2 maps of where I've recently past, a 3th of the province of Buenos Aires and the Northern half of Patagonia, the road ahead. (Sorry my technical skills don't include plotting red lines on Google maps.)

There follows some vistas and other things from my previous visit to Patagonia.

I cycled from Trelew near the Atlantic coast to the Andes via National Route 25. It's a fantastically scenic road, but the wind! Shoo, don't mention the wind.

I was lucky, a passing cloud cast a nice dark shadow in the middle of this shot adding an air of mystic.

I was on the road just as the sun was rising and what wonderful light.

I thought I would be caught in a afternoon thunder storm but I found a place to camp and had the tent up just as it began to rain.

I call this the Martin Sheffield building in El Bolson.

A dusty mountain road, Paso de Cordoba, near San Martin de Los Andes.

Colourful lizard in Chilean lake district.

Bandarias, or Ibis in the English language.

Hee hee hee, sure is too warm a day to keep up with horse, can't you see my tongue hanging out.

Cattle in Cholila, land of the legend of Butch Cassidy.

And there is where he lived, La cabana de Butch Cassidy, as it's known locally, a 100 years after he fled. Note the local municipal has taken steps to preserve it with a recently repaired roof and woodwork around the windows.

Road junction in the province of Santa Cruz. Gobernador Gregores is the nearest town 110km away.

Pyramid mountain near Chalten, after an overnight dusting of snow.

A bitterly cold Spring day at the old railway station in Esquel.

Casa de Te Gales, a Welsh tea house, just what a hungry cyclist needs.

A lake comes into veiw on the road North to Barilochi.
