Motorcycle Tour - Problems at Albania Greece border Ep. 17

Transcript

00:00They say okay, you can walk, you can cross the border, come back to Albania, we can help you in a system and you can go.

00:30Assalam Alekum and good morning everyone from Tirana, Albania.

00:33Yesterday I reached here and today is my second day here.

00:36The start of the day was not good.

00:38I just heard in the news that their second wave has started.

00:41There are a lot of infections and it is possible that their neighboring countries will close their borders.

00:45And before Greece or any other country crosses the border with them and I get stuck here,

00:50I am thinking of leaving from here.

00:52Today's plan is that I will ride towards Greece and try to cross the border.

00:56Greece's border has been open since 15th June and today is 17th June.

01:00So I shouldn't have any problem.

01:02Google is telling me that it will take me 4 hours and 30 minutes to cover almost 300 km.

01:08I have just come to have breakfast.

01:10I will pack my stuff and leave from here.

01:26TIRANA

01:36Bismillah... In the name of Allah

01:38Assalam Alekum

01:44So I am ready.

01:46The rain is not stopping.

01:49But what can we do now?

01:51Let's spend this day peacefully.

01:54Let's get out of Tirana as soon as possible.

01:59The traffic here...

02:01That's why I didn't go to the city center in the evening.

02:04It's so tiring in this traffic.

02:07Look at that...

02:08He is returning me back in the middle of the road, even though there are cars behind me.

02:13This is the situation in Pakistan.

02:16You can return me back wherever you want.

02:19You can even reverse.

02:21No problem at all.

02:34I hope it's not parked somewhere.

02:36Yes, it is.

02:38I don't know what to say to them.

02:41This is too much.

02:52TIRANA

03:00Let's fill up the tank from here.

03:05Full?

03:06Full.

03:10We have a little more than 9 liters in the tank.

03:13We have a lake with us.

03:15Let's fill it up.

03:18This is about 1400 rupees.

03:22120 lakhs is equivalent to 1 euro.

03:30So it's about 12 euros.

03:34Bismillah... In the name of Allah.

03:48DURUS

03:51We have arrived at the Albanian coast.

03:54Now we are gonna travel along the coast.

03:58The area I am in is called Durus.

04:01Let's be careful not to take a wrong turn.

04:06I think this is the navigation.

04:10That's right.

04:12Durus is their port city.

04:14It's famous for its beaches.

04:17Most people from Tirana come here to party and enjoy.

04:34The rain has caught up with us again.

04:36It's not leaving me alone.

04:38It's catching up with me wherever I go.

04:43I am thinking of taking a break.

04:45There's a terrible storm ahead.

04:48It's raining heavily.

04:50I think there's a petrol pump here.

04:54There are petrol pumps everywhere in Albania.

04:58I think this is their main business.

05:01Every petrol pump has a different price.

05:03I haven't seen a single petrol pump...

05:06I mean if I have seen 10 petrol pumps,

05:09each one would have a different price.

05:14The next day.

05:23One cappuccino.

05:29Nescafe?

05:31No, this is...

05:33With milk?

05:37Milk?

05:40Yeah, this is good.

05:44They are making Espresso.

05:48Big.

05:51Yes.

05:57I am so unlucky today.

05:59There were so many cafes on the way.

06:01But the one I stopped at,

06:03I got coffee there.

06:05But it was black coffee.

06:07There was no milk.

06:09I was so annoyed that I was asking for milk.

06:13I couldn't understand what he was saying.

06:15So I got tired and asked for coffee.

06:19Check out the condition of the coffee.

06:21I love coffee.

06:23But you can't have black coffee without milk.

06:27I don't add sugar.

06:29Milk is a must.

06:31And the weather is so bad.

06:33I am tired of driving on the highway.

06:35I am not driving on the highway.

06:37I am going to take a route along the coast.

06:40Even if it takes me more than 2 hours,

06:42I am going to drive along the coast.

06:44Not on the highway.

06:51This is the most difficult day of this trip so far.

06:56It's not because the ride is difficult or anything.

07:00But most of the time, I have to stay on the highway.

07:04And the scenery is so boring.

07:07It's so difficult to focus on the highway.

07:10My eyes are closing.

07:12I am so tired.

07:14Fortunately, I have made a good decision

07:16to take a scenic route.

07:18Because if I go on this road,

07:20I don't think I will be able to see anything.

07:23I am in a village now.

07:25In a small city.

07:28We will take the scenic route ahead of this.

07:34Coffee? Yeah. Cappuccino?

07:41Cappellato? Yes.

07:47So this was my coffee number 4.

07:49Unfortunately, the locals here don't speak English.

07:52So I had to ask for help.

07:54I am not able to speak English.

07:56I am not able to speak English.

07:58I am not able to speak English.

08:00I am not able to speak English.

08:02Unfortunately, the locals here don't speak English.

08:05Nor do they speak German.

08:07They mostly speak Italian.

08:09And Italian is as much as their English.

08:13That's why I don't speak it.

08:16Only Buon Giorno and Grazie.

08:19I don't know anything else.

08:21This national park is called Lagorna National Park.

08:25I have come here by mistake.

08:27I didn't plan to come here.

08:29I just wanted to change the route on the way.

08:32So that it becomes a scenic route.

08:34It's a beautiful place.

08:36There are not many tourists here.

08:38The scenery is good.

09:00It's 5 pm and we have taken a break for our late lunch and dinner.

09:04We were supposed to have some lobsters.

09:06But we have been stuck in traffic for the whole day.

09:10There are no lobsters here.

09:12Thankfully, there are a lot of fish in this area.

09:15Because the beach is right next to the sea.

09:18But there is a huge problem here.

09:21I don't think anyone will be able to catch a fish here.

09:25There is a huge problem here.

09:28Neither can anyone understand my language, nor can they understand mine.

09:31I just kept working with gestures.

09:33I just asked them to give me whatever they have.

09:37This area is next to Greece.

09:40And they mostly speak Greek here.

09:42Let's see what comes next.

09:46This is a Greek salad.

09:49And there should be fish with it.

09:54He doesn't know English.

09:56It will be around 12 Euros.

09:58He made 12 Euros.

10:015, 5, 10.

10:03Thank you. Bye.

10:12The mistake I made was that I didn't know how to speak English.

10:16I thought I would be able to speak English.

10:18But I didn't.

10:20I thought I would be able to speak English.

10:23The mistake I made was that I gave the address of the village in the middle.

10:28I didn't know that the road that goes along the beach is such a narrow road.

10:33And there is a lot of curves on it.

10:36Mr. Google is telling me that we will cover 162 km in 3 hours and 13 minutes.

10:43That means I will be there by 9 pm.

10:46It's a good thing that I have seen a beautiful and different region of Albania today.

10:53Otherwise, if I had stayed on the highway,

10:55the way I was feeling dizzy and sleepy,

10:58could have been wrong.

11:16Greece.

11:23Greece?

11:24Greece, yes.

11:30Pakistan.

11:32Pakistan?

11:33Yes.

11:36Germany, Pakistan.

11:38Motorcycle.

11:40Motorcycle from Germany?

11:42Germany.

11:43Pakistan.

11:49The people here are nice.

11:51Overall, they are friendly.

12:09When will these curves end?

12:12The roads are just going round and round.

12:18I also wanted to come on a curve.

12:21And my wish is coming true.

12:24And I can't wait for it to end.

12:26Let's get down from one side and climb up from the other.

12:29I can feel the exhaustion in the last part.

12:34So I hope these curves don't last too long.

12:38I can see a road on the map.

12:41Hopefully, we will have to go till there.

12:44And then we will find a straight road ahead.

12:47But check out the views.

12:49Amazing.

13:03We have reached the border.

13:06First, we have to exit from Albania.

13:10And then to Greece.

13:14Let's see.

13:21Hopefully, it won't be a problem.

13:39Yes, I do speak English.

14:10Okay, just a second.

14:13Let's go and ask them.

14:15It's 9.30 in the night.

14:17And after travelling all day, I have reached the border.

14:21They told me that they have closed the entry for Greece.

14:25Today is 17th of June.

14:27And it's closed till 1st of July.

14:29They had opened on 15th of June for one day only.

14:32And they have closed it right after that.

14:35So I have to go back now.

14:38And I have only one option.

14:40I have to cross from North Macedonia.

14:43It's written on their website that I can cross.

14:45And Greece is not that bad.

14:47They haven't updated their website.

14:49I was afraid that they would close it in Tirana.

14:52But when I checked their website in Tirana, there was nothing written on it.

14:56Anyway, let's go to the hotel.

15:00I am at the border between Greece and Albania.

15:05I have to drive for about an hour to reach there.

15:08Because tomorrow I have a long drive to the border of North Macedonia.

15:13That's why I have taken an hour from here.

15:15I hope to reach there by 10.30 pm.

15:18Then I will go and rest.

15:20And I will talk to you there.

15:22Greece

15:24Albania

15:26Greece

15:28Albania

15:30Greece

15:32Albania

15:34Greece

15:36Albania

15:38Greece

15:40Albania

15:42Greece

15:44I am back from the border of Greece.

15:46Fortunately, I didn't face any problem in finding a hotel.

15:51The hotel is on the main highway.

15:53I took an hour from here because my ride tomorrow will be shorter.

15:58I was very tired today.

16:02I started at 9.30 in the morning.

16:05It's 10.30 now.

16:07It's been a long day.

16:09But I think it was one of the most beautiful days.

16:12I really liked the area where I stayed.

16:15I don't know if I will get a better idea when I edit the vlog.

16:20I hope you guys liked it as well.

16:23Unfortunately, the Greeks didn't let me in.

16:26But I don't want to ruin my day by shooting them.

16:30That's what happens in adventure.

16:32Sometimes you have good days and sometimes you have bad days.

16:35But if we base our entire day on that,

16:40that this happened and that happened,

16:42that's what happens.

16:44It's better to shoot such things.

16:46Insha Allah, I will tell you in the next vlog about the next step.

16:49Hopefully, you guys liked today's vlog.

16:52And if you did, don't forget to hit the LIKE button.

16:55See you in the next vlog.

16:57I am very tired now.

16:59I'll sleep now.

17:01I'll start the next day early.

17:03Allah Hafiz.
