Counting the days .....


We're counting the days now ..... we leave for Buenos Aires on May 31 via Madrid, arriving on June 2. Our car has gone already ... it is currently sitting in a container in the Port of Felixstowe waiting to be loaded on a ship leaving on May 10. At least I hope they've managed to get it in the container ... it was rather high! ... and one of the guys did say "Oh don't worry, I've got a big crowbar!!"


Have you ever seen the port of Felixstowe?!!! Literally thousands of containers stacked up 7 high!!! ...... ("Very sorry, I've left my house keys in the car ... can I get them out please?")


So in theory we arrive in Buenos Aires one day before our car ..... in theory ..... Insha'Allah


Then when we've spent another week trying to get our car through customs .... we set off vaguely south. The idea is to drive south until Ann thinks its too cold to look at any more penguins, dolphins and whales, then cut across to Chile and do some skiing, then start driving north along the Andes.
Next update soon.
