ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Welcome back listeners. You could be forgiven for thinking that nothing has happened in the 14 months since I last put a post on this blogsite. And you'd be right! Well, not much anyway. Some riding in Oz, the east coast & the centre, and a quick non-bike trip to Borneo, and oh yes, I bought a new bike (KLR650), to go where I'm not prepared to take the BM. But since having had a big serve of adventure in 08, I have never stopped scheming about what I was going to do next. I have decided to act on my half baked plan to visit South America. This will be a short trip of only 3 weeks to Argentina & Chile through Compass Expeditions, & I'm thinking of it as an exploratory foray which will influence what I do afterwards. So this time, its pay the money, hire a bike & let them do the worrying, while the other punters & I do the riding. I arrive in Buenos Aries on 30 November. After a couple of days sightseeing, the group flies to Ushuaia, where we collect the bikes (BMW F650 GS), then head north, criss crossing the border between the two countries on our way up to Santiago. I then fly back to BsAs to connect with my flight back to Oz, arriving back in Adelaide at 10.30 pm on Christmas Eve. That's the plan --- let's see how it unfolds!
