Gekleurde bergen

Voordat we met Ton en Marijke beginnen aan een ’roadtrip’ door Chili en Argentinië, nemen we eerst even de tijd om op adem te komen.

Stilstaan en hollen

Met frisse moed beginnen we in Ushuaia aan wat voelt als een nieuw deel van onze reis. Nu we het zuidelijkste punt van onze reis hebben bereikt, rijden we voorlopig alleen nog maar naar het noorden!

Vanaf Ushuaia is dat nog minimaal 15.000 km door 12 verschillende landen en waarschijnlijk nog veel verder als we -net als in Afrika- … →

As we ride out of Asuncion the hovering storm clouds finally break open and spill out onto the land, drenching us completely at the edge of the city, and then for the next two hours.  Water creeps into absolutely every… Read More ›
