The Best Indian Breakfast in Africa vA 139
(Livingstone, Zambia) - Morning, my friends, from Livingstone in Zambia! I've got a new seat, guys. Let's go! - Oh, you're leaving. - Yeah, I'm leaving. Yes. Ah? - I mean... - Thank you very much! - You're not gonna have tea? - Ah? No, it's... Ah, it's okay. Don't worry. I'll have some breakfast in town. - Oh, you're passing in town. - Yes, yes, yes. - Well, Mister Yves,
It's been a pleasure hosting you here. - Thank you very much! It's been a pleasure staying here as well. Yeah. - All right. Thanks for coming! We'll see you. - Thank you very much for keeping my bike. - Yeah. - And... Yeah, good luck to you, man. Yeah. - Oh, thank you... - Thank you... - ... very much.
- ...very much for everything. Yeah. - Safe travel. - You too. Thank you! Yeah. - Bye. - Bye-bye! - Bye-bye. - From a very nice lodge, Thorn Tree, here in Livingstone.
So, the first challenge of the day. Let's go to find breakfast in town and... We have elephant territory to cross first. You see? That's elephant dung. And the elephants come a lot around here, actually. Very often.
Thorn Tree House. That's where I was. Down to the left is Vic Falls, and we are going to the right. Hello! We're going to the right. We're going back to Livingstone and then to Botswana today, guys! And that's the Maramba Bridge on the Maramba River. No elephants today here. That's where the lodge is.
And there are very often elephants around here. But today, luckily for me, no elephants because yesterday... Oh, man! Yesterday was a disaster. You could see the local... Oh my God! They are just in front. Holy moly. Yeah. Apparently, the elephants don't like bicycles, and the locals transport goods on bicycles a lot. Basically, all the locals dropped their bicycles just here, and ran for their lives when they met the elephants.
But the elephants are actually crossing the road just ahead. Let's see what happens. There are so many. Hello! - Hello. - Hey. - How are you? Sorry, guys. I'm not gonna risk my life to film the elephants close by.
- Man, you'd better wait! - Yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh my God, they are just here. There is one here (in the bush). Should I go, or should I wait? - Oh my God. - Go back! - Yeah. I have to go back. - Don't get close to elephants. - Yeah, yeah. I don't see... Yeah. I have to go back. There is one still very close to the road.
Okay. Let's just wait. Hello! Sorry? - Are you looking for the elephants? - No, no. I'm going this way, but they are too close to the road. - Okay. - They don't like bicycles. So I have to wait until they are further away. - Okay. - It's a nice bicycle.
- Nice bicycle? - Yeah, thank you! - Yes. Thank you. Oh, do you see? There is one here. I have to wait and be ready to run. Okay, so all the locals dare to pass. Oh my God. - Careful, my friend! - Ah? - Careful! - Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know. Yeah. So... But there is still one eating. Oh my God. But they're still just behind in the bush.
Oh, man! I'm stuck because of the elephants. - Let me pass. - So all the locals dare again to pass.
Let's go. - Are you fast enough? - Ah? - Are you fast enough? - Yes! So apparently, you have to go fast. So let's go fast.
See, you have all the branches from the elephants. The car is too slow, man. Yes! I made it across.
I made it across the elephant corridor. Oh my God! Okay, now the next mission — find breakfast, find a nice breakfast to go to Botswana. - Hello! - Hello! Hello! - Yeah, hello! - Crescent Lodge. There is an Indian restaurant here. Let's see if we can try... Let's see if we can try to have an Indian breakfast to change...
Let's see if it's open. Hello! - Hi, my friend. - How are you? - All right. - I love that one. - You love that one? - Yes! - How many kilometers are you going? - Yeah.
- I go to Botswana now. - You go to... Just in this way? - Yes. - You're not gonna be tired? - Ah? I'm going to be tired. Yes. How are you? - I'm fine. How are you, sir? - Good, good.
- I like this. - The restaurant is open, you know? - It is open. - It is open. Okay, great. You want to take a picture? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.
Skinny, why don't you take a picture? So this can go as... - Yeah, it's like a bicycle. - Yeah. - So what do you do when you reach dangerous zones like the national parks where there are elephants? - Well, I met elephants just here.
- What do you do? - I stop, and I wait until they go away. - Yeah, help me with the picture. - Yes. - Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, like this. Perfect. Nice one. - Nice. - Yeah, all right. Thank you so much. - You're welcome!
Have a good day! - Okay. How many kilometers...? Where did you start from? - France. - You started from France? - Yes. - Where ending for? - Cape Town. - Oh! Cool. Enjoy. - Thank you! - Thank you. - Hello! Let's go to the restaurant. So, Livingstone is quite fancy actually.
It is full of lodges and quite a few nice restaurants as well. Hello! You are open? - Yes. - Yes? Okay, good. I take the menu. I wait outside. - Okay. - Do you have breakfast? - Yes. - Okay. Let's sit in the sun, guys. You see, they have continental... They have Indian style... Let's have an Indian-style breakfast. Puri Bhaji. I don't remember what's that.
Good morning. - Good morning. - So I'll get one Bombay omelet, one Puri Bhaji. And do you have juice? Which juice do you have? - Juice? Sorry. Let me check. I'll let you... - Okay. Okay. - You don't want tea? - Ah? - You don't want tea? - Do you want to see...? Oh, to see the juices? - Tea.
- Oh, tea. No, no, just a juice. Look at this beautiful garden along the main road of Livingstone. And I need to present you actually my new stuff, because I've come back from France just now. I spent a month, about five weeks, in France.
And I've got a lot of new stuff. Look at this! Very... This is awesome. This very... I've got a new seat. So a very comfy seat, you see? With cushions. Ah, this is gonna be fantastic for my back. And it's so comfortable. When I tried... In the shop where I bought my bike, when I tried the seat, I... In two seconds, I decided to buy it.
Absolutely fantastic. And I got new... You know I also had problems with the crank that had no teeth inside anymore. So, I've got new crank arms. Now, they seem to be working perfectly fine.
I've got new pedals as well because actually this pedal, the left one, was almost broken. And I've got pedal extenders as well, which are gonna be really good for me in general, for my hip, for my knees as well because now it's... I'm gonna pedal very straight, so it's... This is the pedal extender. It's gonna be a nice, a very nice, help for my general comfort, I guess, riding. See, I've got a new bottle. I've got a new bottle thing. I've got a new pannier, a handlebar pannier.
I've got a new mattress, a new fancy helmet to fight against the elephants and the lions in Botswana. And I've got a new horn again. And I'm happy to be back on the road. Thank you. So which juice do you have?
- For fresh, we only have the papaya. - Papaya? Okay, I'll get a papaya juice. - Okay. - Thank you. Look at this gigantic breakfast, guys. Oh, yeah. Puri is this. There is no food on the way. So I have to eat for the whole day, basically, now.
Let's start with the fancy Bombay omelet, fancy Indian omelet. Oh, yes. Oh, it's so good. Oh, that's good. A really good omelet. Very spicy.
Let's try this Puri Bhaji. It looks like a very spicy curry with some fried bread. Oh, it's so good. Oh, yes. It's really, really good.
What a better way to start the day than with a delicious Indian breakfast? For me, Indian cuisine is the best in the world in terms of breakfast. I just love Indian breakfast. Indian breakfasts — sorry — because they have so many different kinds of breakfasts.
Oh, that's so good. Well, that's really delicious. Thank you very much. - You're welcome. - She looked at me like, "What is this guy doing, screaming, having breakfast?" Oh, this is fantastic.
Let's eat it at least once properly. The proper Indian way. Yes. This curry is awesome. It's good to be back vlogging, to be back on the road. Enjoying life for real. Oh! Oh, this seat is unbelievable, guys.
Let's go! Let's go to Botswana! Hello! So today, 77 kilometers to Kasane, just after the border, in Botswana, near Chobe National Park, one of the most beautiful national parks in Africa, I think. Let's go! That's the fancy old train. You can actually book a ticket to go to see the falls on the train, I think. I think you get to see the falls. You get to go on the bridge that links Zambia to Zimbabwe. $200. - Long way! - Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! - Yeah, long way, long way, long way! - Long way, long way! Yes, yes! So you see with the pedal extenders, my legs are more in a natural position to pedal. So it should be better, hopefully. Hello! Hello. Beautiful trees in the cemetery. Hello. - How are you doing? - Local buses.
- Hello, hello! - Hello, hello, hello! Hello! - How is Africa? - Good, good, good! - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kazungula! That's the border. The only quadruple border in the world, where you have Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. They all meet in Kazungula. Hello.
Good morning! - Good morning. - How are you? - Fine. How are you? - Do I stop here? - Yeah. - I'm good. I'm good also. How are you? - Good. How are you?
- Very good. - Where to? - Cape Town! - To Cape Town? - Yes, Botswana today. - Just like this? - Ah? - Just like this? - Just like this. Yes. - So, coming from where? - Today from Livingstone, but from France. - From France? - With this. Yes.
From... Ah? I go this side. Okay. I entered from Mbala. - So what do you call this? - It's a trike. A bicycle — bike, tricycle — trike. - So, but here, there are elephants. - Ah, yes. The national park is here. Yeah. - Yes. - Yeah, I'll... I met a few in Livingstone already. If I meet them, I know I should not go too close.
I just wait until they go. - Sometimes, you may not see them. You may find yourself in the near distance. - Ah, okay. But then... I'll be careful. - Okay.
Okay! - Thank you! Have a good day! - Have a good day. - Safe travel! - Thank you! Wildlife corridor. So once again, I'm crossing a national park. There are no lions here, but there are elephants. Well, let's see. Hopefully, everything goes well. That's my third national park crossing.
Hello! Yes. - Very good. - Thank you! - Are you Kino? - Yes! - Oh, yes. We saw you on Instagram. - Ah, okay. Awesome! They know me from Instagram. So I've got to stay on the lookout for elephants. That's gonna be the... All Botswana is gonna be like this, also.
Hello! It's so good to be back on the road, guys. Life is awesome, man. Oh my God. Hello! - Are you feeling good, sir? - Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Hello. Nice one! Hello. - How are you? - I'm good, I'm good.
- Is it hard or soft? - It's okay. It's soft. - Nice one. - Thank you! Hello! Mabuka! Good, good. Hello. Hello! - Hey. - How are you? - I am probably out of the national park as I crossed a first village.
Hello. Hello! - Hello, man! - I think I've got a selfie break. - How are you? - Good. How are you? - I'm good, I'm good. I've been following you since... - You've... - ...you were in Kosovo. Was it Kosovo?
- Oh, really? Yes, Kosovo. Yeah. - Yeah, and I thought... My daughter is your biggest fan. I thought... Last week... Last year, we were on this road... - Yes. - ...going to Kenya. - Yeah.
