Yesterday a photo of Dog kissing the Tar road after the Bastard Road emerged, he said it was not just a symbolic kiss, but a proper open-mouth kiss as he was also, like me, very glad when the gravel with its marbled-stone-sections ended.
Peens collapsed into his bed yesterday when we arrived at our hotel, and now, 28 hours later, he has still not come out of our room, well, now it is his room, as I quickly got myself my own room yesterday when I saw how sick he was.… Read More
Last night we went walking around our little town and stopped for a glass of wine at this lovely restaurant. We had to sit outside as the inside was fully booked for the evening. It was a very smart restaurant inside with linen Tablecloths and Serviettes, something I have missed and not seen in almost 3 weeks. There was a seating area around a glass window, on comfortable Bar Chairs from where some dinners could look inside at the chefs who was cooking and garnishing the plates, almost like a Chef’s Table we had in the olden days inside the 5 Star Hotels kitchens.… Read More
Last night we went off to a Braai Restaurant to celebrate the end of Leg 22. It was great. Peens also, like the Biblical Lazarus, got of from his bed and joined us. Pie also showed up and did not say anything about his new friendship.
This morning during breakfast Rocky balanced our Kitty (the finances of the trip.) Note the toast and coffee on our table.… Read More
Finally, on the very last Leg of our little KTM World Tour I got the packing right, I left everything at the bike (after I had it washed,) and made proper notes this time of what I need to take. Two new Hand Guard Protectors, Foot Powder and Nail Clippers. That, plus my toiletries and a warm sweater, all the chargers and my computer and spare phone is all I need to take.… Read More
The guys with the most technical skills always flies a few days before the rest of us. They hate paying a Machanic to do work on their bikes if they know they could do it themselves. I am lucky, I dont have those skills, so I pay people to work on DadAss, but Pie and Peens were the 1st to arrive in South America and are busy working on their bikes as I am sitting in the Airport Lounge writing this.… Read More
Eventually we are all here, I left my house on Sunday at 12h00 and arrived here in El Calafate at 16h00 Monday, by I had to turn my watch back 5 hours, so I arrived at 21h00 South African time. I did have a 6 hour lay-over in Sao Paulo, just enough time for a shower and a few hours horizontal in the airport hotel.… Read More
Yesterday I said we would head for Puerto Arenas today, well, all the Puerto’s had me confused, today was Puerto Natales, tomorrow is Puerto Arenas. FYI, I decided to take more time on the blog and proof read it before I send it, and guess what, this bloody AI changed the name above from Puerto Natales to Puerto Natalie !!!!!!! Stupid A.I.… Read More
Today is the 2nd day that I have to apologies for giving you the wrong information, once again we are not in Punto Arenas, but this time I can blame it all on the weather. We always have one eye on the Weather Apps, and these Apps are telling us that the weather window we have hoped for is closing due to a “Front” moving in from Antartica, which is only 1000km away.… Read More
Last night after all 7 bikes got new Brake Fluid, on the pavement, the guys sat in the reception of out little Gran Hotel (definitely not that the D fell off from the name sign as nothing was GranD, except the floor tiles which were very shiny and slippery, and ate some Biltong and drank a whisky each while I was finishing off the Blog.… Read More
Last night we took a Taxi back into the “Centro” of Ushuaia. Peens chose a restaurant, Isabellas, all the food were stews served in big pans. We ordered only 3 Pans and at the end of the meal there were still a few potatos, bones and sauce left in each pan. I told the guys that my mother taught me not to waste any food.… Read More
