Memorable moment

Memorable moment.

Arriving in Buenos Aires only weeks after the peso had been devalued four to one made it feel like we had suddenly joined a different trip.

After months of cheap hotels, cold showers and rooms of questionable cleanliness, we checked into a modern chain hotel for about the same price we had been paying everywhere else. Luxury at last.

We met up with a few people we had crossed paths with during the trip and discovered that great restaurants, cocktails and bottles of wine could be had for around £10–15 each. Naturally, we decided it would be rude not to take advantage of this situation.

Someone suggested we visit Tierra Santa, a religious theme park where you could wander around biblical displays with a beer in your hand. An unusual combination, but an entertaining afternoon.

As we left, electronic music could be heard thumping from across the road. Behind an unassuming entrance we found a huge modern dance club, looking somewhat out of place beside Jerusalem.

After months of dust, mud, breakdowns, border crossings and sleeping wherever we could find a bed, Buenos Aires delivered clean sheets, steaks, cocktails and late nights. Not a bad way to finish a dirty motorbike adventure.
