Hi Ron,
Maybe Him Outdoors could just paint his Landcruiser instead of getting a whole other vehicle. xxx

Hola Hazel! You’re not the only one who can’t ‘get’ the slogan on the back of the van, the woman who got us all sorted out at the Wicked Camper hire place translated it for us then told us that she didn’t really understand it. You’ve probably already run it through Google translate … or your Spanish is good enough to translate it, but for everyone else playing along at home, it says ‘Love is a disease that requires lots of bed!’ Maybe the signwriter got ‘love’ and ‘lust’ mixed up.
I have a few reservations about Argentina, but we’ll do our first border crossing tomorrow. We’ve been warned about Bariloche, which is the first large town we go through on the Argentinian side. Lots of crime there, apparently. And the Australian we met at the airport in Rio told me that the Argentinian president had put a stop to all ATM withdrawals, so we’ll make sure we have enough Chilean pesos with us to pay for things.
Glad you’re travelling with us!! Love to you and Miss Binky xx

Yep, it is pretty luxurious compared with our tent. Hardly any setting up when we get to our campsite for the night, and not much packing up in the morning. Better not get too used to it, ‘cos we’ll be back to tent camping wherever we go next. Lots of people hitch-hike here and they all look at our van and give us a smile. They probably think there’s a chance we’ll pick them up … until they see the 2 oldies sitting in it! xxx

Not quite sure what the sign on the back of the van says……
Really funny the way you have music to accompany your blogs! Certainly adds to the atmosphere.
Great photos as ever.
In Argentina I have 7 female (very distant) cousins in BA and Mendoza province at the foot of the Andes. I didn’t find it a happy place when I stayed there. Their diet is mainy with meat – not good for a vegetarian. I got violent tummy wog after (stupidly) eating raw greens. You will doubtless find it a delight and a thrill as you always seem to inject both into your trips!!!
