Looking brand new !
Hi Guys, just a blog to wish you all safe travels to Santiago.
Keith and Mike have gone already, and will fly down to Punta Arenas, then catch a boat up through the fiords of Southern Chile to Puerto Montt, then flying up to Santiago to meet at the airport for transfer to Vina del Mar.

I go on Saturday, while Gerardo is driving our chase truck the 3,000km from Punta Arenas to Santiago for us, so there is no more time to do anymore planning, just cutting bloody grass up here in the Far North, it just won't stop growing !! so, what will be will be.....

Tom’s moto is now safe and sound at Santiago Airport, after flying in from Luxembourg yesterday, our container of moto’s are also safely in Chile, so that is very important for an Adventure ride !, all we have to do now is clear the mountain of customs/import paper work.

Well, there is not much more to say, except to thank you all for the confidence that you have with Gerardo and me, to give you an adventure of a lifetime, and on YOUR OWN motorcycle, or in Lance and Zane’s

case a brand new truck, that will NEVER look like the photo ever again, I'm sure !!

Rocky is getting pretty excited now as he thought we were only going to a Teddy Bears Picnic, not a REAL AdVENTURE.....

See you all in Chile.
Don’t forget to get your interested friends/family to ‘Subscribe’ and they will just get an e-mail to tell them when the blog has been updated, saves logging on to find that we have been having too much fun to ‘update’.
Let the Adventure begin,
Un abrazo, Rosco

maps
for us who like looking at pictures, how about a map with a snail trail of where you are going, or better still where you have been.

Maps on the Blog
Hi Sparkle, that request is a bit beyond me at this point in time. I could put our itinary on, then you could see where we are SUPOSSED to be !!, but you would have to get a map of South America, Collins put out a good one. Hope this will help. Cheers, Rosco
