Sign me up, amigo!<br><br>After a deceptively easy border crossing (a couple stamps and a quick photo with the Ushuaia 5,121km sign) we soon discovered what really keeps the Argentine authorities awake at night &#8211 ...

... hills.<br>We stopped at the Tropic of Capricorn for a photo, and again at a gas station for lunch. This is the first gas station to sell anything other that fuel for several countries!<br>It is starting to get a lot more European now. <br>At Jujuy the road (Ruta 9) switched from a good wide road to a single lane road through some hills.

... him take off, so cool! The views from the mountains were terrific, and it felt nice to do a sporty activity for once!<br><br>Now we are back at the hotel, and I'm off to the shower in a minute.

We headed quite literally back to the ranch where we piled into a big feed of barbeque meats and as much wine as you could consume.

Le serveur nous apporte les plats: 500 grammes de steak par assiette! Et comme d'habitude en Argentine, à peine quelques feuilles de salade comme légumes.
