jon is trying to remain calm in the face of the eternal struggle with technology. Since it is clearly impossible, there might not be many entries !
DAY 1 Only a fool would set off from Buenos Aires across the flat pampass in the mid summer heat. A perfect project for us then. First day . A bit hot.A bit lost. A bit of a dead dog smell. Just about to make the decision to go the dirt road route. Guess how good that was .
 |
| The pampass was more beautiful and interesting than expected. Whilst it was definately FLAT... the bird life was incredible. |
 |
| An armadillo. Unfortunately have´nt seen a live one yet. |
 |
| Spot Cav......Found out the Tour of San Luis was happening, so did a huge detour to get back to it. Had a chat with Mark though ! (best mates now ) |
 |
| Quite a lot of desert riding . Camping out is beautiful but its like sleeping on a hot oven as the ground does,nt cool. We always get thorn punctures as soon as we leave tarmac |
 |
| A bit of an adventure . Crossing the high Andes . We had just enough food for 3 days and it took more ! We are experiencing problems keeping our shorts up. (I´ve put a tuck in mine !) |
Dropping down into Chile. These roads are quite bonkers and yet ¨normal¨: people drive routinely across the border in their family cars.
Keeping entry short and sweet . Now in Vicuna Chile (really ! ) and off to coast to see penguins (really !).
jon may do a special "mechanical observations " feature another time .Something to look forward to then ,eh .
Looks fun and definitely warmer than here.
