PAKISTÁN EMPIEZA AQUÍ VAMOS A DESCUBRIRLO-Vuelta al mundo en moto

We’re in. We’re in Pakistan now. Isn’t that crazy? Impressive. Seriously, what a border. It turns out we’d slipped through, I mean, they hadn’t stamped our passports when we left Afghanistan. They hadn’t stamped them, and when we got there, a man stopped me, and I was thinking we were still in Afghanistan, and he started asking for the motorcycle’s papers. And I said, “What motorcycle? They didn’t give us any import documents or anything to bring the vehicle into Afghanistan,” and it turns out we were in Pakistan. They hadn’t stamped our passports when we left Afghanistan or anything. Well, the man was super nice. In Pakistan, they treated us really well, they took us to a room, gave us coffee, everything. And what happened? They were beating everyone up. They took us to this room, look, we’re in Pakistan, I mean, they didn’t show us our exit stamps, and we went through several checkpoints there, and they didn’t stamp our passports or say anything to us. Of course. And the guy was asking me for the motorcycle’s registration, and I was thinking this was still Afghanistan. No, but they haven’t issued any documents or anything. I mean, maybe they’re not understanding him correctly. Then Fernanda arrived, because this is Pakistan. So we have our passenger cards, thank goodness, and with the transit card, they’re filling it out and it looks like they’ll let us through. Yes, yes. And he was about to send us back because he was saying, “No, without the motorcycle’s registration you can’t enter with just your passport.” And I was saying, “No, but we have everything. We have the passenger card, we have the motorcycle’s registration.” He says, “Oh, okay, well then take it.” But, look, it’s a mess. They’ve put us in where the passengers and motorcycles go. They didn’t stamp our exit passports with the organized tour stamp. They didn’t say anything, but it’s not necessary anyway, right? It’s not necessary, but well, normally they stamp it there at the exit when you leave. Of course, normally there’s a checkpoint, but things aren’t normal here. You’ve seen it, right? The madness, right? And there we were , on our motorcycles, where everyone else was walking. Yes, yes. This way, this way. Well, that way when we should have gone the other way, obviously, where the trucks go. The thing is, there aren’t any cars, just trucks, and they didn’t know what to do with us. So, well, we’ll see, and we’ll tell you more later, okay? And what happened? Well, nothing much. They gave us the passenger card we had, which they require here to enter. They filled out all the documents while we were having coffee and pastries in a great VIP lounge. Then, some big shot grabbed me when we went to get the motorcycles to bring them in and said, “And the stamp?” I said, “What stamp? You didn’t put any exit stamp on it!” Well, all that, of course, trying to understand because they don’t speak any English. I went with them, and well, down a corridor was the stamp office. Well, you have to see it. I mean, a really shabby room, there was a little bench to hold the documents. There were two people sitting on the bench, and others were handing out passports and stamping them. Total discretion, they stamped our exit documents. And then another walk uphill, almost a kilometer, and that’s it. Then we were able to leave and get the motorbikes in. We’ll continue later. Well, we’ll continue later. Honey, let’s exchange money. Okay. There’s nothing here. We have to go up a mountain pass. We have two bars of gas. Well, we made it to Pesawhar. Hello, how are you? Afghanistan Pakistan. There, there, take down the Pakistani flags. We took down the little flag. Are you Muslim? No, Catholic. Catholic? Yes, Catholic. Are you in Pakistan now? My wife is. Shall we go? Can you hear me? How many cubic centimeters does this motorcycle have? CC? 1,000 CC. Goodbye. Oh no, the car’s acting up again. Oh no, my motorcycle’s acting up again. God. Let’s see if we can get to Pesarwar, or whatever that town is called, and I’ll take apart the rev limiter switch there . I think that’s it. It runs fine at low throttle, but when I open the throttle, bam, bam, bam, the ignition cuts out. They drive on the left here, in India too, so you get used to it. Exactly. See? I give it gas and the motorcycle stops, it stops, it stops. God. I hope there aren’t too many hills, you know? Man, there aren’t many kilometers left really. 53? 53 km from Pesawha. Yeah, not much mountain and it’s flat, man, there’s this part now where we’re going to go. I open the gas and he stops me, but we’re going really slowly so… From Spain. Okay, that’s it. Let them pass, we stop right here, right? Or we go in there? So they don’t stop us anymore. Hello. We’re going to turn left, aren’t we? Yes, we’re going to turn left. Yes, because all the cars are going to be stopping here and they’re going to crash, or they’ll hit us. Right. Exactly. Now here in the shade. God, it’s so hot today. I think my battery is dying now. Ah, here comes this guy, we’re going to have a heart attack. They’re roasting the chicken here. Well, that’s half a chicken. And there we have the whole chicken. No, Spain. No rice. Very good, Pakistan. It looks good, but everything’s a bit of a hassle, like chaos in Spain. Vicente’s making friends. Anyway, we’re heading to a hotel I marked on Google Maps now. It looks like a decent hotel. I hope it exists. We’ve been to quite a few, but the thing is, oh my god. I mean, we’re pretty adaptable. We sleep in places that, well, for many people would be too much, but as long as it’s clean, it doesn’t matter if it’s basic, even if it’s not fully equipped, if the bed’s on the floor, it’s fine, but dirty and with bugs? This is too much. I marked one now, it looks good. I saw a picture and it looks alright. The thing is, of course, many times Google Maps shows the hotel, but then when you get there it’s not there. They’ve closed it, they’ve changed it, something. We took a detour because there was so much traffic on the main road, so well, this way we’re going around a bit more, but there’s less traffic. There are loads of mosques, so many, so many. But sometimes, I mean, they’re just places where people can pray, that’s it. There’s no minaret or anything. Prayer halls. Yes, they call Pakistan the terrorist factory. There are more than 43 terrorist groups here. The Taliban are here too. Let’s hope we don’t run into any more. We’ve had enough of the Taliban. The country’s a mess, isn’t it, honey? You see how much poverty there is. My God. Well, at least what we’ve seen. Then there are some nice places in the cities, in the big cities, there are good areas, but come on, that’s the bare minimum. The rest is… it’s pitiful. So much filth, so much. That’s independent of whether people are clean or not, regardless of poverty, there’s trash everywhere. In Oman, we’ve been to places where people were, well, poor, but there was no trash at all. In fact, I think it’s been the cleanest country in the Middle East we ‘ve been to, right? I hope the hotel exists, is that it on the right? Let’s hope so. Phew! It’s chilly, isn’t it? Yeah, 13 degrees out of 20 last night. It’s going to get this bad tonight, and if we don’t find a place here, we’ll have to camp somewhere. It’s tough. It’s all so crowded. Where are we going to camp, honey? By the river? Because I haven’t seen anywhere. And even less so at night. Hello , 3,500 rupees. Well, guys, one of the most important moments of our trip has arrived. We’ve waited a long time for this. What’s wrong with your hair? It’s okay, it’s what we’ve had to go through to get here, and well, it’s time to do it, and we think there’s no better occasion than this. Exactly. So … we’re going to eat some ham! Oh, our friend Esteban brought us some in Iran when he came with us, and we saved this one for when we left Afghanistan. We saved it. It doesn’t exist. I reserved it after a lot of arguing because he wanted to eat it. I told him, “No, look, we’ll eat it when we leave Afghanistan with all our limbs ready for the next country. So the time has come. Besides, we’re hungry. The idea was to eat it with a beer, but that’s asking too much, and we’re hungry. Yes. So Esteban, thank you, we’re going to enjoy it a lot. In your honor. And you know, if you want to come with us, either you bring ham and cheese or we won’t let you in. Just kidding. But it’s better if you bring it. But if you bring it, even better, okay? Come on, let’s eat it. Ham in Pakistan. Look at the bench. The bench.” The man’s bench. Oh my God. Honey, bend down and see how you sit. Come on, go ahead. If I bend down like this, I won’t be able to stand up. No, but come on, try it. Go on. Flat feet. Flat feet. Look, look. I can do this at most; if I put my heels back, like they do, you’ll fall over. I don’t know how they bend so much. He’s changing the front tire because it ‘s very worn. He’ll put on the one I had, and the Tenere will have the MotoZ GPS, which is still in very good condition. Ah, it’s here. We’re here. Well, there are people, but not that many, so it’s good. I’m glad people aren’t crowding around us like in Afghanistan. We went there to buy a Zong brand SIM card, which they say is very good. Let’s hope so. And each SIM cost us 1000 rupees, which would be 4 Euros for the SIM with 10 GB of data. And then we bought separate 40GB SIMs each, which would be plus 1000 rupees, so the SIM with 50GB is 8 Euros each. Very good price. This is the apprentice, right? It’s the apprentice, honey. I don’t think so. Uh, the apprentice, he says. Well, back there’s a restaurant with fried food, I mean, it makes you want to try it, but it’s also scary. The apprentice. I’m not sure, though. Well, it’s a bit complicated because the tire is very hard and they’re not used to those. They’re used to tires like this one, which is like a thin, softer bike tire, but with Motoz, it’s as hard as it is tough. My goodness. He’s taking the tire off the rim. They take it off the rim by hand, pressing down. But it’s difficult, isn’t it? Yes, I should help, because I hadn’t taken the valve off, so even after taking the valve off, there’s always some air left. He’s taken it off now. Of course, they’re used to the tires on these little mopeds, which are like a bicycle. Look at the workbenches they sit on, not the big one, but this little one. Impressive how flexible they are when the tire is properly loosened, isn’t it? Let’s see, honey, how’s it? It’s wrecked like this. We really liked this one. It has a knobby tread. One isn’t too strange. This one ‘s leaking oil. Let’s see if it goes in better this way. Here’s Vicente’s little bum. None of the workbenches are working now, they’re a disaster. Let’s call a spade a spade. Where else do you go to change a tire? Here they always serve you tea. Spain should learn from this hospitality they have here. Have a drink. If something happens to you, well, the hospitality they have in these countries, whenever you go to a workshop, they immediately serve you tea, some pastries at the hairdresser’s, the same thing, and on top of that, the moment you arrive, you drop what they’re doing and they do it for you. Europe. A marvel. From Europe. How’s the tea? How does it taste? Awesome. Really good. He just loves milk. I’m not a big fan of milk. I’m not too scared. I tell him two plus two. He does this. Okay. He doesn’t have a gauge. Well, whenever you change a tire in one of these countries, be very careful because they’ll put the tire on backwards. It goes on the same, but the ABS doesn’t work. You have to check where the ABS sensor is so it lines up with the ABS sensor on the rim because it’s happened to us before. Okay, my bike’s odometer reads 1000 km less. Yes, you always have to be very careful about that because these bikes don’t usually have ABS. Wait, expensive, isn’t it? How much do you think they’re going to charge us? At most, at most. 2 euros, which would be 500 rupees. They were already leaving it, they were already leaving the brake caliper loose. You can’t leave the bike, and do n’t even think about it. Always stay on top of it and check everything. How much is it? 300 rupees, 1 Euro. Thank you, thank you. Uh, 1 euro and very little. Very good. Let’s eat. Well, let’s exchange some money. Yes, exchange some money. I’m going to check the tire pressure. Well, this fruit cost us 1 euro. I’ve used up the tire. I had almost 4 kg of pressure in it. It was going to burst, this thing of eyeballing it. We’re in front of a mosque and I think I’m dressed too lightly because the man didn’t even want to talk to me. I mean, to give me the shopping bag he put it on the ground for me to pick up. This is very close to Afghanistan. Well, the women too, look, all wearing burkas, not all of them, but many, very covered up. We just bought some fruit and the man didn’t I handed it to him, I left it on the ground. The problem is, it’s all very spicy, and well, look at all the potholes. The irrigation ditches run underneath, they’re riddled with holes, but you always have to watch your step because it’s incredibly easy to fall into one. Yeah, yeah. This is like Afghanistan. I mean, the ditches run all over there and they stink. Look at all the filth. Imagine if you draw water from a well here, how it must come out. All that filth comes up. Imagine when it overflows, all that filth in the street. Here, we drive on the left. I have to keep reminding myself. Well, look at the carpenters here making beds. They work in sections. It seems the motorcycle is running well. Yesterday I cleaned the contacts, took apart the switch assembly, and checked the battery contacts and everything. I spoke with Aurelio from Honda Towca. He told me that, yes, it seems to be an electrical fault, a bad connection somewhere. It could be the battery ground, or the ignition cut-off switch or the ignition key. What a mess they’ve got going on here. Look at the irrigation ditch. Goats walking through the muck . Almost all the women are wearing burkas. Look at the little girls with their headscarves. At least they’re getting sick because there’s quite a bit of pollution here. And they’ll irrigate with that water from the ditch over there. Oh, girl. Poor thing. Something really strange happened to me. I’m here waiting for Vicente to go exchange money, and out of nowhere, three suspicious police officers appear, right? Suspicious of something, I don’t know. They come to talk to us, ask us where we’re staying, where we’re going, where we’re from. We’ve been staying at the Grand Hotel and now we’re going to Chitral, and then they just stand there staring like nothing’s wrong. Well, let’s go then, thank you very much. Goodbye. Oh, maybe it’s because my hair was uncovered. Well, it could be. We’re in Pesawha. We’re heading north to Pakistan. This man is going to give her money. Poor little children. They’re only two years old . Poor little angel. Let’s go over there. We’ll exit back here. Okay, bye. This is gas. Well, look at that sign up there. They’ve painted the woman’s face. This also happened in Afghanistan. And we’ve seen it before when there’s an advertising sign and you can see the woman’s face, or she’s not wearing a headscarf, they cover her face, and if she’s wearing a short-sleeved shirt or something with a low neckline, they cover everything up, they paint it over. They had sent us to another gas station. Apparently, motorcycles don’t get gas here, but in the end, the other guy said, “Yes, yes,” and he gave us gas. But the motorcycles that are coming in are being sent somewhere else. Fernanda is asking if we can get gas. Only cars. And where do motorcycles get gas? 5000 and 1000. Here, take it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Let’s go. Are you here yet? Look, they’re pumping here. Ah, here’s another checkpoint for motorcycles. Let’s take a look. There’s the Pakistani flag. Welcome to Peshawar. It’s a police checkpoint, we’ll get through here without any problem. There. No, no, there. This way is fine, huh? It’s fast this way. Light vehicles. Oh, look, Bike is on the other side. Motorcycles were over there. I didn’t know that. They didn’t stop me. Did they stop you? Okay, I’ll wait for you up here. Down below, when you come out, I’ll wait for you here. Did they say anything to you? Nothing. No. Australia. Is this the way? Yes. Yes. Where are you going? To Australia. Well, this looks more civilized than Afghanistan. Well, it depends on the area, because the neighborhoods are exactly the same. These police officers, it seems like they’re from Granada. They wear the same uniform, at least the cap is the same. Well, here the police take the cars away with a small bull bar. The other day, of course, I saw a small bull bar painted with the police here. God, how strange. Is it for roadworks or something? No, it’s not to tow the cars. They lift it with the forklift and take it away. There you go. The children, the luggage, my wife is beside herself. Come on. They tell us that motorcycles can’t go on highways. We have to avoid highways. Visa, here, darling, here’s my Visa. Sir, do you speak Spanish? No, no . Miss, miss. Well, we’ve been here with all these people having tea, they’re super nice. The policeman gave me his phone number. The commander said if we have a problem, to call him. But we can’t go on the highway. How are you, darling? Hi, darling. You put the route, then I’ll put mine, okay? I’ll send you the photo. You should go towards GB too. There’s a link from there. There are two; the second one is better for enjoying the Karakoram Highway. Well, without a special permit, which I don’t know where to get, you can’t go, but anyway, they’ve been super nice to us. They brought us coffee, we had a good laugh there. Very nice, really, what a difference in police from one place to another. The truck on the right has the cow below and the people above. These ones on the left. Yes, here they’re all mixed together. Look how these ones are hitched up with the cows. There are 8 or 9 of them and the cow. The school bus. Look at how it is. Look how the man manages to keep his hats one on top of the other and he doesn’t fall off, huh? The chicken market. There are stalls below and above, but they’re different, huh? So, to find anything here, you have to keep looking up and down. Look at those bundles of cables; they’re electrical. Check it out. There were water pipes and other electrical pipes. Look at that! Welcome to the land of tourist hospitality. The scenery isn’t bad. The thing is, you have to be so focused on the road that I don’t even have time to look around. All the girls come from school now, all classmates, even the little ones, they wear them. Look at how this one is sitting there. They just love it. I mean, they’re more comfortable like that than with their feet dangling. He has good balance and flexibility. You see, when it rains, there’ll be a waterfall there. There must be water flowing down there that’s scary. Come on. Yes. Incredibly. There’s water there. Here there must be, wait, I’m going to stop. Snow, come behind the white one, be careful, it’s slippery ! What happened? Did a camera turn off? Yours, huh? Mine, of course. Damn, this is slippery. Holy shit, this is slippery. Yes. Careful, careful. Oh my god, another car. Of course, it’s ice, huh? Careful, careful. Wow. Uh, how slippery. It’s freezing. Chicken paradise. Fernanda wants a chicken. A pint of it has to be spicy. Come on, we’re not visible. Don’t bite, it has a red, a reddish color from the spice. Hello, Italian? No, Spain is for warming it up. Hello, how are you? Fine. Spain? Yes, Spain. By motorbike? Yes . Are you far from here or what? We’re going to Chitran, we’re going to India Pakistan India. Do you want some tea? No, thank you, we don’t have time, thank you, thank you. Yes, we want to have some tea. How are you, darling? Are you there yet? It’s getting like a circus here. Are we there? The traffic jam is getting bigger. Have you tied up the chicken? Okay, let’s go. Okay. Goodbye, goodbye. Normally there are nine in a tuk-tuk. This one has six, right? Yes. Normally in Tic Tacs there are three in the back, three on the other side of the seat, and three in the front. Nine. But sometimes they squeeze in four or five more. Hey. What the heck is this? Holy shit, you won’t believe it. A truck, look how they’ve loaded it up. Amazing. Come on. We stopped here at this nut shop to buy some. We bought walnuts and almonds. A kilo of walnuts in their shells was €2.50 and a kilo of almonds was almost €3. Well, we sharpened our knives. The man wouldn’t charge us anything. They’re so sharp, you know? If we get carried away, we’ll cut off a finger. Come on, Cario. In general, Muslims are very helpful, kind, and generous. Their religion has a very strong influence.
