... quite a lot of TLC from what I could see! A bit of peeking inside revealed the placards and the fact it was actually a 5J1 model, exactly the same as good old G-AJRB I flew a lot at Sywell a few years ago but yellow! Many thanks to Adrian for his time and showing the us his wonderful piece of history and telling us the associated stories. Next step is find out where on the production line it was in relation to G-AJRB! Amazing to find so far from home :-)
On the move once more, on the edge of the town we got stopped at a police checkpoint and one of them asked for a lift to the border, unfortunately he could not speak much English so it was a fairly quite time. On arrival at the border we parked up and went in, at the first desk, easily found as it had a large one written up we handed over the passports and got stamped out. At the same desk they gave us a piece of paper which we had to get stamped at each desk as proof of attendance, a ...
Cert és que hi ha més Historia en un metre quadrat de qualsevol ciutat del món que en tota la envergadura de l'Estret de Magallanes. Expliquen més contes un parc, un jardí o una paret de Londres, Barcelona o París, que tota l'aigua salada d'aquell canal perdut en els confins de la terra. No és menys cert, però, que aquella història ...
Rio Grande, Argentina tomacaLong day in truck Bec 21/3: Today was penguin day..YAY! We visited the penguin colony of Seno Otway seeing many Magellan penguins, so so cute. They are a very family orientated little group as they always keep the same partner for life and return to the same colony for the breading season.....no single penguins are allowed! We continued into Argentina today after another long drive and stopped over ...
Rio Grande, Argentina markandbecsWe crossed the Magellan Straights today on our way to Rio Grande - woooo!!!!. In Rio Grande we had the chance to put up our tents or sleep all together in a gym. Some out their tents up, but looking at the point that it was already 20:00 I decided for the gym. Rio Grande is a really **** whole - nothing to do, looking like a run down american ...
Rio Grande, Argentina vagabond-ing... wine (he´d bought stuff for both of us that was on special, I thought it was fine but then I´ve been drinking a lot of cheap wine lately) while we cooked with Kylie, Jo and Scott. Unlike our miserable Christmas Eve last cooking expereince we had a great time and bringing out some soup and bread before the main course of various raviolis in carbonara sauce was a very good idea (once again, it wasn´t our fault we had started late). Biscuits and hot ...
Rio Grande, Argentina wadeoliver... the Atlantic. We camped at Club Nautico while we caught up on chores and replenished. We met a british couple who are close to winding up their journey after 20 months of traveling. It is quite exciting actually, the sense of AAAAHHHHH from so many overlanders as they near the bottom, the fruition of months and or years on the road.

The weather was realy bad, but I can't complain, as we had had a brilliant sun for several days of hiking. And with thah weaher it was better to go around by car ...
Cabo San Pablo, Argentina peacefrog... We Know it" which was regrettable but unavoidable. Thereafter we spent many days trying to get our heads around the fact (particularly for the girl from the Northern Hemisphere) that we really were very far south and that the only thing that was beyond us was Antarctica. In pondering this fact, we considered the possibility of visiting the Great White Continent, and within a few days we had ...
Ushuaia, Argentina clive.emma... up the coast to Buenos Aires (3060kms from Ushuaia). We drove for several hours, before we reached the border post into Chile, after passing that we continued to the Ferry, and on the other side of the Ferry at about 10pm we set up camp (the truck was stopped) and cooked a quick dinner before settling down to sleep in the back of the truck (to save time and because we saw little point in putting up tents for the short duration).
