Trabantem do posledního dechu

Ew!

Ever heard of people who buy a dog and end up looking like it?

- Have you? - Yeah.

Well you bought a Trabant and you look like one.

You're slow and broken.

Holy shit!

TRABANT - FROM AUSTRALIA TO BANGKOK

After six months of preparations, and a month-long fight for our cars

with Australian authorities, we're finally on our way.

We're happier than a tornado in a trailer park.

After 400 km the asphalt gives way to Australian outback.

Our final destination lies far in the hot North.

We're about to cross Australia to reach Southeast Asia.

If all the gods and godlings of the Southern Hemisphere stand by us,

we'll make it to Bangkok.

Everything OK?

Everything OK?

I guess it is.

It's cold.

The one thing we underestimated

about Australia is how cold it gets at night in winter.

- Good morning. - Good morning, ugly dwarf.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

When I was packing that sweater I thought:

"Who are you kidding, you'll use it as a pillow."

Now I would have appreciated having my knitted socks from granny.

I think that the advantage of this tent in these conditions is that

you fart your way to comfort easily.

But that's why it's all wet inside.

You're right.

I wanted to open the window.

Fuck it.

Australia and its endless wilderness.

It's 4WD access only.

None of our yellow circus vehicles has it.

But we have something better:

we're a bunch of crazy tough cookies.

- This is a nice track! - It is, so far.

I like it so far.

These are some fine holes!

But everyone is doing fine.

We're probably the most unlikely set that has ever crossed Australia.

But you'd hardly find another one more determined to prove that

where there's a will, there's a way.

Awesome, everyone's alive.

Kuba might be in a wheelchair

but he does things that even people with both legs don't dare.

I see a light!

As he says: Worst case scenario is I'll end up in a wheelchair.

I swallowed a bug on top of that!

- What's this? - This is neutral.

- This is neutral? - Yes it is.

This is first gear. No need to push it further.

No.

Shift it up for second gear.

Since her ski fall two years ago, Kika can't walk but she's already

hitchhiked through Central America.

Now it's time to learn to drive again.

How's Kika's driving?

She's driving OK.

Marcin!

And this is the Polish crew.

Radek, where's Marcin?

If you want to have a lot of fun, take them along.

I didn't even know he left.

Radek is the biggest lunatic we know.

It's freaking us out that compared to Marcin he looks responsible.

Marcin!

We've been looking for you for two hours.

- Where? - Everywhere.

Marek is an immortal biker and optimist

endowed with the ability to keep driving in situations

when a normal person would be already rolling on the ground.

- So? - All good.

Zdenek is our cameraman.

He's everywhere even when you don't see him.

Unless he forgets to turn off the camera.

Vojta is a great photographer and also a car stereo replacement.

- Your root vegetables look nice today. - His only downside is no off button.

So we'll get wasted.

So we'll get wasted.

When a hare falls in love with a goat...

And we'll have shit-all nothing.

And we'll have shit-all nothing.

And we'll have shit-all nothing.

- We'll build it for you. - How?

Imagine two tires with boards on top and a gap between them.

- You want me to sit astride? - Of course.

Board, board, gap.

Kika is here.

- One leg, other leg. - Why would she sit like this?

- She could be seated like this. - I can't, I wouldn't stay on.

- She will stay on like this. - We can give it a try.

- To build a shitter you need... - For shitting.

Two boards, two tyres, spanner 19.

Let's find the right place.

Men build something all their life and women just don't give a shit.

Kika!

What's your required hole depth?

Roughly two kilos.

- Do you need help? - No, I can do it myself.

- Like this? - Yes, of course!

- I'll manage, guys, thanks! - Here's a trowel to cover it up.

- Thank you! Bye! - Bye!

Dominika is barely 1.5 meters tall

but she rode alone on her motorcycle to Kyrgyzstan and back.

The deep sand and a bike twice her age are giving her a hard time.

- Do you want me to ride? - I don't know.

- I can ride. - Or Radek...

- What? - Radek can ride...

- Radek is who knows where. - You go.

- I'll ride. - My ankle hurts quite a lot.

And finally Dan, the expedition chief,

who came up with this whole idea.

Safety is not his strong point,

but tell him something can't be done and he will give it a try.

- It went all the way up here. - Dan, you're getting younger!

- You're getting younger on the bike. - All the way up here.

- But you don't have a helmet. - Because none fits my head.

- Let Radek ride. - But I like it on the bike.

I promise I won't drive at 100 but only at 80.

I'll kill him if he falls down.

She's small but she'd probably really do it.

They're a couple with Dan which has its advantages and drawbacks.

Handling it all together is definitely a big challenge.

One of the biggest challenges of this trip.

They're slipping off. And so are we.

Dan crashed.

Dan crashed.

Ouch.

- Are you OK? - Yeah.

I told you it was a crazy idea.

What about your head?

Is it injured? There's blood.

- Does it hurt? - It's the shock. It'll start in 20 minutes.

- I'll put my shirt on and let's go. - No!

Come here.

OK. Stay put!

Damn adrenaline.

He would get back on the bike again.

I will!

Don't do it!

Why not?

- I'll give it a thought. - No, you'll promise.

They took my bike!

And I was doing so well!

And Dan took the wheel from me!

I ended up once in the bushes...

Attention, attention! There's water on the right.

Wow, excellent.

That's incredible patent!

But it's works.

Don't look and drink.

We could just take some water and filter it tonight.

It's good, right?

You can filter puddle water directly into your mouth.

Are you all in the back OK?

- We're OK! - We're OK and cruising.

She's going faster. She's gained confidence.

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Are you OK?

The light is broken. The fender as well.

And the handlebars.

Holy shit.

How's your leg?

There was a rock?

Don't move, love.

- It should be ok. - You hit it pretty hard.

Dominika are you OK?

I'm half OK.

I hurt all over but I'm OK.

- I'm also half OK. - I'm three fourths OK.

I don't know. I think it's a needless risk.

How does it start?

We tackled the Holland Track.

We tackled the Holland Track. We tackled the Holland Track.

No one believed it.

No one believed it.

We're not dead. We're not dead.

Maluch survived, Jawa and Čezeta as well.

We're past our first baptism by fire and first 1000 kilometers.

We didn't expect to get so beaten up but if we made it this far,

we'll handle anything.

Steal, steal, steal, steal.

I'll wipe my ass with it, not with the finger like Radek.

We're looking for accommodation but Australia is expensive.

So we're looking for something cheap or free.

Marcin went looking for something.

We'll be sleeping by the trucks?

I think it's a Polish quality.

They have this amazing ability to get things for free.

That's what matters even if it takes too long and it doesn't pay off.

This is how the whole world will end up.

The wheel of fortune!

Holy shit, it's so long!

It's behind you and going fast.

It's overtaking you!

It's huge!

It'll tear you to pieces.

It pushed you off the road!
