The Journey North – 2

Puerto San Julian > Comodoro Rivadavia – 441km There is obviously not a lot to do in this small town – last night the young men around town drove their cars up and down, up and down, up and down the main street, right outside our window, until after midnight.  It took us about 1/2 […]

The Journey North – 1

Day One – Ushuaia > Punta del Grada 505 kms        We could see bad weather coming up so rather than get stuck we decided to hotfoot it north.  We left Ushuaia with blue skies and sunshine, though only 4 degrees so we were well layered up and heated handgrips on. This was […]

Puerto Guadal > Perito Moreno, Argentina – 187km > Gobernador Gregores, 363km

  To give a bit of perspective of where this is…        …we have travelled far We were on the road by about 8:30 and the whole town was still asleep, as is the case always when we leave at that sort of time. So many people had recommended we do the Chile […]
