Very nice place, I can see how Maree wanted to surprice you with it. To bad you two had to go though that "border special" but hey, it all turned out good in the end!
One of the best videos on this channel. It was a great suprise. If you can go from Italy to Tunisia and back, you can certainly do this too. And the full search was funny to watch! It made great video. Thumbs UP!
As a creative guy you should appreciate this kind of Maree's creativity IMHO! There'wasn't a boring second in this video. You should do this more often! (and it's not that you have anything planned for the next month or so) Have fun!
I have to say, respectfully, that as soon as you told them the wrong country, their radar would have gone off, then, not having all of your documents ready to go, looks like being evasive. I’m not at all surprised at the issues you faced. I have done some travelling myself.
It's really nice to watch these two young people. They obviously love each other very much. Marc, take some advice from an old guy, stick with that girl. You were made for each other.
It all turned out well, didn’t it? Kudos to Maree for getting you out of your German comfort zone 😄 And… another installment of Maree Maneuvers. Good job all around! Ride safe. Ride smart. Have fun! Toot-toot!
Hi Marc and Maree, Border challenge overcome. 👍 It will be a story to remember and laugh about when all the stress is gone.😅 Enjoy the next few days in North Macedonia🇲🇰 🇵🇹 Best regards 🇵🇹
Every journey should have surprises, it makes for your viewer's entainment. The quest for you hunting a working charging station, was replaced by a border crossing. Expect to be searched at borders occasionally. However, it's unusual that you were searched leaving a country and not entering it. As usual great drone videos. Maree, he needs training in surprises, it will prepare him for the unexpected in the undeveloped countries.
I am not certain about your travel plans but I would advise you both to have the proper papers in order. I have travel the world with my bike and you could have some bad surprises crossing into some countries! Not to scare you but some people have had their bikes and or cars confiscated by customs! Mexico/Chiapas , just to name one country, is very famous for that! Good luck!
Breathe in, breathe out ... Border crossing was a bit nerving and Maree must have felt awkward when the search was happening ... this wasn't planned after all. I can also feel with you when organising everything in detail, Deutsche gründlichkeit natürlich🤣 I'm glad everything worked out in the end. View is great, hope you guys have a lovely time!
When you have finished would you consider doing a tour of a few bike festivals , doing meet and greet and a talk on the trip with videos and merchandise !
Hey Marc, I know it takes you a long time to edit these videos, we all appreciate the effort you go to, you do a fantastic job I had an idea if you want an easy edit but still want to put out a good vid. A vid from single angle from your helmet cam of you riding on an epic road with some cool background music and maybe a little intro one outtro from you. "Hey guys, let's go for a ride" que epic driving footage... the rest I'm sure you can figure out 😂
Now you know how blessed you are with EU membership. I lived near the border BiH and Croatia, and I usually would get a full search because I was crossing the border every day and sometimes twice a day. Good luck and safe travels! :)
Planning to visit all the former Yugoslavian countries this autumn. Started reading up on border crossings after your previous episode. I see one has to register with police within 48 hours, if one is not staying at a hotel that can do that job for you. Hope that is working out for you guys. Can’t wait for your next videos. 😎
This is actually necessary for almost every country in the world. That’s why they usually ask you at the border where you will stay the first night. Travelers are mostly not aware of it, because they stay in places (hotel, Hostal, campsites, …) where they can register you.
"You know I'm German, right?" Having spent 3 years in beautiful Deutschland, getting to know the people, this put me in stitches laughing! Hey, Marc! SURPRISE! 😅
Ich kann deine Reaktion verstehen! Jetzt was mich die Vergangenheit gelehrt hat: Nimm die Situationen an, die kommen und lerne aus den Erfahrungen. Sie wollte dir eine Überraschung machen, ja und am Ende hast du gesehen wie schön sie war, aber für sie wird sie immer mit deiner negativen Grundstimmung zusammen sein. Die Erlebnisse an der Grenze wären doch auch passiert, wenn ihr geplant hättet dies zu machen. Ehrlich, diese Erfahrung mache ich vielleicht nie, aber du/ihr habt jetzt was zu erzählen. Geht es nicht genau darum? Lade Sie zu einem wunderschönen Essen ein, aber wegen deiner Reue ist du nur einen Salat und erfreust dich an Ihrem üppigen Teller. Und freue dich dass du jemand gefunden hast, der nicht nachtragend ist - hoffentlich! Deutsch sein ist eine schlechte Ausrede!
Ouuuf well it was an adventure maybe not one you guys would want but interesting to see none the less 😉That pit look a dodgy moment with the Jimmy what a pain though everything opened these guys were serious about checking ..Great watch though and probably worth it in the end 😁👌👍
Marc and Marie. Sometimes l am too German! 😅 You are a dream team, you are in it for the ride., look after each other. That place is amazing!!! Can you let us know all the places you stay in please 🙏
No such thing as an "uneccessary search" to a customs officer, having had my car turned out in Germany once looking for drugs as i had come from Belgium , in a Swedish car. No point getting angry with anyone who is just doing their job. I do not do surprises like that either.
Calm down people. When I said “unnecessary searches,” I meant from the point of view of the person being searched… there’re few things quite as frustrating as being made to unpack all your belongings at a border crossing when you know you aren’t trying to smuggle anything across. Unfortunately we live in a world where such searches are required. At such times keeping a level head is needed… hence me congratulating Marc & Marie for keeping their cool despite their frustration.
😂 what an entertaining episode! Thanks for showing us everything; lets us know you a bit better…now I know never to surprise/scare you if we ever meet 😂 i was thinking it must be really strange meeting your followers since we feel we know you but to you we are perfect strangers 🤔
Yes it is strange! Cause of my background as a musician touring all over the world I’m a little bit used to the phenomena but this TH-cam thing is a whole different level of personal exposure! So far I made great experiences meeting viewers and made new friends🤗🙌🏼
I dont think Marie is totally fair at 3:35. You told her that you where exhausted and worn down, and she agreed to take the lead. Well knowing that a border crossing is a stressfull thing for a sensitive man that just told you hes a little low and stressed out at the moment. Then she says 'but what have you prepared? - Nothing!'. Thats not super cool. You handled the situation super cool and kept calm 👍🏻 Respect. You are a lovely couple, dont let youtube control you or your path. TH-cam is a imagine thing in the sky and money will never make you trully happy anyway. Make eachother happy each day instead of us viewers, and just upload when you feel great about it. Lots of love to the both of you!
Thanks mate, we are alright and love each other very much ❤️ I’m very lucky to have her and do this with her! It takes a special person to agree to this kind of adventure especially with all the TH-cam exposure🙌🏼 she’s amazing! Thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Pues ha sido un vídeo muy interesante. Con sus momentos complicados pero bien todo y más experiencia para todos que es lo que al final queda al viajero
I'm not surprised in the slightest 😊 your mix up on countries . Incorrect papers . And mentioning Tunisia (known for drugs) in a changing discussion .. would deffo have peaked their interest towards ... Smugglers ...
Relax, every journey should have it's surprises, thus it results in a great production. Every biker that crossed borders has been search at one time or another. People are interested in
Hi Marc and Maree, o my god i really love to see where your going in the upcoming weeks, we are planning a trip (on 2 motorcycles) in september to the Balkans. Albania and Macedonia are also in the planning, so i watch and look on maps where you are and if i see interesting roads i try to plan our route there. Love your trip greeting Tanja (from the Netherlands)
I expected that the Haussegen would hang a bit schief .... but you took it well. What a pain, but it made great footage. It was lucky that they didn't see you filming. That's normally forbidden at the custom points.
Marc, she royally screwed things up, wrong country, wrong papers, you’re lucky that you didn’t get detained. Marie, just shut it, no excuses, apologize to Marc 😊
I felt so sorry for you (and especially for Maree ). It's not nice, all these unforeseen trouble included in a surprise. But at least your papers are sorted out right now for future border crossings 🤭
Wrong papers and both tell a different stories …, those are red flags for sure. Did Maree ever watched Border Patrol Australia? 😂. Great place to stay by the way 👏
Poor Maree, so well intentioned but never forget “petty officials” live to make problems for innocent travellers. What a lovely place she surprised you with.
I was watching him searching the motorbike thinking there’s not going to be many stash places on that……. But then I realised, im no master criminal and I bet they’ve seen some impressive improvisation so I can only imagine what folk have come up with.
Happy you eventually said thank you to Maree, yes at the border saying the wrong country and then the paperwork being wrong was a huge red flag to the border police 🎉 👮♂️😎
Oops that thing with the luggage was so embarrassing... Hope you are ok though. Have in mind the traffic becomes a little more chaotic well undisciplined. Any plans to pass through Bulgaria?
I don’t want to be disrespectful Marc but when you were solo I couldn’t wait to see your next episode, now it’s seems to be less enjoyable and less intrepid and more annoying. I’m sorry if this is not what you want to hear but you did ask ’why’ and this is my honest answer.
Oh I would NOT have shown the patience, that u do Marc. Maree is sweet, BUT I had gone ballistic. I need to know that ALLES IST IN ORDNUNG, when I travel.... U guys are good together ♥ Btw how tall are U, Marc? In reference to your bike....
It's when it all turns to crap that you get the best stories - if it had all been plain sailing, you'd just be able to tell people 'then we spent a few days in North Macedonia', and tha would be it. As it is, you now have a tale to tell for the rest of your lives! (At least you didn't get held at gunpoint by customs, as I did in Romania .... But this is YOUR channel, not mine! 😂)
I had this stop and search situation in my own country UK because i stopped to stretch my legs on an Airport perimeter road so they tipped my glove box contents onto the grass verge and popped the front door panels away from the door and when they got bored with me i was told if i wanted to complain about the treatment i would have to do some paperwork. so then i said it seemed pointless and the went and left me so pick my shit up cant imagine how much worse it is in another country so hope you dont hold your anger too long because its a very small bit of your life Mr Marc safe travels
Although i was a small child, i can still remember the late 70s and early 80s well, when we traveled by car from Germany to all western European countries (really every country) and often enough not only the passports were checked (especially at the Spanish border)... but I have never experienced or seen any car (not truck) being searched on exit. When a car was searched, it was always upon entry into the next country. You can't really appreciate the Schengen Agreement without experiencing what it's like to cross a border without the Schengen Agreement
@@MarcTravels auf die andere Seite unter uns Männer gesagt Du solltest eventuell etwas flexibler sein wenn man so eine coole Reise macht wie ihr wird dies einiges an Flexibilität fordern denke ich. Sie hatte es nur gut gemeint dieses mal bin ich pro Maree😀 Danke für die super Unterhaltung immer wieder! Steve
Damn, well I guess it was going to happen sooner that later getting searched, pity it happened on the surprise Maree planned. enjoy ..looks lovely place.
Maree chose a great place! But agree that not being in mind set to deal with border crossings is a very unpleasant surprise, even as a nin-Gernan. Lots of triggers to get sent over to be searched--sucks during the event, but indeed was well worth the effort to get to Ohrid! (And nice that it's easy to get new SIM cards when needed--I'm well past millennial, but don't like not getting internet when I want either 😂. But nice to have an "off" button!)
Well, though not being German (well i guess Austrians aren´t that different in many things) i totally understand your reaction. Still, Maree did have the best intentions and i´m glad it worked out fine in the end and for sure won´t be bad for the view counts of that video ;-) Sidenote: you guys consequently filming the "No filming sign" in that garage situation was fun to watch 🤣
No worries.... this is part of the adventure... you both are a very pretty couple. No one is perfect mistakes can happen and beyond the trouble that wasn't so terrible. Marrie only ment well (even though I have the same character with you Marc and I do not like to be surprised) . On any case everything goas well . When you come to Greece 🇬🇷 generally because is a looong story referring noth Macedonia only Macedonia will bring many talks that you don't wanna start just be little aware of that. And something else if you planning Athens on near destination send me a message... I would love to help you as much as I can I even have planning for e small trip with our bikes (and girls) here so you can see beautiful places and ofcourse taste some really epic food 😂😂😂
So that was the first time. They were doing their job. That hole was too wide for Jimny. That was not ok. At the end... All points goes to Maree and Marc. Next time it is not the first time anymore. (C not K)

Yeah true. They also checked many other cars after us 🙈
I think Mary take travelling a bit too lightly. some countries are much worse than this one
Well I've gotta say all that hassle was so worth it to see that view at 16.09 minutes. That harbour is glorious. Enjoy your journey and toot toot.
Thanks mate 🤙🏼
It's really nice to watch these two young people. They obviously love each other very much. Marc, take some advice from an old guy, stick with that girl. You were made for each other.
Awww thanks harry 🤗 I feel the same way and I will try and keep her forever 🙌🏼
😍😍
I'm glad to see the Happy ending! ❤😊 Enjoy the beautiful place, the beautiful view and your beautiful relationship! 😊
Thanks mate 🤙🏼
I really like your channel; it's so different from that from others.
And also take your rest when tired.

Thanks mate, that’s a great compliment 🤗🤙🏼
It all turned out well, didn’t it? Kudos to Maree for getting you out of your German comfort zone 😄
And… another installment of Maree Maneuvers. Good job all around!
Ride safe.
Ride smart.
Have fun!
Toot-toot!
Haha Maree maneuvers 😂
Haa, that was classic, especially the sarcasm. Loved it. Scored well with the room with a view too.
Yes Great Air bnb 🤗🙌🏼
Hi Marc and Maree,
Border challenge overcome. 👍
It will be a story to remember and laugh about when all the stress is gone.😅
Enjoy the next few days in North Macedonia🇲🇰
🇵🇹 Best regards 🇵🇹
Thanks mate 🤙🏼
What amazing views from your Airbnb! Enjoy.
Really cool 🤗🤙🏼
I love the sense of humour. Brilliant! The Tatooine border was the easist 😂😂
Yes 😄
"We came from Tunisia"......😂😂🤫
I wish I was as patient as Marc
"I didn't plan that"
"No, I know you didn't plan that" 😂😂

Ihr seid bisher scheinbar immer recht entspannt über die Grenzen gekommen, da war das mal was anderes - aber mal ganz interessant so als „Beobachter“.
Ja bis her war es immer entspannt 🤙🏼
Ha Ha Brilliant. Laughed all the way through that !!!!!
Glad you enjoyed your surprise in the end ! (Lets not do it again Toot Toot)

Noo😅
I mean to be fair, im surprised thats the first time you’ve had a full search, that maree looks suspect 😝😝🤣

You are one very understanding guy , I was going off my head just watching 😮
Yeah Maree keeps me on my toes 🤣
When you have finished would you consider doing a tour of a few bike festivals , doing meet and greet and a talk on the trip with videos and merchandise !
I wouldn't be suprised if Maree didnt burst in to tears
No she thrives doing stuff like that. I feel like she enjoyes the chaos😅
I think she’s much stronger than that, Marc was the one on the border of a hissy fit!
Love a good pickle 😜🌈

You are a dream team, you are in it for the ride., look after each other.
That place is amazing!!!
Can you let us know all the places you stay in please 🙏
Yeah I might do a video about it one day 🤙🏼
It’s very easy to lose one’s temper with such unnecessary searches… good on you guys for keeping your heads… safe travels
Yeah it was alright in the end 🤗
Loosing one's temper might get you deported, or even worse.

Imaging the whole battery carved out for stuff to smuggle and just a tiny one to get you over the border 🤣 people come up with all kinds of things
Haha, im looking forward to the real border crossings outside of Europe. 🤣 This gonna be fun!
Going to Africa was less stressful 😅
Borders at Maze more trouble for nothin. I’m telling ya! They search and know they will find nothin! 16:21 so cute 😊

cant imagine how much worse it is in another country
so hope you dont hold your anger too long because its a very small bit of your life Mr Marc
safe travels
Yeah we weren’t really angry about it. That sort of stuff will happen along the way 🫣
Cool place. Worth the loss of control 😂😂😂
Yeah its truly beautiful 🤩
Don't be upset with Maree, Sie wollte auch mal was Gutes machen fuer Dich, so Ende gut alles gut. Gute fahrt.
Stimmt! Danke 🤗
Aaaah, how annoying! feel sorry for this experience 😢
Its okay, it was worth it coming to ohrid 🤗
@@MarcTravels das glaub ich sofort! Gute Reise weiterhin! 🚗🏍️
Although i was a small child, i can still remember the late 70s and early 80s well, when we traveled by car from Germany to all western European countries (really every country) and often enough not only the passports were checked (especially at the Spanish border)... but I have never experienced or seen any car (not truck) being searched on exit. When a car was searched, it was always upon entry into the next country.
You can't really appreciate the Schengen Agreement without experiencing what it's like to cross a border without the Schengen Agreement
Absolutely 👍🏼 its a great achievement really 🙌🏼 the EU is a great example of how the world could be 👌🏼
I totally understand your point Mark. I got the same. Cheers :D
Most awkward border crossing ever. Preparation is a must when vehicles are involved
Agreed 🤗
No man is good with surprises... surprises are a girl thing.
Yeah maybe 😅
You both are so funny 😁👍
Its never boring with maree 😅
@@MarcTravels auf die andere Seite unter uns Männer gesagt Du solltest eventuell etwas flexibler sein wenn man so eine coole Reise macht wie ihr wird dies einiges an Flexibilität fordern denke ich. Sie hatte es nur gut gemeint dieses mal bin ich pro Maree😀 Danke für die super Unterhaltung immer wieder! Steve
@@stefanlehmann6723 ja absolut 👍🏼 dank ihr lern ich das 🙌🏼
Damn, well I guess it was going to happen sooner that later getting searched, pity it happened on the surprise Maree planned. enjoy ..looks lovely place.
It’s really great hear 🤗
I wish my wife would give me a surprise 😆
so ....TWO surprises..... Marc got one.... then Maree ... drive over this hole that will swallow your car please!
Can you imagine, what a nightmare
The full monty 😅. A good test for traversing the rest of the globe 😊. But as ever it was worth the patience and effort. Thx to Maree👍
Yes great destination 🤗
Glad it worked out. 😎👍
Yes 🤗
Maree chose a great place! But agree that not being in mind set to deal with border crossings is a very unpleasant surprise, even as a nin-Gernan. Lots of triggers to get sent over to be searched--sucks during the event, but indeed was well worth the effort to get to Ohrid! (And nice that it's easy to get new SIM cards when needed--I'm well past millennial, but don't like not getting internet when I want either 😂. But nice to have an "off" button!)
Yeah it’s just 5€ for 20gb
As soon as you said Tunisia, they were thinking "hashish".
You need to watch a crash course of Itchyboots crossing borders.
I watch all her videos 🙌🏼 trust me every border is different 🫣
@@MarcTravels As a veteran of 43 countries, I couldn't agree more
Just been to Tunisia and I can say that I never smelt hash once. They only seem to grow olives.
Again with the papers not being at hand (around 9min)... I don't get what is so difficult in having all the paperwork together and ready to go.
Yeah that why I like to plan a border crossing in advance so we have everything ready 🤙🏼
Because Maree thought it was also eu I think!
Life begins when your unorganised 😜
I think it's pretty cool she planned thus surprise. 👍 to her.
Yes 👍🏼
Well, though not being German (well i guess Austrians aren´t that different in many things) i totally understand your reaction.
Still, Maree did have the best intentions and i´m glad it worked out fine in the end and for sure won´t be bad for the view counts of that video ;-)
Sidenote: you guys consequently filming the "No filming sign" in that garage situation was fun to watch 🤣
I guess they were doing there job and I was doing mine 🎬🫣
No worries.... this is part of the adventure... you both are a very pretty couple. No one is perfect mistakes can happen and beyond the trouble that wasn't so terrible. Marrie only ment well (even though I have the same character with you Marc and I do not like to be surprised) . On any case everything goas well .
When you come to Greece 🇬🇷 generally because is a looong story referring noth Macedonia only Macedonia will bring many talks that you don't wanna start just be little aware of that.
And something else if you planning Athens on near destination send me a message... I would love to help you as much as I can I even have planning for e small trip with our bikes (and girls) here so you can see beautiful places and ofcourse taste some really epic food 😂😂😂
Thanks mate i will get back to you if I come to Athens 🤙🏼
Haha you are a patient man, she means well.
She does 🤗
What a lovely surprise……..
Happy End 🤗
I love surprises like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So that was the first time.
They were doing their job.
That hole was too wide for Jimny. That was not ok.
At the end...
All points goes to Maree and Marc.
Next time it is not the first time anymore.
(C not K)
Yeah and we had a great arrival 🤙🏼
You will look back at this and laugh. What an amazing place to stay. Stay safe toot toot.
True 🙌🏼
I was already laughing in the moment 🫢
🙄oh, der Grenzübertritt, wie früher von W- nach Ostdeutschland🤨
Ja krass oder? Da fühlt man sich immer ein bisschen wie ein krimineller 😅🫣
Himmel, hilf!!!!!😱
Hehe alles ausräumen n muss ten wir bis jetzt auch noch nicht 😄
You should have a secondary channel focused on crossing borders, papers, insurances and that kind of stuff. You must be an expert now 😅
Far from it 😅 its always different really, and always feels new🙈
Oh boy….what a nightmare! But the unexpected is present , stay together and carry on... Good luck and enjoy ❤✌
Thanks mate 🤙🏼
