Had a good nights sleep. Took stove apart twice and still wouldn't
run so no tea today. The stove is just not starting and does not fail
with a code just tries to start for 10 mins then shuts down, but is
then flooded so need to empty the diesel out of it.
We stuck to orange
roads today - although all but about 10km were dirt. In Villazon which
is the main Argentina/Bolivia border town we bought some fuel and
pumped our tyres up. Spent time trying for WiFi and just got a
little. Managed to buy a Personal Sim for phone but cannot register
it as don't have local ID and the Personal shop was closed being
Sunday. Bought a few veggies and another kilo of walnuts. Drove on
Ruta 5 west out to the northern most road in Argentina. At last we
are finding some interesting
landscapes. Camped at 4150m altitude
looking out over a valley 600m below us.
John re pot riveted
the back right hand locker door on. Took stove completely
apart and cleaned it while a chocolate cake was cooking. Dinner will
be heated in the bread maker tonight!!
