The final day of prep was running smoothly and uneventfully…until the BMW developed yet ANOTHER problem!! The valve on the rear tyre snapped which prompted another trip to BMW (on the trusty KTM) to get a new one and a ride to Dakar motos to get them to help out with the replacement. Thanks Javier!!! This put a dent in my packing and rest time and resulted in us only getting to bed after midnight.
We had intentions of leaving BA at 6:30am tomorrow but its doubtful this will happen!! On the plus side, whilst waiting for the valve to be replaced, I got chatting to Sandra about our ride tomorrow and she has suggested that instead of going to Mar Del Plata we head for Sierra De la Ventana as the ride is more interesting and the town more quaint. Apparently Mar del Plata is akin to Durban, which is fine, but for the fact that we are looking for a more typical Argentine experience.
