drew and lou in brazil
hi folks... a few days late but happy new year to all...
have just completed a trip from prudhoe bay to ushuaia with a fairly big group on bikes and deceide to keep on going when they all flew back to uk from buenos aires, have met up with 'lou' in BA and we've taken the ferry into uruguay, followed the coast round and we're now in brazil.... thinking of maybe heading to rio, then over to iguacu falls, then maybe into paraguay, bolivia, and head north again thru central america into the states... if there's anyone that fancies joining us for some of the trip drop by and say hi... we're both in our early 40's both on bmw's and both like a after being on the road....

Hi Rod,
Great to hear from you, would be really good to meet up and have a few s!
We plan on being in Iguacu in about 4-5 days, so any information on good accommodation would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
