INTRODUCING SIMON GANDOLFI

Hi. I am seventy-three-years-old. This is my first blog. Welcome and be patient. I leave the UK on April 18 to ride a 125cc Honda from Mexico to the Southern tip of South America. Most days, I will post my progress. I should be expert by the end of the journey (if I make it). My adopted daughter, Anya, has doubts and tells me I am irresponsible. My wife, Bernadette, is delighted at the break. My four sons, Tony, Mark, Josh and Jed, consider the trip typically adolescent behaviour. I am a little scared. I will feel better knowing that you, the readers, are joining me as a virtual companions.
Click My Site for my web page. You will find the Whys of the trip plus some writing on past travels.
