Tied one bike on the back and another over the cab and we were
off.We passed some great blue rivers so were getting in ond out of the vehicle often.
Dropped the cyclist off in Cochrane, then we sat beside the town square and did some internet jobs.
I emailed a few
agents in Monte Video about shipping and storage of the vehicle. We
had missed the deadline to pay for Johns flights and when I emailed Frank back
I suggested he try a flight from Punte Arenus.
However
they do all the custom clearance and we just pick up the vehicle at a
later stage. One payment for stuffing and unstuffing, customs, wharf,
shipping etc. Sounds pretty good.
At Tortel we went
for a walk. One cannot drive in the town, it has wooden board walks
everywhere. Quite unusual and reminded us of Cinque Terre in Italy.
We wondered around the water front on the boardwalk. Quite a quaint
town. It has only had road access for 15 years, prior to that plan or
boat only.
Our ponchos were put to good use again. Although towards the end of our walk the rain had eased.
This little fire "Truck" took our eye. It is kept in it's "carport" and ready for action. Seems ideal as the "streets" can't carry cars and a lot of the town is close to the waters edge.

Before we left we
had a set of new flights for john so made sure we paid then sent the receipt to Benalla Travel as we will not have Internet again till
midday tomorrow.
We only traveled about
8km’s before we stopped at 719:30 by a small river for the night.
194 km
