Since leaving Pucon, we have been stuck at the border for a couple of hours because the Argentinians thought that the truck insurance wasnt good enough. (cant do apostrophes on this machine!)

We had to spend a night beside Lake Falkner because we had been delayed at the border plus one of the girls had an infection under her skin where she had been sunburnt while climbing the volcano, and she had had to go to the doctor.

On Friday we arrived in Bariloche, which is beside another large lake. We had a good time there. The camp site was good and I was on cook group so I was busy.

We then had two days of driving south to El Chalten. We stopped overnight ina small town, and bought petrol in a petrol station in the middle of nowhere. Having looked at the map I have discovered that we are nearly at the bottom of South America.

The area has many glaciers and stunning scenery. This town is simply for the tourists. There used to be just 36 people living here. It is now quite busy and is in an official National Park.

When we get to the next town of El Clafate I will be going to view a glasier... so full report then.
