Alaska to Argentina

Annette

I'm going to ride a motorbike from Alaska to Argentina because it sounds like a hoot and I like places that start with the letter A. I went to Acton once and I had a great time.

I'm some kind of Kiwi/Canadian/Brit hybrid so I'm used to travelling. Last time I counted I had been to about a hundred countries or something. Even Wales. Anyway, I thought I'd try and liven up the experience this time by adding in the constant threat of imminent motorcycle-related death, though after learning to ride a bike in London this should be a doddle.

Extract from the diary: "August 29th, 2009
Altitude and wine don’t mix. After getting up to do a walk with a couple of German girls I had the menu of the day which came with either coke or wine. As I don’t really like cola I had wine and had a headache for the rest of the day as Huaraz is at 3000 meters.

Also I would like to give a special mention to the dogs of this area. They are the most violent that I have met and I am constantly being chased by them on my motorbike and a couple of them have bitten my trousers.
