Ahoyhoy Tiggers Travels followers,
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to have a quick squiz at what's happening out here on the trip. Good and bad so far. Alas you'll have to be brought up to speed solely by my monotonous poorly spelt droan as the computer i'm using was originally Noah's before he upgraded and I can't get the pictures to you yet.
So what has happened?
Well The family and I all went to LHR T5 together and I proposed to Sam so she wouldn't forget me whilst I'm away. The flight was very pleasant as I was mostly unconcious thanks to free vodka and inexpensive piriton which set me up refreshed to pound the streets of Buenos Aires to get my Sir Humphrey Bikelby back. Alas this was not to be. After being financially raped for the first time by a taxi driver I managed to secure the insurance within 10mins thanks to ATM Seguro de Moto's Danielle who was amazingly efficient and friendly to boot. Another extorsion followed thanks to this taxi driver taking me to the port instead of the airport and whom I had to direct to the cargo terminal. From here I spent the next 7 hours being help, lied to and misinformed until I finally found myself with a guy called Christian (no seriously I wasn't stress hallucinating) who told me to come back in the morning when all would be sorted. By 7.30 pm that was good enough and I opted for a quick raping to the nearest hotel to further expand my developing calm at lack of progress which I am from now calling my Travel Head - This isn't the UK & my Spanish is shite so relax and go with it and it will happen just as fast if not quicker!
A note for Hub users. The Hub's advice for collecting your cargo of motorcycle is for if it has come Lufthansa, mine came by Qatar and they have no idea but 7hours of searching reveals that Qatar cargo at Buenos Aires is handled by a secondary company called CrossRacer who'se offices are on the second floor - room 104 of the dirty grey airport building. More info to follow when I've finally got my bike back.
As for me I'm off to spend money I haven't got on food and wine.
