Los Andes

I've arrived at my rest point for the day. The 400km ride down from
La Serena was as expected quite boring and bloodly windy! At one point
my neck was really hurting as I battled with the coastal cross winds.
Gustavo and his wife joined me for the first 100km.

I left the Ruta 5 at llay llay at took the Ruta 60 heading west
towards the mountains. The outside temp was now 30c + I'm glad I
removed my scarf and put on my thinner gloves - it's like riding
against a hairdryer!

The hotel is pretty basic but ok for a well earned rest. It's located
on the main road heading towards Portillo - my next pitstop tomorrow.
