Kpalime, Togo
Season 7 - Episode 58 Good morning Internet, it is five past
eight in the morning and welcome back to the channel Welcome here in the Kpalime in Togo Another day, another ride Alaska is already packed and ready to go So I'm now right here in Kpalime and I don't wanna cross immediately through Togo. That will be very short, so I'm going to explore also the northern part of Togo So for today.. I'm gonna end up somewhere close to Badou. So I'm just gonna ride here This should all be mountains I think and then I want to spend the night somewhere over here Alright Yeah, distance wise I've been kind
of doing shorter rides lately I like to do around 200 - 250 at most Today is even a little bit shorter but I'm expecting that the roads will be pretty challenging So I think, it will be a good distance or a fair distance still I think, just because you have to be watching the road so carefully all the time Like even on tarmac, you have to watch traffic. There's goats everywhere There's all sorts of animals on the road There's potholes Eh.. how much? 50 francs
- 50 francs Hello ma'am Hello Your bike is nice hey! Ah thank you Thank you Yes, yes, petrol? How many kilometers? Two.. three Three? Okay, okay perfect Ok, thank you very much Oh! Oh no Goodbye! Okay, there is some essence. I need fuel, I need fuel Okay, three kms, that's fine Petrol.. Not here? Ah.. okay He says, not here Now the thing is.. .. I still haven't found a fuel station Just gonna see if I can find one Badou Okay, there should be one in Badou I should be able to make that Hi! 'Cause I don't want to buy From those bottles Bye! Wah! Look at that! That's where I'm heading Up in the mountains, I think Oh, this is gonna be good I still have half a tank so I should
make it 100 kms Ah, this is gonna be beautiful! And I believe Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe these are called the Togo mountains Which kind of would make sense right? I think so Oh, look at these mountains Isn't this beautiful? Oh! Amazing! Look at my navigation! Ohh! Any motorcyclist will be happy to see these lines Has to be. Although on dirt this is always a little bit different than on tar Awesome here! Look at this! What a surprise. I did not see this coming I mean, I thought okay, I'm gonna ride in the mountains It's gonna be good But I didn't know it was going to be this beautiful Getting closer to the top here Oie! There are some dark clouds coming I can smell the rain in the air Oh, some very dark clouds even And the wind is picking up Maybe, I should find some shelter.. because it's probably gonna come down soon Yeah, it's starting to rain Maybe, I'll wait it out a little bit I can buy some peanuts Hello! How are you? Oof How much? 50 francs 50 francs How many do you want? Eh.. two Where are you going like that? Now? Ah.. It's called.. Badou Badou Yeah Badou and after.. Tomegbé Tomegbé

Incredible I think I'm back at the paved roads Or I suspect that it's paved Yes It's what I thought Now it's not far to Badou anymore Hello Petrol? Petrol? Okay (Laughing) Okay Goodbye No more fuel anxiety I'm just gonna.. ... Go to my destination because I don't want to stay here in Badou There is a waterfall not far from here like eight kilometers And there should be a guest house there So my plan Was to check out the waterfall and stay there the night I go to waterfall.. waterfall Waterfall My camera? Take it off? I take off This is my GPS This not video This is.. Am I not allowed to come here, or? I am not allowed to come here, or..? Is this restricted, or..? This not camera This is not a camera Where do you come from? Netherlands You come from where? Netherlands You let see the picture you take in here I want to go see the waterfall Waterfall We like to see the picture that you take But this is not.. this is not connected This is my GPS After checking what I filmed, I get my camera back Oof.. There should be.. an guest house Somewhere here, a guest house Anyone see it? To the left here Hi Hello! Eh.. guest house? Ah okay Thank you Ah here Oopa Thank you It's pretty basic but it's fine That's my room, it's not very big See, so I have like a bathroom here and then here is my bed And I can actually see Alaska through the window She is parked over there So now the plan is to see if I can eat some lunch here and then I'm gonna hike to the waterfall Spaghetti and omelette I thought the waterfall was quite close, but they say it's a 40 minute hike So it's actually ,a little bit far Um, also I think too far to go on my own. So um, I'm going with a guide Actually, I don't know if the guide
is mandatory But I think it's.. it's a good idea to go with someone Because it's apparently quite a bit of a hike So I'm trying to sort that out. Um, to go there this afternoon, to walk to the waterfall and back These are the cacao pods Yeah They're growing a lot of different types of produce here Ah, yeah Old cacao pod Ah, papaya Yeah Very big avocados From.. .. Which tree? That one? That's the avocado tree? Yes Ah, it's a big tree I never even knew that It's like I'm climbing a vertical wall We just came from there
- Slow - Slowly, yes These are baby millipedes That is a huge spider Ohh! Ha ha ha Eeeew! Oeh Alright, that was the waterfall What an amazing place and a really awesome hike to get here Um, so I'm gonna hike back now So I'm gonna end this video That was it for today I really hope you like this video If you did please give me a big thumbs up.
