[S2 - Eps. 5] FIX THAT PUNCTURE!
Part 2 of the first day's ride. Can you believe that luck of catching a nail in the tyre on day numero 1?! On the other hand, this was good practice because it took me 2,5 hours to change the tube. I'm sure next time it will be faster!
But besides the thunderstorm, mud and flat tyre of this day, it was absolutely fantastic. Great trails, beautiful country side and a lot of wildlife keep me happy at any day! I hope tomorrow will be a slightly easier day though..

[S2 - Eps. 6] OFF-ROAD PLANS FAILED
It rained today, so I decided to stay on tarmac. I never really enjoy riding in the rain, so I just used today to cover the distance I had to, in order to reach a cool place for my next ride!

[S2 - Eps. 50] I'm OUT!
With too little rest after the previous ride, I try to do another big day riding at altitude, but I'm simply exhausted. I have to cut the ride off and stop in San Antonio. As already announced in the last live chat, I am taking a break! I need time to rest and to sort out a lot of things I didn't have the time to do while on the road all the time. See you in a couple of weeks!

[S2 - Eps. 46] Caught in a hail storm at 4700 meters altitude in the Andes!
In this episode I am riding from Copiapo in Chile, to Fiambala in Argentina. I am crossing over the Paso San Francisco, above 4700 meters altitude. Right after the pass, I catch some bad weather!
But that doesn't spoil this fantastic motorcycle ride across the Andes!

[S2 - Eps. 49] Parts breaking off my Royal Enfield Himalayan to see this: Cono de Arita, Argentina
In this episode I am riding from El Penon in Argentina to Tolar Grande on my Royal Enfield Himalayan. This is a very desolate and remote area in Argentina and the roads are tough! All the corrugated roads (also known as washboard) are beating up my motorcycle and me. When I finally arrived in Tolar Grande, I lost one part and broken another...

A tragic day that affected my family.
In this video I am taking you to Zeeland, one of the provinces in The Netherlands. The year that my father was born, 1953, there was a huge flood here, killing 1800 people, including people from my family. My dad explains what happened and after that, I am showing you how the Dutch have worked to make sure that this will never happen again.

In this episode I try to reach Trinidad in Bolivia by boat. So I ride my Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle to the town Puerto Villarroel.. only to discover that there is no longer any cargo transport by river there!

[S2 - Eps. 53] Sleeping at 4,000 meters altitude at the Argentina-Chile border!!
In this episode, I am riding my motorcycle from Salinas Grandes to the Paso Sico border between Argentina and Chile. I am staying the night right at the border, at 4,000 meters altitude, in a dorm at the customs/immigration office. Definitely one of the strangest places to stay for the night so far!

[S2 - Eps. 48] Riding in SAND - SAND - SAND!
In this episode I am riding to Campo de Piedra Pomez in Argentina. From El Penon, it is 36 kilometers through a lot of sand and over a lot of badly corrugated washboard tracks, but I made it on my Royal Enfield Himalayan!

[S2 - Eps. 51] I'm BACK!!
In this episode, I am continuing the ride towards Alaska! After a break of a few weeks, Dhanno and I are both ready to start riding again. In this video, I'm riding from Salta to Tilcara, Argentina. On the way, I'm passing by Purmamarca, the 7 coloured mountain - what an incredible geological feature!
In Salta I had to change my rear tyre for the second time during this adventure. I have ridden about 8,000 kilometers with the Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara, but all the riding over volcanic sediments and sharp gravel took their toll. It was not easy to find a new rear tyre in Salta, but eventually I found a Pirelli MT-60 again, so that's what I bought to continue my journey with!

[S2 - Eps 28] This is why there are so many dead trees in Patagonia.
In this episode I'm riding from El Calafate to El Chalten. I'm not going to do the 8-9 hour walk to Mount Fitz Roy, but I am visiting the Monument to a Careless Trekker. A burned down tree does not seem like the most obvious monument, but the story behind it is powerful and important!

I CAN'T continue... ???????? [S5 - Eps. 5]
In this episode, I encounter an unexpected road block. My plan was to ride through the Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve. It should have been a great stretch of off-roading, but most likely, it were the heavy rains in the area in the weeks before, that had destroyed the road. I had no other option than to turn back, and backtrack --- a LONG way!

[S2 - Eps. 47] Can somebody please explain me THIS?
In this episode I am riding a shorter ride from Fiambala to Belen in Argentina. My intentions are to see some sights along the way such as a 18th century church and pre-Inca ruins but I am not very successful! Luckily, I managed to see a Catholic procession in Belen that evening which was interesting to watch.

[S2 - Eps. 9] UH-OH.. That's a problem.
Soooo.. I noticed that somewhere along the line, I've lost my number plate. Turns out that the plastic holder from the dealer was not as strong as the original holder, and it just broke off. I suspect it happened on the bumpy dirt roads I was riding around Epecuen, but who knows. If I knew where I lost it, I wouldn't have lost it!
No choice but to get a new one made in The Netherlands and have it send to Argentina. I'm riding today with an improvised plate to Viedma. This is a bigger town in Argentina and here I'll wait for the new plate to arrive before continuing on my journey!
We have problems, we fix them!

Fixing a puncture on the Himalayan - prevention and cure.
I had a puncture on the front wheel of the Himalayan. Just a video on fixing it and what other options are out there for a quick fix.
[S2 - Eps. 60] ALONE on the road in Bolivia [Uyuni to Potosi]
In this episode I'm leaving Uyuni and I'm riding to Potosi in Bolivia. Luckily, the road is newly paved, because there have been several days of heavy rainfall so I was a bit worried about very muddy trails. But the road to Potosi is beautiful, with fantastic scenery and absolutely no traffic!! How is this possible?!
