Temuco to Valdivia to Pucon Chile

After Concepcion we move on to Temuco , which is an inland farming town , I would probably say

While the rides so far have been good the scenery has not been that great ( we probably should have taken the coast route or the likes , but when you are only here for a short time it not possible to see everything

Temuco
Just a town in the middle of nowhere and it was OK but not that interesting

Valdivia

Probably the nicest town so far , it seemed very relaxed and well kept

Pucon

Well its a great little tourist Town with heaps of restaurants and Adventure things to do etc
We have been here for 3 days and tomorrow move on to San Martin De Los Andes Argentina 
The weather has been fantastic (we are lucky so far , long may it last )

Stop Press Da Tiger is ready to Go 17 / 12 / 18

Just got the Tiger out of the Vets and hes all good to Go HEEEEE HAAAA

It seems to have been  my fault , the battery Connection's were not good , so that's me , oh well its sorted now so lets move on tomorrow to Temuco

Valparasio , San Antonio , Curico to Concepcion Chile 15 / 12 / 18

 We left  Valparaiso and headed  to San Antonio ( approx 90km)(which is also on the coast ) it was a good ride which took us about 3 hrs (only because we pissed around )

San Antonio was quite a small fishing town with a huge Port ,  very interesting , we stayed in an old Hotel with a great view of the harbour . We stopped for lunch at a McDonald's , we met up with a couple of Poms who are Tandem Biking around Chile for 9 weeks

Next it was onto Curico ( approx 220km ) an inland town , again they are pretty much the same , just towns with people living in ,  just like everywhere in the world but they just look a  little different (well maybe we look different )

TRAPPED IN CONCEPCION

Now we are in Concepcion and have still got the problems with the starting of the bike (its just a dirty sensor I reckon ) , we have been here for 2 days and it is going to be 2 more before we can get out of here , I hope
But in saying that its probably the best city or town so far with heaps of people , Colour and  vibrancy ( i quite like it ). So tomorrow I have to take the bike into a moto shop hopefully to fix the problem once and for all
Really thus far the scenery has not been that great but the people make up for that

Street Stalls everywhere

Sorry about so long between Posted but internet is a problem 

Valparaiso Chile 11/12/18

Valparaiso Chile  11/12/18

We have sent 3 days in Valparaiso just hanging out really , its a Port town with a lot of character and not that much else . but its  been very relaxing

Part of the town is a world heritage site and quite interesting , a lot of old building etc , Its a very Artie with a lot of Musicians and Poets and the likes

Today the 11th I had to take  bike into the doctors for a check up , It wouldn't start sometimes   ,  the guys at the Triumph Garage soon  sorted it out , it was a dirty sensor on the Clutch . They gave it a clean and all's good now (well so they tell me )

Tomorrow we are off to San Antonio about 100 kms down the coast from here (no hurry no hurry )

So much Graffiti

Colorful Buildings 

About to go up Town in one of many Funiculars ,  

Valparaiso  is a very hill Town 

So much Graffiti even our Hotel windows are covered , 

this is from our Breakfast Table 

About 9km from here there is a town called Villa De Mar (very pretty ) , there is no Graffiti to be seen . All the little shits from every where must come Valparaiso to do their stuff 

Waiting for my shoes to get repaired , the soles fell off , it cost about $5.00 to fix them 

Always Beer Time 

Still in Santiago 7/12/18

We have been in Santiago for 3 days now and still getting things sorted

On arrival and having Matais to meet us was a god send , with out him it would have been a nightmare , As it was we run out of time and had to go back the next day as Customs only open for 1 hrs in the afternoons .

Having got the bike out of customs we got lost finding our apartment (even with 2 GPSs ) the roads all run into one another and there tunnels as well , but we got there in the end .

The weather is great with it being around 28deg

Santiago is a big city just like all big cities with too many people and cars

Yesterday was a big sleep in and then to the Markets

Uncrating the Bike it took about an hrs with blood in the mix from trying to turn the nuts the wrong way , The I remembered "Righty Tighty Lefty Lossie"
