Tonight a special turn in Race Across the World When one of

the five teams decides that their journey to Ushuaia is an impossible

task This makes more teams wonder if the pace is not too

high Is it smart to only be busy winning?

The race as a metaphor for real life It happens.

On the way to the swinging and bustling South America This is

awesome.

This is awesome.

This is barefoot.

Life is so short.

Life is so incredibly short.

I know that from up close.

And then...

You have to do it now.

In Race Across the World, five teams travel across the country From

Mexico City to Ushuaia, the most southern city in the world With

the same budget as the price of two plane tickets on the

same route Because by always flying everywhere, we may have learned how

it is to travel somewhere Oh, this is beautiful.

This is so ridiculous, man.

I'm so happy with you that we can do this together.

It will be an exhausting backpack trip of two months I have

a bigger bag.

I have more.

No, we're going to do this together.

I don't like this anymore.

In eight stages.

Through 17 countries.

Over more than 14,000 kilometers.

Without the help of their own smartphone.

Hello?

Or travel guide.

Holy shit.

There will also have to be work.

Unorthodox way of making fun of us.

Who is proud of Latin America?

Which team wins the prize money of 15,000 euros?

This is Race Across the World.

In the

second stage, you could see how Olga and Frank were going through

their own to-do list in smoke.

Okay.

We were the first.

God damn it.

They were second.

Ah, second.

Behind Hugo and Eva, who now have a lead of an hour.

On team Condandeur.

Robert!

Howard and Ray took a little jump to the stage sign.

And were third again.

Oh, oh, oh.

After a long wait, team Selvis and team Ragas arrived in Panama

City.

In fear of being too late.

Oh, shit.

We're not last.

What the hell?

What the...

Are they okay?

Oh, hang on.

So this is yesterday.

So this is all the fault?

So, hang on, I would have honestly bet my left testicle on

the fact that we were coming in last.

Okay, I didn't really.

Yeah, you would be a testicle down.

Wow, I hope they're okay.

Ah!

What?

No.

What?

We made it.

Oh, shit, no.

Oh, shit, no.

12 hours is a lot longer than me.

Oh, shit, no.

Hey.

Oh, boy.

So.

Oh, shit.

Yes, boy.

Wait a minute.

There are two emblems in it.

Huh?

Yes, there are two emblems.

Bas and Sam's surprise is not without reason.

All participants know that at two points in the race the team

that comes in last will be eliminated.

There will be one set of emblems less on the checkpoint board.

Bas and Sam were lucky this time.

Hey, look at this.

Here you go.

What a nice surprise.

Well, cheers, guys.

Congratulations.

Nice to see you.

So far, so good.

So far, so good.

So far, so good.

What a dog's cage we slept in.

Yeah, right?

What happened?

What did you do?

We came in last.

We came in last.

Holy shit, no.

Really?

Yeah, really.

You came in last.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're fifth.

But there were two, uh ...

of those badges, vignettes.

So yeah, we can still go to Colombia.

Oh, that's good.

Oh, congratulations.

We didn't know either.

Look, big guy.

How did you catch up two days with us?

I don't ...

Actually, I do know how we did it.

Which was like leaving at six o'clock every morning and just

moving solidly without stopping until eight o'clock at night.

We basically did this leg what you guys did in the first

leg.

Well, to be honest, it was also the intention that a team

would be forced to go home in this episode.

And that would have been team Raghas.

It wasn't that Dominic and Katie found the race too difficult.

Oh no, we've got maybe a week or two left.

So that was it.

Then, to be honest, what we also underestimated was how much we

were missing home.

And I've got a baby at home, her little brother, my little

boy.

And we needed to go home.

And ...

Cheers to that, then.

Absolutely.

God bless you.

Cheers, well done.

Cheers.

Good luck.

Cheers.

We kind of feel like we're done.

We've done an amazing thing, travelled this incredible distance in a very

short space of time.

And I don't feel like that we're competitive enough, either of us.

Either actually competitive enough or have it in us to compete.

That's clear.

One team down, one more team to go.

On the way to Ushuaia.

But that will take a while.

Now it's time for the well-known envelope, with the destination of

the third stage.

I can't wait.

Let's check out Quito.

We're going all the way to Ecuador.

We're going through the San Blas Islands.

Oh, that's cool.

I think that's cool.

Of course, there are also options to choose from.

And there is an overview of the places where you can work.

I'm not in the mood to work hard.

Trains and eggs.

One, that's Medellin.

That's Street Art Tour.

Colombian Night Out.

I'm dying.

There's a salsa workshop upstairs.

Yes, yes.

I love dancing according to the rules.

Soup in...

Guatape?

Guatepe?

Soup is just standing.

Soup is standing on water.

Standing on water.

The winners of the previous stage may choose first.

Do you want to dance with me or do you want to

have coffee with me?

Both, but we've been looking forward to dancing for weeks.

We're going to put everything in order.

We're going to put everything in order.

Oh, I'm already looking forward to it.

I think...

Yes, right?

We're crazy about coffee.

I really like this.

What is it?

This is a Street Art Tour.

Of course.

That's your shit.

Okay, we're going to do this.

We chose an activity twice that was very out of the way.

And the result is clear.

So we don't do that.

There is salsa.

There is salsa.

Cool.

Well, nice.

I'm looking forward to it, man.

Is there still money in it?

No, there's no money in it, unfortunately.

Yes, nice.

The next morning, the remaining four teams leave for the starting point

of the third stage.

Where Eva celebrates her faith by chasing Hugo's evil spirits with smoking

magic.

Only four teams left.

And we're at an interesting turn of events.

But we really like that.

Yes.

Yes, Dominique and Katie.

Of course, we hear after the first stages that they had a

hard time.

But yes, they are not strong enough for Race Across the World.

I'm glad they didn't pull it off.

Because that's why we're still in it.

And it's high time we go to Colombia.

Yes.

The special thing about the third stage is that there are no

roads between Panama and Colombia.

That's what the Darien Gap is called.

It's a no-go border area.

Full of danger.

Like swamps, dense jungle and shabby rebel groups.

The teams are therefore first transported to Colombia by boat.

So we're going to the water.

We're going to get into some kind of off-road situation.

So full.

After a lot of wobbling, we suddenly arrive at a small port.

Yes.

And there is a boat ready.

And it's a kind of speedboat.

A kind of cozy speedboat.

Only it turns out that we have to sit in it for

eight hours.

I repeat, eight hours.

Hip hip hurray, we're in Colombia.

I immediately feel more at home here.

But on day two, the fun suddenly changes into a particularly risky

matter.

Thanks to a tail from Ocaan Julia.

The next day we take another boat.

And that's nothing, that's only two hours.

Two hours, very difficult.

Nothing to do.

Nothing to do.

Nothing to do.

Nothing to do.

Nothing to do.

900 horsepower, we're there.

That went completely wrong.

We are suddenly in the middle of a boat in a hurricane.

It's not fun.

We thought it was fun.

We hear the waves, we hear people screaming.

Pray to God.

Crying.

Unbelievable, panic broke out on board.

Babies start crying.

Grau starts suddenly farting.

That was Emma-Grau, she's going in.

It was real terror.

This was pretty intense.

It was the most intense boat ride I've ever experienced.

It was a very apocalyptic feeling.

That boat went bam, bam.

But I really enjoyed it.

It was a huge boat.

And much-talked-about Colombia is one of the most spectacular destinations

of the race.

It is really a beautiful country, full of adventure and beauty.

Once arrived in the northern coast of Necocli, Hugo and Eva take

the race as the first team to Checkpoint Quito in Ecuador.

But on the way to the bus station for tickets, they realize

that the city is full of stranded refugees from Venezuela.

I notice that a lot of people are on their way to

something.

To another place than this.

Everyone is a bit like us.

Actually, we are also here now.

But without money.

We do it for fun and luxury.

And they do it because they are literally kicked out of the

country.

We are at a place that is actually a kind of end

station for people from Venezuela.

They fled.

They all fled for a regime that takes their money.

I understand.

And you have to go through that jungle.

Which is literally impassable.

150 kilometers of jungle, right?

Really like this, right?

How big is the chance that you will make it?

In 2 or 3 weeks, hopefully, we will make it.

A moment of realization, right?

That we are having a bit of fun again.

Making haste.

Super greedy with our money.

Because we have it.

I find it quite confronting.

You think, yes.

We are now traveling and racing all over the country for fun.

But for us it's about adventure and a bit of prize money.

And for some people it's just their life.

That's a different weight in the scale.

But they are just as close to us as we are.

It's hard.

Fucking hard.

And weird to see.

I think what you could do now is turn off your money

belt.

I say, here is my money belt.

Maybe you can help one more family and then we go home.

Yes, complicated.

And a bit powerless.

It is a logical consequence of making this trip.

The confrontation with the harsh reality in other parts of the world.

Moments to realize that happiness is everything but self-evident.

A bus, yes.

There was a girl sitting next to me.

Then I thought, I don't have money to give her.

But maybe I can entertain you a bit.

And entertain myself too, by the way.

Fine with me.

A car.

A car, yes.

A car.

Motorcycle.

Motorcycle, motorcycle, motorcycle.

In a moment, Frank puts a tip of his coin on.

Yes, I am a scout.

That has always been in the past.

Is Howard afraid of being robbed?

And if there is someone on the tip, we are all on

the news tomorrow.

And did Bas and Sam see the light?

Well, we just talked about the prize.

So that's great.

The race continues.

See you soon.

It is possible to wait for a bus ticket to Medellin.

Hello.

Hello, how are you?

Bus to Medellin.

How many five?

Six.

Six.

Eight.

Okay.

Okay.

Now to Medellin.

Five.

Seven and a half.

Thank you.

We're going to take a night bus from here to Medellin.

We want to arrive there at 5.30 in the morning.

And that means we're leaving.

How late are we leaving, Frank?

Half past ten.

Set in Medellin.

Thank you.

Can I join you?

We have the tickets.

When the two pass a religious procession in anticipation of the departure,

Frank Zobar gets in the way of scouts.

All those proud parents walking along.

Nice.

Scouting exists here.

Scouting exists here, yes.

It looks like scouts.

I'm a scout.

I've always been.

But the guys I used to go scouting with, they always get

together.

We're simul-scouts.

It always gives brotherhood in the world when you meet people from

scouting.

And what does that brotherhood mean?

That you help everyone where you can.

That's also in our pathological faith, in the law.

Well, that was fun in between.

Yes.

But now we're really going to eat something.

We're going to eat something, yes.

And so the departure from Reikokli in Colombia is full of experiences.

Which also keeps them distracted after being spied on by fans who

for incomplete reasons want to take a picture with them.

The journey begins and we are surrounded by a whole church community.

We all lost that.

Enthusiastic children.

God, it was ...

Actually, we don't want to leave anymore.

And we're having a great time, but we have to leave.

We have to go, while those children want to take pictures with

us.

They want our Instagram accounts.

They want to follow us.

They want to be our mati.

While we have to go to the bus station as the sodenieter.

Adios.

Bye.

Adios.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Jesus, it's so cozy here in Colombia.

Very cozy.

Fortunately, we pass a very promising chicken restaurant.

Yes, more about that later.

Are you sure we have to take the bus?

Or can we stay here?

Yes, we keep going.

And suddenly we see a whole bus situation in the middle of

nowhere.

I had tickets.

Yes, but we'll take a later bus.

Because we're going to eat chicken first.

At the restaurant where we passed by, I think.

After not only eating chicken, but also extra emergency chicken is included

on the way, André finally gets on a night bus with destination

Bogota.

It's going to be a fun night anyway.

Because I drove a chicken for tonight.

Chicken, chicken, chicken.

And if there's someone on a chicken, we're all on the show

tomorrow.

See you later.

Thank you.

Later.

Bas and Sam have an angel on their shoulders.

Their last stop in Panama City could have been the end.

But even with a 12-hour delay on Hugo and Eva, they're

not in a hurry.

But they seem more and more aware of the fact that they

have to be economical.

We got a 10,000 discount.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

That's great.

It was easy to get rid of.

Yes, super nice.

We're going to do it again soon.

How much does it cost?

This costs 80 per person.

Bas gets 85 per person.

It's 160.

Well, we've talked about the price now.

That seems to be possible in Colombia.

So we got 10,000 locks off now.

So that's great.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

I just say thank you now.

Thank you.

That's normal.

Thank you.

And there they go, on their way to Quito in Ecuador.

With a bus ride through the truly breath-taking Colombian landscape as

a bonus.

But they don't get much out of this ride.

In 10 minutes.

Olga and Frank are on their way to the region where the

Colombian coffee beans come from.

As true enthusiasts, they've decided to take a break to work at

a coffee farm.

But first, they have to find a hotel.

Is it a good ride as well?

A bit long.

Where are you from?

I'm from the Netherlands.

You?

Netherlands.

That's right.

I've heard you speak a bit of Chinese.

Do you have a night here?

You?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Is that a bit cheap?

No, but I've already bought it.

Yes?

Let's see.

A hostel in Colombia is 40,000 euros.

Oh.

Okay.

Maybe it's not.

Yes, finally I meet a Dutchman again.

Asking someone who also speaks Dutch for information is a bit of

a relief.

Do you know beer?

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Spanish is still a bit difficult to understand.

Beer.

Ah.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

We're going to have dinner.

Yes?

Oh, yes.

Hugo and Eva have now arrived in Bogota.

Where they have freed themselves of their heavy backpacks and are exploring

the city as tourists.

are discovering the city One hat, one hat Oh Hugo No?

Honestly?

I'm afraid to say it It's ok But you have to put

it back No honey Lovely to hang out with the tourists It's

so nice to wander around Oh Jesus Let's go around We shouldn't

reveal that We're not busy with buses and times How much money

do we have?

Where are the other teams?

We're completely free Very nice You feel human again A little bit

The llama likes it Who thinks llama?

Let's go So soft!

Look at the hat he's wearing I could've been a llama hat

Take everything from me I like that

I don't know you Great Beautiful Yes Perfect

Thank you I'm going to take off my wet clothes They're soaked

Oh!

Oh how bad It's…

Rotten frieze It's seawater And it's warm Oh!

I'll throw it away You still have detergent right?

Yes There's a pedal, isn't it empty?

No it looks good Have you got detergent already?

Yes I have Ok Yes Here's some soap And

then…

I hope it's warm water You can add more Yes Yes Best

drivers are always ready We'll do it in two It's even lukewarm

Oh!

This is Frank He does these things That's why I love him

He's in for the second time Let him stand And after we've

eaten We'll get him out Very good And then…

I'm proud of you Well done Ok In the meantime, Hugo thought

that there might be something to earn in Bogota as a street

artist Should I throw a diabolo?

Let's see what happens I think that's a good one Do you

have a pen?

I'll put this down Should I put some money on it?

People know you have to put money on it How nice 20

years ago I did diabolos Maybe longer, 25 years And I saw

it in the cupboard And I thought, you know what?

There's so much in that backpack I can add a diabolo And

who knows, I can pick it up and earn something Are you

going to sing?

You're really good I said you're really good Hop!

It's being filmed, ask for money Nice right?

Oh he's gone I like people and entertainers Just being a street

artist in South America Wow!

What a showman If I do this on the Dam in Amsterdam

they'll stop for a different reason And now they stop because they

think it's cool And it's a good feeling I like it How

long have you been practicing?

Years!

Blood, sweat and tears Come on, sing Go sing!

I'm not going to sing I said Mr. Diabolo If you're talking

about a need for attention and applause and appreciation that's where Hugo

is more than me I don't mind taking a step back But

the balance is good Imagine two Hugos on a trip You'd be

crazy Ewa,

come and have a look How much did you earn?

A thousand It works!

Let's have a look A thousand We put this down 100, 200

Another 200 1500 And 50 cents This is a beer!

You earned a lot tonight Shall we order one?

I'm glad you're not afraid to do this No I'm not We

can do this in bigger cities Well done Hugo In a minute

Bas and Sam enter Pablo Escobar's footsteps I'm always fascinated by the

humanity of evil In Berlin I know where Hitler's bunker is Does

team knowledge look too deep in the glass?

This is so funny!

And does Olga lie down while picking coffee beans?

Yes, I'm lying down See you when the race continues Welcome back

to Race Across the World Where the other 4 teams are on

their way to Quito The middle of the world In Ecuador Howard

and Dre arrived in Bogotá Where just like in many other places

in Latin America whole neighborhoods are decorated with wall paintings The kind

of projects Dre worked on a lot It was a kind of

congress Amor por Bogotá They were very interested in street art And

there was a lot of street art But there is even more

And I have the feeling that the city embraces it There are

a lot of cities that try to...

That's graffiti vandalism That's graffiti vandalism and it's bad Then you have

cities that have a kind of tolerance policy It doesn't matter to

us And you have cities that encourage it Do it The last

thing is here It seems like it It's nice to walk through

it And see how such a city has so much It's also

nice to walk through it with you Because you see it in

a certain way And you can tell it in a certain way

That makes it even clearer than just looking at it Then you

have a place that is made for street art And then the

street art is actually less cool Than what you see on the

way here Eventually you know that you are part of a big

urban improvement process This wall always stays ugly Until they give

permission to put something nice on it And these things are often

painted in a kind of festival setting Bas and Sam

are also on their way that morning To something they want to

miss for a long time Something of a completely different order Than

the culturally responsible look of Howard and Ray We are now going

to the barracks Where on that roof where Pablo Escobar was shot

to death To an enormous hand Yes, I wanted to see that

And Bas too I'm always fascinated by the people I meet In

Berlin I also know where Hitler's bunker is And there is a

parking lot over there And a few glass jars And here too,

a guy ends up dead with his bare pants On a few

slanted roofs in a poor neighborhood Yes, very simple, I just wanted

to see that But once arrived, there are doubts whether they are

in the right place The house here?

The white house?

Here is where Pablo Escobar was Ok We have seen the movies

and series And then it's in a neighborhood But it's not in

a neighborhood There is a river in between I think that's weird

Here are the roofs I think it's that house on the left,

higher That it was somewhere there I think he jumped from a

high part And then he shot himself in the head So he

couldn't get away Do you really think we were in the wrong

place?

I don't know We didn't have a phone, so we couldn't check

So we couldn't check on the internet Maybe it's the other house

It's the white house Stop!

It's the white house The wrong house We are watching Miep and

Troes and Columbia And they are taking pictures of that house It

was the street, it was where it was And you saw it

with the tiles and the walls You saw the image And I'm

going to tell you Even though the TV show says otherwise Like

Mark Twain said And these are the quotes But

in the meantime, they were next to a blockhouse Olga and Frank

are experiencing new heights They are working on a coffee shop to

fill their budget But the walk there is already an experience Oh

look, what a beautiful cocoon And what is that down there?

It's a women's cocoon Oh what a beautiful animal Look, a cocoon

And the white ones are the women's cocoons Oh what a beautiful

animal Do you want a picture of it?

There you go I've never seen such a big cocoon in the

wild With the wings out like this Team Komptende hands

are shaking In exchange for some extra travel money They have chosen

a fruit shop in Bogota Where the two ladders have to start

In the beginning we get very stupid assignments Do we really have

to go from subject A to subject B And then from subject

B back to subject A It's very smart Because it's to get

used to each other This cardboard here It has to go here

Lower this one Lower this one Lower this one Lower this one

Lower this one Ah you know your women But you have to

be clear When people come to work and you give half a

clue It's not only nice that she's so clear I know now

that I have to make the stack of bananas higher Well, let's

do that What I like so much Is to work in a

team On a project So our painting projects You sometimes work with

20 or 30 people And then you all have to Also work

as an oiled machine The woman sees me rummaging with the box

Grab a knife I put my hand up She cuts that thing

And we can continue with our lives Ehm, what's his name?

Your name?

Papi Name?

Papi Papi?

Papi is ok Ok, Papi here My name Howard Is a bit

difficult to pronounce for the people So I thought, I'll call myself

Papi Which means honey It's a bit of an exciting way to

call someone A package of bananas Come here We're going to put

them here We're being commanded from one side to the other But

we're getting more responsibility I can write it down with a pen

What I took and what I didn't Dos kilos And we're going

home with goodie bags and fruit And it's a shame Because we

wanted to continue for a while For another day For me it's

the best way to learn Spanish Yes, it's very nice Especially to

learn Spanish-language fruit That was so much fun It's not bad

to stay here for a month Absolutely Just outside Salento On top

of a mountain camp is a coffee farm Where Olga and Frank

work The owner is called Terrence And he came here from Trinidad

and Tobago To start his own farm I

love coffee We have a tradition at home In the morning when

I'm in the shower Frank brings me a cup of coffee That's

my first cup of coffee In the bathroom, not in the shower

Oh in the bathroom Spread it a bit This is quite heavy

for the legs You have to squat And stay in this position

It's good for the upper legs So I do my morning gymnastics

Look for exercises you can do You can

feel it, they are ripe enough Then they go off easily You

can only know that if you pick one that doesn't go off

Yes, but if I don't pick one I leave them This is

a good one for the average I can feel the competition between

Frank and me Who picks the most beans How many beans do

you have to pick for one cup of coffee?

Yes It's manual labor Yes, and then the whole process From picking

to a cup of coffee I think you've been doing this for

almost a year The circumstances we're in Yes, I'm lying down But

I'm standing again Are you okay?

Yes, I'm back My cup is still full, I saved it This

is the quality of a good bean picker I'm standing again But

you see, it's very slippery And very slippery So I took a

small step And I slid down a bit But I had to

be here anyway So I'm standing again I'm just going on Hey,

look Look Well, about the same I think Yes, about the same

Well We're going our separate ways Indecisive We did it, good job

Here we go Well, we were able to help ourselves for a

few hours But Manuel is picking beans all day Respect, because it's

hard work Do you need help, Frank?

No Wow I just tightened my feet Otherwise I'd be in my

shoes Team Raaggas spent the last night in the busiest low-budget

hotel on the trip Slowly but surely, it's starting to break up

Father Bastiaan We slept well Like in a scale of 1 to

10 it's minus 5 So that's good for normal This is the

bed You put two guys in here This is how we sleep

This is how we sleep We can get along So that saves

a lot It's not very comfortable So you turn And then Sorry

darling, sorry Sleep well Tomorrow we'll get in the bus And we'll

sleep And he'll put his hand here And I'll be like I'm

glad I didn't bring my best friend Or a nice colleague Or

it would've been war I'm wondering where my ears are Stop it

Don't scratch my ears Why do you know it's yours?

Because it's my ears Because I keep my things with me He

didn't lose anything Everything in order Everything in boxes That's him And

this is me Hasta luego That's the sun Ciao, bye bye The

bus is gone Let's go That night, Hugo and Eva are going

to Colombia The two have chosen a very busy evening Including eating

and drinking And the local spectacular version of Jeu de Boulle Named

Tau And the boom is like BAM!

Oh no I'm sweating I don't like it With old and new

I'm always inside Because I'm afraid of fire Balloons on birthdays Terrible

because they can pop I forgot I'm afraid of popping I'm very

nervous Oh my god!

I think it's terrible It's my nightmare It's a game, it's popping

It's competition, I love that 6 points!

2 fingers This is something new for me I want to understand

it You're so serious It's a drinking game We drink beer and

play a game You're not fanatical No, I can do it very

well Just by chance Almost!

Nice!

This is a good date Nice date, we're all out It's fun

Nice place This

is so much fun!

Oh nice!

The contrast is getting bigger Remember when we were on a bus

station?

The evening ends sadly After 3 weeks on water and healthy food

the drink hits as hard as a techo You're so lame!

I can't handle it I'm so happy We ate so well We

shouldn't have done the last one Why did you order mezcal on

the last day?

Because we couldn't pay mezcal in Mexico That's why I'm doing it

now Olga has an unpleasant feeling Can I go to the bathroom?

I'm going to the bathroom I still have a drone Bastiaan is

in a hurry when he gets an announcement We did it with

the 2 of us Hugo and Eva are on their way to

the hotel I'm already hanging Stay tuned, the race continues See you

soon The other 4 teams are on their way to

Quito in Ecuador On their way to the end of the world

We continue when the border with Ecuador is reached and the checkpoint

on the trackers is announced Hey!

We have a message The third checkpoint The third checkpoint is at

Centro Cultura...

Cultural...

Ichimbia Centro Cultura...

Ichim...

Ichimbia Centro Cultura Ichimbia I'm going to pick it up I'm going

to look it up in the bus Ask people We're very lucky

We're at the border at 12 We're going to make it today

We have to make it Howard and Dre also left Bogota in

a night bus to Ecuador They get the tracker message during a

pitstop at a restaurant next to the road I think with chicken

Ichimbia Ichimbia Ichimbia In Quito 2 hours to the border And tomorrow

morning we'll run to the checkpoint A boring run of course A

very calm run Either we sprint or we walk Yes, go in

15 and 16 The bus of team commander is about to leave

for the border crossing Olga needs height But she's afraid the bus

will leave without her No, no time You have to pee Can

I go to the bathroom?

Yes, I only have 50 No, no Yes, I don't have time

for that Then I'll go inside I'll stop.

I don't have change.

I only had 50 Did you have to pay with coins?

Yes, here you have to pay entrance fee Yes, with coins Yes,

with 50 there was no return of 50 You only have 50

Yes, I only have 50 Fortunately Frank has coins And Olga goes

as fast as she can Goddamnit I still have a drone in

me I know how it is when you need it So people

still get in That one minute can also be added I'm glad

she went for a while So, relieved A happy Olga So, hey,

we can go Yes,

this is awesome This is Cali at your feet We're going to

sit on that piece of stone With those red letters In the

Colombian Cali, Bas and Sam are waiting for the night bus After

Ecuador, we went for a walk And a moment of relaxation I

think the trip is a huge rollercoaster of emotions It's a small

mini life, but in a few weeks New people, things, atmospheres, development

We had to get used to it the first few weeks At

least I had to get used to it I found it very

complicated You're slowly getting used to it Lovely Being on the road

with your father-in-law is special But I still find it

difficult to find the balance Between doing fun things and traveling It's

a metaphor for life You start with a few people at the

beginning of your life And everyone thinks you have to reach the

finish line If you're not careful, you're just running And busy with

some kind of ambition Rush, rush, rush, and then it's the end

And then you think, what did I do with my life?

It's a kind of midlife, you want to take a step away

from your own life And then it's brilliant to be able to

do that with you To make that trip with the two of

us It's about the content And the content is that I'm here

with my son And that for the rest of our lives we

will say Well, we did it together We'll

do it with the two of us And life is so short

Life is so incredibly short I know that from up close And

then You have to do it now Don't wait And don't think

about all kinds of practical reasons Why you don't want to travel

with your son or daughter Or with the person you love And

don't think it's too expensive Because we sleep in a dog house

and we still have it That's what this is about Hugo and

Eva arrive as the first team at the border With Ecuador It's

the 8th border crossing of the race Which goes through 17 countries

Hoppa!

I'm so happy with this We're going to Ecuador today Bizarre!

I'm so happy I didn't expect this We're relaxed We're excited to

cross a border And we're excited to secretly reach the checkpoint Are

you going to lift me too?

Yes The last few meters, Colombia Another new country Come on,

we're going to get a bus or a taxi Quito, Quito, Quito

We have to keep going Because the checkpoint is closing It's closing

at 9 And we'll get there if we make it Jesus, I'm

on the last minute Well honey, here we go Let's go to

Quito And we're off We're off On the 24th, another 5 hours

We travelled for 29 hours Taxis for half an hour, we travelled

for 30 hours I hope it's the bar Everything is so messy

today I think we're second I think so too Who do you

think is first?

Olga and Fran Yes?

But so relaxed When Hugo and Eva get there The situation is

so tense Because the men have to hurry For the first time

this trip, we have a plan We agreed, we're not going to

stress We're going to Quito, we won't make it But at least

we have a piece of Ecuador And tomorrow we'll cross the border

But now we're stressing Because there's a sign Where you have to

show your corona proof And you can't cross the border And it's

15.45 in the taxi When we get there It's important that

you have that sign Because otherwise you'll have to wait Overnight, and

next morning at 8 You have to report to the office And

then you're in line again So you're very late The next day

Ecuador!

A little bit But the good thing is, we managed everything So

tomorrow morning we can wake up And go to Quito And to

the checkpoint What was it about?

It was about 1 piece of paper We had 1 over 5

He made us a little bit lucky We're going to the checkpoint

Alright, I'm going to help this one.

It's already dark when Olga and Frank arrive in Quito.

Just like Hugo and Eva, they also have to hurry because the

checkpoint closes at half past eleven.

Only to open again the next morning.

For the sake of safety, it is not allowed to travel here

late at night.

Not allowed to travel.

Okay, is

it going well?

Cultural center Itchimbia.

Cultural center Itchimbia.

Team commander approaches the impressive destination.

But also Hugo and Eva are very close after a monster ride

in the bus.

I think we've been in the bus for 34 hours.

Oh, I'm starting to cry.

Stage 3 approaches the reveal.

Okay.

Mr. Taxi.

Itchimbia.

How many minutes?

30 minutes.

Did you tell me it's a park?

Yes, I know.

Itchimbia, what?

A park?

Yes, a park.

Thank you very much.

Okay, let's go.

To the park.

Street name?

What is it?

Manuel Lopera?

Manuel Lopez?

No.

No, no.

Centro Cultural Itchimbia.

I see you're exaggerating.

Centro Cultural Itchimbia.

He doesn't know where we're supposed to go.

He says ...

He's making it up.

Are you looking for it?

Yes, sir.

Centro Cultural Itchimbia.

He doesn't know anything He's going to say something It's

getting quieter Look here.

Yes, park Ichimba.

Now Centro.

Centro.

Centro.

Ah ok.

I still have 230 meters to go Drive a bit What Olga

and Frank don't know is that they are literally under the checkpoint

that's on top of the hill But the driver of team knowledge

doesn't seem to know This

is exciting.

Why is it so exciting?

It's getting crazy I'm too tired to get out and get another

taxi Is this a bad plan?

Yes.

Ok?

He doesn't want to open the map No map?

Ok, but we have to go there No, that's not good Turn

right To the right That's the gate.

Where is it?

Let's see where the gate is Ah yes Let's see if we

can find it There's a park on the right I see a

green one Is it here?

But there's a park If we can't get in, we have to

go the other way Then we won't make it.

You have to walk around it It's closed Hey, park Ichimba.

I saw it Yes, ok.

Thank you.

Go.

Ok.

Ichimba, 100 meters.

100 meters.

Ok, here.

Thank you.

Centro cultural de…

In between.

Yes.

Ok.

15.

There you go.

Thank you.

This thing has to open.

I know.

Maleta?

Yes, but not fast and not the way Maleta, please.

No, no.

Do we have to go up here?

I don't see it.

Oh, up here.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hola.

Centro cultural.

Yes, I see the dome.

Where?

In the distance.

Yes, that dome.

Yes, we have to go there.

Do you know where it is?

In a few minutes.

Come.

Come honey.

Hey, watch out.

I don't want to break in a minute.

A bit dark.

Oh, there it is.

Oops.

Ok.

A staircase.

Do you see a sign?

No.

Somewhere.

There?

Yes, I think it's there.

I see a sign.

Do you see a sign?

I see a sign.

Yes, yes, yes.

We almost drove past it.

That sign is there.

Ok.

Yes.

One, two.

One, two.

Where is it?

First!

We're going to make it.

Look how beautiful.

Oh, I can't anymore.

I'm broken.

Oh, we're second.

Yes!

Yes!

I'm so happy for her.

One, two.

Ok.

Jeez man, first anyway.

My legs hurt so much.

We're going to take a nice picture now.

I'm going to take this hug.

Oh, gosh.

Nikkie says so.

20, 18.

Hoppatee.

We both have eyes in the picture.

20, 38.

We're here somewhere.

Look.

Oh, great.

What a beautiful city.

Oh, how big.

I really didn't expect it.

We made it.

You're going to take a picture right away.

Of course.

Yeah, we made it.

Oh.

I can't believe it.

You can write.

Traditional wedding.

Hugo and Eva.

Ok.

Ok.

A picture.

Hop.

They're still high from the coffee.

Look at them.

Sweetheart, we're going to give each other a beer.

And then a bed.

Lovely.

It's already the next morning.

As team Komproe.

Team Komproe takes their last bus.

This man says they'll be there at 4 o'clock.

Others say 6 o'clock.

So we have to mark it.

It's a bus with a toilet.

We made it.

A foggy bus.

But we didn't miss it.

Definitely not.

Better a foggy bus than a foggy bus.

Bastiaan and Sam arrived with a night bus at the border with

Colombia.

Exhausted, they get out to get back in.

The atmosphere is slightly humorous.

We've been in the night bus all night.

The day before, we were awake all day.

The day before, we were busy all day.

And we slept in that corner where we always slept.

And now straight through.

It's very hot in the bus.

No airconditioning.

People are going crazy because they can't sit in their seats.

And I'm pretty hungry.

A lot of noise.

Everyone turns on their phone at about 10 o'clock.

There are very bad movies.

Very fast re-synchronized.

And the bus driver who is dead by now, I think.

He pulls in left and right.

He taped it with a curtain.

So we're a bit overwhelmed.

And now he's going to drive as if he thinks he's Max

Verstappen.

I think those bus rides are really scary.

I'm not in control at all.

But you're not in the Netherlands either.

They just drive normally.

I don't want to die.

I have a wife.

I have three more children.

And dad didn't make it.

He made a very nice show.

But we still have the footage.

I don't want that.

In Quito, daylight is the beautiful and bizarre image of the mayor

of El Panecillo.

The eye-catcher of the city.

Where Howard and Ray just arrived.

We arrive in Quito.

Fast in a taxi.

Race to the place where the checkpoint is.

This is the last bit.

We arrive there.

And then it's just a matter of thinking about how many we

would be.

Okay.

We have to look for...

High five.

High five.

High five.

Yes.

Super unclear situation.

We have to walk around the whole building.

Here is the Centro Cultural.

We did that neatly.

We agreed not to run.

And when we see the commander, we'll have a drink first.

Then we'll have a cup of coffee.

And go to the toilet.

We have to pee terribly.

Come on up with that sign.

This is the Centro Cultural.

We did what we had to do.

We are.

Maybe it's in the Centro Cultural.

Are we going in there?

Then we see that donkey.

But we can't see exactly how many pictures are there.

Then we have to walk around it.

And what does it look like?

We are the third.

We are just steady number three.

Yes, beautiful right?

Yes.

We like that.

Then we are very satisfied.

With the third place.

Suppose we are asked.

Do you still feel like it?

During this crazy race.

Then I say yes.

Of course there are times when you are bored of the circumstances.

Or the rules or certain restrictions.

But the experiences we have.

The encounters we have.

That is really incredible.

I hope we can be in it for as long as possible.

More of this.

Very good.

We did it again.

Now we are still looking.

Yes, let's see if it's inside.

Slightly overheated.

Arrives on team Ragas in Quito.

The fanaticism with which these two started in Mexico City is completely

gone.

Enjoyment is now the main goal.

I thought this stage was one of the most fun.

Yes.

But even though we make a very nice journey.

It is still incredibly exhausting.

And to the extent of Ram.

It never broke loose again above Quito.

Poor Bas.

He is not comfortable here.

I believe very strongly in who it is.

If it is not, it would be a pity.

No guys.

My energy level is just minus 10.

We are almost there.

I didn't think it was that bad.

It's 13.40. Well.

Dear Lloyd.

That was it.

What a rain.

Ah, beautiful that lightning.

Fantastic.

Look at the church.

I'm very tired.

Dad is going to sleep.

It's done.

Next time in Race Across the World.

Semhet and Bastiaan get hit.

Okay, quiet.

It's serious.

I don't like it.

I don't understand what's going on here.

Does Hugo suffer from the gringo flu?

And does the team catch up in Peru?

If they are halfway through the journey.

There are moments when I think.

I really don't want this.

I'm broken.

See you next week.

At Race Across the World.
