The Adventures of La Pelicana, Flaca and the Motoman Francesca Spencer

What would you say to the offer of a ride through the Atacama Desert, on the back of a shiny black powerful motorbike, driven by a charming Argentinian man? ¿Por qué no? Why not? That was exactly the response of Flaca, the independent solo traveller, in a remote village in the Chilean Andes. When she agreed to the trip north to San Pedro de Atacama, she had no idea that she would have adventures, near-death experiences and the journey with the Motoman would last beyond their original agreed destination. Los compadres de la ruta soon become more than travel buddies and their adventures extend further than South America. The Adventures of La Pelicana, Flaca and the Motoman is the story of what happens when two people are travelling in the same direction, until suddenly, one of them stops.
