Gerardo out there Hola Amigos,
Today in my house in the lost Patagonia, after a trip of nearly four days and 3500 kms I am in my house with temperatures between 7 and 0 º C, but happy to be here with my wife and kids, and sad that the adventure has ended, for me it was the best adventure in a moto of my life and with a group of Kiwis was a lesson of life, but I have to wait to write the few letters because I don't have the time to do it, I have to come back to my job and all my life that was forgotten for nearly 2 months.
I have fun from the beginning to the end, even with the stress of the accidents of Alec and Charlie.
I ended the trip, with a different motorcycle, is more light and will never be the same, now I will rebuilt it, after the little corrugation roads of Bolivia, what a lot of remembers, how can I forget of James Blond and his lesson on how to do piss in a road, or our arriving to Paso Cajones in Bolivia, or the Kawasaki Team and their positive
spirit, and their war anthem Muy Bueno...................., and the Malbec of Klaus, today I bought a bottle of Malbec in the supermarket, red wine that I never drink because my preference is the white wine, but today looking for wine I choose that kind of wine, so I will try it tonight with friends, because today I am invited to a barbecue and talk about our adventure.
How can I forget about our days in Laguna Colorada and Villa Alota, the Scotish flag on the back of Alec, the 25 years of age of Charlie in La Paz, the master of the KTM, the emeralds that he was always looking to buy for his wife by Zane, the different shirts and pullovers that Allan bought in his trip, the beers or the pisco souer that we always drink when we arrive to the hotels after a day of having fun in the roads of South America.
My experience in motorcycles, began when I was 13 years of age, with a Honda Dax 70 and then ride motorcycles, but in short distances and with other type of motos like trails, enduro or motocross, in the field and off road,

Time out and 5 years ago I bought with my brother a Honda CB Hurricane 750, but because of the bloody weather of my place I ride it only 5 days in the year, and now doing the trip to the High Andes with a new motorbike BMW F650 GS with only 1500 km on it, but these was spectacular, never I feel tired, I think because of the adrenaline that was always running in my blood, was the best holidays of my entire life, how I can forget of the trip between Chilecito an Andalgala with rain and mud, crossing rivers, and with the expectation of not knowing what will happen.
I remember when I see Cristian in San Pedro de Atacama with his yellow bike with all the equipment and the original panniers from BMW, a very friendly person, and of course I could speak my native language with him, what nice it was, and also I take advantage of the opportunity to apologize for my English.
How can I forget the southern comfort that we drink before the beginning of the trip with my partner Rosco, or when he find the hotel in La Paz so easy,

Taking it all in at Machu Picchu maybe was his instint, Lance will now what I mean, when Tom lend me the mosquito repellet to fight against them in the hotel in Chilecito, that finally I lost in Cusco with the Peruvian that steal us, or his phrase “These is not a holiday camp”.
When the guide of Machu Pichu tell us the story when we were coming back to Cusco, of the frog with a size of a VW beetle, that was found in a lake, and Lance and Zane the owner of the truck is looking where you live to send to you a catalogue of tires, so you can choose in the next trip what kind do you want, je, je
And we must remember that when we were 13, that number was broken by an accident, so maybe we have to internalize that is a bad number.
For you all, friends now un gran abrazo, and maybe we can see us all again, hope that in Patagonia some time, you have your house and your friend waiting for you, hasta pronto
Gerardo
