Still on the hunt for dollars as everything reopened today following the bank holidays we went to the Amex office and HSBC to be told the same central bank regulation means no dollars. What can we do as we need to pay the shipping.
Do as the Argentines do go to Uruguay.
Whilst I tried to arrange ferries etc Tom purchased a new motor bike and arranged for our old friend to be sent home.
After some surfing and a few calls Vines BMW had a demonstrator with 2800 miles on it with the right spec including crash bars and extra lights. Bit of haggling later and the deal was done along with the panniers.
Next challenge was getting it registered and the carnet changed in time for it to be shipped to Sydney for when we arrive. The budget was blown
A big day
