Stationary in Argentina
Hi all you lucky travellers on the move,
We have been in Argentina since last November and have travelled the princely distance of 110km from Buenos Aires to San Antonio de Areco and we are still there! Why? Because I slipped on a river bank, fell in the river and broke my left lower leg in the process - wouldn't have been so bad for my "street cred" if it had been while riding! The hospital here did a great job but I'm healing slowly - well I am 58 I suppose!!
Anyway, our problem is "what to do?". We are thinking of trying to salvage some of the trip - maybe head into Bolivia and Peru when I'm strong enough, but who knows when that will be. If we do have to put the trip on hold, I would like to leave the bike (Yamaha Tenere) here (Argentina) while we return to UK and come back at a later date. So here's the question - is there anyway I can leave the bike, legally, in Argentina for more than 8 months? By the way, my current 8 month period expires on 29th June.
Any ideas?
Take care everyone - especially near rivers!!
Peter
