Together with Janet & Michael I drove along the National Route 40, normally called Ruta 40, which is a route in western Argentina, stretching
from the south in Santa Cruz Province to Jujuy Province in the north, running parallel to the Andes and displaying breathtaking views along the high mountains and lakes in the valleys.
Long parts of the route, are unsealed and lead through sparcely populated territory, but in fact the long tour has become a well-known adventure tourism journey.
There is no longer road than Route 40 in Argentina and it is one of the largest in the world (along with the U.S. Route 66 and the Stuart Highway in Australia). The Panamericana is longer but officially not counting because of its break in Dariém Gap between Panama and Columbia. However, it was another 24 hours in a bus and slowly bus riding r e a l l y sucks!
The program in Bariloche, the Argentinean Switzerland, was “bike’n hike”. After a long day on the mountain bikes I didn’t feel like hiking on the 2nd day. So I rented a car and drove from S.C. de Bariloche to San Martin de los Andes, a beautiful village in front of a cute lake and the beginning of huge mountain ranges. I invested 40 [damned] €uro to exchange my ticket to stay one more day in a wonderful appartment with a fire place and lake view.
Ihr habt sicher schon gemerkt, dass wir immer sprachloser werden bei all dem Beeindruckenden, über das Ihr zu berichten habt. Aber heute können wir auch von einem tollen Ereignis erzählen: Am Samstag war Bayern München in Frankfurt zu Gast. Wie es sich für den Tabellenführer der Bundesliga gehört, stand es nach 6 Minuten 0 : 1, aber dann passierte 81 Minuten nichts mehr. In der 87. Minute konnte die Eintracht ausgleichen und 2 Minuten später fiel das 2 : 1, ja so wie ich schreibe, 2 : 1 für Frankfurt. Damit hat Schalke die Chance, heute die Tabellenführung zu übernehmen.
das wiederrum macht mich sprachlos!

Hi VerJan

Cholera, the trip idea is really impresive, the pictures are great – what camera do you use for taking them ? From today on, I will be closely watching your diary. By the way, what about a few days in Poland again. You both have got my invitation to Galkowek.
