we have about 40m sheep & population of about 7m.. in the haydays 70s & 80s we peaked at about 77m sheep.. global movement against animal health drove demand down for safe healthy natural fibers.. also destroyed our possum fur & pelt industry that was supplied from pest control .. now the possums are rampant & "controled" with 1080 poison pellet drops that decimate our native bird life.. in contrast to DOCs (Department of Conservation) reports.. big issue here believing anything govt depts say or stand for.. especially after the CoVid debarkle.
Hi Marcus, Hello Marie. Thank you for making these great videos and keeping us entertained. You were taking some secondary roads from Berat to Sarande. Not long ago those roads were primary roads of communist Albania. Now they are building Highways and secondary roads will take some time to fix, or they never will be fixed:):). On the other hand, this might sounds a bit strange but I would recommend that when you enter a country, any country, just let us know, your followers, to help you out with free places to sleep. We have friends and family everywhere and you will be surprised how many of us can help. Eating healthy a home made meal is the best and Marie will not complaining she is hungry. I wish you all the best! Be safe! P.S. Please buy Marie a Tesla so you can charge at the same place:) and she will be very happy.
1:15 i used to get error 37 a lot, too. To me, it happened whenever i disconnected the charger after the bike had booted up. To avoid it, i now disconnect the plug as soon as i turn the key on and the locking pin gets retracted. 👌
Love that you're having fun Maree & suggesting the drinking game! I'm a light weight & just your last sentence alone I'd be in trouble! 😂 But keep being you--you & Marc are a great team!
Eats a healthy lunch followed by Milka and Red Bull 😂😂 Those stairs made my palms wet 😳 BTW I like when Maree uses 'like' and says jaaaaaa (maybe spelled Yeaaaa) Toot toot 🥃
So beautiful!! 14:19 The landscape and roads are gorgeous in this ariel view! Sorry you got wet for it. But you were prepared!👍🏼 Eve⚡️ is really proving her capabilities as being more than just a commuting motorcycle. I’m truly impressed. Keep it up! Ride smart. Ride safe. Have fun!
NZ is like a great country. I really like it a lot. It’s very much like Scotland like down in the South Island and like tropical in the North. I can see why Marc likes it.
I had a 6 week vacation in New Zealand in 2016, it was amazing. I also want to go back but it's a bit harder now due to having kids😙. Maybe when they are older we can save up for another long stay.
Hey Marc and Maree, nice one again! Assuming you are going to Turkey, try out the soup places over there cheap and so nice. Non tourist restaurants have amazing food as well, Maree will love it. And this time of the year a place called Dalyan is super nice. Thanks for all the video’s
What a beautiful scenery during ride. It was good decision that you have replaced the battery of Eve. I hope that battery condition will be good for long time so you don't need to stress more during the way to New Zeland. 😉
Nice videos Marc. I wonder how you get that high range though. My SRF reaches maybe 170 km on secondary roads. Probably I drive the fast. Good point removing the “range guessometer”. I drive without it for over 2 years, just trust your SoC and experience. Better for the mind. Keep up the good videos
I can feel the joy in riding those roads! With the new bike I did a tour right on the day after the day I came back from lower saxony visiting my parents. And damn saxonys roads are so much more fun. I booked a training course for june as well to learn more about motorcycle riding :D Gonna see where I'll travel this weekend! The range gauge on my bike is just not usable. It has a set range no matter how I ride but I already figured out how much power each mode uses. Have to optimize changing the riding modes for maximum efficiency! It's always so exicting watching your adventure! You're both doing great :D Safe travels!
Excellent range Marc, nice to see the battery on various roads performing well. I think compared to the old battery, hen you traveled all around the UK, you are getting 25% more range, brilliant. Loved the video and thank you both for sharing 👍🏻 (oh and I'm definitely not playing the 'shot' game Maree, I don't drink that much 😅)
Augusta Xu-Holland (Chinese: 徐嘉雯; born 17 April 1991) is a New Zealand actress. She was in the unofficial sequel to "Chariots of Fire" filmed in Hong Kong.
Like you Marc, I too am very happy with the range I am getting , but my mode of transport at the mo' is my 18 year old Land Rover Freelander. I've just broken my old record of 1025km with one tank filling (60lts of diesel), now at 1037km ( eco driving , doing my bit for the environment 😉) and still going allthough I do expect to run out tomorrow. The obligatory reserve cannister is in the boot tho' . Drive and ride safe, black side down 😉
Marc, I’ve been riding a zero dsr for 4 years now… they are great. Good luck on your adventure. Boring question “what is the folding tire lock you are using? Enjoy.
I do that for my fix of booze but not for fuel. Low-carb alcohol works but it's more expensive and I had diabetes symptoms, which prompted me to change my diet and shed a fair bit of weight as a direct result.
In sarandë. Wollten eigentlich die Fähre nehmen nach Corfu aber für Fahrzeuge erst ab Mai. Also gehts morgen erstmal nach Griechenland über die Grenze 🤙🏼
My eBike's range is equally confusing sometimes. I usually stick to power level 5 but if I switch it can change a fair bit. Changing gears is pretty pointless on the eBike since you'll make it up any hill effortlessly on power level 5.
Hey Marc and Maree 👋 great video, well done for making them, love the style 👌 Are you guys still in Albania? Myself and the husband tried to get into North Macedonia from Greece today and were not able to due to the high insurance costs. Just wondering what your insurance experience is with Albania, as we are going to try to go through this boarder tomorrow instead :-) Cheers!
@@MarcTravels 👌 must be because you guys are on German reg…. Us poor U.K. people don’t have that privilege 😟 anyway we will try again. Thanks for the reply, all the best and keep up with the great vids! 👍🏻
It's 4am in India RUclips recommended your channel first time. Soon I shall be uploading my first episode. A bike trip from city Vadodara to city Ladakh Leh, then to Umlingla @19024 feet. September will do trip again. Subscribed By the way Which Brand is your EV Bike? Regards
It doesn’t work like that Maree. Every time you say like, “you” should have to do 20 pushups. Marc, on newer vehicles, I notice the range especially on my Toyota truck says I will get 600 to 700km when I fill up but drops dramatically as I drive. I never get that many km on a fill up unless I had a tail wind and did 80km/h the whole way going downhill!
This is correct Mark. New Zealand with his rougly 5.2 Million population hast 5 times more sheeps (26 Million) than citizens. While Albania with it´s roughly 2.8 Million people has only 1 Sheep per 2 people with only (1.4 Million). So no Albania isn´t even close to the the natural habitat of an toot toot
When you made the comment about it being like New Zealand, i was thinking the same things, but about the road surface. Outside the bigger cities, a lot of our roads are in that condition. And you stop saying like after every third word, no one in NZ will understand you when you get here 😅.
Like, I didn't even notice how often Maree says "like" until she mentioned it, and then of course, like, I noticed Marc doing it too. So, like, which of you got the other into, like, saying it? Either way it's not making any difference to my enjoyment of your adventures so please don't get self concious about it and make your delivery unnatural, just do your own thing. And a drinking game could be fun, at least until I passed out under the table.
I deliver all kinds of crap for Uber Eats and a lot of it costs the punters €30 ++ but I get 100 + mpg on my Superlight (Euro 4), and so my income is reduced by only about 10% after petrol expenses as a result.
“……… a little bit like in the UK” - the little bit being full of dangerous potholes and changeable weather!! 😖 The rest - cheap, good quality food, free charging and light traffic not at all like the UK. 😕
Yeah that’s what I was referring too😉 when I did my first journey in the UK on eve I noticed the potholes 🙌🏼 love the Uk 🇬🇧 also Albanian mountains have similarities to Scotland i think 🤗

Haha one day I can afford a Tesla 🙌🏼🤗
Looking forward for those "bad roads" in Albania in few weeks ... the landscape and food will make it up for all those bumps on them haha
You can tell the level of the corruption from the conditions of the roads
Superb videography as usual, crystal clear!
Thanks mate 🤗🤙🏼
Keep on trucking guys ❤
Will do 🤗
If we act on Marcs ‘like’ too we’ll be superwasted 😂😂 Great video, awesome landscapes 👍🏻
Thanks Brigitte 🤙🏼

You are right Marc. 25 Million Sheep and 5 Million People in NZ. Love your Videos.
Wow, what a ratio 😅
Eats a healthy lunch followed by Milka and Red Bull 😂😂
Those stairs made my palms wet 😳
BTW I like when Maree uses 'like' and says jaaaaaa (maybe spelled Yeaaaa) Toot toot 🥃
I could live of chocolate 🤩
Never really noticed Maree saying "like' a lot .......oh well looks like I will be sober "toot toot"
Hehe yeah i never noticed it too but the internet is unforgiving 🫣
So beautiful!! 14:19
The landscape and roads are gorgeous in this ariel view! Sorry you got wet for it. But you were prepared!👍🏼
Eve⚡️ is really proving her capabilities as being more than just a commuting motorcycle. I’m truly impressed. Keep it up!
Ride smart.
Ride safe.
Have fun!
Yeah it‘s a great motorcycle indeed 🤗
Say "Goodbye, Maree." "Like, Goodbye. Toot toot." :-)
Hi, ein toller Tag geht wieder vorbei. 😎🌧️👋🏻
Ja war super 🤗🤙🏼
NZ is like a great country. I really like it a lot. It’s very much like Scotland like down in the South Island and like tropical in the North. I can see why Marc likes it.
Yeah true Scotland is also very similar 🤗

Yeah better play after work😅
Marc, I’ve been riding a zero dsr for 4 years now… they are great. Good luck on your adventure. Boring question “what is the folding tire lock you are using? Enjoy.
It‘s made by Abus and it’s for bicycles 🚲
I do that for my fix of booze but not for fuel. Low-carb alcohol works but it's more expensive and I had diabetes symptoms, which prompted me to change my diet and shed a fair bit of weight as a direct result.
Okay 👍🏼
Marc. Seems like,,,, the “Like” bug is contagious 🤣
Yeah 🫣
Thank you for these videos, enjoying them always. Good range Ev 👌 I hope South Africa will at some point also adopt the electric motorcycle way.
Yeah that would be cool ⚡️
Bro cheap and scenic! Albania is worth a bike ride🔥🔥 although not on electric bike cause the range anxiety will give me a headache.
Still better range than the old dominator 😅🫣
Come rain come shine! Awesome landscape and ride again. btw, do you have a rough plan on countries crossing to New Zealand?j
Not really yet. We‘ll see as we go 🙌🏼
Thanks a lot you guys 😜 now I’m drunk as a skunk on all the” likes” great game Marie 👍

You can say what ever you want the larger batterie would be better suited for your tour.
What are his options?
Apparently that is the biggest battery I could get 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels i thought you had the option as your batterie was repaired to upgrade to a larger model?
@@Total_Egal i had no option to choose what battery they replace it with 🤙🏼
Yeah - put something over that range meter so you don't see it all the time.
I can just replace it with another gauge digitally. No problem 🤗
