Hi everyone,
We have had some amazing days these past few days, much more spectacular than any words could describe. Ruta 40 is all it is cracked up to be, classic gaucho territory with wide expanses of sky as far as you can see. At some points the sky and clouds swirling above made it difficult for the eyes to soak it all in as we cruised past. We have already racked up over 3000km´s since we started on the bikes.
So far we have seen guanaco (cousins to the lama´s), condors, armadillo´s, flamingos, deer, rhea (like an emu) and a dead skunk. Pheweee, they smell. The condors are our fav so far, they have such grace and seemless effort with one small flap to soar above the mountains.
2 nights ago we stayed at an Estancia (traditional Argentinian sheep station) and experienced an Argentinian BBQ. Yum, yum, yum! The lamb was the best we have ever had, cooked in a raging open fire on a skewer (up its bum) so was super crispy on both sides. Argentinian wine and beer is a fine drop!
PS We are having some issues with our hard drive so can´t show you pictures of the above for now. But will up load as soon as we can. This is the last internet connection before Ushauia we the bike trip finishes so you won´t hear from us for a few days after this.
