A journey with Aelke: South America (Part 1)

In the end, it took more than a week to go to South America. The journey was so tiring and difficult. But we always brought Pocari Sweat with us, so the journey was full of joyfulness!

Our first journey at South America continued at Buenos Aires.
Then, we tried to call the phone number that was written in the notes. Fortunately, the owner of the phone number answered the call! He told us to go to Rosario, One of the biggest city in Santa Fe.
Does anyone know where the city is?

Finally we met the owner of the phone number. His name is Pedro and he told us that he is a handlebar maker! Whoa, we were so lucky...
He said that he might know where his friend who might know the other components of the bicycle was located, but still...we needed to confirm his location at Pedro's hometown.
Pedro only gave us a picture and asked us to guess where the picture was taken...
"But...where is it?"


From the picture given by Pedro, we finally knew that the picture was taken at Copiapó. He said that it was correct, so he agreed to accompany us to his homeland at Copiapó.
"I think i should prepare more Pocari Sweat as it will take more than 24 hours to go there by bus." I said to Aelke

After one hour, finally we arrived there...
Ayers Rock was so Incredible!
Suddenly, Jack gave us a note written in spanish.
He said that the next clue was written there.
It reads "Si usted está buscando para la cesta, puede visitar nuestro sitio. Aquí está nuestro número: +54 XXXXXXXXXX"
"What does it mean?" Aelke sked me.
"Hmmm, i think we need a translator to translate it" i answered.

Then we decided to go to Melbourne first while trying to translate the notes.
Finally we met a translator who can translate the notes. He told us that we can find the other components of the missing bicycle in a country with an area code +54. But we were still confused and clueless...
"Hmm...it guess i need to google it again" i said.
And voila! finally we got the answer, Argentina was the city we were looking for!
After confirmed it once again, then we decided to go to South America.
"Sigh...the country is so far away, i guess our journey to find another part of the bicycle will be difficult" I said to Aelke.

South America we go! Vroommm~
