"We are not in Kansas anymore Toto" Gus, Michael and I left Kilca Hostel this morning and it took about 2 hours to get out of Buenos Aires. The suburbs are massive. Finally, open road! They are flat, straight and boring. I am amazed at how flat this land is. Reminds me of the prairies or Kansas, with all of the huge ranches that go for miles. Not too much traffic.
We got into a small town and want something to eat, asked locals, nothing open. We spent an hour looking for an open restaurant and finally gave up and carried on. Stopped for gas, there was a little development of shops and restaurants that surrounded the gas station. Had lunch there and carried on to Villa Gessell. Nice little seaside resort town about 4 hours out of BA. Met Oscar at a gas station and he carried on. Just into town, we saw him and some buddies so we stopped and chatted. One buddy, Peter escorted us and helped to find us a hotel for the evening. Thanks Peter..
Thursday ride was another nondescript riding day as we drove through flat straight countryside for hours and hours. Yesterday was farms and ranches, today was hay fields and grain fields. Our destination is Monte Hermoso, another seaside tourist town, an hour out of Bahia Blanca. Nice place, nice hotel with nice bar. As we sat sipping on cervesas, Kim, a man from New Zealand, who Gus had met at Dakar Moto 2 days previous showed up. Turns out he road from Dakar Moto to here, saw our bikes in the parking lot behind the hotel, got a room and found us at the restaurant in the square. Introductions done, we are all heading for Viedma, tomorrow.
