So back on the road for the last 2 days travel into Buenos Aires. Still not without some potential drama due to the busy roads,but also the fact that "Mana" was starting to run a little rough (maybe just bad fuel) but both tyres are now looking like a pair of racing slicks.....not sure if they would make the last 500 k's...
One last night with the camp set up, we've camped alot due to the price of accommodation and while most of the camps have been horrible due to noisy outsides, it has saved us the precious $$ that are fast running out.
Into town we arrived and amazed at our own ability not to get too lost in a place of 14 million folks.
Got to our accommodation with out incident and under a warm blue sky. had made a booking for the time left here on the Internet and eager to see what we had booked. Cath leaves in about 5 days but I don't fly out until the 12th as I have to try and organize the shipping of the bike yet.
So with that, we will sign off the blog.
I've been on the road now for almost 3 months and covered 24000 k's. Been through 14 countries, 28 boarder crossings, sailed with bike on board and just about all the weather that's available. The last 8000ks of course have been 2 up with Cath "it's different from Behind" which has added to this amazing experience.
With all the worlds events leading up to this happening, it would have been easier to put it off for a period of time and let things settle, which is what a few people felt I should have done. But what happens then, it's just replaced with some other event, and before you know it you've missed out again on experiencing something that you just can't describe yet alone watch on the discovery channel.
I would not have changed a thing on this whole experience and I'm sure will find it hard to settle back into doing what I must and get back to work, but sure am going to miss life on the road...... although I do hear that Brazil is great this time of the year........
Cheers
Kiwi on wheels......
