Rough Guide Argentina
Sourced copy of RG Argentina (reference only).

Autumn is apon us and winter is approaching.
Have been advised of worsening weather conditions in the south of the country.

Also, it is not possible to make it to the far south of Chile without taking a costly and time consuming series of boat trips.

I’m not the best sailor. I don’t enjoy rough seas, or the sea full stop, however I don’t mind buses.
Buses are plentiful on the Argentinian side of the border; I can travel right down to Tierra del Fuego, Isle Grande, and the spike of land known as Cape Horn.

Horse riding

Have spent the day horse riding.

Didn´t move beyond canter.

These horses were built for comfort not for speed extra padded seats, protected, stirrups, no spurs etc..

Got to see a few of the hills without the sounds of a motorbike.

The Canopy
Also went on mad death slide they call the Canopy .

It swings between the canopy of trees on 6 seperate hill tops.
6 Death slides for the price of 1, use your hand as the brake, fantastically exciting stuff.

E-free-Zone

Yes, Pucon is an E Free Zone.

take E

I had to stick to the beer last night.

Mama’s and Tapas
There is a music bar with rad art – Mama’s and Tapas, many Gringo’s are in here.

Met many UK people; an American, who fell off his stool, a German who had his finger on a rocket launch button, a Scotsman looking after Penguins on the Falklands and a kiteboarder who was friends with Richard Bransons’ son and many other well off youngsters.
Enough to entertain for a whole evening, no narcotics in sight.

Gonzo
Also writer of this column modern gonzo who I’ve seen around a couple of times.

He crashed the Sasha Southfest in Santaigo using a press card, what a clever innovation.

He has to make it round the world travel writing, check site for details.

Poor Robin.
