 Good morning. Good morning. So we have had some replies from the Environmental Protection Agency about this letter that we apparently need from them to allow Bumblebee to cross the border into the US. So I've been in contact with the guy from there and I've basically, I explained our situation, I explained that we've booked our wedding and that we really, really needed to get this letter to get Bumblebee across the border and this is his reply. Exemptions can take 14 to 21 business days for processing. That's like literally what it says on the website. Apparently he can't do anything for us to speed up the process so we are kind of stuck. Yeah it doesn't look like they're going to do it any favors. So I was having a look on some of the groups on Facebook and some of the forums to try and find out what people's experience of the border was and if they were actually asked for this letter and it's really interesting because it seems that nobody has been really asked for this letter. Everybody just said, oh they were just waved through or they didn't have to do anything about it. I don't know. You think we should email itchy boots and ask her? Yeah let's do it. Help us itchy boots! Because when we watched her episode we weren't really sure whether she was actually asked for this so yeah maybe she can tell us. She replied! Yay! Actually it's pretty good. She said that no one asked her when she crossed the border. Now that looks actually really promising so I wonder if we should just go for it. Of course we do. We just go for it. I mean it looks actually really promising what she said on every comment on our overlander and no one was mentioning anything. Once you're in, you're in basically. There is no temporary import permit that you have and need to return when you exit the country. So basically if we get to the border and they just check the passports and wave us through then that's it. We're in. I think it looks promising so I think we should go for it. At least we can try it and see how it goes. Our plan was to cross the border in one week so let's do it. Let's give it a go. Yeah let's do it. Okay. Is that okay if we say here for just here have some lunch or just here? No you need to stay here all day. You want, don't worry. Thank you. I'll make some tortillas at the moment. Wow! Just cold tortillas. I have cheese, I have avocados. Is here a micro, a little micro? Yeah I have some visual, yes. We are prepared. I'm not a vegetarian but I try to deny meat. Not too much. Fish? Yes. Okay that's good. I eat a lot of tortillas. Yes. Look how many. Yes. Why a lot? Because we eat. We eat every day. For the first lunch, dinner. Yes. Thank you so much. Awesome. The lady from the reception is so super nice. It's nice air conditioning here and we will take the night ferry so we can pretty much just chill out for now here. Oh yes. I'm becoming a taco master I can tell you. Oh yes. And eat some tacos. Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 383 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the town of Los Moshes in Mexico and we're just going from the hotel that we've been staying at for the past couple of days up to collect Bumblebee. Because Bumblebee is at a parking just around the corner. Well I hope Bumblebee is still around the corner. We dropped her off a couple of days ago so hopefully they've taken care of her. We have an exciting afternoon and evening ahead. So let me show you guys where we're heading today. So we are here and today we're going to be taking this little road down to Topolabambo to take a ferry across to the Baja California Peninsula. Yes it's just a short ride for us today because we are heading over to the ferry port at Topolabambo which is not very far from here. And we'll be going there to the office to get the tickets for the ferry. But the ferry won't be until about 11 o'clock tonight I think. So we're going to go get Bumblebee now from the parking. It should be just here. Bumblebee's still there? Yes Bumblebee's still here. So we're going to bring Bumblebee back to the hotel, pack her up and then head over to the ferry port. Wow it's five o'clock already. Yeah yeah. We just spent so much time chatting to Michael, another biker who just arrived at the hotel. Then we were just like oh it's actually going to get dark in a little bit. So we better make our way to the ferry. Yes. We haven't even got tickets yet. Yeah a really friendly guy and he told us a crazy story because he started his journey with a friend actually. They drove all the way from LA down to Mexico to the border to Guatemala and his friend got in an accident. The accident is apparently so bad that at the moment he can't even walk anymore. It's a really dangerous thing doing long motorcycle journeys. I mean just being on a motorcycle is just incredibly dangerous. It really makes you think about it and just how careful you have to be and just how conservatively you have to ride. Like how boring you have to be basically. You have to ride like super boring all the time. Because when you're sitting on this bike there's a risk. Totally. Always a risk. Totally. But today we have actually a ferry short ride from Los Moches to Topolabambo to the ferry terminal. We're not really in a rush because the ferry is not leaving until I think 11 o'clock tonight. It's an overnight ferry. I think it's 11 o'clock and then you arrive at 8 in the morning in La Paz on the Baja California Peninsula. Yeah, absolutely amazing. So we've spent most of the day just doing some work. Try to catch up with some editing, creating some thumbnails. Oh yeah, thumbnail creating is always a fun business. How can we get you guys to click on this? Looks quite cute here. Look at this collection of colorful houses. Yeah, that is actually really nice. Yeah. Do you think they like went to a meeting and said, right, you paint yours green, you paint yours blue? I think they just said pick your favorite color. Yeah, but I mean, look, it's very evenly spread out. Otherwise it could be like everybody liked green and every house on this side is green. That's roaming there. Nice. Beautiful marina here. Yeah. And I think this is literally it's coming to the ferry port now. Oh, so we have to see where we got to get our tickets. I have no idea. I have no idea. So we'll keep riding forward. I think the entrance was actually back where we just were. Hey, it definitely looks like the entrance. Yeah. Terminal de transportadores. Hola. Hola. Hola. Baja ferry bilatera. Ah, okay. Okay. Perfect. ID? Yeah. Paper. Okay. Get the document from here. This page. Ah, yes. Ah, aduanas. Gracias. Very good, my friend. Ah, yes. Do you mean Oregon? Oregon? Oh, yeah. Oh, Oregon. Okay. Oh, Eugene. Ah, nice. Precivenas y Oregon. Sí. Sí. Oregon, Washington, Iváncouver. Very good. Yes. Gracias. Gracias. Oh, I hate these bumps. The wheels always slide on them. Okay. Let's see where we have to go next. Yeah, that was like quite rigorous. Like it was almost like a border, wasn't it? Yeah. You're at the limit now, aren't you? I am. With everything going on with the U.S. border. Oh, my God. I'm so scared, really. I'm so scared that they won't let us in. We're at the logistical limit of what we can take on this journey, I reckon. Yeah, I think so too, actually, yeah. It's like it's really, really hard for my heart. That's all right. This will be easy. It's just a nice little ferry ride. Exactly. A nice eight-hour ferry ride. Yeah. I think they said, like, go, like, around, no? Okay. Only just went inside to buy the tickets. And I will take care of Landerby here. But it's pretty chilled at the moment. It's just six o'clock. And I think the ferry is leaving by, like, 11 or 12. We have a lot of hours to wait and to relax. 20 minutes later. So bad news. They've told us that the ferry for tonight is full. They have no space for us. So we decided just to book some tickets for tomorrow night instead. So it's really stupid because we've just been in town for two days, literally 30 minutes from here. I thought that we could just arrive here. We even contacted them online with a chat and said, yeah, we want to take the ferry tomorrow and then we'll buy the tickets. And they said, yeah, no worries. And they never mentioned once to us, oh, by the way, make sure you come early or this and that because maybe they'll be full. They were just like, yeah, no problem. And then we arrive here and they're like, oh, no, it's full. So we're going to get the tickets now. But before we can get the tickets, we have to get the bike weighed, which we have to pay for as well. We have to basically take this line here, go and get weighed and then take our weight over to the ticket office and then they'll look us in. All right. Let's get bumblebee weighed, weighed and measured. Hola. Aqui? Yeah? It's OK? Hola. Buenos. Placa KP70DNU. Nombre Oliver. Inglaterra. OK. Gracias. Perfecto. Ciao, ciao. Does it say how much bumblebee? Oh, 320 kilo. That's bumblebee's loaded weight. That's with a full, full, full tank, full with water as well. That's not too bad. I mean the dry weight is probably nearly 300 kilo. No, the dry weight's maybe 260 kilo. Gracias. Ah-ha. Para ti? OK, gracias. 300... 320. 320. 320. OK, gracias. So then this one... OK, muchas gracias. OK, so we're heading out of the ferry port now. We asked them at the ticket booth if it was worth waiting around until later because they did say that you could do that if you wanted to and then if they had some cancellations or extra space they would get us on but they did say that the chances of that were very low. So we decided in the end to just get our ticket for tomorrow. Yes, exactly. So at the end the ticket cost us 6465 Mexican pesos which is about 280 pounds. So a little bit over budget but Baja California is supposed to be a really nice peninsula so you really shouldn't miss out on it and it's really safe to travel there as well. And plus it's an eight hour ferry so you know 280 pounds for us and the bike I guess that's OK. It's not too bad and it will save us a night of accommodation. That's true. So now we've booked ourselves back in at Hotel Lorena the same hotel that we've been at for the last couple of days. So it's about a 26 minutes ride to our hotel and we will catch you tomorrow. Hey guys, I don't know if you've noticed us wearing these t-shirts before well these are our overlanded teas and we're selling them on our Etsy store. We actually designed them ourselves so you better like them. If you love what we do and want to show your support why not buy one of these super cool teas? By doing so you'll be helping us get a hot meal or a cozy air-conditioned room for the night. Head over to our Etsy store and order one today. We get it shipped out for you wherever you are in the world. Thanks Mom and Dad. You can find the link to the store in the description below. Thanks so much guys and now back to the video. The next day. Alright, we are back at the ferry port at the terminal de Transporadores and now we are ready to take a ferry tonight. So we've made our reservation. We just have to go to the booth, the same booth we got the tickets from and get our reservation exchanged for an actual ticket. That should be all gravy. It should be good to go. Hola, buenas. Four straps. No. Okay, so we are leaving the port again because they just told us that we need to provide our own ratchet straps to strap down the bike on the ferry. And I said, no, it's fine. We'll just put it in gear, put it on the side stand. Like, that's fine for me, no problem. And then she said, no, the ferry requires that you have these straps. Like, you need these straps to get on the ferry. If you don't have the straps, you're not allowed on the ferry. I'm really regretting that we want to take this ferry. Really. So anyway, we are heading into town, back into town now to go to a shop called Autozone which luckily is open until 10 and they sell a pack of four straps. I think it costs about £25. All of this time and all these ferries we have not needed ratchet straps of our own for any reason. Well, let's go back into town then, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Head back into town, get the ratchet straps, get back to the ferry port. Hopefully that'll be all. Ollie just went inside the shop and sees if we can find some straps for us. It's not easy to take this ferry. It's not easy. Oh yes. We're all strapped up now. Yes. Oh, here we go. A pack of four ratchet straps that we're only going to need to use once. So they cost £377 which is about, I think it's about £15. They're three metres long. I hope that'll be enough. Back at the ferry port for the third time and hopefully for the last time. Yeah, seriously. If they need anything else to get this ferry then I'm swimming. Gracias. Okay. Mission complete. Got all our tickets here and she just told us as well that it's breakfast included. So tomorrow morning at 6am we can have a nice breakfast hopefully. That's got to be worth £300. That'll be a really, really good breakfast. I'll tell you. Hash browns, sausages, vegetarian, chips, beans, chips. What are you eating? Toast, beans. Another motorcyclist there who's like yeah, I had to go buy straps just before. Everyone's going to go buy straps. I'll tell you, there's something going on between this ferry company that sells straps in town. It's like a thing happening. It's only 7pm now. I don't board with the motorcyclist until 10pm. Lavi doesn't come on until 11pm. So we've got plenty of time now. So we're just going to unpack our stuff a bit, have some dinner and just chill out. Tea time. Obviously, bed is waiting for us on the ferry. I don't think so. Bye. Olli's going now with the motorbike with Bumblebee and I have to wait here and see what's going on next. It's already 11.30pm. So it's quite late. I hope you will be all right. Oh, there she is at the window. Bye-bye. Yeah, everything's taking ages. They're not really... Nothing seems to be happening. But anyway, I'm going to take the bike over to where all the cars are waiting and see if we're getting pretty close to actually getting on this ferry. It's kind of weird riding in sandals and socks. But it's kind of nice as well. So here's a bunch of cars. I have no idea where to go. So I'm just going to go to the front because that's where the bikers go. Oh, look, yeah, they're still loading. Still all the trucks still going. How big is this ferry? There's nobody in any of these cars either. All right? Just wait here then. I really don't know how everybody knows the order. But anyway, there's some trucks just going on it now. No way. The trucks are reversing onto the ferry. Wow, that's crazy. These like big trucks are reversing up the ramp. And as far as I can see, I'm the only bike around. I cannot see any of the bikes. 20 Minutes. No. 80. 80 Minutes. No, I have one problem. Oh. One AM. One AM? Okay, gracias. I can finally board. It's 12.15. And I think actually Olli is still waiting in the queue. I can't see him. But I can just see that actually just the trucks are boarding. So he might still have to wait for a while. It looks actually that the trucks they have to reverse backwards onto the boat. Super crazy. It seems to be getting cold on but they're leaving the bike to the last so I'm still waiting. Everyone seems to be going on except me. I think Lavi is probably already on the boat chilling in her comfy seat. It's not that comfortable unfortunately. Oh yes. We've just had the call that we could start moving. It's amazing. It is 20 to 1 now. And on the ticket it says the ferry was supposed to leave at midnight. So that's not happening. But this is an improvement. We're getting closer. Okay. The motorcyclists have been called me and this fellow just here. I'll just follow him. I think we're going. I think we're going. Oh yeah. Nice. Wow. It looks much bigger up close. There we go. Our beloved ratchet straps. Useful for the first and only time. Do you need more? See? Yeah. YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. New fans of the channel. Alright. I've got to pack away these cameras. Ready? Okay. Perfect. Gracias. Alright. The cameras are secure. Bye, bubble bee. Gracias. Alright. Let's go up. Alright. Just arrived on the top deck. Where am I going? Hola. Hola. Okay. Gracias. Puerta. I think means door. So I'll go to the puerta. Passenger lounges. I really don't know where I'm walking. It feels like I'm not supposed to be here. Seat area. Where is Lavi? Where is Lavi? Oh, I see some seats. Ah, there you are. Found you. Wow. Look at this place. Look, they got a little bar. How cool is that? So where's our seats? So our seats are taken. How do you know they're taken? Lay tail. So that's it. We've made it onto the ferry. And this is going to be us for the next eight hours. Yes, we will try to just get comfortable now. And that's it for us today. We hope you enjoyed the video. If so, please give us a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel.
