Meet some wonderfull people along the way - there are some truly amazing people in this world.
Will post some pictures as soome as I can.

Day 14: Getting close to the finish

Andrew had a long, tiring day today, but a good ride. Another long day tomorrow with the final push on Saturday to arrive in Buenas Aires. There isn't long now until the rally is finished. The final step in this epic journey will be with the presentation of the trophies on Sunday on the podiums in Buenas Aires.
Ride safe and enjoy the riding Andrew.

Day 13: Stage 11 of the Dakar

Andrew crossed the mountains today, across the boarder and back into Argentina by lunch time today. Apparently the view was breath taking. I hope he took some photos. The final destination San Juan.
Have a great ride tomorrow Andrew.
