Leaving CT was a bit of a laugh, I’d put my phone as a GPS but then it fell down to the floor and as I was on the motorway I could not stop and pick it up, so I had to back track a bit. It’s a right hand drive so instead of indicators being turned on there was a lot of wipers being turned on. I can shift gears fine but the indicator stalks position is so deeply engraved in the medula that is on the the right side of the steering wheel and not on the left. I have not had any problems with being on the wrong side of the road whilst riding but when crossing on foot I look to my left instead of my right, well I’ve survived so far… ... read more

I do’t like freeways nor congested cities, well I got my fill going through Vancouver and down to the border, into the US, strangely enough no major questions asked by the lass in the border control, it must be my good looks and impeccable dress and spotlessly clean motor bike. I stay in yet another motel around Bellingham as my plans were to visit the Boeing factory. Quite interesting but I would have liked more technology. So then I went up to the Olympic(?) peninsula and followed the coast aiming for Aberdeen, it looked good on the map but reality was another thing. The sun had chosen to go away as well as the fog rolled in from the ocean it got cold or at least cool. They've got rain forests out there, some people call ... read more

Woke up late. Set off after bacon and eggs. Pleasant trip to Oslo. Satnav tried to take us into centre but crowded and issues with one ways so gave up and got back on main road. Made one final stop in Norway at service station and bought ice creams to spend some of our cash. Crossed over into Sweden with no controls and found a pleasant picnic site for lunch. Stayed on motorway pass Goteburg and parked up at simple site by sandy beach in Varberg. ... read more

I'm not going to bore you with a lot of words, mainly because words are not enough to describe the nature in Norway. So close to home and so fantastic, but that's about it. Norway is expensive beyond belief and the food is crap. I sped through some of the best parts with a Polish bloke who had his itenerary down to a T. I had no plans beyond Trollstigen and Geiranger, good for me that I met my guide on one of the many ferries. Norway has many ferries and many tunnels, even spiral shaped tunnels when the fjords are too steep to handle switch backs. The weather was cold and pretty miserable up in the mountains and we're talking 1300 m + Anyway worth every penny and then some. Ah yes I'm going back! ... read more

Run like hell as my musicals gods aptly called a song. These last few days I've been running around like hell, not doing very much but as always I promise and then I hold myself to my promises. But now at the airport I'm free writing on a Mac as the Windows 8.1 is worse than stewed liver. I bought a nice little Lenovo thingy that promised the world and did not fullfil any of it's promises, so I took it back and got my money back. Then i looked fora second hand and found one in an unopened box that I could not open unless I payed, this computer was showed to me by a girl who came with it in a paper bag. I did not buy it, believe it or not, i ended ... read more

Am Freitag um 11 Uhr trafen wir auf dem Campingplatz Apelviken in Varberg ein. Der Platz ist riessig er beherbergt in der Hauptsaison bis zu 500 Touristen. Auch jetzt, obwohl noch Vorsaison, war der Platz schon zu schätzungsweise dreiviertel besetzt. Schön am Meer gelegen, hat er nebst einem beheizten Pool, gratis Internet hotspot, jede Menge Sanitäranlagen und Aktivitäten für Kids. Er liegt etwa vier Kilometer von Varberg entfernt. Man kann auf einem Fussweg am Meer entlang in die Stadt laufen. In der Gegend beginnt langsam die Schärenlandschaft der schwedischen Nordseeküste. Nach der Installation unseres Reisemobils, machten wir uns auf den Weg in die Stadt. Am Meer waren die Badeplätze schon von Sonnenhungrigen belegt. Die meisten begnügten sich jedoch mit sonnen, nur ein paar Unerschrockene wagten sich ins kalte Wasser der Nordsee. Varberg ist eine überschaubare kleine ... read more

After a horrid Argie breakfast with the normal sweet croissant and some other cake, sweet as well, the piece de resistance was coffe made with a coffee bag, it tasted like brown water, how deep will the Argies fall before they realise that breakfast has to be more than sugar and wannabe coffee? In Chile you'd at least get instant coffee and eggs, still it was nice to be back in Argie, home away from home maybe? After another long days trek we finally arrive in Baires, I leave my little baby at her grannies flat and set of to my lodgings, chez Marisa and Jorge total hospitality and friendship to go, definitively a home away from home. I schlep my bag up to my room and go down to deliver an account of our ins ... read more
