A long way from home
Waking up one morning and being a long way from home looking into the coming days adventures - this is what life is about.
So far 45+ countries visited on two wheels - this is about my motorcycle experiences around the Globe.

Now in Argentina and moving south in the heat - 38 degrees C today on average … altitude is now below 1.000masl and vegetation and water is now seen. Riding the Ruta National 40, that along the road shows the distance to the end of the world, Ushuaia. I am now only 3.400km from the turning point before returning to Santiago.
30/12/2022
Back in San Pedro de Atacama in Chile for the New Year celebrations and that with my daughter Josephine and her study-mate Mads.
4 days of relaxation and planning of the journey ahead through Argentina to Ushuaia in the far south.
Happy New Year to you all 🥳

More from Salar de Uyuni - very impressive part of our world
Salar de Uyuni - impressive and fun what water reflection can do

Isla del Sol and Isla del Luna in the Titicaca Lake - remains of old Inca culture

Copacabana in Bolivia at night and day - must visit if you’re around this corner of the world
20/12/2022
So a little more on the journey - now in high altitude close to the Bolivian Altiplano over 4.000 masl.
15/12/2022
And it didn’t take long to break that ”old” record - just 22 hours later at the Laguna Miscanti I passed 4.232 masl and didn’t pass out - even though air is quite thin up here.
This area holds some of Chile’s largest salt flats with pink flamingos eating the smallest “scrimp” I’ve ever seen - the carotenoids in these metabolises into the the pink feathers.
15/12/2022
3.422 masl is the highest I’ve ridden so far - but higher I go the following weeks 😊 roads are long and straight … and I need to clean my windscreen.
13/12/2022
Heading north into the Atacama region - that is dessert as long as you can imagine and then some. Both inland and coastal regions are super dry but varying some so the experience do chance with the miles of road passed.
In some days I will enter San Pedro de Atacama, where I will stay for a few days exploring the sights.
11/12/2022
So on the road again - what a lovely feeling and song. Slowly proceeding up north through the slimmest part of Chile targeting Peru in the holidays. If I’m lucky (and skilled) I will meet with my youngest daughter somewhere around Cusco for a few days.
First two days up Ruta del Mar and Ruta de las Estrellas and tonight a private tour of three observatories watching the stars, after a good trecking of the lower Andes mountains.
