03/01/2019 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad The start of the New Year, and what will it hold? For me I had decided to leave Viedma on New Year’s Day as there was a change in the wind direction. First problem was that it was for just one day after which it would be right into…

02/01/2019 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Photo. Every village or town, even the tiniest villages, have these sort of concrete signs, but I’ve not seen one as colourful as this! I think my bike fits in rather well. I’m getting very close to the 1,000 kilometre mark from Buenos Aries. Only another 2,200 kms to…

28/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Photo. Antares Bar in Bahia Blanca. Their craft beer menu, most brewed on site. One of the many places to enjoy the explosion of craft beers here in Argentina’s bigger cities. IBU, the extreme right-hand column, was new to me. Never heard of it before. It’s the International Bitterness…

23/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Photo. Not the oasis mentioned in the title but a great pint I discovered in Olavarria. The brewery is called Sur del Sur (south, where I’m headed) and they simply call this brew ‘Porter’. Georgeous! Can’t wait to find it more readily available. Depending on which platform you use,…

Photo. Now they’re really having a laugh! Maybe it’s a hint that I should stop getting off the bike to take photos and get a move on? 21/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad One of the most common questions I’m asked by people curious as to why an old git like me is doing what…

20/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Photo. One of the ways the Argentinian authorities like to make cycle tourists feel better is just to put the small distances on the road signs. If I can get 2 photos on one post, me and technology eh?, the second one will be explained further down the blog….

18/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Here I am looking a bit on the nervous side before setting out from Adrogue, Buenos Aries, 15/12/2018. So, this is it! The adventure/disaster can really start in earnest. All that faffing around in the UK, France and Spain was just a precursor, albeit some decent practise, for the…

11/12/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad Having spent so long here in Europe because of issues with my eye and residency regulations regarding travel insurance, I’m almost there! About to get on a plane to Argentina where the adventure, for me anyway, really begins. Europe has been frustrating despite the wonderful time spent with family…

5/11/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad. France v Spain A bit of a disclaimer first. This is about my experience only. I will be as truthful as I hope I always am, albeit with some licence to allow me to exaggerate stuff purely for the purposes of humour. It is about the route I travelled…

21/10/2018 Simon ‘Wardy’ Ward is nomadonanomad It was 51 days ago that I rolled off the ferry in Roscoff, at the north western tip of France, and now I’m sitting outside a very nice hotel (only 3 star, but it’s a bit of a treat for me) in Malaga in the south of Spain having…
