Day 1, 2 & 3 – Argentina


Crossing into Argentina was a daylong event - 2nd longest crossing after the Panama ferry fiasco! Long lines at both sides of the border, long line of vehicles as a result - the cops put a wheel lock on the Pathfinder as I was just short of where the line for vehicles entering Argentina ended!? Had to explain to them that it was a immigration officer who had recommended I park there - well after a prolonged discussion they did remove the lock and I could continue with a never ending border crossing - I expected the Argentinians to be a lot more competent but had to settle for just a ‘little’!

Ran into a fellow traveler from Germany - seems like a nice girl - too bloody young though

Well after hours of waiting (doing nothing) I was into Argentina - it does have a European feel to it and is a lot more organized/cleaner than other Central and South American countries - other than that - same old, same old

Most of the country is an unremarkable semi arid landscape


Long drive before I get to Patagonia and the end of my journey
