Rode from Antofagasto to Arica, 750kms on Ruta 5 through the desert. Stopped at the Tropic of Capricorn and took pictures to how that we were there.
Temperature was almost perfect 20º- 24ºc, light winds, but in the deserts, there was a garden of dirt-devils spinning all over the desert floors. Pretty cool. Arrived in Arica and stayed in the same hotel as 3 months ago. Went for a walk and past a printer, guess what,, they were printing Dakar Memorabilia. Go figure. Spent our final Chilean pesos at our printer friends. They gave us a great deal and did great work. Tomorrow, border crossing day. Again, we are going to the first border we crossed. Oh boy!
These Adventures are for Fathers and Sons. Michael and I completed this in two stages. Our motorcycle adventures reached the furthest northerly point in North America and the most southerly point in South America attainable via motorcycle. The 1st stage was completed in 2008 after Michael's 16th birthday. The 2nd stage started on Oct 4, 2010 & ended March 27, 2011, 2 weeks before Michael's 19th birthday.
