One small section of food available… So this morning a trip to reception to try and get some sort of connection. Once that was fixed, my message from last night, went, and I was also able to find the latest cricket score. New Zealand in a strong position. About time,…
View through the windscreen, in the camp site. Today we get ready for a few days holiday…:) Won’t that be nice. We haven’t had a holiday for at least 3 months..;) Making sure we have everything that we need, packed. Phone and computer chargers and adaptors, camera and charger…toothbrush…etc.. As…
A day of achievement..:) Well, on a very minor scale. Underachievement would be a better description. We both got haircuts. Another walk to town. We decide to walk instead of uncoupling the Caranex. Mmm, the legs are complaining just a little bit, but that has to be a good sign?…
Our camp last night was very basic, but despite the rain coming just after erecting the Caranex, it didn’t last long and like the wind, stayed away all night. We both slept well. As there was not too far to drive today, we left the camp at 11.30am. The countryside…
Another day of borders. A Mirage fighter of the Argentinian Air Force. Probably of Falklands vintage? Despite Jen’s fears, we had a night uninterrupted by visitors, once we had established approval to camp in the sprawling soccer field complex. Our hosts were quite accepting of our presence, once they had…
It’s time to move on. We have had an enjoyable, if not terribly productive rest day. I’d be quite happy to stay another day but Jen is anxious in case we don’t have time to get to Ushuaia in time, despite it being a two day drive and having 8…
Another great sleep, despite trucks moving during the night. Importantly the wind died down and the Caranex was still. Wifi was very spasmodic but once most of the trucks had left by 8.30am, it became good enough to get Jen’s blog from yesterday, posted. It took the claw hammer to…
Yesterday, while photographing the Green or Blue lake, three males asked me where we came from. “New Zealand”, I said. The older one repeated it in Spanish to his younger protege’s. He then said to me in English, “Maori”. “Very impressive”, I said to him. He then went on to…
Last nights camp was excellent. Again, clean, tidy operational facilities. We must have turned a corner..:) Run by a little old lady. Most men haven’t got a clue…:) Today we have to book a ferry to cross the next piece of water. Or do we? Jen has been worrying about…
Distance traveled, so far. Looking at the miles we have driven since Cartagena, nearly 3 months ago…8100miles or 13000k’s. We still have another 2500 k’s to go to get to Ushuaia, at the bottom of South America. Then start the journey north again, on the eastern side of the continent.…
