Unreal First Impressions of The Garden Route 🇿🇦 vA6-S2

(Outeniqua Pass, South Africa) – Hello! – Hey! Hey, how are you going? Do you need a push? – No, it’s okay,
it’s okay. I’ll make it slowly, slowly. – Sorry, I don’t wanna… My granddaughter said
I must just take a photo and… – Okay. – All right,
thanks! – You’re welcome! – Hello! How are you? – Hello! Good.
How are you? – I’m good, I’m good. – Oh, it’s okay. Thank you.
I have enough food. – Are you sure? – Yeah, I’m… It’s okay. Thank you!
But thank you… – How are you going? – …very much! Okay. Yeah.
– Yeah, it’s… – That’s good. I’m glad. Sorry, my partner and I
have been following you, so… – Okay. It’s okay. It’s fine.
– You’re enjoying yourself so far? – Yes. – That’s good. – Yeah,
South Africa is very pleasant. – It’s a beautiful country, eh?
– It’s very beautiful. Yeah. – I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
– A bit too hilly around here, though. But… – Oudtshoorn is very, very hot. – Yeah. – And you can be glad
you didn’t come earlier because… – Yeah. – …you would’ve died. – Definitely. – Do you mind
if I take a photo? – No, it’s okay. – Thank you! Enjoy your travel!
– Thank you! Have a good day! Bye-bye! Oh man, I am starting
to feel exhausted, actually. Oh my god. This is hard. I’ve been climbing
all day long so far, almost. Outeniqua Pass. I’m not far from the summit now.
I think the summit is up there. Putain. What the hell? This is deep in the pain. It’s good that I left some weight
to my mother because with my full load, there’s no way I could make it today. Sometimes I have
the impression that the motor, that the non-working motor
adds resistance to my pedaling. I don’t know. It’s weird. Look at this view, guys! That’s a great sign to see.
It’s gonna be 10 easy kilometers. Oh man! Oh, I can’t stand. What an ordeal! What an ordeal it was. Okay, I need to cover myself,
put some water in my bottle. Oh, yes! Oh, we can see the ocean already.
Wow! Incredible. Look at this place! Hello! – Hey! Hello, hello! How are you?
– Thank you! I’m good. How are you? – Fine. And you? – Very good.
– A very long race? – Ah? – A long race? – Yeah, it’s a very long race. Yes.
– From where are you coming? – Today from Oudtshoorn.
– Oudtshoorn? – Oudtshoorn. Yeah. – Yo! – Originally, you are coming
from where? – France. – From France? – France?! – Yes. – You’re traveling with this? – Yes.
– All the way from Joburg? – Now. – Yeah. From France. – Now. Not from France
but… – Just from Oudtshoorn? – With this. – Oudtshoorn? – Today from Oudtshoorn.
– Yeah. – With this? – Yeah. – Okay. – But I came from France with this, also. – So, where are you gonna sleep
tonight? – After George. – After George? – After George. – Knysna? – Yeah.
– Yeah. – No, before Knysna, probably. I don’t know. I’ll see. – Ah, it’s just
too far. – Wilderness, Wilderness. – Wilderness. – Yeah, yeah. – Wilderness. – You must enjoy your race, brother.
– Maybe… – Thank you! – Yeah. Yeah. – Enjoy! – Thank you very much. – Yeah,
yeah. You must enjoy the view, man. It’s gonna get busy now on the road
there. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – You mustn’t wait too much. – Yeah,
I’m gonna watch the view and then… – Yeah, yeah. – …hit the road. – Yeah.
Yeah. – So, thank you. – All right. Have a safe trip. – Thank you! – All right,
all right. – Have a good day! – All right. The same to you. Bye! – Bye-bye! – Yeah. – Look at this view, guys.
I don’t even need to… Ah, that’s beautiful! Incredible. Look at that!
The beautiful green mountains. And the Indian Ocean in the distance
with George. Ah, what a place! Ah, I deserve this view, I think. Ah, man. Let’s go down.
I don’t have much time today. Bye-bye! What a place, man! What a place. It’s very funny. The guy
was like, “You came from France. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.” You could see he did not believe
a single word I was saying. Oh man. It’s very funny. – Hello, man! – Hello! Hello! And here we are in George!
Here we have a small stadium. – Hi! – Hello! – Ah, good, good?
– How are you? – Good, good, man. – Ah, we are fine. – And you?

take a picture. Yo, that’s nice. Thank you! Goodbye! – Thank you

and to ambush me on the road. – Yes, yes. – Is it so? – Yeah. Not everyone is nice. Yeah. – Yeah. – But the vast majority
of people are very nice. – Very nice. Yes. – That’s for sure. – How did you
survive it? – I figured out the plan. So I told them I was gonna go

doing anything. – No. – Not at all? Shu. – If… No. If… – Anything
that one can do to support you? – Some people support me
through my videos. Yeah. But that’s all. I just show what happened
to me on the road, what happens to me. I just show… – And then we can do it
online? Can we…? – Oh, yes, yes. You can support me online. Yeah,
yeah. – So we can support you online. – Yes, yes. If you want to support me,
it’s possible online. Yeah, there is… – Absolutely! – There…
I have a Patreon and… Yeah. On YouTube, I think you can
also support. I have on my… Under my videos, I put a Patreon. – Yes. – So there is… And there,
some people do support me. Yeah, yeah. But I don’t actively promote. – Yes.
– I don’t actively ask for it. – Yes. – I put the platform because I know… Well, it’s better for me
if some people want to support me. So they can support me, but… – Yes.
What got you to do this? – I like it. I enjoy seeing the world, seeing
how people are in different places. – You’ve been doing it for four years. – Yes, four years. Yeah. – So,
almost every day you’re on the road. – No, not almost every day. Then
I need to work, edit the videos. It takes a lot of time. – Yes. – So, two-
thirds of the time is editing the videos. – Okay. – And one-third is on the tricycle. – Oh, that’s incredible. You’ve
just bowled me over. – Awesome. – I was just at the restaurant
waiting for a meal. – Yeah. – And luckily, I was in the car. And then I saw you. I was like,
“No, I saw this man in George.” – What the hell is he doing?
– And I was on the phone. And I was telling someone about you.
I just said, “I see this man on the road. I wonder what he’s doing.
He seems to be up to something.” But really, how do you navigate
the roads here coming here? – I have an offline map, so… – Really?
– I have a GPS. – But with the roadworks. – Sometimes, it’s a little bit…
Like the last hill. – Yeah. – The small hill. – Yes. – Yeah. It’s not very pleasant
because there are many cars. They all overtake you.
I created a big traffic jam. – Yeah. – But what can you do?
– But I think people love you. – Yeah, it’s okay in the end.
The people are nice on the road here. It’s okay. – Okay. All the best
on the… – Thank you very much! Yeah, have a good evening!
– Thank you! Bye! – Bye-bye! Oh my god, what an arrival! Is my mother here? I think she’s here.
Yeah. Oh, f*/*/*. Oh, this is steep. Ah? – [FR] I don’t know where you went.
– What do you mean? – I saw you. You didn’t see me? – No. – Ahhhhh!
I waved at you, and you turned. – Ah, I don’t know. I followed
my GPS. I didn’t see you. Then people were talking to me.
You were looking for me? – Yeah, I thought, “Where did he go?”
I waved at you, and you turned. Go ahead. I’ll open for you.
– Some people were talking to me. – I was looking for you. I thought,
“He disappeared.” – [EN] She was… – #10. – [FR] What? – 10! – 10? Okay.
[EN] She was looking… She saw me. She waved at me. I did not see her. And then I talked to people.
You’ve seen it. So she was like… She was looking
for me all around the town. Nice! So tonight,
we’ve got a fancy apartment. That was kind of
the only option with… I like it when we both
have our rooms. Wow. So yeah, we went
a little bit fancy today. Oh, there is a washing machine. Oh, yes. Look at my clothes
being washed! This is luxury, guys. Stop. We made it! So… Thank you very much! [FR] What
is it? – I don’t know. Chicken and… I don’t know what. Spicy. – [EN] Chicken?
Chili chicken. She bought me some… It’s very funny because I didn’t know,
but she’s very camera-shy. So she sees the camera. So she quietly
walks around to go behind the camera. Very good. So it’s good.
It’s good. [FR] Thank you, mom! – I took this out
cuz it was written “dangerous”. I think that the person, the one
doing… I’ll tell you later. [FR] He forgot things
in the washing machine. – Really? – Yes, it was full. – [EN] Let’s go to visit the apartment,
guys. Oh, look at that. That’s funny. It’s open up there.
There is… Oh, wow! Look at that. Oh, so that’s the main entrance. Let’s see the entrance, the inside
of a fancy, fancy, fancy apartment. Look at that! Oh, wow! Beautiful kitchen. My mother has her wine. For me,
I don’t drink much wine because… Yeah, I’m not gonna be able to ride
the next day if I drink too much wine. A small balcony with an electric fence
1 m away. Look at this place! Beautiful! It’s a pity we’re only staying
one night here. And the rooms. It’s a big, big place. I think
there are three rooms. Here, the first room.
Oh my god, that’s beautiful. That’s very beautiful. So we paid, I think, a bit less
than $80 for two people. Very clean bathroom.
Oh my god, it’s all fancy. I mean, I guess for this price,
for such a big… Oh my god! Holy moly! That’s awesome. I guess we’re both gonna have
a very beautiful room. Look at the roof; I mean,
I guess for this price, such a thing… it’s quite cheap
for such a big thing. And the third room. Oh my word! Laundry basket. Another beautiful
and clean shower and toilet. Look at that! Some other tourists
there. Some surfers apparently. Nice place! Welcome to Wilderness! Hopla! Let’s go see the beach
before sunset. Look at this place, guys. Look at this. All the fog. And… Here we come to the… Oh la
la la la. Here we come to the… The Garden Route. Wilderness. What a place! What a place. Look at that. It’s true
you do feel the wilderness. Look at all the fancy
tourist accommodations. South Africa is quite something! Wow! Okay, guys, so here was
a quick look, a quick first glimpse, at the Garden Route of South Africa. What an incredible place! See you
for the next adventures! Ciao, guys!

After meeting the lovely owners of the restaurant that makes one of the best pizzas in South Africa, I finish climbing Outeniqua Pass and then I enjoy a delightful scenic descent to George and then to Wilderness. As I arrive in Wilderness, I am shocked by the sheer beauty of the famous Garden Route.
