I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:30
Assalam-o-Alaikum and good morning everyone from Thet National Park, Albania.
00:45
When I reached here yesterday, it was almost 9 or 9.30am.
00:48
And the last 4 hours of my ride, 16-17 km off-road, it was literally humiliating for me.
00:56
And I don't know how I managed to reach here.
00:58
It's just that I reached here in a hurry.
01:01
But I was lucky that I found a nice guest house right next to the road.
01:05
As soon as I reached here, I found this guest house.
01:07
I didn't have to go back and forth.
01:09
It's a nice guest house. I got it for almost 20 Euros.
01:12
Even with dinner.
01:13
Today's plan is that I have to go back on the same road that I took.
01:17
Which means that I have to go down the hill and then up the hill again.
01:20
And it's 15 km off-road again.
01:23
So I'm literally scared that I don't know how I will manage these 15 km today.
01:28
Because yesterday, it was all slippery.
01:31
There are a lot of loose rocks and the road is terrible.
01:34
I didn't even cover these 15 km for 2.5 hours.
01:38
So today's plan is that I will go back on the same road towards Skadar.
01:42
Which is the main city of Skadar.
01:45
And then I will decide if I have time, I will continue ahead.
01:49
Komani is a small village.
01:51
I have to start my day from there.
01:53
So I will go there.
01:55
It's gonna be a 7 to 8 hour ride.
01:58
I will try to record more today.
02:03
I couldn't record anything in the rain yesterday.
02:06
And my hands were so cold.
02:08
The weather forecast says that it will start raining in the second half of the day.
02:11
So I am trying to leave before that.
02:14
I have had my breakfast here.
02:16
They have given me some simple bread and such things.
02:19
But thank God I have got this too.
02:21
Let's start the ride and leave from here.
02:24
Bismillah... In the name of Allah
02:26
Assalam Alekum
02:32
Sometimes, there are days when you think that you have to go from point A to point B safely.
02:38
So today is the day when I am literally scared.
02:43
This is the 15 km off road.
02:46
I hope it goes well.
02:48
This is the village.
02:50
The road is better here.
02:52
It's not that bad.
02:54
It's a total valley type, so it's straight.
02:56
There is no problem here.
02:58
But as soon as I go ahead, I have to climb that mountain.
03:00
There will be a problem with my luggage.
03:03
But hopefully, the weather will be better today.
03:05
So there won't be much of a problem.
03:13
There is a valley down there.
03:28
Hopefully, the weather clears up on the way.
03:32
Then I will take breaks.
03:35
Oh God!
03:47
I should cover this.
03:49
I can't survive without it.
03:51
I have my own jacket.
03:53
But it has all my documents.
03:55
The weather has changed in minutes.
03:58
It was predicted that it will rain after 2 pm.
04:01
I was supposed to leave early in the morning.
04:08
It's muddy here.
04:10
Bikes are pulling me to the other side.
04:13
That's what I was trying to avoid.
04:15
I didn't want to leave on time.
04:17
Before the rain.
04:19
But the weather was waiting for me.
04:22
It was telling me that it's going to rain as soon as I leave.
04:25
It wasn't raining in the morning.
04:27
The sun was out.
04:29
It's going to start as soon as I leave.
04:31
Oh God!
04:33
I hope I don't slip.
04:38
If I drop my bike here,
04:41
I will have to unload my luggage.
04:43
I can't even pick it up without it.
05:00
I have completed the 8 km off road section.
05:04
I told you that it's a total of 15 km.
05:06
So 7 km is still left.
05:08
The good thing is that I haven't dropped my bike even once.
05:11
My heart was pounding from inside.
05:13
I have dropped my bike only a couple of times.
05:16
But it's better to go up from here.
05:19
When I was coming down last night,
05:21
it was much more slippery.
05:23
Because it rained continuously for the last 4 hours.
05:25
Then it stopped.
05:27
It's been a while since it stopped.
05:29
So I decided to click some pictures.
05:31
And then we will continue our journey.
05:34
The views were a little open.
05:36
And as you can see,
05:38
it's quite beautiful behind me.
05:40
I am enjoying it.
05:42
I will try to complete the journey without falling.
05:58
Asphalt starts from the cars parked in front.
06:02
Check out this section.
06:04
God bless you.
06:06
There are so many big roads here.
06:09
Rangili must be cursing me from inside.
06:11
She must be asking me where I have brought her.
06:17
How are you?
06:19
Good?
06:21
It's a terrible day.
06:23
How are you?
06:25
Good?
06:27
It's a terrible road.
06:29
Terrible?
06:31
Better or same?
06:33
It depends.
06:35
This section is a little bad.
06:37
But then...
06:39
It's hard to say.
06:41
Some sections are okay. Some are bad.
06:47
This one is perfect.
06:49
This one, I don't know.
06:51
We did it on 310.
07:01
We are not far now.
07:03
We have finally reached the asphalt.
07:08
I am feeling so happy from inside.
07:11
I never thought I would be so happy to see the asphalt.
07:15
So...
07:17
Here it is.
07:19
Asphalt.
07:21
We made it.
07:23
We made it Rangili.
07:25
Well done.
07:29
We fell down without any issues.
07:32
It's a good thing.
07:35
From here on, it's gonna be peaceful.
07:37
At least the asphalt section.
07:39
And I can go at a speed of 40-50 kmph.
07:43
So...
07:45
We will reach Skadar now.
07:47
It's almost 1.07 pm now.
07:51
I don't know if it's Romania's time or not.
07:54
I am in Romania.
07:56
Where am I? In Albania.
07:58
I think Albania and Germany have the same time.
08:00
It's gonna take us 1.5 hours to reach Skadar.
08:13
You must be thinking that only in Pakistan, electricity is available.
08:17
But it's available here as well.
08:19
I took a short break to have a cup of coffee.
08:21
It was raining heavily.
08:23
So I decided to take a break.
08:25
They have electricity here.
08:27
He is...
08:29
What's your name?
08:31
Ged.
08:33
He is making me a Turkish coffee.
08:43
Albania's currency is Lek.
08:45
And a lot of people here still accept Euros.
08:48
Like I was getting petrol yesterday.
08:50
He took Euros from me.
08:52
I have paid less than 1 Euro for coffee and croissant in this village.
08:56
Albania is quite cheap overall.
09:05
Albania has a population of 3 million.
09:08
The Ottoman Empire has been here for a long time.
09:11
Most people are still Muslims.
09:13
But the state doesn't interfere in your religion.
09:16
It's a secular country.
09:18
You can change your religion as you wish.
09:21
The state has nothing to do with it.
09:23
Besides that, the Italian influence is quite strong here.
09:27
Because when the Ottomans left here,
09:29
when they were defeated in Europe,
09:32
the rulers here turned to communism.
09:35
So this was a communist country till 1991.
09:38
A lot of people from Albania shifted to Italy.
09:41
Migrants.
09:43
And they used to watch a lot of Italian TV here.
09:46
Because Italy is just south of here.
09:48
So they know Italian as well.
09:50
If I talk to someone in the village,
09:52
he will ask me if I know Italian.
09:54
But I don't know Albanian.
09:56
Because Albanian is their main language.
09:58
And the second language is Italian.
10:00
I was talking to the guy who made me this coffee.
10:03
He said that almost every family has a relative in Italy.
10:08
That's why a lot of people here know Italian.
10:28
Unfortunately, this off-road section has injured my bike.
10:32
The first injury was a broken bag.
10:35
The bike had fallen down once.
10:38
So it's fine now.
10:40
But I had put some bungee cords on it.
10:43
It will be fine.
10:45
The main issue was the chain cleaner.
10:48
The pipe that supplies the oil,
10:51
there was a stone on it.
10:53
And the pipe was cut.
10:55
Now I have to find a BMW guy.
10:57
Or a mechanic who can check the bike.
11:00
And also find a pipe for the oil cleaner.
11:03
Let's see if I can get it from here.
11:05
Because I have the oil.
11:07
And I don't want to buy any extra oil.
11:09
I have already bought one.
11:11
And I have already spent 120-130 Euros on it.
11:13
I just checked the weather here.
11:15
And unfortunately, there is an 80% chance of rain here.
11:18
My plan was to go to Lake Komani in the mountain region.
11:23
And then enter Kosovo from there.
11:25
I don't know if Kosovo's border is open or not.
11:28
But I do know about North Macedonia.
11:30
Their border is closed.
11:32
And they haven't given a date as yet.
11:36
So I am thinking of riding along the Balbanian coast to Tirana.
11:41
And if I can find a nice camping spot near the beach, I will do it.
11:45
Otherwise, we will go to the city and find a hotel.
12:02
Garden is neglected but the door is open.
12:08
You can come.
12:13
Turn the light on, sit with me.
12:20
So we have entered Tirana.
12:23
And now we have to find our hotel.
12:26
I have booked a hotel here last night.
12:28
Because I was getting a very cheap hotel.
12:31
I didn't want to camp here for no reason.
12:33
And that includes breakfast.
12:35
So I am getting a hotel here for a cheaper price than my breakfast and camping.
12:40
So I am going to stay in a 3 star hotel.
12:44
Let's go and check out the quality of that 3 star hotel.
13:01
So this is our hotel.
13:09
And this is the parking.
13:13
Let's park here.
13:19
Hello.
13:20
I have a reservation.
13:22
Abrar Hassan.
13:24
I have reached the hotel.
13:26
And the best part is that I have paid only Rs 20.
13:29
It's an amazing room.
13:31
Out of all the hotels I have stayed in, this is the best one.
13:36
I am saying this for the money.
13:38
The return you are getting for paying only Rs 20 is amazing.
13:43
It's not exactly in the center.
13:45
It's a little out of the center.
13:47
And you can get a good view from here.
13:49
Let's take some rest now.
13:51
Then I will go for lunch.
13:53
I don't know if I should go to the town center or the nearby restaurants.
13:55
So let's take some rest.
13:59
Let's go.
14:16
The majority of Albanians are Muslims.
14:18
So it's relatively easy to get Halal food here.
14:20
But keep in mind that this is a secular country.
14:24
They must be selling pork as well.
14:26
Alcohol is very important here.
14:30
Whether you are a Muslim or a non-Muslim.
14:32
If you go to a restaurant and ask,
14:34
they will tell you if you can get Halal food here or not.
14:37
The restaurant I went to,
14:39
they told me that they are Muslims.
14:41
But we don't just eat pork.
14:45
But we do sell it.
14:47
This was my second day in Albania.
14:49
