The Long Commute: Almost April....

Almost April....

Deserted downtown BA this morning.
Which holiday is this?

Yes indeed, it is almost April, and we fly home from Buenos Aires tomorrow. 6 months, 10,300 km, and an absolutely amazing trip.

As the stories have not yet caught up with us, it is likely that the blog will continue to be updated for the next few weeks. Once I've got the hang of photos, Flickr, Picasa and whatnot, (and Windows isn't speaking to me in Spanish), you will have the opportunity to see some of the (thousands of) photographs.

We would like to say a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who has been enjoying the journey with us. It has been great to have your company; in fact, more than that: your encouragement and invisible presence has been very important to us both.

With best wishes,

Chris (The Chronicler) and Lesley (The Navigator)

The Conspirators

The Navigator: forager, bean counter and now editor. Best observed when at the checkout, flicking through a dross of coinage from four countries. Understood to have been educated in the mid-70s in NE England before being promoted to a tertiary education in Aberdeen. Executed a u-turn out of science and into self-employed accountancy before landing the dream job as a Steward for Historic Scotland. Came to adventure cycling after having been dragged around as a spousal brake on one too many of Scotland's Munros.

The Chronicler: sometime cook and bike guard. Best observed outside supermarkets or women's underwear shops, avoiding eye contact with over-interested poky-fingered little boys. Emerged out of a Glasgow education in the early 70s then to Aberdeen and a diploma in Agriculture. Picked daffodils, dug potatoes, milked cows, planted trees, cut lettuces, drove JCBs. Came to cycling after running out of Munros.

You understand the charges that have been placed before you? This is one of the worst cases that has ever come before my court. You have wilfully and wantonly flaunted the traditions of this country. You have shown flagrant disrespect for the mores of our society. Not only have you offended on this occasion, but there are a further 6 counts against you, all in the last 10 years. I find your behaviour reprehensible. You are both serial offenders. On all these occasions you have avoided Christmas, and worse, escaped the Scottish winter. How do you plead?
