Day 0 - Saturday November 12th 2011

The journey begins. As Luft Hansa (this is not a typo as the name was like that) stopped the directflight between Nuremberg and Santiago de Chile shortly before the Nuremberg Trials (because of shortage of travellers) i have to take a different route.

Via Frankfurt and Buenos Aires is the way to travel. Roughly calculated it will be a 24 hour trip to Santiago and another 2 hours to get to Valparaiso.

I hope that i have enough time to enjoy a Argentinian Steak on the stopover in Buenos Aires.

Right now I sit in a poor area of the Airport and made the last copies of the documents needed.



Thanks to all the messages for a safe journey. Sorry Reiner and Barbara if i was yesterday a little confused but i was already dreaming of the "Gaucho Steak" you promissed when you called.

(Also a very warm welcome to Jens with the Honda MTX80.)

BTW: I justed checked my transport for the bike - it already arrived in Valparaiso and will be waiting for me beginning next week.

Akka and Lena you could now practise your English and then write me comments what is not correctly pronounced.

G'night EUROPE...
