Now that I’ve experienced the Abel Tasman, the highlight of the north of the south island (i just like saying that) can be crossed off my list and now I must continue to the south of the south island! 😉 Back toward Nelson and over the west coast.. It’s another beautiful day to ride a motorcycle in New Zealand! I made my way to Punakaiki also known as...
Fast forward 1650 kilometers.. Riding from northern Argentina down is simply flat boring farmland, a very long ride and super super hot! No photos, no need to stop, we are making tracks because the sooner we get south, the sooner we will be in some cooler air. We came down past Cordoba, Rio Cuarto, and west to San Luis. The next town is Mendoza, which is a popular...
Good morning from the Amazon! My favorite part of the day. Sleeping amongst the amazing sounds of the jungle and waking up to even more unique bird songs me happy. I know there is another tough day ahead, but for now, just enjoying what I see, hear and smell. Good thing I took a moment to be happy because within moments of being on the road today, we come to this...
KTM’s on the loose! Petar and I have two different objectives. He wants to continue his South American adventure by traveling through Bolivia. I don’t want to go back to Bolivia for anything, however it was the shortest distance for me to travel to renew my Peruvian visa. Petar worked long and hard to convince me to travel with him to Bolivia, I can...
The three of us ride our motorcycles into Cusco with no intentions of hanging around other than getting some super desperately needed laundry clean. I will return to Cusco later. We are so close to one of the main reasons for being in this part of the world. Machu Picchu !!!! We all have been trying to figure out for ages how to RIDE the motorcycles to Machu. Kevin...
From Santiago I decided to ride straight over to Mendoza Argentina. I didn’t really want to go there, as it was the last place Kevin and I decided to meet on his way down here before he died. Mendoza is wine country and we thought it would be fun to meet there to enjoy the wineries. So going there alone did not appeal to me at all. However it is the perfect...
The day after Kevin died, Walter and Barton decide we should not ride as intended. At lunch time, they made another decision that they should get Sherri Jo drunk.. “Kevin would want you to get drunk..”. They’ve never met Kevin, however they were doing anything they could to cheer me up, so I went to lunch with them. I had two sips of a pisco sour...
The last two posts have been one long desert road over four days and all I can say is the next two days were the same. I rarely pulled the camera out as I just wanted to get to Copiapo and didn’t see the point of more sandy dusty shots. I needed to take a photo (below) of the beachside home/shelter. Of all things they don’t have, what they do have is a...
Internet!! We have been about 3 weeks without any decent internet or no internet at all.. Another late blog post, but we’ll get it done eventually! 😉 Have you seen enough photos of iguanas and sea lions yet?? Finally time to wrap up the Galapagos. Again I apologize for the overload of photos, but everyone and everything poses so well here we can’t...
We lined up early on the dock in San Cristobal Island to take the 7 AM water taxi to Puerto Ayora. What a ride!!!!! The water taxi was overly packed with people. Luckily Kevin and I bought our tickets yesterday. Even more lucky we got a part of the bench under a cover, because little did we know how choppy it would be and the passengers outside where hammered...
