AAHHHHHH!!!!!!...I dont want to be special?
Well, at the mo´Lisa and I are relaxing and recovering with good friends in Bariloche (Argentina) after accepting a fantastic invitation to stay with Moira and Jackie, a couple who´d been following our webiste and just dropped us an email. `lucky´doesn´t even cover it!
After started to feel ill the day after arriving, I became quickly worse and collapsed again (I´m just a big soft Southerner) Oh great time to visit another hospital...diagnosis MALARIA. Apparently teh strain of Malaria I was diagnosed with in Mendoza rarely returns and only bothers about 5% of those diagnosed...typical for me to be one of those 5%. I´ve just got out after three days of heavy meds, which will hopefully clear me off the Malaia parasite for good...god I don´t want this again!!!
it´ll be 10 days or so untill I´ve got the strenght back to ride.
OK, enough of the morbid ill stuff. We eventually got to the end of the World Ushuaia during early April, just in tme for their first heavy fall of snow and after 2-3 small spills on thethick compressed ice managed to find our way out to the National park and the end of Ruta 3. It was pretty awsome to think that only a few thousand Km to the South was Antarctic. After 2 days of constant rain it was time to head North. We were desperate to see the Perito Moreno Glacier and the Fitz Roy Mountain range, especially after all teh info from Fritz and Bev.
There´s not alot of point in verbally trying to convey the raw beauty and size of this monsterous glacier but here´s a few photo´s
