All good things…

…must come to an end, as the old saying goes…!!

After nearly three weeks on Parrot Cay, the time has come to leave and continue my journey… I daresay I am leaner and fitter than when I arrived here…!! Regular sessions of Yoga, Pilates, visits to the Gym (I am as surprised as you are…!!), long walks on the beach, swimming and meditation, have hopefully prepared me for the next few thousand kilometres…!!

The highlight of my stay here of course, has been spending time with Patricia and planning our future together… I am not looking forward to our next farewell…

Cliffside, Middle Caicos... A few days we will never forget...

Sunset on Parrot Cay... A Beautiful sight shared with a beautiful lady...

In a few days I will be back in Argentina to resume my South American ride…

The next 8 000 km...!!

My route will take me through Uruguay and into Brazil as far as Rio De Janeiro, from where I will head south west to Iguazu Falls and then into Paraguay… My original plan to ride to the mouth of the mighty Amazon at Belem, is no longer feasible… It would take up too much of the little time I have left to reach Alaska by the end of July or early August…

From Paraguay’s capital Asuncion, I will ride back into northern Argentina and cut across to Chile and the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth… Then work my way up the Pacific coast to the Peruvian border…

I have now completed the posts up to and including my arrival (and speedy departure…!!) from Buenos Aires… You can view the last two posts, the one to Bahia Blanco here….and “Hola Buenos Aires”, here…!!

My shock absorbers have been repaired (Thank you Javier…!!) and the Big Fella is straining to get off his centre stand and back on the road…

Until you read “Back in B.A. …!!”, I will leave you with the following:

“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today…” James Dean.

    Ronnie, Congratulations to you & Patricia! Glad to hear that you are all well rested and fired up for the next leg of your trip.

  • Hiya Paula…!! You must be happy to be out of Khartoum…!! How you managed 3 years there is beyond me…!! Ha…!! On my return, I will be resting my bony butt just 140 km south of you in Margate, so you can count on a visit or three…!! BTW, the repair we made on my tank bag is still holding up…!! Take care and stay safe and well… R.
