Old gearbox.
New gearbox.
The moment of truth.
Ok, first gear is working.
I have to have a word with my mechanic.
What's the plan?
We'll park the bike here.
We ride back on my bike and try to find parts.
Then we'll know more.
The funny thing is, on my first trip,
I carried a spare for 50,000km.
And I never needed it.
It's not beautiful and it's very cold, but we're at the Arctic Ocean.
This is where our journey begins.
We still have to find our flow.
No bikes, no repairs.
The bus is fast, too.
Do you think the bus will stop everywhere you want? Yes.
Taking the bus is cheaper than riding a motorcycle.
Oil changes. Checking this and checking that.
And maintenance intervals.
And it all costs money.
I read that we have to pay $150 per bike,
just to get a permit for Mexico.
A bus is a lot more convenient.
Are you suggesting to sell the bikes?
And use the money to travel by bus?
No. I'm just saying...
Travelling the world.
We're flying to Cuba.
Everyone has worries.
But here, we live a more relaxed life.
There is more humanity here.
The question is,
does the system have anything to do with
how people interact with each other?
Sure.
Man thinks as he lives.
Or lives as he thinks?
This is illegal.
The pork they are selling outside, that's illegal.
You can buy what's listed here.
You cannot buy more than that.
Yes, per household
Four persons...
You have four buns per day.
You can't get more.
So they look for alternatives.
Do you think the situation will change?
We have been waiting for 60 years.
My situation is not bad,
but I cannot travel like you do.
I would like to visit other countries.
Quickly, get your things. There is trouble.
Not good! Someone came up to me as well.
Some guys stopped next to me.
They asked what I was doing.
I said "I'm filming".
They asked if I was part of the mining operations.
What?
Oh, mining! Like quarry.
And then he said, “The mining employees are getting killed here!”
Yeah, they come and take you.
We should ask our hosts about this.
In many areas there is no drinking water like in the city.
That's why they take the water from the springs and rivers.
Mining operations contaminate the rivers, mainly with cyanide.
This causes problems with fertility in women.
Children are born with diseases. For example blindness.
Therefore, the inhabitants say: "No, you must not".
From up here you can see Antigua in Guatemala.
You can see the monuments, the train station, the volcano.
That's the wealth of Guatemala.
Not bad.
When I look at our entire journey...
I was looking forward to South America the most.
I had the feeling that South America was going to be awesome.
I found it annoying,
that we neglected the motorcycling part of the journey.
It annoyed you? Yes.
This surprises you?
Well, imagine motorcycling wasn't fun for you.
Yes, that would have been bad.
So you do not miss your backpack and the bus ticket?
Nope.
There is something in the water.
What's the problem?
Your engine might have drawn water.
Water inside the engine?
Huh, shit!
The air filter is wet.
There's water in there.
Really? Yes.
It's not supposed to be there? No.
The moneychangers panicked and closed up shop.
Everyone was frantic.
They don't know what's going on, but they turn back.
Let's ask them.
Hello.
The smugglers and the Venezuelan border patrol are in a gun fight.
They killed a guy here, apparently a smuggler.
What are 'maletero'?
It means, "smugglers".
That's why they're using teargas back there.
They are fighting on the bridge.
With tear gas.
Shooting.
I watched briefly but I couldn't bear it.
My eyes started to burn badly.
I just talked to him.
He lives in Caracas.
He said, “Don't take the bikes across the Venezuelan border.”
They make you conspicuous and more likely to be robbed.
I'm not sure if I want to cross at all.
He said, in the last five years,
the number of tourists who've been killed has gone up.
Shall we go back to the hotel first and think about it?
One of the smugglers was shot.
After that the Colombian smugglers and the Venezuelan military
had a serious fight.
Does it say when it happened?
Eight o'clock in the morning,
just when we arrived.
If you work 8 hours a day, you have no time to queue up.
If you're smart, you don't work for 8 hours.
You just buy...
a liter of milk, 2 kg of detergent and a bar of soap.
For a total of 180 Bolivares
Then you sell it for 1,600 Bolivars to someone
who is working 8 hours a day.
Farmers who own land and machines,
receive support from the government in the form of fuel.
But they don't use it.
Instead, they sell it abroad and earn 20 times more,
without having to invest anything.
Why don't you think there will be a revolution?
Because Chavez's government was always about revolution.
Now we've had revolution for 15 years and nothing has happened.
Yet another revolution?
People say, “Are you kidding?”
He says, that they took food and money as they pleased.
They ambushed vehicles
and passenger had to pay a 'fee'.
Are you not coming south with us?
You're going North?
Well, I'm out of money.
Who wants to be completely broke at the end of it?
How much do you need to make it to Ushuaia?
I have a different style of travel than you.
Traveling like us, would you need more or less? Less.
But we can't ride together all the time.
Not with two couples.
We can take turns.
Like an adopted son.
Hey, can you take Ingo for two weeks?
It might be good to do something apart from one another.
Then we'll have something to talk about.
Don't forget to eat.
Don't waste time on your computer.
I will earn the money we need to continue our journey.
This is great, honey.
4,000 baby, 4,000.
We're almost there.
Still 700 meters.
Oh, it's that high!
This is really sandy.
Thank you. Welcome.
This is the hut? From here it will be difficult?
Yes.
This was not that hard, eh?
We did it!
This must be a great view.
Yes, two hours ago.
Our bikes are too heavy for this kind of stunt.
But we're here.
Especially my bike.
It's ridiculous to call it "GS".
In German, “GS” means “all terrain”.
I always thought that “GS” meant, “Gigantic Snob”.
There they are.
It's snowing now...
Right. Better keep right.
I meant left. Keep left.
It's dusty around here.
He says there was a family who used to live here...
and they were found this way after all those years.
He says, "The mummies are 1,200 years old."
If they died at the same time?
He says, yes — from hunger and cold.
I asked him why they turned to mummies...
and didn't just fall apart.
He said, "Because it's dry here."
If they'd only known that...
1,200 years later, tourists would stare at them.
Weird, huh? Yes, somehow.
Yes, it's salt.
What are you doing?
I wanna know how deep this is.
The only way to test this,
are our tent poles.
Mr. Rintz needs to know, of course.
God, this is deep!
Unbelievable!
Crazy!
Not touching the bottom.
That's four meters.
Crazy. We are standing on deep water.
We're having pasta with chicken in a mushroom cream sauce.
Today I notice the altitude especially.
Tomorrow we'll reach 5,000m (16,400 ft.)
Tell me about it.
These are the last 4 or 5 days with you on this trip.
We are glad that we can ride the lagoon route together with you.
Because we have mixed feelings about the route.
I think the effort will be worth it.
Although I know that I'll curse the heavy bike and
all the luggage more than once.
I bumped my leg.
I swerved in the sand.
I held the leg out for support.
Bang! Against the engine.
That's it, isn't it?
I've earned this beer.
Farewells are unfortunately an integral part of a journey.
The crazy things, we did with you.
Yet, the good thing is
that we know we'll see each other again.
Most people you say goodbye to...
you know, you probably won't see ever again.
If the taxi driver hadn't said
that the continent ended here
I wouldn't have noticed it at all.
But true, all that comes now are only islands.
We have arrived at the end of the world.
How does it feel? Special?
It's been our goal for almost two years.
Now we are here.
Well, it's not that big...
Wow, we're here! We made it.
The journey itself is the goal. Huh?
We are at the end of the world now.
There is nothing like reaching the end.
Our ultimate destination.
The question is,
is it the end of the journey?
I am curious if they're still intact.
Oh. Damaged.
Here comes Yoli.
Is everything there?
Simply standing next to the bike,
makes me feel complete again.
We are at BMW Cape Town.
Where we can work on the motorcycles.
Daniel will. I'll watch and assist.
What needs to be done?
Hahaha. Everything.
How do you feel about half a motorcycle?
Well, so-so.
These ones I'm not sure about. Everything else I know.
Yeah, you tell me now because of the camera.
No, really!
Everything under control. Except those.
This is it... Controls are on.
It's running fine.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
Sounds great!
Duct tape.
And what's that supposed to be?
Keep left, ride left.
Tomorrow's the day.
After over three weeks, finally.
Will we make it? Will we get there?
Home?
Home.
Don't you like sitting?
Nope.
What are you doing there in the bathroom?
This is the only place that is dry
with no wind, has electricity, is not so cold
and that we can afford.
Shit!
Why do you have 3 computers available all of the sudden?
They're rendering footage.
I'm working on this. They're rendering.
We are invited by someone
who saw our movie on TV.
He settled here in Namibia 10 years ago.
And this is his computer.
Tom from QuoVadis, who showed us how to navigate properly.
With a proper navigation tool.
The kind of app we have always wanted.
What does the Angolan Embassy say?
Angola will be difficult.
Just when I arrived,
I saw another German motorcycle.
A guy and a gal on 2 motorcycles.
She had an accident and her bike is totalled.
She'll take a plane home.
Her journey is over.
They told me that you don't get the visa easily in Germany either.
Enjoy your meal!
I rode down into the Ugab and to my left,
there was an entire herd, 10 meters away.
Five elephants.
I had to turn off the engine immediately,
they already looked at me.
You got off and walked back? Yes.
Be quiet.
Go, go, go go, go. Another one.
Josie, come here.
Josie, beat it.
This is so amazing.
We are in the middle of nowhere
and there is a herd of elephants.
You can see how they keep an eye on us.
They're coming over here! They're coming over here!
Let's hide behind the bush.
Now they're coming in our direction,
where your bikes are.
I'd suggest I go back to the camp through the Ugab.
And you go back the way we came.
We'll start the engines at the same time and off we go.
We're a little too close to their...
too close to their trees.
Josie, move.
That was scary.
It's even more scary in the dark. They could be close by.
Daniel. It was a pleasure.
Same here. Thanks for everything.
Safe trip. Yeah, thanks.
Thank you. Good bye.
You need to stay here now.
Don't forget.
I'm trying. Maybe I should adjust the arrow.
I'll do it.
I got so used to driving on the left.
It seems strange to me, driving on the right side.
That's what I call a pothole.
What's wrong now?
The diode plate is busted.
The battery is not charging.
And we have only 48 hours
to drive the 600 km to the border.
After that our visa expire.
Considering the traffic and road conditions this will take us two days.
And how can we solve this problem?
We'll buy a third battery that fits into my bike.
Then we can swap back and forth.
But at some point we'll have to replace that diode plate?
Yes.
There were two loud bangs.
And then it died? Yes.
I'm rolling downhill just like in Alaska.
The other one is fully charged?
I bought a cheap gauge.
10 Euros at the Chinese shop. 13,14 volt...
Let's we hope that we'll make it to Kinshasa.
That's the question.
Here we have 11V.
We've still got 170 km to go.
I'll leave the heated grips disconnected, okay?”
You'll not need them here.
I don't use the indicators anymore.
And I also save on the brake light.
We're now standing here in the bush.
Need to watch out for Anacondas.
Steven told us that snakes can be so big,
that a truck needs to run them over ten times until they are dead.
In any case they are thigh thick as a leg.
Hurry up then.
Another one with technical problems.
Only 35°C, no shade of course.
I'm feeling dizzy from the heat.
You need to drink more water!
Didn't we spend two weeks fixing our bikes in Cape Town?
To prevent having problems in the Congo?
Tell me where we are now.
Congo.
They're all staring at us.
In Angola they waved at us.
Pretty much exhausted.
I'm curious about the kind of boat we'll be taking.
Where's this going?
I better don't...
Don't ride underneath it.
Oh no, I think the bike is stalling.
Rev it a bit higher.
Oh-oh! Potholes!
There are holes everywhere. Watch out.
Let's park in the shade.
We're supposed to be over there.
Does not seem very official.
Hello.
How are you?
What are all these guys doing here?
That's suspicious.
Don't let the tall guy help you. He's high as a kite.
Is the bike on board? Yes
I'm going down there.
They are helpful.
My bike goes on sideways?
We live on a garbage dump.
But we don't have to pay rent. That's the good thing.
Shopping is no fun. Everything is expensive.
Cheese, 8 Euros.
This one is even 12 Euros.
Again, one of those exciting moments...
Why isn't it running properly?
Do you know why it isn't working? Nope.
More?
Where it says C, that's the control line
showing the test is working.
And if another line appears under T after 15 minutes,
then it's malaria.
If not,
then, uh, it doesn't mean anything.
It looks like it's just a cold.
But the symptoms are similar.
Just say “gorillas” and they'll understand.
Is it stable?
You gotta help on this side.
You got it?
Oh, the sand is hot!
I wonder if that road continues like this.
I need some shade baby, let's keep going.
Bugger me.
I'm done.
This sucks.
I have no more energy.
Can't you talk anymore?
It must be 40 °C or something
No shade.
You're wearing earrings?
Are you a woman?
Yes!
A woman? Woman!
How much is it?
10,000. But it's negotiable.
And how much is that?
10,000, that's 15 Euros.
They show no consideration.
This is a proper jungle.
Think about all the life in there.
What time is it?
It's 5:40am, you should hurry up.
Didn't you see him waving?
I'm not a pushover.
I'll tell your parents...
at least she wasn't a pushover.
We heard about Alice when we arrived in South Africa.
All who have traveled through Africa know you.
How long have you been here?
37 years.
Do you have advice...
for anyone interested in traveling Africa?
You have to be well informed.
And the situation can change over night.
You never know, it could escalate here tomorrow.
This is Africa.
Are you talking from experience? Sure!
500 casualties in one night.
It was crazy. Shootings everywhere.
And I had guests at the time.
I turned the music up all night, so they wouldn't hear the fighting.
Crazy times.
It's strange, isn't it?
He also seems to be interested in modern medicine.
Just to be safe.
What is this? Salt?
The minerals you are losing.
It's impossible to drink enough.
Chefchaouen, last stop in Africa.
Compared to Ushuaia, this feels more like an accomplishment.
This time I feel like,
we kinda worked for this...
to be here.
3 years is a long time.
It was incredible, but also exhausting.
Especially the last year.
I'm happy to take the ferry to Spain tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to being home.
I'm done.
