 So this morning is probably the scariest morning of our trip so far. We don't have a lot of option B for this part, you know? What can we do, you know? How do anything? If we can't get the bike into the US, then I don't know. The trip just stops there. So this morning is probably the scariest morning of our trip so far because we just try to organize and see where we want to cross into the USA. So we actually looked up Itchy Boots channel where she crossed into the USA from Mexico and we were watching it and we were like, oh that looks easy. And then in the last second she was like, ah, I needed to apply four weeks in advance for my temporary import permit. And we were like, what? What was this info about now? And now we are resh-searching and apparently we have to apply in advance for our temporary import permit. Oh my god. And apparently it's like four weeks in advance and we are like a few days, maybe one week away from crossing the border. Yeah, I don't know what to do. We are both still sick, Olli is sick. Just sitting on the computer now, trying to figure out the way how we can accelerate this process or if we can even do it because apparently you have to send off a letter and you have to receive something and you have to involve like a lot of things in it. But Olli is trying to figure it out at the moment. One hour later. Goodbye, beautiful place. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. Stay number 381 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the beach side area of San Miguel in Mexico and I feel terrible today for two reasons. Number one, I'm really sick, Lavi was sick over the last couple of days and now I'm sick and I feel just generally pretty terrible and had a pretty bad sleep last night. And the second reason is that some new information has emerged that we may or may not be able to actually get bumblebee across the border from Mexico to the USA. So I was trying to do some research today and it's really unclear as to what we need to do. So it's either that we just need to give some sort of declaration, some forms when we get to the border to declare that our vehicle complies with emission standards for the USA or, and this is the thing that we don't want, is that we need to get a pre-approval from the Environmental Protection Agency an exemption to say that, yes, we're all good to go in. I sent off an email to try and get this exemption but the turnaround time is apparently three to six weeks. We're supposed to go to the US next week. So we can only hope that the second option isn't the one that we need to get bumblebee into the US, hopefully they'll let us in. Yeah, because it's absolutely crazy. We never heard anything about it, first of all, and we didn't need anything like it for any other border and we've crossed already now like 18 borders. It would be so weird if we suddenly need to apply for something six weeks in advance. It can't be real, please be not real. It wasn't a pleasant morning for sure. Yeah, it was a pretty terrible start to the day. Yes, because if we can't take the motorbike to America, then the world record is finished. We don't have a lot of option B for this part, you know. What can we do, you know? Can't do anything. If we can't get the bike into the US, then I don't know, the trip just stops there. And the other issue is that we've only got allowance for the bike to stay in Mexico for another about two weeks. And if we overstay that, then we lose our $400 deposit and we have no idea what happens to the bike. So basically, something needs to happen to get this bike out of the country one way or another within the next two weeks. Yeah, it's not too much fun. But anyway, despite all the sickness and despite the uncertainty, we have to continue on as if everything is all right. And that means today, heading to the ferry to get the ferry over to Baja California. So let me show you guys the route for today. So we are here and today we're going to be following this green road up the coast to reach here to Polo Bambou next to Los Moshes. Ready for the ferry to Baja California. So basically, we're going to take the easy route today. We're just heading on the 15D, which basically going to take us all the way along the coast. We're aiming to get to a place called Topolo Bambou where Baja ferries run a ferry tonight. I think it's leaving at like 11 o'clock at night. 11 or 12 o'clock, yeah. Yeah, so we have plenty of time to get there. Google Maps says it will take us four hours and it's 12 o'clock, so we can relax and hit the road. Okay, so we're halfway through our journey to Los Moshes and we just checked our emails and we had an email from the Environmental Protection Agency in the US and basically what they said to us is you do need an Environmental Protection Agency exemption in order to get the bike into the US. We asked him, can we go in without this? And he said, no, you need this letter from us. So then we asked how long that would take to get the letter and he said it would be between 14 and 21 business days. We've actually booked in to get married in Las Vegas and that wedding is supposed to happen in just over two weeks and my brother's coming from Australia, my parents coming from the UK, my sister's coming and they've all booked their flights to come over and that's literally happening in 16 days. Yeah and the problem is 16 days means actually 10 business days. Yeah and they said 14 to 21 business days for them to give us this letter. So even at the minimum 14 it's basically the day of the wedding already and there's no chance of us being able to cross the border and ride all the way to Las Vegas before then. So we're definitely in a bit of a pickle at the moment. I have emailed them back and I've asked if there's any way that they could sort of expedite the process. I even sent, I emailed them back and said that we were getting married and we were doing the Guinness World Record. So yeah, I don't know, we have to see if they get back to us on that one. We are still going to go towards the border. The plan for this evening is that we won't take the ferry and we will book a room and just try to research it a little bit more and try to see if other people like cross the border without the letter. If there's any chance of us to get into the USA because after crossing so many borders we didn't really think about or maybe we should research something or like yeah, read something about it. So we were just like okay let's go and now we are in a really, really big, big kicker. I guess at this point we have to go towards the border. We have to hope that this letter comes sooner than expected or we just have to go to the border and try and cross it. I don't know, I don't know for now. It's really crazy because we spent so much time organizing this leg, this flight from North America to get over to Asia like this final shipping over to do the last leg of our journey that we missed like this little detail of what's right in front of us and that's the US border. It's crazy that we spent so much time and effort talking to agents and organizing what we thought would be the most difficult part when actually the most difficult part was just getting this letter from the Environmental Protection Agency. And it's not even that it's like crazy difficult, it just takes so much time. It's like 14 to 21 business days. There's like so much time. Yeah, I mean of all the borders that we've crossed so far like 20 borders we've had to do nothing in advance. We even managed to get the bike imported into Brazil in a container that everyone said that was impossible to do. They'll never get it in through customs and we actually managed to do that and then we fall at what is actually a very easy hurdle of just a few weeks in the past. Applying for this letter, get the letter, go through the border. That's crazy how we could miss that one detail. Yeah and I read like all the comments pretty much on my overlander now and I can't read anything about it. Like no one has mentioned anything about this letter. So I don't know, it still feels like it's fake, you know. I don't get it, I really don't get it. Let's just hope we have enough time that we are early enough that we can get this sorted. Yeah and normally even the Vegas thing wouldn't be like a crazy issue because we would just maybe like drop it or something. All this family is actually coming from like from England so we have to get married now like on this day. This one, the motos is doesn't have a light. Oh maybe it's for free. It might be for free. That would be good. After paying so much every time. Let's see. We'll see. Hola. Hola. Doce, oh 12. 12. That's one of the cheapest payages yet, hey? Yeah. That's because the road is so bad. Gracias. Gracias. Okay, yeah, let's go. All right. One hour to go, nearly there and my nose is still running and horrible. What a day, hey? What a day. Yeah, what a day. It's so nice that guy he invited us for dinner. Unfortunately I said that I'm a bit sick so I said we couldn't do that. But then he said oh, let me come to your hotel. I'm part of a biker club. I'll give you my patch from the club. He's going to come by the hotel later and give us a patch from his club. How nice is that?

What kind of bouncing road is that? What's bouncing? Geez. So finally we've made it. We're here in Los Moshes. We survived the day. I didn't know if I would to be honest in the morning but we're here. Yeah our hotel should just come up in two minutes. Yeah which is the name of the hotel? Lorena. Hotel Lorena. Is that me or him? I don't know. I think it's me. Okay. But it does kind of freak you out a little bit. Yeah totally. Yeah our hotel is pretty much in the downtown of Los Moshes to the whole day on one tank. It's not bad. 201 miles on 87 octane fuel as well. And we still got 45 in the tank so that's all right. I cannot be bothered to fill up today. We're going to stop. We're going to rest. We'll fill up tomorrow. Yeah let's hope that we can get all our energy back overnight. And this road's bouncy. Wow. I really would love to see us from the side. Like going along the bouncy. I mean our suspension so needs a fix. We so need to fix that. Oh my goodness. Okay it should be right about. Ah yeah Lorena. So we're just unpacking Bumblebee. And look who arrived on this on the shadow ride here. It's Axel Escalante. Hello. There you see your bike. Nice. 550. Yes he is. Very cool. And Axel has a present for us. Oh thank you so much. He's a friend, a boy, he's MC Los Moshes. Wow. It's amazing. And this is a motorcycle club? Yes. Yeah this is my young president. Your president? Yeah. And the motorcycle club is called Old Boys. Old Boys. Old Boys. Old Boys. That's awesome. Thank you. And good luck. Thank you, thank you. Happy the life. And very mentally and physically tired. But we have a really cool room here. Check that out. Look at this TV. It's like so old school. And then we have one big bed here. A little bed here. It's really nice and clean. And also we have a nice air condition here. The bathroom. The bathroom is really nice and the big shower. So the room is nice. But that's pretty much the only thing that has worked out well today. Because everything else is kind of a disaster. Because we haven't had any replies from the Environmental Protection Agency. The official turnaround time 14 to 21 working days is not good for us. Everything is so connected. The wedding from that wedding point we had planned the next bit. Which was going to take us up to Canada for our flight. For getting Bumblebee shipped over to Asia. And this pretty much is going to happen in four weeks. And if the turnaround time is like 21 business days. I mean then we have maybe like three days to ride up from Mexico to Canada. It's impossible. Yeah, yeah, no that is completely impossible. At the moment we really don't know what we can do. So we decided to take tomorrow off. Take advantage of this nice room with the air conditioning. And we're going to try and see if we can figure out some sort of solution tomorrow. So that's it from us today. We hope you enjoyed the episode. Sorry that it was really really depressing today. But it's just how we felt like since we woke up. It was just like. But anyway, share the video with your friends and family. Comment below and we will see you next time.
