incredibly windy around here as well. Literally, this is the only place where you could pitch up a tent. And even here, with this kind of little wind protection, it's not really ideal. Wow. It's so windy here. Have a look over here. Pretty cool views. Okay. So after a bit of deliberation, we've decided that it is just too windy, too rocky, too exposed to camp there. And as Lavi said before, camping in El Chaltén is prohibited, like wild camping. So it looks like our only option is to go to a paid camping in town. Be careful here, Ollie. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Hold on a second. Okay. So look both ways. Yeah. Try and get straight. Hold on. Okay. Okay. It's just super windy. Yeah. Wow. That's not the easiest task. At least the paid camping in town is a little bit cheaper than the rooms in town. Apparently, we saw one on iOverlander, which is only 2000 pesos per person per night, which would only be like 10 pounds each. This is not too bad. But anyway, it's basically between that and having the windiest night of our entire lives. Wow. What a place. Yeah. Finally, coming into El Chaltén, this cute little town nestled inside these hills in the lost glacier in its national park. Wow. Awesome. Oh, wait. This is the petrol station here. This is the petrol station? Yeah. Go on there. I think so. Yeah. YPF. This is like the craziest petrol station I've ever seen. Look at this. Yeah. Totally. I hope they have some petrol here. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Ha. That is a remote petrol station. Yeah. It's like they sort of brought it here in a truck. Yeah. Hola. Hola. ¿Qué tal? Well, we were incredibly close to running out of fuel. I think the bike estimated we had less than 30. Frio. Frio. Oh, frio. Mucho. Viendo, viendo. Crazy. Loco, loco. Vendo. With the motto, pooh. We can see nothing. Muchas gracias. Muchas gracias. Okay. Wow. That was nearly the full, full tank that we just filled up then. I underestimated how much the wind would affect our mileage. Yeah. Totally. Because we filled up and then we only did 130 miles and that literally drained nearly the whole tank. Insane. Really insane. Yeah. Look at this. Wow. Beautiful. Totally beautiful. It might be windy and it might be raining, but I can appreciate this location. Okay. Yeah. Over the bridge here. Real Fitzroy. Oh, pooh. And now you sort of going to the left, roundabout and then left. Bienvenidos El Chalten. Awesome. Wow, what a town. Looks epic, man. And then in 600 feet you turn to the right. 600 feet. Yeah. You got a feet set up on there. Apparently. Okay. I've forgotten how much a feet foot is. I don't, I don't know. No. Not, apparently not here. Okay. Apparently the next one. Okay. Whoa, look at this cliff. Wow. Wow. It's absolutely crazy, man. That is an absolutely insane cliff. Apparently it's here. Like this place here. Yeah. Okay. El Padrion. Yeah. I think so. Okay. Let me check again on over all of Orlando. You don't need to because there are tents here. So yes, they have space for us here. They said we can pitch our tent somewhere around here. Perfect. So they said basically anywhere from this pole this way. So basically we were just picking this little spot here in front. You can see how many tents there are here. Look at this. Crazy. Good evening guys. We made it. Happy Nalai. And it's even windy here in the camp. Can you believe it? But look at the view in front of us. We are next to some major cliffs. Wow. Epic. Epic. What a day from a massive glacier to a windy, windy, windy road. Like the windiest ride of our lives. That was boarding on dangerous. I was being... Wow. Man, that was crazy. Yeah. I'm ready for bed. But the forecast looks better tomorrow than today. So fingers crossed we can get some nice mountain views tomorrow. So that's it from us today. We did at the end 280 miles, which is about 370 kilometers. And we hope you enjoyed the video.
