Last blog to finish up the adventure. the last 4 days in Argentina we did a 600+ km day to San Juan which was nice but dim due to the Monday public holiday - no one was around. A few drinks were had and we had our last ride the next day, a short 180km to get to our final destination Mendoza.
We decided to live it up in Mendoza and stayed at the Shereton for 3 nights and relaxed for 3 days, sorted the bikes and put them in storage for the other blokes. We missed the early morning packing, riding and lack of meals, but enjoyed our last few days anyway.
We were keen to get back home and see our families so when our Santiago to Auckland flight was cancelled and we had to enter Chile and stay the night in Santiago - we were all slightly over it. We finally got on another flight 12 hours later and touched down Sunday evening.
Thanks to Lyall and Malcolm for the great opportunity of a lifetime, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, we will see you guys this week after work to sort final logistics.
Also thanks to those that we met and whom helped us along the way; Colonel Javiers from Lima Peru; Jorge from Cochabamba Bolivia and the others whom I can't pronounce or remember by name.
Adios Amigos
