We quickly voted Seattle the friendliest city in all of the United States! Hospitality ran high – in our week here we had 4 dinner invites from complete strangers! Thanks to Don & Debbie Prescott, Tom & Jan Hunter (another Pan-Americaner) and the Gold Wing crowd – Phil, Scott & Lynette. In this time ‘Ride […]

Leaving Argentina, Back on the Ripio, BM Trouble-Ewes!, On to San Pedro de Atacama
Monday 5th April was a sad day, it was the day we peeled ourselves away from El Castillo. On the previous evening we celebrated our departure over a plate of Ceviche – a Chilean delicacy consisting of several kinds of raw fish & seafood marinated in lemon juice, coriander leaves and some cumin. Maria’s mother […]
Salta, El Castillo, Good Company & the Road of Many Colours!
Every now and again on a long trip like this, you come across a real treasure find. It may be some beautiful scenery, impressive architecture or a stunning road on the bike, but now and again it comes in the form of a special accommodation, an oasis on the road where you can rest in […]
Across the Gran Chaco, Victory against the Snakes and on to Salta!
Thursday 26th March – we had a sad farewell with Monica Ponces, the lovely owner of the Cabaña Leñador in Puerto Iguazú. Over the 5 nights we stayed here, we both agreed that it has been one of our finest accommodations to date. It is set in a beautiful location with a jungly feel to […]
Iguazú Falls
We spent yesterday on the Argentine side of the Iguazú Falls. If you have a passion in life, a hobby or even a general interest then there is always some focus, a heaven, a consummate collection of whatever it is that has caught your eye. For example a train spotter may drool at the prospect […]
La Aripuca & Güirá Oga
Before exploring the Falls themselves we had a lazy Sunday at the Cabaña, where we took some short walks to find some hidden nuggets right on our doorstep. First off was ‘La Aripuca’ – a wonderful world of wood! The entryway was through the stump of a dead rainforest tree. The tree had been killed […]
Cordoba, Snakes & Ladders, On to Iguazú
We had a fairly quiet few days in Cordoba, waiting for the new fuel pump to arrive. It was a good time to walk the city streets, look in the shops and enjoy some fine food in some fine restaurants. It is a pleasant enough city for all of these amenities but, like Mendoza, there […]
Leaving Mendoza – Fuel Crisis! Valle de La Luna – Breakdown! Cordoba
What a week it’s been! New plans made at the start of the week are already broken, we have had some more fun with Di Funta Correa, we have had a successful return to riding on the Ripio in some awesome scenery (desert this time), and are now in Cordoba with one dead bike. All […]
Vendimia in Mendoza
Well, the fruit harvest has at last been gathered – that we can attest to from the number of ancient lorries we passed on the road to Mendoza, laden down to the axle stops with tons of blushing ripe grapes on their way to the wineries for pressing. A beautiful thing to overtake, as they […]
San Rafael
We left San Martin and its grey skies on Sunday morning, on a leap year 29th February, to ride north towards Mendoza. From Mario, we learned that next weekend there is a huge Wine festival – the ‘Vendimia’, celebrating the annual grape harvest and sounding like a wine flavoured Oktoberfest! Within 25 miles at San […]
