Heading from Buenos aires after 3 weeks rather than 3 months

Posted on 21st February, 2012

Ahoyhoy,

I hope you guys and gals are ok? How many of you ae ther I wonder? Perhaps my previous guesstimate of two are wrong. Perhaps three of you read this?

Anyway I have made the trip back to Buenos Aires and being here feels wrong. Nevertheless I have had nigh on three days to do 650 miles which has been very relaxing altouh it didn´t start as such when an idiot in a car, his vision obviously obscured by the humungous penis floloping from his forehead ran into me after I had been on the road for literaly 4 seconds. No signifiant damage was done to Sir humphrey but I hope his left front wing needs replacing. ARSEHOLE! After this I got myself into a large panick when Sir Humphrey appeaed to be totally dead having pulled up in a now typical petrol station cue. I pushed him to get the petrol then spent 20 mins scratching my head and dissassembling his lowers until Ifinally saw that I hd knocked the kill switch. MUPPET! After this I pootled on to Venado Tuerto, an idustrial town where from parched dry it became a flood.

 

I thought this wasf antasic as it happened whilst I was in a warm shower. I liked this little town for just a few reasons 1) My bum was very sore by the time I got to it, 2) Their chicken ravioli was very good, 3) It has beautiful white stone chirch and civic buildings, 4) There is as much designated parking fo bikes as there is cars, 5) Department stores sell motorbikes! Seriously i saw half a dozen motorcycles displayed in a window inbetween toasters and rucksacks. 6) There was free porn. a truly remarkable little town, apart from the disgusting porn obviously. Hiccup cough.

 

As I headed on today and after having every document and Sir humphrey function checked by a very diligent Fuzz man I ended up going right through colon. A novel experience for me (but not for those on a certain TV channel in Venado Tuerto). Yes it was a bit of a shit hole.

 

I stretched my legs and made it to Benos aires only to find Dakar Motos shut, some hostels either shut or not existing, most hotels well out of my price range but I ended up in th Odeon Hotel (screen measured in inches not yards alas an status of porn provision yet to be established) and Sir humphrey in an NCPtype mutlistory car park. al Ican do now is blog, eat, smoke, drink and sleep until theembassy opens at 9am tomorrow morning. I dohave anice balcony though andthisis what Buenos Aires looks like from it:

 

Not the prettiest view but it´ll do. i only wish I coul havefound a campsite. I kinda like camping with Sir Humphrey. thesites are OK and its very cheap. That´s about it for now so I´ll bid you far well and I hope you´l keep your fingers crossed fo tomorrow for me.

 

TTFN,

 

Tigglios

P.s. Christian is a common name here but thpolice told me that they had ever heardof anyone called Barry or Maureen (my parents).

The old 'kill switch' eh...ain't it so annoying and then so bloody embaressing, even worse than trying to drive off with your side stand down I find cos it's staring right at you..
What an amazing view from your balcony NOT...mind you it could be a balcony in Benidorm ha ha...Just trying to imagine what the brochures would of said which would make us Brits pay top dollar for a week in the highrise metropolis that is Benidorm..
Good luck at the embassy, fingers & toes crossed...hey they may even offer you afternoon tea and a scone....
Well it's raining in old blighty today, much better than snow I suppose..apparently it's gonna be 18 degrees tomorrow (thurs)...
