 All right, let's start the day reversing down a hill Uh oh, uh oh Uh oh Uh oh It's the bit where your feet get really far away from the ground I think that's good enough Ready to rock and roll? Good morning world Welcome back to our circumnavigation around the globe and motorcycle We're here in the city of Donghae in South Korea And today is not much of a riding day We've got only about 10 kilometers to go But it's a very exciting day Because we are heading to the ferry terminal To take the ferry over to Russia Yoo! I have been waiting for this day for such a long time Yeah, I can't believe I just said like we're about to take the ferry to Russia How crazy does that sound? Yes, it's crazy! Can you pinch me? I don't know if this is true or not Oh my god I'm just going to do a U-E here Okay Navigation says to go the other way Now I know we're not traveling very far But let me show you guys where we are and the route for today So this was our route all the way from one side of Korea to the other And we are now here on the coast And today we're going to be heading 10 kilometers further down the coast To this little area here The port of Donghae It was really a short but sweet visit here in South Korea It was really cool because our original route didn't include South Korea actually So it was like a surprising visit The original plan was just to go straight in from Canada to Vladivostok But then we found out that there weren't any air freight options into Vladivostok So the closest place you could actually air freight a motorcycle was Seoul, South Korea And then luckily there's a 24 hour ferry that takes you from here in Donghae All the way over there Yes I like ferry rides Yeah and this will be the longest ferry ride we've ever taken 24 hours solid on a ferry And yesterday I asked them if there was any entertainment or anything You know, nice performance, cinema, whatever No, no, there's nothing But they have a bed for every person and they have like pillows and blankets and stuff So I think it would be nice and comfortable Yeah, it's going to be really really interesting Yeah That's for sure Look at this guy's planting some flowers over there South Korea is really really really like on the top with decoration for towns and cities Like they have flowers everywhere Yeah, like the gardeners, they're just absolutely amazing Like it's all like a botanical garden everywhere It's amazing There must be like a contest going on or something, you know Yeah Between every village I think the gardeners really do take pride in their work Yeah So yeah, I mean we didn't get too much time here in South Korea But we did get to see one of the most spectacular palaces in the whole country We got to come to an amazing national park right through the mountains We got to eat on the floor some beautiful tofu Yes So you know in the end I'm pretty happy with our time here It was short but sweet But now the real journey begins Because once we get to Siberia, we have a long way to go Oh yes, we have a long way to go But we are on our sort of like homeland Exactly, the piece of land that's connected right? It's like once we land in Vladivostok We basically just have to ride back There is no more major shipping routes Nothing like that, it's just ride back a couple of ferries and we'll be there Exactly Unbelievable, I can't believe it I can't believe it It truly is the final leg of the journey coming up But we are going to be on a really tight time schedule in Siberia Because we applied for our Russian visa a year ago or nearly a year ago But the visa only lasts for one year But that was like the only time we could apply for it It was in between the African and South American legs But that visa is going to expire in about four to five weeks from now So we have that amount of time to cross the whole of Siberia, Mongolia and get to Kazakhstan And when we are in Kazakhstan we take a holiday Exactly So it's going to be a pretty intense month coming up With a lot of riding, I can't wait for the challenge It's going to be super awesome Yeah It's pretty crazy though because yesterday we went to the port Just to check in with customs and just prepare ourselves And know kind of the process of what we have to do today And yesterday we found out that when we got Bumblebee out of customs in Seoul at the airport Yes, Bumblebee's here Bumblebee is officially happy and alive They forgot to give us a really important thing It's like this sticker that you put on the bike And that is supposed to be the permit to actually ride Bumblebee on the roads of Korea Yesterday when we went to the customs and they said to us Okay, you just need two things to give us You need to give us the temporary import permit And you need to give us back this sticker What sticker? We didn't get any sticker So then they actually contacted the customs department at the airport And were like, guys, where's the sticker? And they were like, oh my god, we have actually still got the sticker here So in the end they actually emailed over the sticker to the customs department here at the port And then they printed it out for us and gave it to us Because they were like, guys, if you're on the road and you don't have this sticker You can't be on the road, like you're illegal And we were like, oh, we just rode across the whole of Korea We didn't even realize But anyway, they were really nice and they sorted it out for us So now we have everything we need to clear customs on the export process Yes, our contact here from the port His name is Simon Hi, Simon He's really, really super friendly And he told us yesterday everything we have to do and how we prepare ourselves And he took really his time with us and went with us for everything we have to do Which is pretty amazing They said to be there at 10 o'clock and it's 9.30 now So we're all good with time We're on German time today Yes, I like it I like to be on time The process starts around 10 o'clock I've got to drop off the bike next to the ship What they call the ship side, ready to be loaded Actually, I don't do the loading of the bike myself Unfortunately, they're not letting me ride the bike on They have their own people to bring all the cars and bikes onto the ferry And I was like, are you sure they'll be all right with this bike? I mean, it's pretty big and heavy But they said the person would probably be fine So No, they have even bigger bikes here in South Korea Where we see all the Harleys Look at these bikes That's true That's true, the Harleys It's a pretty cool job, isn't it? Riding all the bikes onto the ferry For sure It's so cool And then immigration doesn't even open until half past one And we don't even start boarding the ferry Until like the early afternoon So apparently the ferry is supposed to leave around 4pm We're going to be spending the whole day Just hanging around the port I like it Yeah, it's pretty chilled Okay, so it looks like the gate Into the passenger terminal is not actually open yet I think actually they might not even open it until 10pm So we are a little bit early So what I'll do is just pull up here And just, I guess we'll just wait in front Yeah I don't know if this guy takes the ferry as well Hey, yes, how's it going? Good I'm overlander too Cool Yeah, I came from Cape Town Oh, awesome But my bike has been 3 years stuck in London No way So now you finally pick up your bike Awesome I came from Cape Town all the way to Norway Yeah Nice And then into Sampetsburg Down to Iran Iran was a mizer You can talk about it by that And then into Turkmenistan And then Uzbekistan Tajikistan Yeah Kyrgyzstan Kazakhstan Russia I'm thinking how to try to get some rubles Talk more Yeah, yeah, all right Thanks, guys Thank you Okay, I'm going to park up in front Perfect, all right So the guys here said that we're not allowed to like film the scenery around the port But he said it's okay for us to kind of film ourselves So we just unpacked Bumblebee completely because they said we couldn't leave anything on the bike And now Bumblebee is completely naked So now I'm waiting until they tell me to take Bumblebee over to the ship side to be loaded And then we'll make our way over to the passenger terminal and just hang around, I guess Yeah, enjoy life Just enjoy life That's Mikhail from Russia He's from Havarovsk Which is actually a city that we're going to be heading through after Vladivostok It's about 700 kilometers from Vladivostok So that's cool So we're just waiting to weigh all of the bags 50 kilograms together allowed to be checked in and then 25 kilograms each allowed to come with us on board This is everything from Bumblebee Both panniers, rear box and the two duffel bags So this is basically all the personal belongings we have in the world Yeah, exactly It doesn't look like very much, is it? We don't have a lot of stuff Minimalists Minimalists, that's the way So there's a big, big map of the east sea on the wall And we're here on the edge of Korea in Donghae And you can see the ferry goes up past China there and up to Russia The eastern dream New home to see Yes! It's happening We are going towards the ferry and we'll take us to Siberia for a day Okay Yep, let's go Do you want to be top bank or bottom bank? Because I have to go to the toilet probably bottom, hey? Okay, alright, I'll be top Everybody here has like their own complete bed We've got light and everything It looks so cosy I feel like on the square trip We've got to get out of these motorcycle clothes because I am hot I want to get some nice comfy socks on Here we go Our mini apartment on board the eastern dream Look at that So much privacy That's not bad, is it? That is not bad at all It's so cosy Wow So we're just going to have some sandwiches with some egg that Lavi brought up this morning and some crisps It's great Absolutely great So 25 hours and let's go And you look really great in your new hat as well Cool There we go Look, I think we're moving We are officially on the move They're just leaving the port of Donghe Donghe Next stop Ladi Vostok Bye bye South Korea Bye bye Disappearing into the distance behind us My Korean really early night I'm seeing some rain clouds over there So it's the perfect time to just snuggle in Entering a new country which is really exciting Yeah, and then we have to go through the whole customs process and we have to basically try to get Bumblebee as fast as we can onto the streets of Russia Maybe it takes two to four days the customs process So no idea what's going on there I don't know But we have a contact called Yuri and we've been talking to him via email for like the last year telling him that we are coming to Russia at one point We're coming to Russia We're coming to Russia and now we really are coming to Russia Yes, and that's it from us today We hope you enjoyed the video If so, please give us a thumbs up Subscribe to the channel Share the video with your friends and family below and we will see you next time First views of Siberia What a crazy place I can't believe we're here It's gonna be crazy
