The dunes had taken over the roadway for about ten kiometres. You could tell where the road was supposed to be by the tracks other vehicles had left.
My chance to practice my Paris to Dakar skills. It turns out that I have none. How those riders do it for thousands of kilometres has got me tossed. They are tough.
Doing well until I got a bit to confident ( pride comes before a fall ). How true that is because just as I stared to build speed I rammed my head into a dune. The bike didn´t suffer to much - only a front indicator light torn from it´s mount.Left shoulder and back have been a bit sore but nothing long lasting I hope.

Hi Dave,
Mate hope the pride and the head/back are all ok, and that you are still enjoying your trip.
I have Pat Day your blog site so you will most likely receive an email from him soon.
When are you due back in Victoria Dave, as I thought I may ride down towards Melbourne and ride home with you, that's presuming you're riding back to Hamilton? Anyway let us know if you have a date yet, so that I can put it in "The Request Book".
Mate take care and enjoy the rest of the trip.

Thank you for your regular comments and updates on what is happening at home. Still not sure when that will be. I am in San Luis, Argentina and travel to Mendoza tomorrow where I will stay for 3 - 4 days and try their wine.
Will keep you informed of my arrival date and will enjoy riding with you. At this stage I look like shipping the bike from Santiago, Chile.
Regards David
