Muy Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu, Ar
Saturday, April 8th, 2006Buenos Aires is a fantastic city. This is the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace. Evita used to address her people from that balcony.
Unfortunately, out of the millions of people in Buenos Aires, no one wants to buy a Ford Explorer. The problem is that there is some silly law about selling a car with foreign license plates on it.
Lesson: it is not true what you might hear about corruption here; at least the customs office is not corrupt. Result: we drove for 16 hours to get to the border with Paraguay where we are right now. We are going to Ciudad del Este which has a reputation for, well, let’s just say the law is hopefully different there about importing and selling a car. Conveniently, Ciudad del Este is just down the road from Iguazu Falls, which are supposed to have a bunch of water falling over rocks or something along those lines.

Beach town with a ship wrecked on the beach; my kind of place. Peninsula Valdes- Free Willy indeed!

There is a 150-mile stretch of highway north of Rio Gallegos with a whole lot of nuthin´on it. We got about 142 miles before our truck decided to give us a little extra time ... [Continue reading this entry] Rio Gallegos

The big attraction in the town for us was the hotel. From Ushuaia we crossed the Argentina-Chile border twice and had to wait for a ferry to cross the Straits of Magellan.
Ushuaia, Ar – It´s the end of the world as we know it!
