Day 2

 Well hello everyone I’m spending my first day in Chile and it’s my birthday so everything’s going great except for the fact that I’m only one year away from being a 3/4 of a century old fart but the weather is awesome I’m sitting outside on the deck of my motel room or hotel rather enjoying the 82° weather right now snow is just a bad memory

Went to the Royal Enfield. Dealer guy is great has a shop that only sells royal Enfield is the only one in the whole country that sells solely royal Enfields He had a brand new blue and white royal Enfield Himalayan for me he’s got to do a little work on it for me and for him (he wants to make sure all the systems are good before he lets me out the door)and unfortunately after we went to the registration office, turns out we need three or four days for that so he suggested that I go for a day ride and return to the hotel every day until the registration and license plate arrives.  We have to go to one more government office to complete the registration tomorrow so I guess I’ll be here most of the day. The hotel has a bicycle so I rode that to his store and I’ll just ride around tomorrow probably and then takeoff on Friday for a one day trip and come back to the hotel each night until the registration arrives hopefully on Monday at the latest. So many great restaurants in the area here I passed 

I’m going out to test out the Peruvian restaurant that everybody




says is awesome for the Pisco sour, which is a national drink here and for the Seafood 

Now I’m going to send all of you who were following my trip in Japan an email telling you how to view this blog. Hopefully if you can’t see it you’ll send me an email letting me know and we’ll try and figure it out

Wow the fish was really good, the avocado perfect and the pisco sour a good buzz

Some guy offered a taste of his ceviche but I was too full to order some

It was tasty though 

Phone giving me problems, maybe have to go back to the $10 a day Verizon service 

8:30 and still not datk

Lots of strolling musicians on this street of outside dining restaurants 

Smoking allowed in restaurants so I’m getting smoked out

Seems corn nuts are the go to snack 



Giving up on this phone thing 

Gonna just bite the billet and go with the expensive but no problem Verizon international deal

 Finally with Daughters’ help think I have it figured out  Firstly for those that didn’t hear this last year, this is mostly a way for me to be able to remember what happened on the trip I don’t have time to reply to comments sorry  As most of you know my phone is kaput for internet and cellular service. Only when I’m at a hotel and have WiFi can I do anything  Makes it difficult to get info on the road such as what hotels and where are they But contrary to US assumptions rooms are no problem if you can find a hotel.  Haven’t been turned away yet  Fortunately, I have downloaded maps so don’t have to keep asking for directions anymore  No time to go back to before today Left village in France this morning and it was nice but kept going up in elevation and I was almost ready to stop and put another jacket on when I got to the top and so I didn’t and we immediately started going downhill and by the time I got to the bottom, it was 85 (30C) Bottle caps sta...

I’ll let you figure out why there’s a ladder to the shower  No ceiling access but could be an emergency shower exit if you get too wet lol Light house from this morning   Not much about today.  Started off cool and marine overcast but once I turned inland and went over the first set of hills, blue sky and warmed up 10° from 22 to 32 and then over the course of the next few hours went up to 37 that’s Centigrade of course . As I predicted to myself, the road got a lot less busy only two trucks passed me all day and a lot of cars of course but they were doing 70 and I was doing 55 but I was enjoying the ride even though after two days of basically desert, not a whole lot to see and unfortunately, I have to stay on the freeway because there’s no other road that’s paved.  Did see a semi truck that went off the road, fell over on its side and spilled all it’s goods all over and a dozen scavengers were picking over the load as I went by A lot of road, going off into th...
