TravelTranscript
00:00These guys were from Slovenia.
00:02Now we are heading towards Croatia.
00:04Let's hope for the best.
00:12Assalam Alekum and good morning everyone.
00:14Yesterday I reached a small and beautiful
00:16main touristy city of Slovenia,
00:18Bled.
00:20And the best part is
00:22the view of the castle from my hotel.
00:24You can even see a small lake.
00:26But it's not far from here.
00:28It's about 100 meters away.
00:30It's a 5 minute walk from here.
00:32The best part is that my hotel is
00:34very cheap.
00:36It's almost 34 Euros.
00:38It's hard to find it elsewhere.
00:40It's not as crowded as it used to be.
00:42I had booked another hotel.
00:44They didn't have many tourists.
00:46So they shifted their bookings
00:48to this hotel.
00:50The only drawback is that
00:52the room I booked had a full kitchen.
00:54This one doesn't have a kitchen.
00:56I am very hungry right now.
00:58Let's go to a supermarket
01:00and get something to eat.
01:02Unfortunately, the weather here is
01:04very bad and I am starving.
01:06So I am looking for a supermarket
01:08to get something to eat.
01:12But there are no tourists here.
01:14And it looks like the city is
01:16completely dead.
01:18It's 10.30 pm and I can't see
01:20any restaurant or coffee shop.
01:22It's usually full of tourists
01:24because it's the main tourist city here.
01:26I am in a shopping mall now.
01:28I saw a supermarket yesterday
01:30but it's closed now.
01:32There is a coffee shop here.
01:34It's on the right.
01:54Aman-e-Raheem
02:00Aman-e-Raheem
02:02May Allah bless me with a good day.
02:04I am leaving now.
02:06Unfortunately, it's raining heavily.
02:08It will continue for the next 2-3 days.
02:10It gets heavier after every 2-4 minutes.
02:12But you can still see
02:14these tiny spots.
02:16This is Lake Bled.
02:18You can see it in front of you.
02:20There is a beautiful island in the middle.
02:22Fortunately, yesterday evening
02:24when I came here,
02:26I took some drone shots.
02:28I didn't want to take them
02:30because there was not enough light.
02:32I thought it's better to take some.
02:34And today I can't record anything.
02:36The whole city is in front of you.
02:38I think I am the only tourist
02:40who is here.
02:42I didn't see any other tourist
02:44in this whole city.
02:46I have waited for almost 4 hours
02:48for the weather to get better
02:50so that I can explore the city.
02:52But unfortunately, it's better for 2-4 minutes.
02:54I used to come out with the camera
02:56when it started raining heavily.
02:58I couldn't explore that.
03:00Now I am trying to go around the lake.
03:02You can see some of the cameras
03:04from the GoPro
03:06and some drone shots.
03:08The weather is not in my control.
03:10If the weather is like this for 3 days,
03:12then there is no point in staying here.
03:20There is no point in staying here.
03:40No one is coming from behind.
03:42The plan was to go to Bohinch lake.
03:44It's 30 minutes from here.
03:46So if the weather is like this here,
03:48then it will be a similar weather.
03:50There is another beautiful castle here.
03:52Pridyama.
03:54If the weather gets better,
03:56then we will take a break there.
03:58Unfortunately, I couldn't explore
04:00my dream city, Bled.
04:14I am thinking of filling up the tank from here.
04:16I have 2 bars with me.
04:182 bars means I can go for another 60-70 km.
04:20But the best option is
04:22to fill up the tank from here
04:24and then I can easily go to Croatia.
04:26Oh God!
04:28How expensive is it from Austria?
04:30I think I have picked the expensive one.
04:32Let me fill it up to 95.
04:34I had started paying more than 15 cents.
04:40It's raining heavily.
04:42I have to clean my visor with my hands.
04:44It's getting wet.
04:46We are out of Bled now.
04:48I was so eager to come to this city.
04:50I was planning to come here for a long time.
04:52Last year, I made a plan to come here
04:54with my friend Ahmed Bilal in winter.
04:56We had to cancel it at the end of the year.
04:58We had to go back from Austria.
05:00You make so many plans
05:02but the weather and nature
05:04are not in your control.
05:06You can go anywhere.
05:08If you are lucky, you will get to see everything.
05:10If you are not lucky,
05:12you will miss a lot of things.
05:14But it's part of the adventure.
05:16You don't have to be sad about it.
05:18Of course, I am sad from inside.
05:20But I am also happy that
05:22I took some pictures of this city
05:24and walked along the lake.
05:26I got to know more about this city.
05:28I will definitely come to Lake Bled again.
05:30Slovenia is a very small country.
05:40Slovenia is a very small country.
05:42If you google it,
05:44you will see that
05:46it has a very small map.
05:48It has borders with Italy, Austria,
05:50Hungary and Croatia.
05:52I think there are 4 borders.
05:54I don't remember the rest.
05:56It has 5 borders with Serbia.
05:58You must have heard of Yugoslavia.
06:00It was a part of Yugoslavia.
06:02During the Second World War,
06:04Italians, Germans and Hungarians
06:06were occupied here.
06:08But now it is independent.
06:10Their language is Slovenian.
06:12It is similar to Croatian and Serbian.
06:14I think their population is only 2 million.
06:16Very small population.
06:18Smaller than Lahore.
06:29I have spotted a supermarket here.
06:31My plan is to pick up something
06:33from here and eat it.
06:35After that, we will continue.
06:37I have to find a place to park my bike.
06:39Somewhere where I don't have to
06:41unload my luggage.
06:43I am a little scared.
06:55Hello.
06:58Do you have some snacks or something to eat?
07:00No.
07:02Do you have coffee?
07:04Yeah.
07:06I will go and pick something up to eat
07:08from the supermarket and come back.
07:11What coffee?
07:13Cappuccino.
07:15I will take like 10 minutes to come back.
07:21Excuse me.
07:23Are you sitting here for a bit longer?
07:2515 minutes.
07:27I have to pick something to eat from the supermarket.
07:29If you don't mind checking my luggage.
07:31Thank you very much.
07:39Finally, the rain has given me a little chance
07:41to sit somewhere here
07:43and eat something.
07:45After that, I will continue.
07:47The rain has driven me crazy today.
07:49I have just ordered coffee.
07:51Surprisingly, the coffee here is very cheap.
07:531 euro for 30 cents.
07:55You can see that the Germans
07:57don't give us coffee for less than 3 euros.
07:59They make it fresh by pressing the button.
08:19We are off-road now.
08:23I didn't expect to come off-road here.
08:25The rain has driven me crazy today.
08:27The water is not stopping
08:29even after coming down from the sky.
08:31Even I am not able to get out of Slovenia.
08:33It would have been even better
08:35if I could have got out of Slovenia.
08:45We have reached Pridjama castle.
08:47But I have literally no interest
08:49in exploring this place in this rain.
08:51The only thing I want to do
08:53is to take a look at the castle.
08:55I have already made so many mistakes.
08:57I was not going to go back anyway.
08:59This is the parking.
09:01Where is the castle?
09:03There it is.
09:05I have reached the castle
09:07but I have made a huge mistake.
09:09I took the wrong route.
09:11I don't know from where
09:13I took the off-road route.
09:15I had put highway avoid and toll roads in it.
09:17But the road was very beautiful
09:19but the weather was not good.
09:21Unfortunately.
09:23We have reached the castle
09:25but it is closed and there are no tourists here.
09:27Only Mr. Bosnian has gone on a pilgrimage.
09:29The rest of the people are sitting
09:31in their homes.
09:33It will start again after 15th June.
09:35These are the castles of the Renaissance.
09:37They are built inside a cave.
09:39There are secret tunnels here.
09:41Unfortunately,
09:43you cannot fly a drone here.
09:45It was written No Fly Zone.
09:47I don't want to put myself in trouble
09:49because there are only a few people here.
09:51It's written here.
09:53Let's leave for Croatia without wasting time.
09:55It will take 1.5 hours.
09:57Let's go.
10:16We are at the border now.
10:18Let's see what they do.
10:20Will they let us go or not.
10:23This is for buses and this is for trucks.
10:28Let's see what's ahead.
10:51They let us pass.
10:53They were from Slovenia.
10:55We are coming towards Croatia.
10:57They were supposed to let us pass.
10:59Let's see what they have in store for us.
11:01Let's hope for the best.
11:03It's raining and I think we are lucky.
11:09There is no one here.
11:13There is no one here at all.
11:16So we have entered Croatia.
11:20So we have entered Croatia.
11:22Croatia.
11:24Let's go.
11:29Finally.
11:31The joy of crossing the border.
11:33It's been so long.
11:35There is no problem with a German passport.
11:39After all the restrictions imposed by Corona,
11:42I feel so happy.
11:44When a situation like this comes up.
11:46I thought the way they stopped me,
11:48it was border control.
11:50I thought it was okay.
11:52Normally, they should put a stop sign.
11:56But they didn't do that.
11:58I didn't say anything to them.
12:00They just left.
12:02Thank God.
12:04Let's go ahead and book an apartment.
12:06Let's find a nice place to park.
12:09I'll park there.
12:11Now we are going towards Rijeka.
12:20Rijeka
12:46We are about to reach.
12:481.2 km more to go.
12:50We have to go ahead.
12:52Hopefully, the view from the room will be good.
12:55The view of the sea.
13:10I have to turn from here.
13:12Where is the navigation telling me to go?
13:15From here.
13:18I hope everything goes well.
13:20I hope nothing goes wrong.
13:24I have to go down.
13:27I think this is the one on the left.
13:45Yes, I can go inside.
13:48I need a little help from you.
13:50Can you push a little back?
13:53No, from the front.
13:59Now it's good.
14:07Sir.
14:09Can I park my car in the garage?
14:13Yes.
14:15Okay.
14:17This is a nice garage.
14:19If I park my car in the garage...
14:21This is the language of the hands.
14:23It's international.
14:25Everyone understands it.
14:27If I park my car in the garage, then I don't need to carry a lot of stuff.
14:33Where are you going?
14:40Chef Gokabrar has made his own food today.
14:43I had a kitchen facility in my apartment.
14:46So I used it to make my own food.
14:48So that I don't have to go out.
14:50First of all, I didn't feel like going out.
14:52Secondly, I wanted to save some money.
14:54It's difficult to get food from outside easily.
14:58Because it's a small village.
15:00And if you want to eat Halal food, it's difficult.
15:02I didn't have a good day today.
15:06But it was a good day.
15:08I enjoyed it a lot.
15:10The scenery was beautiful.
15:12But unfortunately the weather was just as bad today.
15:15That's what happens in adventures.
15:17Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow.
15:19So we will explore Kroshiab.
15:21Which you will see in the next vlog.
15:23Thank you so much for watching.
