Silly arse ......pressed the wrong key!!So Thursday I spent at the airport at customs with my 'fixer' Sandra. She was fantastic and told me exactly what I needed to do. She also pointed to a lovely big box and told me that is was my bike. Finally after more than 2 weeks my little Henri was going to be mine again.Everything went smoothly and I was finally on my way........to hopefully not getting lost. I borrowed Drew's satnav but with sandra's excellent directions I didn't really need it. Next stop was Dakar Motos where I was going to park him for the duration of my stay in BA. I was knackered and in desperate need to a shower and sleep.So here I am....in Buenos Aires! Waiting to leave next Friday to head 400km south to Mar del Plata where I've learnt that the Dakar Rally is to start from. Crappy little hotel booked for the new year and 'living the dream' begins.............not only have I off-roaded part of the Dakar route in Morroco with Patsy and Zippy (Dakar competitors), trained off-road with BMW and another Dakar competitor Si Pavey but I'm now going to see it for real. Plus Toby Younger will be competing who I met in Morocco with Desert Rose Racing............So for now I'm going to sign off, continue drinking my s***ty Starbucks, sweat in this heat, navigate this traffic congested city that's swarming with shoppers and hope that Xmas passes by. Oh, and do a bit more drinking with a couple of friends I've met out here. It's a hard life ............but don't worry I've found a pharmacy and the Resolve is on standby
