Brasil - finally!

Looks like I missed Mark, SalCar and Dale & Sandy... but I'm crossing the Uruguayan and Brazillain border at Chuy tomorrow and heading to Puerto Alegere tomorrow and will be making my way to Iguazu, Florinopolis and onward north... maybe I'll run into you?

Allan make sure to contact the HU comunity in brasil. On the left of this page at the bottom is the link. there are several that will be willing to receive you. Once you get Closer to Sao Paulo let me know and i´ll give you a contact of a guy that will host you in his apartement at the beach. from there on you should have a lot of brasilian riders help you - most of them don´t speak english so make sure to pick up some portuguese

Sal - Will do. Good chatting with you while hanging in Belem (you) and me in Saõ Miguel do Oeste. I've made it Foz and hopped over the border to Argentina. The Brazillian Aduana didn't want to check me out. Just told me to go across and come back later in the week and show my paper. As for Argentina, even though they didn't check me out of Buenos Aires at the Boquebus, the Aduana at Iguazu just affirmed I still had time on my temporary import permit and waved me through. It's amazing that they don't just let you ride through Tierra del Fuego w/o having to cancel and re-issue the documents 3 times. Seems like a lot of wasted paperwork.

Anyway, going to find a parrilla and a good bottle of wine before seeing a gravity to its thing to a bunch of agua from the rio here...

I'm connected with the guy in Florinopolis and will continue my Brazillian leg of this journey...

good luck on the boat to Manoas..

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
