Monday, 5th May. In Wineham, West Sussex, UK and Poki’s Shipping Progress

Poki’s Progress Poki was due to arrive back in the U.K. at London Gateway Port last Thursday, 1st May. Everything had been going very smoothly. We had been tracking the ship, the Maersk San Lorenzo and it looked as if she would be on time. However, on Tuesday I received…

Day 216. Wednesday, 3rd April, 2025. Sightseeing in Montevideo.

Breakfast was hearty, but not healthy. Too much bread and cakes. Our food consumption during the day wasn’t any better. We didn’t want a big lunch, so a rather greasy empanada with chicken, ham and mushrooms sufficed. This was soon followed by very large ice cream cones. Dinner didn’t improve…

Days 213 and 214. Sunday, 30th and Monday,31st March, 2025. At La Chacra Holandesa.

Sunday was really warm. Up to 31 degrees again and humid. I sorted out my wardrobe box. Most things will remain in Poki, as I have more winter clothes than summer clothes. Mostly to ensure we survived in Ushuaia and Antarctica. My summer wardrobe consists of three pairs of shorts…

Day 210. Thursday, 27th March, 2025. From Botega Familia Moizo to La Chacra Holandesa. 51 Miles or 82 Kms.

Last Night’s Wine Tasting Dennis said, if I was able to and not inebriated or hung over, I would enlighten you on our tasting of Tannat. Well, it is a very full bodied robust red. We tasted 5 wines altogether. Chardonnay, Rose, Merlot Tannat which is 40% Merlot and 60%…

Day 208. Tuesday, 25th March, 2025. At rest at Balneário Don Ricardo.

Directly opposite to the UK, where I’m told spring has sprung, we are going into Autumn here. Leaves are starting to fall and the trees are changing to autumnal colours. It is also getting cooler. While cooking dinner last night there was another very brief shower, lasting all of about…

Day 206. From La Postergada Campsite in Paysandu to Parque Bartolome Hidalgo. 89 Miles or 143 Kms.

Packing up Having spent 4 nights at La Postegada it had become quite like home, so it was quite a wrench to leave this morning. Having folded up the tent and spread the groundsheet out to dry, along came the old black dog and promptly settled himself down in the…

Day 203. Thursday, 20th March, 2025. At rest in Paysandu at La Postergada.

Today really was a lazy rest day. Dennis already used all the superlatives about our location, yesterday. The lovely pond we overlook is a continuous source of interest. The two moorhens with their five tiny, fluffy, black chicks are always in evidence. The chicks spending more time running across the…

Day 201. Thursday, 18th March, 2025. From Camping at Termas San Nicanor to Camping Queguay. 63 Miles or 101 Kms

Day 199. Sunday, 16 March, 2025. At rest at Camping Hotel Posta del Dayman, Salto.

It’s lovely to be sleeping in Poki in a pleasant temperatures again. As we decided to stay put for another day here, there was no need to rush to get up. Domestic Duties As you will know by now, our days of rest are days when we do not drive,…

Day 197. Friday, 14th March, 2025. From Alvear to Hotel Del Rio, Concordia, Argentina. 223 Miles or 374 Kms.

Our hotel was pretty basic and didn’t include breakfast. After porridge in Poki, we set off south. I had hoped there might be some sights of interest in this part of northern Argentina. Sadly, not so. The terrain is dead flat and the road straight, so it’s boring driving. The…
