Well, things started off pretty nice, then descended into the storm of a generation…
Helmetz – Comodoro Rivadavia
Helmetz – San Carlos de Bariloche
This started the 3 days of some of the worst weather ever as we headed for the border with Argentina.
San Carlos de Bariloche Boyz
Stayed at a weird ski lodge… some more wildlife, and realized this was the country obsessed with Fernet Branca! Again, got in a little late after the border crossing and had to wait for the snow and ice to melt before leaving in the AM. We had a long day ahead of us as we planned on going across the entire country.
Osorno Boyz
Got in late, left super early to get to Argentina… stayed at a Sonesta!
Amazing views and the wildlife was everywhere.
Plenty of weirdness at this hotel…
Helmetz – Osorno
Yes, a push to Osorno was our last day in Chile. What a crazy, crazy ride.
Santiago Boyz
Well, with the national holiday which ran from Friday through Monday, there were not a lot of options to get a tire changed,
Which also left us with zero options for dinner – even the hotel restaurant was closed… so?
My first CJr! “If you so smart, how come you don’t know dat?”
Nothing would set the bead, so Alex had to get an Uber and ride out to the barrio…
Helmetz – Santiago
Riding away from La Serena… into a city celebrating their national holiday!
La Serena Boyz
Well, you could really tell you’re not in the desert anymore… the weather was cold, wet, and gray skies.
At least they fixed up the old lighthouse…
My hotel room door had no number.
For some reason the pool was open… it was 40 degrees out!
Yup.
Helmetz – La Serena
Earl day on the road, passed through many towns on the way to La Serena. Leaving the Atacama was rather sad given that we really only spent two days there! The scenery changes quite dramatically throughout the day…
Antofagasta Boyz
Not too much to report here, other than a great beach and a somewhat quiet night….
