Alaska to Argentina – Into Brazil

Greetings Everyone

Yes it has been a very long time since I posted anything on the trip. No, I didn’t get run over by a bus, or kidnapped by a terrorist gang, or thrown into a gaol cell. But I did end up having to go back to Oz for a while and after coming back I just lost interest in writing and it’s taken me this long to get back into it.

This is going to be a shorter post than normal. I’ll explain why by the time you get to the end of the post but for now, on with the travels.

Leaving Argentina

Buenos Aires and Argentina is on the southern side of the Rio de la Plata; and Montevideo, Uruguay is on the northern side so another ferry trip was destined to be in my near future. Luckily for me before they left on their trip, Ed and the lovely Elise were able to give me the details on where to book and how to get there.

To get to the ferry port I needed to ride through the centre of Buenos Aires which is a great way to wake you up in the morning, especially riding fat Kitty.

After completing the Buenos Aires Formula One (or as it’s locally known, the morning peak hour) and getting to the port, the usual immigration and customs formalities happened and then it was a case of playing the waiting game. Eventually we boarded the ferry and after making sure Kitty was properly tied down it was off to Colonia in Uruguay.
