Jorge came out to meet us as we pulled up outside, very excited and welcoming.
La Poste is a small shop selling motorcycle spares with a workshop to the side and a room with a large table to seat 10 or more people. Jorge showed us around and we went out to a garden where he said we could camp and on the outside wall he had painted the Beatles album cover, Abbey Road, he loves the Beatles.
Having showed us around we could see that many travellers had stopped here over the years and the walls were painted with accounts of visitors from all around the world.
Jorge had a pig roasting on a BBQ and asked us to stay for dinner, he had 10 friends coming over a little later.
We pitched our tents and a couple arrived on a Harley look alike and they also pitched a tent. As everyone arrived their hospitallity towards us was superb.
Our timing on this occasion had been perfect as most of this group meet once a month and have dinner and this was a special celebration as Peter had bought a new bike and had provided the pig, as was their tradition.
Some of these guys had travelled a lot one having covered the Pan American highway from Alaska to Ushuia and others just did a bit of trail riding, but they were all bikers.
The next morning we packed up and resorted our panniers, whick I am sure we will do again and probably again after that.
We left Jorge at lunchtime having had a superb time, many thanks to you Jorge and all of your friends for all of your hospitallity.
We are now headed for Viedma to meet Oscar at a HU meeting.

Delighted you are properly underway at last!
ReplyDeleteHaving a tip over on the very first day was probably a good omen - best to get it out of the way early on and relatively inoffensively.
Well, you certainly seem to be slumming it - huge steaks, red wine and whole suckling pig :o)))
Stay safe and God speed.
