Last night we made camp in the Lanin National park - south of San Martin Los Andes. Overnight temperature dropped to 6c - I was freezing again!
Over 2,000 km traveled and a week into the journey south, I decided that it was time for me to return home. I really wanted to make it through the Carreterra Austral but I don't have the right gear to keep me warm at camp and my off-road motorbike skills are not really up to the pace required to make it through the 'ripio' without risking life and limb!
I was also really missing the family :-( it's hard being on the road with very liitle contact.
So I packed up early this morning and wished Glenn and Cheri all the best and headed SW towards the border crossing at Puyehue. The mountain pass is absolutely beautiful, a real pleasure to ride.
I arrived safely at Anita's family home in Temuco 8 hrs later.
