After 11 hours of sleep, we feel like new people again. we are staying at an awesome hotel, the Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau, that Rupert and I used to stay at when coming here on business a few years ago and its as fantastic today as it was then. The day started with a leisurely breakfast, followed by some shopping to obtain the items that I forgot to pack in my frenetic rush of the 3rd of January. Cape Union mart would make a fortune here because the concept doesnt exist!!

The remainder of the day was taken at a leisurely pace as we are only able to start the customs process to obtain the bikes on Monday morning at 09:15. Dakar Motos of Buenos Aires are helping us out with customs and we are hoping to have the bikes out by Monday afternoon for a Wednesday morning departure to Mar Del Plata.

The evening was spent having dinner at an awesome little restaurant called Sirop down a hidden little alley in BA with just Jacqs and I.

Erm…if you have to ask, then it doesn’t matter!!

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
