The border crossing was definitely tedious... After 30 km's of dirt and gravel roads (pretty hard core) we arrived at the Chilean part of the border to find that the customs people were on strike! Bastards! So we spent the next 7 hours waiting for the private contractor (yes, just 1) to arrive. Wasn't a bad spot to be stranded, next to the volcano, but after 7 hours the sun did start to take it's toll on us.
So after finally getting through the Chilean and Argentinean border we had another 15 k's or so dirt and gravel, only to arrive on some of the best bitumen I've ever experienced, period! Amazing curvy roads that motorcyclists dream about. Only slight issue was that it got dark towards the last 100 k's into Bariloche (not so good with a dark tint visor...) So this arvo we're going back to ride some of it again and also the Seven Lakes Drive, check back for more pics and video on the way.
The dogs are some new friends we've made here at Bariloche, they know how to turn on the cuteness, just like Cash.
Much love to all xoxo
