We made it all the way to Ushuaia and now we are ready to go somewhere warm again. It was beautiful, but too cold for a girl like me
We are on BA now,but I think we will ship the bikes from Bogota. Do you know if the shipping company that you used has an office over there too by any chance?
Take care,
Camelia
Hi Camelia

Glad to hear you made it all the way South.

I'm not missing travel yet but I am missing warmer weather.

I'm not sure about shipping out of Bogata but you can contact DakarMotos here and ask them.

Bolivia

Great ride report Kedgi. I finally was able to finish it. Interestingly enough, I was just reading FOCUS online and they rated Bolivia as the world's most unfriendly country for tourists. Pretty much your impression also. Can't wait for your next adventure as the Great White North starts to thaw.

Good to see you made it home in one piece. Only had the chance to catch up today as I've been offshore for awhile (at least in warmer in the Gulf than Saskatchewan). Some tough spots for you but over time you tend to forget the hard bits and savour the good. I admire riders that take the time to share these good and bad moments with the rest of us. Take care of yourself and thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking a ride to Campobello Island may be just the ticket. It could be a great run for Angele to try her new Sherpa

If by any chance your travels take you anywhere near Ottawa, then please look me up.

The snow might even be gone while you're here - the high will reach a staggering -7C here today (if you disregard the windchill) with more snow in the forecast on Mon and Tues.

Happy Trails ......

Steve
Hey Steve

If you're touring the Maritimes, be sure to stop in. Send me a PM for our address info.

I liked walking around La Paz, except for the elevation. There is a lot to see there. I found the high passes tough though, Trusty and I were having some trouble breathing. Could have done without the trumped up speeding ticket. Getting lost in Eucalyptus was a memorable day. I'm still surprised that Bolivia gets that bad of a rating. There have to be less friendly places.

I am glad to be home. My bike is now back in NB too. It's in Chamcook, NB, now all I need is a day that's warm enough I can go get it.

You're right, the bad days fade and the really good days are memorable. I was so lucky to have met so many really good people, I'll never forget.
