From
Chile to Argentina, on the road.
Yesterday
night, we celebrated our one hundred's days
traveling, first in chat, then in an excellent
restaurant in Puerto Montt. For the first time
since 3 days, we left the coke'n rice diet to
have a huge steak and a good bottle of red
wine. Everybody seems to be much better !
We
wake up at 7 am to leave Chile. 2 hours later,
we take a bus: Aleko sits next to Ithaca, Theo
next to Nicole, Vale and Marco are together.
The Team looks for new nomads and chats with
some passengers. Except a young American
couple, the bus is full of Chileans going in
Argentina to work or visit some family.
The
road is full of little villages with colored
houses where children play on the front door.
We began to climb the mountains and enter in
dense forests with huge trees. We're back in
Andes Patagonia.
The
crossing of the border is somewhat tense.
Custom officers control thoroughly each
passport then open one by one the luggage of
the 21 passengers. We have to leave our apples
and lemons in a bin.
Today,
Theo is feeling homesick, his father
celebrates his 60th birthday - congratulations
from the Car@van ! The trip is quite quiet
until Ithaca gives everyone chemical lollypops
that make music when you blow in. Beep Beep !
An old man stares at us, upset, as a young 'chica'
giggles away.
We
arrive in San Carlos de Bariloche after more
than 7 hours of traveling.
