Finally managed to sign onto the Personal App and buy some data for the SIM.

The orange road was more like a white road with parts quite windy and slow but neat hills around. Lots of horses and cows on the road again. Turned from this dirt track onto a dual lane highway and made a few miles south before heading east into clouds. The plan was for 400km daily until Montevideo. However, we stopped at Joaquin V Gonzalez to fill with fuel, water grab a few veges then we parked by the town square and john downloaded all his documents to sign. Across the road was a Internet shop so he printed signed and had them re scanned. All took a few hours.

I chatted to Alex who was going to share our container to Antwerp. He misunderstood the price thinking the price of €2950 was to share not each. He may not be shipping with EC - will hear more from him tomorrow I guess.
Finally left town around 17:00 and continued East. Was grey and drizzling.

We saw the biggest feed lot we have ever seem. We estimate a couple of thousand head of cattle! lots of silage being made. Maybe we are finally seeing all the beef that we have heard so much about.


After a political boundary the road went south, full of potholes! just before dusk found a track off and camped between the road and railway line but at least out of sight of the road. Quite a noisy camp.

Had a great chat to Muff on messenger.
