marie´s getaway

inside the ferry: two floors and an upper deck

The last few days Mo has been busy working on selling the bike in Buenos Aires. The legality of transfering the title is possible, but costly. I decided to head across the river to Uruguay for a short trip. Colonia is only 3 hours away from Buenos Aires. The tickets are somewhat pricey, about 30usd but the ferry is gigantic and very comfortable.

9 de julio with its seven lanes in each direction! plus a service road to an underground parking lot plus two more lanes flanking each direction!! when the light turned green we had to nearly run across the wide street

thanksgiving day wipeout

These were the guys that helped fix the tube (they even washed it). The man in the middle was our driver, he was very kind to us and stayed with us until the bike was fixed.

Minutes after our wipe-out a nice man stopped to help us. The bike barely fit in his work truck. We had to leave the back doors open resulting in an extremely dusty 10 mile ride. The roads were so bad that the short ride took nearly 1 hour.

After the ride we were covered in dust! HOT!

Marie caught me at a telling moment. The wipe-out was in first gear around 10 mph on a dirt road. The rear tire wore a hole in the tube over the past 12000miles, additionally the previous owner drove the moto RT to Alaska with the same tube.

on the argentinian side of the mountains! the weather was much warmer here.

the tallest of these mountains reached nearly 7,000 meters! luckily we had good weather (no snow) on this remote road.
