This sounds absolutely amazing. Question i am in south Africa and if so can i not hire a bike in chile and what would the cost be for myself only or is this not possible.I would love to do this as Ross and myself went to school together in tokoroa and we were bosom pals
Help! I want to ship my bicycle to Chile. What company you contacted for shipping motorbikes from New Zealand to Chile? How much is it? Is it a container service?
... happily ever after. So sorry to hear of your travails when you thought the trials and torments were all behind you. Thank the gods for fearless fairy friends. With love from sunny England.
WOW!! G'Day from Cable Bay! We have just returned from 8 weeks SI trip with some escapades my naviguesser reckons were a bit scary, but not as scary as yours but I suspect just as beautiful.......really went "off road" in the van but being sensible managed to experience things that most miss out on. Havent been looking at your blogs while away but enjoying them now. Safe travels. Dave D
what a road What sort of road do you call that, looks great fun but why not go straight down the hill, doesn't look that steep. LOL. What a wonderful trip you guy's have had but I bet your getting a bit low on energy by now. Its been a lot of fun following your ride, if I could I would do it myself, catch ya later Peter and Scratch looking forward to hearing all about it. J & K
Hello Rosco from Awanui What a special couple of days I have had with Raewyn - in the peaceful surrounds of the property. The weather has been ideal after the 37 - 42 I left. Have spent time with your travel books and this blog. Keep thinking the countries you travel in are like an artist's pallet. Stunning contrasts for others to enjoy through the lens! I have 17 days in NZ and head back to Whangarei this afternoon. Raewyn and I are off to Kaitaia to the markets this morning. Nice to have a chat. Love from Kay
Happy Easter from the West! Looks like you are having a intresting time over there, but nothing you can not handle with a cop batch in the pocket!Dirive save and enjoy the rest of the trip!
A $50 dollar bill can go a long way So the Bolivians stole your words? Looks like they are back. Glad Shane was able to fix it. Love your mascots. We travel with a couple ourselves. Love the perspective of your blog.
No words with the Blog Hi all, sorry, but for some strange Bolivian Internet reason no words came with this blog. I will try and find them and post again. Cheers, Rosco
The old EFTPOS not working trick Always the way over there, the locals trying to get cash.
Looks like you guys are having a great time.
Keep up the great trip reports Rosco.
Cheers Michael
For Don Hope the altitude was OK for you cos there's a bit to go yet.
Sounds like you're having an interesting time.
Roll on the faithful dog rooter.
Buena suerte, buena salud y buen motor
Headlines (pardon the pun!) Trust you to make the most of a situation! Was so relieved that it was Howard's moto and not his actual head that you were referring to! Get used to the altitude guys, you're up there for some time! Happy riding!
cracked head Hi Guys magic to read the blobs. Keep them coming.
On the engine with the oil leak leave the top bolt out. Ensure the rest are tight. You dont really need that bolt anyway with that style of riding. Wish I was there. All the best.
So funny! That blog had me in stitches! Go Howard!I think you write like you ride - fast!
Love to hear from the others - great to get different perspectives on the journey.
It is wonderful to know you are enjoying where we travelled in 2012! Keep having max fun boyz!
I organise Rosco's Rocky Road Adventures,on motorcycles to Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. We ship dual purpose motocycles in a container from New Zealand to Chile and ride from there.
