We got to Pucon last night, and wow what an amazing place. A massive volcano all covered in snow towers over the town. Pretty special.
Had our first day on the bikes today with a half day ride to get used to them. They are pretty damn hot bikes! Really easy to ride...most of the time. Cate had her first spill at very low speed. Think gravel but large pebbles the bikes slide around on. Mainly her ego bruised but we will post evidence once the bruise comes up nicely...it´ll be a goodie!
Cate was a bit disappointed being the only chick on the tour and the only rider to tumble...but hey, Ewen dropped his bike quite a few times on Long Way Round so I am sure there will be a few more. Particularly as part of this mornings ride was to orientate ourselves with the bikes, but also with dirt and gravel roads.
Soaked ourselves in natural hot springs in the afternoon in readiness for our first border crossing into Argentina tomorrow. Exciting stuff. I would use an exclamation mark if I new how to with this keyboard. :-?
