Ok, it was rather sledging than boarding 🙂

Sailing to Panama
After finally loading the bike into a container (that’s another story), I took a sailboat from Cartagena, Colombia through the San Blas islands to Panama!
It was a nice five days trip, but pretty rough! Two nights I barely slept, because I got thrown all over the bed as the boat made its way through the waves. Although it was a sailboat, it basically went all the way with the motor…

Big bike service in Medellin, Colombia
my Africa Twin now has 110‘000km on it (90‘000km on this trip!) and needed a big checkup and service. I did this in Medellin, Colombia at Africa Motos. They are specialized to big adventure bikes, but not an official Honda dealership. It took 5 days for this, fortunately I could stay for free at Felipe‘s apartment! I met him down in Chile, when he was riding on his BMW GS to Ushuaia. Gracias Felipe!
Dakar 2019 in Peru
The Dakar 2019 started on 6th of January in Lima, Peru. They raced south, almost to the border of Chile and returned back to Lima. I’ve been following the Dakar down to Arequipa, where I got into the bivouac, and then back up to Lima.
here are some impressions!

Ushuaia – el fin del mundo
After some days I got my new tyre in El Chalten (Argentina) and made my way down south. After a short stopover in El Calafate (Argentina) to see the glacier, I drove down to Punta Arenas (Chile) to see the King Penguins.
then it was just one long day ride to Ushuaia (Argentina), the most southern city in the world. The next day I’ve been driving to the end of the ‚ruta 3‘ and el fin del mundo: the end of the world!

Nach ein paar Tagen in El Chalten (Argentinien) habe ich meinen neuen Pneu erhalten und bin weiter nach Süden. In El Calafate (Argentinien) habe ich kurz Halt gemacht, um den Gletscher zu sehen. Danach ging‘s weiter südlich nach Punta Arenas (Chile). Dort habe ich die Königspinguine besucht. Danach war es nur noch eine lange Tagesfahrt nach Ushuaia, der südlichsten Stadt der Welt! Am nächsten Tag bin ich dan noch an das Ende der ruta 3 und en fin del mundo gefahren: das Ende der Welt!
