 There's definitely some bits of metal. Something's grinding away. Something's not right in there for sure. Oh, wow. No bueno, eh? No bueno. Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 364 on our circumnavigation around the globe. My motorcycle, I think Bumblebee is behind us. We're here in the town of El Zamorano in Honduras. Last night we camped here at this fake campsite. So the owner is actually building at the moment like a big hotel. But it's not finished yet and we rocked up at his place and asked him if we can pitch up the tent and he's like, yeah, yeah, no worries. And yes, we are in the middle here of all his construction buildings. Yeah, we'll have a bit of a walk around before we leave here to show you guys what he's built and what he's building. But today we are going to be making our way north. I don't have a map of Honduras just yet, but I can tell you guys that first we are heading through the Honduran capital, Tegucil Calpe. And then we're going to be making our way from there up to the north coast to the Caribbean coast to a place called Tela, which is supposed to be super beautiful with beaches and it's the Caribbean. And it would be like a really, really cool experience just to swim in the Caribbean Sea. I can't wait for that. So we're just having our coffees this morning. The only breakfast that we've got with us is a pack of cookies. We've kind of run out of everything else. So we definitely have to get some food supplies today. But there's also a dog who sort of perched himself in front of us and we're trying to like quietly eat the cookies. So he doesn't notice because every time I like rustle the packet, he sort of looks over like because you kind of have cookies because they're chocolate. So sorry, dude. Sorry, dude. Anyway, he was barking the whole night. So naughty boy. The navigation says it will take us six hours to arrive in Tela. It's already 6.30 and we still have to pick up everything. So better hit the road. Let's go. So Bumblebee is mostly packed up and we're going to have a little walk around this place. This guy's property is massive. The first thing that he built, he told us in the nineties was this place, which is called Casa Estrella or the star house. And the whole thing is like built on this elevated columns and it's actually in the shape of a giant star. So actually the room here upstairs is just one huge star room. It's absolutely crazy. And he's got like this whole underneath bit. We asked him like, what is this giant space for? And he's just like, oh, parties, meetings, whatever. And he's got like a bit of a forest over here. So we're going to go have a look at the whole walkway here. We couldn't see this yesterday when we arrived because it was already dark. But he told us like, yeah, tomorrow, make sure you have a walk around, check out the place. Because I think he's really proud of everything he's made here. So here is like the, it's like the newest bit that he's building. And this is just a crazy construction. Look at this. It's huge. I mean, this is like a resort that he's building. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. We just walked around the forest bit here. Yes, very nice. In your future, it's more water. Okay. At the boat. Uh-huh. At the fish. Yes. Oh. Wow. This one is finished. When do you want to like open this one? Especially this year. This year. Okay, okay. This is possible. And this is the bathroom. Wow. Whoa, look at this. I am a lawyer. The first profession. Okay. The first and second is nutritionist. Nutritionist. Yeah, I'm notary. And notary and builder. Atrium with nice views. The mountains all around here. Look at this. Wow. Diagon. Diagon. Yeah. For small business. Okay, so business will rent. Yeah. Rent this area. The bedroom. Yep. Beautiful. With a nice view. So this will be like the hotel part? People. Yeah. Yeah, from here, you can really see everything, hey? Cacalutape. Cacalutape. Here, this one. And this other one. Cerro is from Uyukha. Uyukha. Uyukha. For the world. For the community. Your water comes from that mountain. Yeah. Uyukha. Uyukha. So at the moment, we try to figure out where the noises we heard yesterday coming from. And so far, we can actually see here that this rubber thing is not aligned anymore. So we pushed it in a little bit. But you can see here that it's coming out here on this side. So we don't really know how good or how bad that is. Or if this is like a quick fix. Or if this can damage something. So actually the host here, he called a friend. And we sent now some pictures to them. And they will tell us how bad it is. Or if we have to look for a garage ASAP. Hey, guys. Exciting news. We finally got our very first sponsor. Yay.

You have a really, really cool place here. I hope we can come back one day. Okay, exit. Thank you so much, yeah? Thank you. See you. Oh yeah, I forgot that we had this crazy road to get out. Oh my God. Yes. Nasserie has a super cool place there, but the road to get to it is absolutely, I mean, it needs a bit of work, let's say. Yeah, it's a little bit of a challenge, definitely. Wow, what an incredible place. A really cool find there, actually, because he wasn't even like a campsite. He was, like, not really open for business. Hold on. I was going around here. Okay. But he was just like, yeah, sure, you can pitch a tent here, no problem. But when that place is, like, finished, that giant hotel crazy complex that he's building, it's going to be a crazy, crazy place. Absolutely. It's going to be a luxury five-star paradise. Yeah, dream place. Yeah, it's a big project going on, definitely. And he's a really nice and kind guy, like, so kind and so friendly. Yeah, I didn't mention that, actually, his friend came back to him after we sent pictures over to him and said, like, oh, what's going on here? And he actually told us that that part, which is sort of coming out, some of you guys watching might know already, but apparently it's like a gasket to basically keep dust and dirt from going into the wheel. So it's not like a mechanically important part. So it shouldn't really cause us a problem. It's just like the rubber is just sort of coming out. So I might try and push it back in later. But this time yesterday was still quite scary. Yeah, and, you know, we've rooted to a Suzuki shop and garage in the capital, Tegelse Kalpa. So we just want to have a double check with them and just show them as well today. If they're open, it is a Saturday. So we'll see. And it's a public holiday this weekend. But yeah, if they're open, we'll show them as well just to make sure that it isn't really anything crazy going on. Nothing that's going to cause us a bigger problem in the future. The roads are ponderous, eh? Not very well maintained. A little bit on the bumpy sides. But hey, you have really beautiful views from here. There's no reason for you to ride fast anyway. But you can see as well, like our host told us that there is a lot of wildfires going on at the moment and you can see like this hazy view or this hazy stuff in the air. Yeah, it does look really dry here. I think the rainy season is coming in like one month or so. So yeah, it's a pretty dry time at the moment. We couldn't resist stopping for breakfast on our way to Tegelse Kalpa and we got a traditional breakfast here. Look at this. We've got some plantain, some beans and rice, egg, cheese, tortilla, this onion as well. Oh my God. Not bad, not bad. And this costs 71 Lempira, which is about three US dollars. So it's not a bad price for a wonderful breakfast. And some really nice sweet coffee as well. Very sweet, very tasty. Gracias. I put like everything in the tortilla. You get two tortillas actually. And look at that, that's just like, it's just crazy. So it looks like we're just coming into the outskirts of the capital of Honduras, Tegelse Kalpa. By the way, I think that's how you pronounce it, but I could be totally wrong. We're only five minutes from the Suzuki garage that we're gonna try and check out. Yamaha, look, they are all closed. Yeah, here's Suzuki right here. Yeah. They do look completely closed. Completely closed. There's actually a fella there, but I think it's just a security. I'll go and ask. Hola. Abierto hoy. No, oh, at the moment. Lunes. Okay, gracias. What day is today? Saturday. Well, that's not too great, is it? It could just be like it hitting on the inside. So we've decided that there's actually more Suzuki garages in San Pedro Sula, which is on the north coast. So we decided just to continue for today. This is about five hours' riding to get over there, but if we start hearing some crazy noises again, then we'll probably, we'll have to stop again, but we'll see. But yeah, we just can't afford to stay here for two days, waiting for them to open. Anyway, we've got no reason to believe at the moment that this is gonna cause any bigger issues. So yeah, let's see how it goes. Anyway, whilst we're riding through the capital city of Honduras, uncertain if our rear wheel is gonna fall off or something, I prepared some little facts about the capital city of Honduras, Tegucigalpa. So this city has a population of 1.2 million people, and it became the capital of Honduras in 1880, and it's actually a twin city. So it has a sister city called Comaguela, and the two cities are just separated by a river, but effectively they are just one giant city. The name Tegucigalpa is from the Nahuatl language, and it means Hills of Silver, or that's the interpretation that historians have, but they're not 100% sure about it because some people argued that, well, the local people didn't know that there was Hills of Silver here. So they're not 100% sure, but that's like the most accepted reason behind the name. The two cities Tegucigalpa and Comaguela lie in a big valley area. This is probably a pretty good day to ride through the city as well because it is a holiday weekend and it's really not too busy. So it's a pretty nice capital city to go through. Yes, luckily today, a pretty smooth ride, similar to the ride we had in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. Look at this, streets empty. Amazing. Oh, look at that. Wow. Literally, no one was on the road. So it's pretty cool if you can experience some big cities on a public holiday because they're not so busy to stroll in the park. Stroll in the park. So anyway, we've got just under five hours to reach the North Coast. So yeah, fingers crossed. Oh, it was breaking so hard. The town is called Tela and it's supposed to have some really beautiful beaches and there's actually a beach camp that we found on Ioverlander. So if that works out, we should be camping just next to the beach tonight. Amazing. So we're just stopping here at a petrol station and we just had a little look and there's definitely some bits of metal coming out from inside this bit here. Something's grinding away, so I don't know what that is but yeah, definitely got a bigger problem than just the rubber because something's not right in there for sure. I mean, look at this metal. We are currently three hours from Tela still. So still a little way to go. One hour later. So actually we had one guy here and he saw us like looking at the bike and being like a little bit concerned. So he recommended us to actually ask here at actually an auto repair shop if they can have a look at it and check it out because it's a little bit more concerning probably than we thought. And the mechanic here said yes and now he's like just looking at it and seeing how bad it is. So let's find out, hey. Don't really want to take too much risk. Now we can see what part's broken. It's really on your mind. Wow. Oh, no bueno, eh? No bueno. Val, Valinera. Valinera. You can see all the little balls are totally broken. Ah, okay. So normalmente mass, no? Is it total? Ah, okay. Wow. So do we just need to replace this bolt here or what? I'm not sure. I'm going to ask. Yeah, wow, look at that. It's missing. Saying that we definitely shouldn't ride to San Pedro Sula, which is another 100 kilometers away. He said we could probably ride it to the nearest town. Okay, so now is it basically take this part into the nearest town and basically see if you can find a shop that's open, selling spare parts, because it might be something that we could just get, bring back to him and if we can find a new one, he'll install it for us. Nothing is really open. So yeah, fingers crossed and see that there's any shop open who can help us. I found this one place here and we will just see if they have a spare part. Please, please, please. They have a bunch of tires here, a lot of motorbike tires. Yeah? It's a Valinera. Valinera para Suzuki Vistron. Three different shapes there are. It's like every single motorcycle part is just unique to that one motorcycle. And then when they build a new one, they're just like, let's design everything again. But our taxi driver, he's helping us actually now, which is really nice. No success. We've gone around the town and either everywhere's closed or we've tried a couple of places and they just don't have this specific part. So we're gonna go back over to the mechanic and see if he can put everything back together and then we're gonna ride it nice and slow, nice and easy back into town. And basically we're gonna have to wait two days here until Monday, but it doesn't look like we're going anywhere today. Okay. Okay, so three hours later, we are finally leaving the petrol station and Bumblebee is still rideable, but we've got to take it super easy. So we're heading now to a hotel which is only five minutes away because we really don't want to ride very far. And yeah, that'll be pretty much it for today. We won't get any further. We've traveled 98 miles today. Didn't get to Tella and the Caribbean coast and our lovely beach camp. Yeah, I'm really sad. Yeah, it's really the worst time for things to go wrong, but you know, that's life. We can't really change anything, so. Yeah, let's just hope we can get our problem solved on Monday. Here we go. This is our home for the night, Hotel Zari. Sulugar Ideal Para Discancer. Your ideal place for discancering. Cool.
